Chapter 127
still Bethany's POV
“What the hell are you talking about, Beth, I thought I asked you to stay with Ciara, why did you leave her alone?” he asked me calmly, acting so natural. His face was so straight, you would never know that he is hiding anything, how can he keep a straight face and lie to me so effortlessly. It makes me wonder if everything he has been saying to me had been a lie, how or earth do I differentiate his lies and truth?
“What the hell is wrong with you, Dominic?
Are you always this mean and heartless, how can you look me in the eyes and lie straight to my face, how despicable are you?" I asked him angrily.
“What the hell are you talking about, Bethany, why would you speak to me this way in front of everyone, what the hell is wrong with you?" he scolded me furiously, giving me a stern look. I almost laughed at his words, to think that all he cares about is the fact that people are witnessing what is happening right now.
“Don't you f*****g patronize me, Dom. I heard everything Doctor Fred said to you, I heard everything you did, how could you do this to her, why would you let her out of the hospital when you know that she is a ticking time bomb that is just about to £0 off. He warned you about this Dom, he told you she was a danger to herself and everyone else in this pack. Yet you chose to let her out because of your stupid plans.
Do you have any idea how this whole thing will affect her?
I guess you weren't thinking about her feelings, you never think about anyone else but yourself.
You selfish son of a b***ht
She has nightmares already, she is broken and sad and miserable, yet you chose to add to her misery by turning her into a murderer. Thanks for giving her something else that would keep her awake all night. You bastard!” I cursed angrily, glaring furiously at him. If eyes could kill, he would be dead by now. I could just strangle him right now, that is how furious I am. He is just unbelievable, just when I am beginning to think that we are going forward in our relationship, just when I begin to believe that we are in a better place, then he ups his game and does something so unbelievable that makes me wonder why I even believe his lies in the first place. I guess I simply do not want to believe that he is nothing but a douchbag. I keep talking myself into believing that he is going to change at some point, I keep telling myself that he is a good man and he is doing all this to protect us, but this is the height of it all, I just can't take this anymore, it's high time I come to terms with reality, it's time former to see him for who he truly is.
“Oh come on, Beth. Stop pretending to be mad at me whenever I make a decision that would benefit us all. This childish act of yours is getting old and boring, you can't keep up this silly act for long, it’s getting me upset already. You should know that I would do whatever it takes to win this war and save our people, you have seen what he does to people, it's all his faut not mine. For £***s sake, he killed Alpha Richard, he made the potion that did this to Ciara, he turned my people against me, he killed thousands of our people search he is ready to kill more until he wipes us off the surface of the earth.
I thought you should have understood what this mission is all about by now, I thought you will stand by my decisions after seeing the dangers we are facing. Bethany, he uses black magic to lure women to his bed, and he creates many mysterious, deadly potions that he uses to achieve his aims. We have only one shot at this, if we attack and fail, we won't have a second chance to attack him anymore because we would all be dead and dead men can't fight. Why can't you understand that?” he yelled back at me, proving to me that I was right all along, he is an a*****e.
“So all this time that we have been together, all this time that you talked about changing your attitude and caring more about your people, about me... Are you telling me that you never meant any of those words, you just lied to me?” I sobbed a Iasked him.
“No, Beth. I never lied to you. I do love you and I'm willing to change because of you, but don't get it mixed up, my love. I would never do anything that would compromise my hard work, I would never make a decision that will put my people in danger. I love you, Beth, and I'll always do, but this war comes first in my life. I don't mind risking my own life as long as I pu an end to our misery once and for all. So get on board, my love, get used to the fact that my decisions may be rash, you may not like my decision always but you have to trust me and understand that everything I do is for our good. Now be a good gir and go be with your friend, she needs you now more than ever, she needs to return to her usual self before next week, can you do that for me, my love?” He asked teasingly, smiling down at me.
“Of course, my love. You know I would do anything for my friends, don't you?" I responded with a smile, pulling out my phon from my pocket. I imputed my code and unlocked my phone, then I scrolled down my call log and dialed a number, trying so hard to hide the screen so he doesn't see who I'm calling. She picked up after a few rings and I heard her voice on the receiver as she happily responded to my call, telling me how happy and excited she is right now and how she missed me.
“I miss you too, Gracie. Your sisters miss you as well and that is why we would be coming over to your place first thing in the morning” I told her, eyeing Dominic who looked at me with rage in his eyes. He tried to grab my phone, but it was too late. I turns out that Lorenzo was there with Graciela and he has heard what I said as well. If he takes the phone from me, they would both know that something is wrong and it would ruin all his plans to work with the Mafia Lord.
“I thought you were not supposed to come until next week, what changed? Lorenzo asked through the receiver, making me smirk at Dominic, daring him to try and grab my phone.
“Well, you see, Dominic has been so busy fighting these wars, and right now the castle is so boring and it is affecting Ciara's condition. I think it would be much better if she changes her environment, for now, it would aid her recovery." I told him, lying effortlessly. Actually, it wasn't all lies, per se, I mean it when I said that she needs a new environment to aid her recovery.
“Cool, I'll be expecting you girls tomorrow. I can't wait... I can't wait..” Gracie screamed excitedly, making me smile brightly. "Actually, I had wanted to surprise you with our visit tomorrow, but I had to call you because something came up and the guys had to leave with all the cars in the house. Would you mind sending a car over here to pick us up by 8:00 am tomorrow?” I asked her and she readily agreed because she misses her family as well. I guess she must be living well now because she sounds so different and she sounds happy. I really can't wait to see her.
“What the hell is wrong with you, what have you done?” he yelled at me, screaming so loudly that we attracted the attention of everyone around.
“Well, it turns out that you were right Dom, we both lied to each other about our feelings for each other and so many other things. And right now I'm about to tell you one truth that would save us more stress and heartache. I'm done Dom, I'm so frrereg Done. Tomorrow I'll take these girls to their sister and I'l try and communicate with doctor Fred so we can find a way to help her before it is too late. I'll leave my mom and my sister in your castle and I'll come back to take them away when I get my life in order. I would help you in any way I can, I would help you win this war because all our lives depend on it, but don't get it all mixed up, my love. You see this thing between us, it's over."
