Chapter 213: Maybe yes
Cedric felt her rage at his words and it puzzled him more. He did not understand what was going on at all and felt there might be a misunderstanding somewhere.
"You make it believable like you have no idea what I am talking about." Abrielle hissed at him, it was getting harder to keep a straight face at him.
"Maybe it is that way because I honestly don’t know what you are talking about." It was the truth, he did not write to Callista. He only wrote to Kaiden and Abrielle; now, miraculously, his letter never got to Abrielle and mysteriously got into the hand of Callista.
She didn’t believe in the slightest bit. She judged him based on prejudice and how she knew his character, Cedric von Drakkar.
"This is not a cause for a fight Cedric. It has always been my cross to carry. There will always be a Sapphire or Callista, and I won’t stop you from doing you as long as you don’t bother me. It is a simple agreement." She said with a firm tone honestly sick of this argument. It is really draining on her brain.
His grip tightened, causing her heart to skip a beat, but she held her place. She was being daring, arguing in his arms, but why would he care what she thought about his affair? In the same way,, he should not be vindictive towards her. There was nothing between her and Alfonso, but she had a feeling Alfonso was not going to make things easy for her, and she was going to be seen as his mistress for a while.
She just had to find a way to handle the situation because denying it wouldn’t help. He would not believe her, and she could not make it known to many her involvement with the fire. Only if the princess knew Cedric had already had a guess did she start the fire.
Cedric pulled her closer to his chest. She could feel his abs against her skin despite the sheer barricade of her clothes and night dress. He went rigid and was supposedly angry. Abrielle felt a heavy tension in the air, Cedric was trying so hard not to explode.
Why was he even angry in the first place? She would have scoffed if not for the situation she was in. "What did you say?" He said, his tone was calm, too calm. She felt goosebumps on her skin.
She nervously gulped, her lips grew too heavy to speak since she spoke. She had to let him know her stand, this was important for her survival.
"What I am trying to say is that you can get a second wife. I won’t be able to give you anything except my family’s support. My womb is damaged and I can’t stand in between..." The rest of her words turned into a yelp, Cedric suddenly flipped her over the bed while he crawled over her.
His face was calm but his eyes were burning. It seemed like there was an inferno there that wanted to consume her. He placed his hands on both sides, caging her underneath him.
