CHAPTER TWO
1364 Words
My world came to a halt, what? What did he just say? How could he say this so casually like I meant nothing to him? We have been married for ten years so how could he say this so calmly like I meant nothing to him.
“My lawyers are getting the divorce papers ready. You can stay in the guesthouse for now but for real, I am tired of you. I am breaking up with you, Uriel”
“You can not do that” I tried to touch him but he shoved me off, I almost fell but I caught myself immediately. My mind went to my child but somehow I found it hard to tell him anything. Today is our anniversary, does he even remember that? Does he remember that today was the day we sealed our fate together? How could he casually just…
“Babe, you can’t….
“Louisa is the one I want to be with, get that into your head”
“No!” I yelled out as tears welled up in my eyes, “you can’t say that. She is married to my father. How can you love someone else’s wife? How can you…
“Your father is not much of a man anyways. You can sleep here tonight, I want you gone by the morning”
I opened my mouth to say something but he turned around and started walking towards the house but stopped again. This time he didn’t bother to turn around.
“I, Felix Devanpool, reject you as my mate and Luna, Uriel Harvey from this day until the end of our lives” . With that, he walked away without looking back. This is not my husband, this is not the man I married. Something must have happened and only Louisa can tell me what. She did something to my husband, I am as certain as anything.
Without thinking much, I rushed into the house and grabbed a car key from the cabinet and in a few minutes, I was on my way to my father’s house, a house I have not stepped into for two years. I agree that I have not been a good daughter but then again…that’s by the way. Does my father even know his wife is cheating on him? I had a lot of questions but I have no one to give me an answer yet. Louisa, she was the only person who had an answer to all of my questions.
Half an hour later, I pulled up in front of my gate but no one came to open it even after honking for a while. Where the hell was the gateman, he should be at his post, that was why he was being paid. I climbed out of the car and went to knock on the gate. This was when he opened the gates, looking at me like he had never met me before.
“Didn’t you hear me honk?” I asked angrily.
“I am sorry ma’am but I am not meant to open the gates for you”
I took a step back, what rubbish was he saying?
“The madam said not to let you in,” he said again.
“Get out of my f*****g way” I angrily pushed him away and walked past him. What does he mean by I wasn’t allowed into the house? This was my father’s house and I could come and go as I pleased. I walked into the living room and saw her seated on a couch, a glass of wine twirling in her hand.
“I knew you would come” Louisa said, amusement dancing in her eyes.
“Of course I would” I snapped, “you think I will let you get away with seducing my husband? I will tell my father and you will be punished for what you did. How dare you even think of going near Felix”
Louisa chuckled before gulping down her wine. She looked too composed for someone who was about to be queried by her husband.
“I am glad you came, Uriel” she said after a while, “we can settle this once and for all”
Louisa stood up and started walking towards the wine rack again. She looked so calm, so collected and it annoyed me so much. Why the heck must I compete with this woman for everything, including my husband? I had to compete for my father’s love and now…
“We no longer wanted to hide it, sweetheart” Louisa continued, “but you have found out so there is no need to hide it anymore. Felix and I have been seeing each other for two years now. You weren’t meant to find out on your anniversary but you are just as inquisitive as your father, too bad! Now the cat is out of the bag”
“You are nothing but an opportunistic woman, Louisa” I gritted my teeth together as anger surged through me. I wanted to grab a hold of her and let my wolf take care of her. I hated her and right now, I hated her even more. How morally loose she could be!
Louisa chuckled again, downing another glass and continued to pour another.
“Don’t act like you are the moon goddess’s favorite, Uriel” she retorted, “Felix never wanted you, you knew that but you were too in love to understand what’s going on”
“Does dad know that you are cheating on him?”
“Hmmm” she nodded, “that old bag of bones. He can’t do anything now, can he?”
“What….
“Go check on your father, he is in his room”
I turned around and made to leave but her next words halted me,
“I will suggest you sign the divorce papers when they arrive, Uriel. Let’s not get too involved with each other”
“You will pay for this”
I finally ran out of the living room, up the stairs and into my father’s room. My world came crashing when I saw the man lying on the bed, breathing with the help of an oxygen mask. What the hell happened to him? I haven’t seen him for two years but that doesn’t mean we don’t talk. We talked on the phone and he had never talked about being sick.
“Dad?” His name rolled out of my lips and I rushed towards him, he looked so pale and lifeless. How did I not know something was wrong with my father? I lowered myself on the space beside him and I gently grabbed his hand.
“Dad?” I called out again.
“He won’t wake up” Louisa’s voice cut me out of my train of thought and I looked up to see her by the door,
“He is already brain dead, the pack healer confirmed it”
“What?
“The wolfsbane was too much for his body to handle and now he is the way”
“What wolfsbane?” I asked, wide eyes, “how did he get wolfsbane in his body?”
She laughed, walking into the room, “Says the daughter who hasn’t seen her father in two years. You came to tell your father about my affair right, you are welcome to tell him my love. He can hear you, he just can not do anything about it. As for Felix, we already talked about it. You can stay as long as you want with your father, I am going to bed”
This has to be the most bizarre thing I have ever heard, she doesn’t even seem remorseful to say the least.
“And yes, I was the one who put your father in that condition, my love. He was becoming too overbearing. Felix and I will be announcing our relationship in two weeks, make sure everything is already settled by then”
And that’s how she disappeared out of the room leaving me more confused than I have ever been in my entire life.
