Dark Revenge Of An Unwanted Wife The Twins Are Not Yours novel Chapter 326

Chapter 326: Objections II

"Do you see it, Cedric? Tell me, you see it!" Victoria screamed, finally succeeding in flinging her arm away from Cedric’s strong hand—or rather, the latter just loosened his grip on her.

She knew that a mark would blossom there on the morrow, but she was too incensed to think about it now. Instead, she started pacing outside the house, not minding the guards around the compound were watching her.

"That woman has a sinister plan, Cedric. I told you, but you wouldn’t listen! Talking about..." She paused when she looked up and noticed that Cedric was not with her. Had he returned to the dining room without her?

The opening of the gates, however, alerted her that he didn’t; he was rather going home.

"Where are you going, Cedric! Are you just going to give up like that?!!"

Damn idiot! She cursed, flinging her arm bag over her shoulder and stamping across the compound, half running when she heard Cedric start the engine of the car. She wouldn’t put it past him to drive off and leave her here. After all, he had done worse.

If not for her ambitions, she cursed, opening the car door. What would she be doing with such an irrational man who didn’t know when and how to fight for his rights?!

"Cedric, how can..."

The slap that connected with her cheek and nose was enough to blind her momentarily, to wheeze out whatever it was she wanted to say from her mouth and from her brain.

Victoria cupped her cheeks with her two hands, feeling it sting, feeling her nose bleed. Was it a punch? She was too engrossed in the pain to notice or think. She bowed her head, but it only served to increase the sudden headaches assailing her.

"Are you stupid? Why are you bent on destroying everything I’m building?!" As Cedric screamed, he wound up the glass, making them unseen from anyone outside—he wasn’t about to take another risk, to give his grand-uncle another reason to adopt another stray.

"What is wrong with you!" As he spewed the question, he pounded on her back with his fists, making Victoria gnash her teeth in pain.

When she could no longer take the beating, she howled out, not even stopping when Cedric pulled her roughly by the hair, forcing her to stare at him.

"You are the worst of the girlfriends I’ve had. Don’t you know how to keep your head down and be a submissive bitch?! Didn’t you learn anything from last time? Didn’t you see that he is already besotted with Athena, and that doing stuff to antagonize her is only spoiling my chances with him, huh? You idiot!"

Using his left hand to hold her hair, he used the right one to slap her cheek again, not moved by the blood trailing her nose. "You know what, we are done!"

Victoria’s eyes, which had become meek and calm, immediately flared up with defiance again. "You can’t be serious. Your mother won’t be happy with it," She spoke, albeit calmly, not wanting to provoke another round of beating. Her body was already going through enough as it was.

"My mother can go to hell!"

"She’s not going there anytime soon, Cedric, and I’m the only of your girlfriends she has approved of, so I think we should work through our differences and find a way to deal with Athena and her stupid children once and for all. That way, everyone wins."

Cedric pursed his lips, staring at Victoria distastefully. He could see why his mother had chosen her. She was cold enough to survive in their dysfunctional family.

"Work our differences, huh..." He muttered, letting her face go. "Then do the necessary," He tapped the bulge visible on his trousers. He had gotten hard while beating her, as usual. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"As you wish, love," Victoria said with a sweet smile, wiping off the bloody trail around her nose, her hands stretching to zip the fly of his trousers.

"I’ll give you the orgasm of your life," She added, her head going down to do the needful, while biting down the urge to pierce his neck with the pin she used to hold up her hair.

Meanwhile, back at the Thorne’s dining table, things were returning to normal, with Florence asking if anyone wanted more food, and Chelsea, with Gianna, rising to the occasion, cracking jokes with the older woman about food; the latter who was so pleased with their presence.

Antonio concentrated on his food, or instead, on the twins. Athena caught him watching and asked why.

He shrugged. "Just pleased that my children have become more wealthy,"

He chuckled, shaking his head. "So, when are you going to accept the invitation to be his daughter? You know what that means, huh? The power and wealth..."

Athena frowned. "I’m not interested in those."

It was Antonio’s turn to frown. "What do you mean you’re not interested? If you’re not, why then did you let him adopt the kids? You didn’t know what that entailed..."

"It’s what they wanted."

"Then I’m sure they would want you to be part of the family too... he can be a father figure, you know..."

Athena’s frown deepened. What was her friend talking about? Was he that dismissive of Old Mr. Thorne’s presence? "Antonio, I think it’s time you left. Didn’t you mention some meeting you have tomorrow?"

Antonio’s jaw slackened for a second and then tightened again. "You chasing your boyfriend away? The father of your children?"
