Chapter 128: Your Offer!
Damon watched when Oriana returned, her eyes were still wet and she looked like a ghost. Her face, her hair, her dress, everything was a mess. It made him wonder had she ever loved his father to be so hurt or she was worried about her future?
He would have been worried too if he had been at her place. He would have been at her place if not for her sister! Olivia! That girl. She would make him crazy.
Her small hints and dreadful words had made him realize, even if he killed his father, he would only be called a tyrant and power would stay in Oriana’s hands.
Even though Leo is small now, he will grow up one day. If he wanted to eliminate future threats, he must kill that child. His eyes instinctively fell on Leo.
The child was holding Olivia’s hand all that time. Though he looked hurt, he was not scared but now that he was standing behind his mother, he looked scared.
Could a child be scared of his own mother? But that was Oriana! Could she be even called a mother?
Damon pushed those thoughts away. He did not care whether she was mother or not. She wasn’t his mother and he did not have any obligation to keep her alive.
Just like he did not have any reason to keep Leo alive. Then why? Why did he not kill him too when his men asked him too?
Why did he not accept the marquis’ offer? The paper was still making a hole in his pocket while he should have burnt it the moment he had received this letter.
