Chapter 21
MALIYA
Alpha Xander’s offer was a trap. I could feel it in my soul. It was too good to be true and I’d be stupid to believe that he was actually going to grant any of my wishes, irrespective of what I asked.
I stood frozen, my eyes fixed on Alpha Xander’s piercing gaze. My mind raced with doubts, but I still wanted to give benefit of doubt.
For all I know, he might be serious about granting my request since I was carrying his child, but I don’t want to expectations.
“I can’t trust him,” I thought to myself. My eyes narrowed slightly as I weighed my options. It’s too good to be true. He’s hiding something.
My body language betrayed me as my weight shifted subtly from one foot to the other. My fingers drummed against my thighs I thought of what to do.
Why am I even considering his offer? If there is something I need the most right now, it is my freedom. I know he would never grant–me that and dying doesn’t sound that bad either.
I just needed to escape the reality. I am tired of living, I want to die so badly but I can’t even bring myself to do something that I might end up regretting.
Alpha Xander’s eyes never left mine. He stood there, waiting patiently for my response but all I could think about was leaving this dreadful world to find some peace,
“I don’t have all day, Alpha Xander broke the silence and my heart skipped a beat. I was tempted to ask him for my freedom but I knew he would never grant it, not even in my wildest dreams.
“You should consider my offer while I am being nice. You don’t have to do this the hard way, because either way, you would be following my order,” he pointed and I sighed.
Of course, what was I expecting anyway? That he was suddenly going to change and be nice to me because I was carrying child?
He had no heart. There was no way he would care whether I ate or not
I blinked away the tears that were threatening to fall from my eyes and gripped my dress tight to the extent of almost ripping it apart.
For some reason, I felt disappointed even though I wasn’t surprised to hear what he had to say. People don’t change that easily, especially not a heartless man like Alpha Xander.

“You will eat and take care of yourself, starting now. I won’t have you harming my child through neglect. He said sternly and I swallowed the lumps in my throat.
I felt a surge of anger at his commanding tone, but a part of me was relieved that he wasn’t yelling or threatening me. Yet. “You will eat a healthy meal every day, and rest when you need to. I expect to see an improvement in your condition by the time Treturn.”
I nodded reluctantly, my eyes fixed on the floor. I couldn’t meet his gaze, afraid of what I might see there.
“I will be back soon to hear your response, he continued. “I expect you to make the right decision. Don’t think that you have a choice, because you don’t. You will do as I say, for the sake of our child.”
I felt a shiver run down my spine at his words, my heart pounded in my chest and I knew that I was trapped, with no escape from his demands.
“Yes, Alpha,” I whispered, my voice barely audible.
Alpha Xander nodded, his eyes never leaving mine, “Good. I will be back soon.”
With that, he turned and left the room, leaving me feeling scared and trapped. I knew that I had to make a decision, but I was torn between my desire for freedom and my fear of Alpha Xander’s punishment if I went against him once again.
What am I going to do now? I thought to myself, I can’t escape even if I want to and I can’t defy his orders as long as I am here.
I felt tears prick at the corners of my eyes and I could no longer hold them back. Years streamed down my face as I thought about his words over and over again.
All my life. I have been treated unfairly and if there was anything I wanted, it was to make the people who turned me into a mere slave suffer the same fate as mine, but in a much crueller way.
Wiped my tears away harshly as my mind went back to the way Kane sold me off without sparing me a look.
I meant nothing to the people that meant the world to me and I wanted to ruin them for all the pain and suffering they have cost me.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
I don’t care if that is the last thing I accomplish before I die, but I will get my revenge on every single one of them
I need my strength. Before I can fight anyone or even plan to do anything, I need to be in good shape.
Just then, a maid came into the room with a tray of food in her hands.
“Madam Rosalie said you should eat or she would be forced to punish you,” the maid said, as she placed the tray carefully on
the bed.
I pulled the tray closer and the maid’s eyes widened in shock. She had expected me to thrash the room and break the plates like I had been doing for the past few days, but I was determined to survive this time, and I wouldn’t give up.
My stomach grumbled out loud as I took a spoon and it felt like there were a bunch of pins in my stomach that stung me at once as soon as I took the first bite.
I hadn’t eaten in so long and my stomach was hurting so bad.
I winced from the pain and closed my eyes, but I reminded myself that I could not give up.
I stuffed the food in my mouth, ignoring the pain that was eating me up as I continued to chant to myself.
I need to fight my enemy. I need to be strong. Before I can take down anyone who has ever crossed me, I need to stop being
weak.
My eyes glint with tears as my stomach burns from each bite I took but I didn’t stop eating until I finished eating everything on my plate.
I am going to survive no matter what it takes.
Alpha Xander
I went back to my room after speaking the girl, but I couldn’t help but wonder if she was really going to listen to me,
I knew she was stubborn from the onset and that was the only reason why she could even survive for this long, but the fear of her harming the baby with her stubbornness makes me desperate.
I felt a shiver run down my spine at his words, my heart pounded in my chest and I knew that I was trapped, with no escape from his demands.
“Yes, Alpha,” I whispered, my voice barely audible.
Alpha Xander nodded, his eyes never leaving mine. “Good. I will be back soon.”
With that, he turned and left the room, leaving me feeling scared and trapped. I knew that I had to make a decision, but 1 was torn between my desire for freedom and my fear of Alpha Mander’s punishment if I went against him once again.
What am I going to do now? I thought to myself, I can’t escape even if I want to and I can’t defy his orders as long as I am here.
I felt tears prick at the corners of my eyes and I could no longer hold them back. Years streamed down my face as I thought about his words over and over again.

I knew she was stubborn from the onset and that was the only reason why she could even survive for this long, but the fear of her harming the baby with her stubbornness makes me desperate.
I don’t know if she would take my offer seeing how unamused she was, but I hope she does.
Alpha, Madamn Rosalie is here to see you, one of the maids announced.
Just then, Madam Rosalie came in and bowed to show her respect.
“What is going on? Why do you look so bothered? Is something bothering you?” Madarn Rosalie asked with a concerned look on her face.
I sighed at our pathetic my current situation was.
“All my life, I have been treated badly. When I needed love the most and was desperately begging for it, nobody was there to support me.” I chuckled at the memory and Madam Rosalie just watched me speak.
“When the late Luna informed me that I could never be a father, I cried secretly every night. I was so sad that I thought of killing myself a couple of times because of the shame,” I sheered.
“Do you know how hard it was for me to move on?” My gaze met with Rosalie and she only watched me speak. There was no sign of sympathy or judgement in her eyes. She just listened and 1 smiled.
“I hated everyone for not only ruining my life but also, my family line. I wanted to break them even in their death, but then a miracle happened.”
I turned to look at Rosalie in the eyes once again without breaking eye contact this time.
“A maid is carrying my child… that child is a miracle and I’d be damned if I let anything happen to the baby.”
