CHAPTER THIRTY FIVE
Naya stood speechlessly for a long time in the quiet room, she felt numb, not knowing what to think or say anymore as it dawned on her that Rhys was not to be reckoned with, he had made up his mind and from the look of things was never going to let her go.
She signed deeply, as she tried to call herself down, thinking of any way out, but she didn’t want to try anything that would make him hurt her sister.
Knowing Rhys he’d definitely hurt someone she loved and that person was Zara, he knew that was her weakness and he was going to use it against her.
Bending over, she began to pick up the pieces of the water vase slowly, careful enough not to hurt herself.
She heard the shower flowing as water droplets fell on the ground and that gave her the hunch that Rhys was having a shower.
She picked up the pieces and trashed them, before getting a brown which she used in sweeping the sand, she packed the dirt, trashed them, and slowly left the room.
As Naya walked back to her room, she held a straight face, as she was literally feeling nothing but the fact that everything was over.
It was all her fault as well, the plan was to lay low and leave one day.
But how would she do that being with Rhys a person she couldn’t tell that she was a werewolf, vampires, and werewolves were enemies, there was no way she was going to spill that, and there was no way she would ever leave again, she still hadn’t settled scores with Magnus and was sure to do that.
She was still walking slowly, her mind somewhere else when she bumped into someone.
Her face scrunched up with a frown as the person was the last person she wanted to see or even talk to. Her presence would only add more burden to her.
“Sorry..” she apologized making her way to leave, there was no need to hide the fact that she couldn’t speak anymore. Everyone heard her back at the gathering, they all now knew that she was not mute.
“So it was true all along.” Esme began scornfully and Naya just inhaled deeply, she definitely had a lot of explanations to give and make them understand that she had no idea.
“No, it’s not true,” Naya uttered, her voice shaky.
“What’s not true Naya?” Esme snapped with a cold look.
“The fact that you can speak!!!” She exclaimed in horror, esme was in a great shock when she heard Naya speak, she had always seen her as a threat who came to steal everything she had worked for and Naya turned out to be an actual threat.
How can a girl who just came to the palace not long ago in the eyes of the vampire lord? What magic did Naya use as Esme had been trying to gain that same thing for years and she had not still been noticed by any of them, just Naya….
“I never lied to you, it was the way things were going. I had no choice ”
Esme’s eyes narrowed, and she crossed her arms over her chest.
“You expect us to believe that?” she asked, her voice full of doubt.
“After all this time, you were not mute after all. How dare you lie to us ?? My mother had to go learn sign language and it was all because of an ingrate like you!!” Esme fired at Naya, who just kept quiet and said nothing while Esme blabbed on.
“I’ve always known that you’re up to no good, you hideous human. Appearing out of nowhere, looking mysterious with your damn mute self and your sister who acts like she’s the queen of the world. I always knew that guy was not to be trusted.. gosh…” Esme groaned as she eyed Naya.
“How dare you lie and deceive all of us? Who do you seriously think you are?”
“I didn’t lie,” Naya said, her voice growing stronger.
“I never lied to you. I never said I couldn’t speak. You just assumed that, and I didn’t correct you. That doesn’t mean I was being deceitful. I never meant to hurt any of you.”
Esme snorted. “Oh, so you were just letting us believe something that wasn’t true?” she asked, her voice sharp.
“That’s just as bad. You knew we had the wrong idea, and you let us believe it. That’s not honest either.”
“You think you can fool me, not only did you act mute, you pretended to be so innocent and went ahead to fuck lord Rhys, you must have kept throwing yourself at him, that must be why he picked you..” Esme laughed.
“But trust me Naya, that’s nothing to be proud of. You’re just a slut that’s going to pleasure him, with time, he’ll get married and you’ll be his mistress. A mistress…” Esme spelled out in a mocking tone but Naya still kept a straight face.
“And what’s wrong with that?” She asked slowly.
“What?” Esme asked as her smile fell.
“What’s wrong with that?” Naya asked again.
“I got what you were never able to get in months, I know fully well Esme that if you were chosen to lick Rhys shoes, you’d do that without hesitation, so definitely I’m far more better than you! You’re literally the most unproductive person I’ve ever seen. While others are going higher, you and your dumb ass of a mother just remain rooted to a spot not moving, no promotions, no nothing.. so trust me, baby girl, I’m a hundred times better than you and I will always be..” Naya stated as Esme fumed silently in anger, she was beginning to wish that Naya was really mute, because she hated the Naya that spoke, her words were so…
Esme was seething, and Naya could see the anger boiling under the surface. She knew she had gone too far, but she couldn’t stop herself. She felt like she had to defend herself, and she didn’t care who she hurt in the process, besides Esme and her mother were too much and they would never stop taunting her.
“You’re a horrible person,” Esme spat, her eyes flashing. “You’re selfish and manipulative, and you only care about yourself. You don’t care about anyone else’s feelings, and you’re willing to say and do anything to get what you want. You’re the worst person I know.”
“But this horrible person had been able to achieve what you were never able to do. You’re jealous of this horrible person..” Naya pointed out with a knowing look.
“You’re the one that’s horrible!” Naya fired at Esme. People like her did not deserve her explanation, she would only get what was coming for her.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Esme clenched her fists, and Naya saw her face turn red with rage. She knew she had struck a nerve, and she almost felt a pang of guilt. But she pushed it down and steeled herself against Esme’s fury.
“You have no idea what you’re talking about,” Esme spat.
“You don’t know anything about me, or my life. You’re just a spoiled, selfish brat who’s a manipulative bitch and knows nothing..”
“I know enough,” Naya muttered, her own anger beginning to build.
“I know you’re jealous and bitter, and that’s why you’re attacking me. You’ve always been attacking me, Esme. You think you could bully me all because I was mute, you and Jennet but look who has the upper hand now?” Naya raised a brow at Esme.
“I became better, while you just remain an ordinary maid.”
Esme’s eyes widened, and for a moment Naya thought she might cry. But then, her face twisted in a sneer, and she stepped closer to Naya.
“You’re nothing but a little girl who got lucky,” she hissed. “You got lucky, and you think you’re so much better than everyone else. But you’re not. You’re still just a petty, sneaky child.”
“And that got me somewhere but you go nowhere. Now look, Esme..” Naya began in a warning glare.
“Stay away from me unless you don’t want your stay here to be peaceful. Rhys listens to me and you know what that means..” she deadpanned as Esme stilled swallowing deep.
“Have a nice day..” she flashed a smile at Esme before walking away.
