Chapter 19 Cassandra's crystal buzzed, breaking the tension. She snatched it up, her heart pounding as she saw Adrian's name flash on the facet. Hoping that he would come back she answered quickly. "Adrian?" Cassandra trembled, her face ashen like dust. "Please come back, where are you?" "Where I should have been from the beginning. I am going to fetch my mate. I am not coming back. I called to inform you that you must get out of my house by tomorrow. When Selene comes back I don't want her mood to be ruined because of your disgusting presence." Cassandra's breath hitched as she cried, "What... What the hell are you talking about? We're supposed to be binding today!" "Bind a bitch like you? Do you think you can become the Blackthorn clan's Luna by climbing into my bed? If it wasn't for the misunderstanding I wouldn't have kept you around at all!" "No Adrian! Please-" "I will make your life hell, Cassandra. This is just the beginning." "No! What about our pup?! How can you be so heartless to your child, Adrian? If you don't come here right now then I will fucking cull this pup!" With manic laughter Cassandra replied, to which Adrian calmly smiled. "Then fucking do it!" "W-What? It's your heir that you always wanted! It's our child!" "Our child? Don't you dare dream. Only Selene's children are mine; I don't care what you do with this pup. If you want to give birth then go ahead and do it; I will later give it to Selene for raising because you only seem to treat it like a weapon to enter my world. Cassandra, you are not fit to be a mother at all!" Adrian couldn't even fathom why he had selected such a she-wolf over Selene and was angry at himself. "Adrian! Are you leaving me for that stupid barren woman?!" "Shut up! My mate is pregnant with twins, not one but two heirs! I don't need you and your lies anymore." "Twins?" Cassandra finally managed to say, her voice cracking. "You hate her. You've always hated Selene, she is lying to you! There are no fucking twins!" "She is not you, Cassandra. I hated the image of Selene that you made me believe she was. When Selene was there I had everything, but because of you I lost my mate and children! My grandfather threw me out of the family and all my life was ruined. You are a disaster!" Cassandra's mouth opened, but no words came out. The room seemed to be spinning around her. "Please don't do this to me, Adrian. What about me?" Cassandra whispered, her voice breaking. "What about us?" "There was no us from the very beginning; it was all your illusion." On the most important day of her life, Cassandra was left alone in her moon-white dress, surrounded by the wreckage of a day that was supposed to be hers. Considering the situation that had already gone out of hand, Diana Rivers quickly ended the Refore loft him I was 9:42 pm P feast, forcing the guests to leave even when they wished to witness the drama. Diana was shocked beyond belief to learn the daughter she had considered innocent was this kind of monster. At that moment guilt and anxiousness to see Selene made her eyes tear up. Pa! A loud noise echoed through the surroundings as Diana slapped Cassandra harshly. "How dare you! Bitch!" Slapping Cassandra made her hand tremble as the headmaid supported her to the divan. "You dirty wench! Not only did you fail to procure any benefits for my sons but you also dared to compete with my daughter. I would have been the grandmother of the Blackthorn heirs and you snatched everything from us! See, I don't kill you today!" Cassandra cowered in fear as another slap landed on her cheek; even the servants looked shocked. "What the fuck did you say to Adrian? You dared to stab us in the back when we treated you so kindly, even going as far as to kick our blood daughter out just for your sake!" "I-I... it was a mistake, brother. I never intended to blame you; Adrian forced me to lie to his grandsire to save face-" "Shut up with your lies. All those years ago you told us that Adrian's house was forcing you into this bond with an almost dying man; at that time we did not mind the heavy loss in our trade and we broke up your engagement and even sent you away! Later, when Adrian got well and Selene bound to him, you told us that she seduced your fiancé and we even fucking believed you and threw out our sister without a penny!" Leonard wanted to lash out at Cassandra yet refrained from making another mistake. "Tell us, wasn't it you who used to say that Selene always bullied you in the academy, forcing us to make our sister drop out? Do you fucking remember when you both got into a wagon crash four years ago? We brought you to the healer's hall while Selene was left to die on the road because we forgot about her!" Victor glared at Cassandra, gritting his teeth in rage. "Turns out it's not Selene but you who is a snake!" 9:42 pm P Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
