Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 274

Chapter 274: Build the love

Zilia ended up waking up late and hurried for a bath. Once done, she got ready and reached downstairs only to find from a maid that Casaio had already gone to the palace.

"I see."

"Madam, I’ll set breakfast for you," the maid said politely.

"Thank you," Zilia replied and watched her leave. She returned to the bedroom and checked her phone, thinking Casaio might have left a message on it.

However, there was none. Though Idris’ message made her smile. Lowering her hand, she headed to the dining room.

After having her breakfast in quiet, Zilia thanked the maids and went outside toward the pool area. She lowered herself into the chair in a relaxed posture.

She was pulled out of her thoughts when her phone buzzed. It was an unknown number, so she was hesitating a bit to answer it. The past memories, where she used to get such calls, made her shiver. What if her former master was the one making someone call? Cold sweat formed on her nape and forehead.

Finally, Zilia answered the call and brought the phone to her ear.

"Hello," she answered in a trembling voice.

"Hi! It’s me, Amelie," came a soft voice from the other side.

"Amelie?" Zilia was surprised to get a call from her.

"Yes. I took your number from Brother Casaio. I wanted to ask about Idris. I heard that he’s admitted to a school," Amelie stated.

"Idris is doing fine. Yes, he’s in the school now. Thank you, Amelie, for not making my brother feel alone. I truly mean it," Zilia expressed her gratitude.

"I wish I could do more for him. But we couldn’t stay long in the palace," Amelie murmured, missing Idris around her. They used to play games, do paintings, or watch TV together.

"Whatever you did was more than enough, Amelie. I’m truly grateful. I’ll send you Idris’s number. You can talk to him whenever you want," Zilia opined.

"That would be wonderful. Thank you."

Then, an awkward silence prevailed over them for a few seconds.

"I hope things are now going well between you and Brother Casaio," said Amelie.

"I don’t know what’s in Casaio’s mind anymore. I betrayed him. He’s heartbroken, and I’ve no idea how to turn everything right between us. I don’t even know if I deserve him. I want to push myself away, but he’s not ready to leave me."

Zilia had no one around her to share things with. Now, Amelie was the only person on whom she could trust even with closed eyes.

"Maybe you should forget what happened in the past," Amelie suggested. "Indeed, what you did was worse. Brother Casaio had a lot of faith in his love. But given your circumstances, I think it must be difficult to choose between a man you love and the brother you had to protect. You’ve got your own struggles to deal with. It was no easy feat."

Zilia keenly listened to her, accepting that Amelie was right.
