Larina’s POV
I watched Kayden’s mum descend the staircase, with a smile on her face. I had waited so many days already, yet she refused to apologize to me.
I tried my best not to stare at her, so I wouldn’t raise any kind of suspicion, but that became more difficult as each second went by.
I folded my fist when I saw Imogen come to talk to her, when she stood in the middle of the stairs.
Imogen is always getting in my way. Couldn’t she have waited for her to get downstairs before she began her gossip. What pained me the most was the fact that I couldn’t hear a single word that they were voicing to each other.
I felt relieved when Imogen went back upstairs to her room. I was scared that she would have suffered for the sins of Kayden’s mum.
I got a notification from my phone, and brought it out just to check.
“Ahhh!” A scream distracted me.
I was so delighted, I was waiting all day to hear that scream and it came so suddenly.
It sounded very beautiful, especially because it came from Kayden’s mum.
I looked in her direction, to see her rolling down the remaining stairs.
Maids and guards ran to her rescue, but before they could get to her, she had already rolled down to the bottom of the stairs.
“Mum” Imogen screamed, pretending to care as she also ran toward Kayden’s mum, Miranda.
Miranda had completely fallen unconscious and I couldn’t be happier.
I walked out of the scene, pretending like I didn’t see the whole thing happen.
I had purposely spilled some oil on the stairs just when I saw Miranda heading towards the stairs.
I wanted my revenge to be swift, and I didn’t intend to do a lot of damage to her anyways.
I followed the other end of the staircase heading towards my room.
I was about to open the door, when I felt someone tap me from behind.
“Lu..” I couldn’t finish my statement, when Lucas clasped his palm over my mouth, pulling me away from the door.
He forced open my door, and pushed me inside the room.
He swiftly locked the door behind us, as he finally took his hands off me.
“What is the meaning of this lucas? I am not in the mood to see you “I warned him and he hissed.
I finally had my revenge on Kayden’s mom. And seeing Lucas in front of me ruined my mood for some reason.
“And you think I am very much in the mood to see you?” He asked me back and I rolled my eyes.
“Get naked. I know why you are here,?” I was very disgusted by my statement. I never envisioned that I would say that to Lucas of all people.
“You just think about sxx day and night don’t you?” He asked me, and I was shocked
“Isn’t that the reason you are here? Do you prefer I beat around the bush rather than going straight to the point?” I asked him, and he kept mute.
“Is that what you think of me? Nothing but a sxx freak?” He questioned, almost sounding angry.
“Obviously, Yes'” I blatantly answered this question without thinking twice.
I was never one to sugar coat my words. And even if I did, why would I want to sound sweet to lucas. He basically wants no good for me, so why should I impress him?
“I’m very sorry. But, I am not Kayden” he hissed, looking away from me.
My fist folded, with my face turning red. I was trying so much to hold back my anger but I was failing miserably at it.
It was a good thing that he was backing me.
“Why are you here Lucas ?” I took a deep breath, reminding myself that Lucas might be foolish, but he knows my secret.
“I am worried, ” he replied.
“And what exactly does that have to do with me?” I asked him, and he took a deep breath.
“You are the reason I am worried about Larina” he was agitated.
I narrowed my eyes, arching my eyebrows and I turned my head to the side. What Was this fool worried about?
“What did I do?” I questioned.
“Nothing” , his reply was a shock to me.
“I didn’t do anything, and you decided to be worried. Lucas, you’re driving me insane. Just say what you want to say and get out “I snapped my fingers in his face, pointing towards the door.
He caught my hand, twisting my wrist.
“Don’t forget that I still have the upper hand here. If I were you, then I wouldn’t be blabbing my mouth so much” he spoke, and threw my hand in the air.
“I refuse to take any form of disrespect from you,” he added.
“You say you’re smart, but days have gone by, and you haven’t made a single move on how we are going to dethrone Kayden or better still kill him ” Lucas sounded pissed.
I rolled my eyes in disgust. Does this fool really think that I want to dethrone Kayden or even kill him? I need Kayden alife more than anybody on this earth.
I even want him to be stronger as a king, so he would eventually marry me when I finally get rid of that stupid Rhea.
“What do you want me to ro do? Kayden has been out of the packhouse for days now. No one knows his whereabouts. How I’m I going to dethrone or kill a man I can’t see? “I asked him.
“I don’t know how you intend to do it. But, you better start thinking of a way to do that fast. We are running outta time” he told me.
“Running out of time?” I was confused.
“Yes, if Rhea gets pregnant then we are done for. I will never be able to rule as king, because her child will take over even though Kayden passes away” he told me.
He was stupid, but he had a point. If Rhea gives Kayden an heir, then my dreams will never become reality.
I will never let that happen. I just have to do something quick, before it’s too late.
“Then let’s get rid of the problem” I suggested.
