Chapter 43
Gemini’s POV
Tears tugged at the corners of my lashes as I spoke, my voice trembling with the weight of my emotions,
Trust me, I felt even worse when I first found out the details of the agreement between King Asher and my Pack. Of course I expected something similar, cause he couldn’t have purchased me because he was obsessed with me, I would be delusional to think that. But it didn’t change the percentage of hurt I felt. Coupled with the fact that I was being mistreated by another mate of mine.
Makes me wonder if he would reject me as well once he was done using me.
Oh Fate’s cruel way of teaching me lessons I never wished to learn. The concept of fated mates is supposed to be a blessing, a bond unbreakable. Yet here I was feeling more like a pawn in some cosmic game.
Asher’s cold voice pulled me from my thoughts. “What the heck are what I was talking about and I even had evidence.
e you talkin
talking about?” He queried, trying to sound clueless. But I knew exactly
I pulled out the picture Gavin had sent me earlier-
After the file I had found in his room that day, and mom’s weird reply to my question, I became even more curious to find out what my purpose here was. It all started with snooping around King Asher’s room, which of course he was smart enough to change the location of the file to somewhere I couldn’t think of. 1 tried asking his family, but that didn’t work either cause they basically hate me. Except Cain, but Cain wasn’t willing to snitch on his brother despite not being on good terms with him. Knowing I had no other hope. I had to seek help elsewhere.
Gavin managed to find this after snooping around Pierre’s office. It wasn’t an easy one, but he did it anyway, for me
After finding the document, his expression alone was enough to make me realise that I was about to get broken. “Are you sure you want to see this, Gem?” He said, tears forming in his eyes.
I swallowed hard but replied with surety, “Yes, Gavin. Send it!”
The contract clearly stated that I would give him an heir and have no rights whatsoever to the child. So basically, the money he paid was for full custody of the child and not actually to own me‘ as he made it seem that night.
The whole of yesterday was spent in my room and in tears. I stayed up, re–living what my life was before Asher, up until this afternoon. That explains the picture that was displayed on my laptop earlier. I spent hours crying that I didn’t even realise I was under a ‘room arrest”
“How the fuck did you get that?” He asked, a hint of anger in his tone.
My face had gone completely red from trying to fight back my tears, but his reply caused the brewing storm inside of me to explode.
“Did you really think I wouldn’t find out? Did you think I was that naive to think that you wanted me!
“This is selfishness, Asher. Pure selfishness. I’ve never met someone as selfish and heartless as you. I wish I had never met you, I wish you had crushed me over with your car that day. I would have been better off dead than having to spend even a day with a monster like you.”
The tears began to weigh heavily on my lashes, causing them to itch. I raised my head as if to suck the tears back in,
My tone dropped slightly, a little softer than before. “You know, despite knowing that my whole life was about to change for the worse, I still fellt somewhat special knowing that the Lycan King was willing to pay any price just to have me. But I was only being delusional,”
“Someone like you would never feel anything for someone like me. You hate me so much that even after paying fifty million dollars, you can’t fuck me and get me pregnant.” I let out a breath I didn’t realise I was holding.
King Asher’s eyes narrowed, his patience visibly waning. “I don’t have time for your drama tonight, Grinini,” he said, his tone icy and dismissive. He turned on his heel, making his way toward the door.
“You don’t like my drama. I don’t like you or your Kingdom either. Why don’t we put an end to this torture once and for all,”
Desperation clawed at my chest, and I took a step forward, my voice breaking “Please, Asher, just for tonight even if you have to wear a mask. That way, you get your heir and I get my freedom back”
“Or maybe since you struggle to get in bed with a weak wolf like myself, I could hod you a girl good enough to hear you an heir. And then about the manry. I would ask my pack to refund it. that should work too” I added, my heart beating extremely fast as I rushed my words, hoping he would totalder at least one of my options, hoping that my freedom was just a few months away. I just can’t wait to leave this bell and be out of his life for
He paused for a moment, his hack still facing me.

Without a backward glance, he walked out, the door closing behind him with a finality that echoed through the empty room.
The ulence thuat followed was odeafening, amplifying the ache in my heart. I sank to the floor, the weight of his indifference crushing my spirit. Traving me more miserable than I had ever been
My vision blurred for the slightest second and before I could realise what was happening to me, I was already halfway close to the floor. I tried to bold onto something for support, but it was already too late.
