Chapter 44 - Thirty-Eight
LEO
I jolt awake from my blank pace when a basin of cold water is splashed over me mercilessly. The summer is long gone by now and the winter is dangerously nearing through the pouring rain. So, it is quite cold nowadays. Shivers break out all over my soaked body as cold air bites into my skin.
I snap my eyes open, my five senses on their peak as every hair in my body raises in alarm.
"Look, look, my pretty cousin is awake!" James jests as his lackeys enthusiastically cheer at his delighted remark.
"Why are you doing this?" Struggling against the tight binding of rope that is tying me against a wooden chair, I bite out through my gritted teeth, not at all surprised that James is the person who kidnapped me.
I was even wondering why they aren’t making any move. They should’ve done what they are doing right now weeks ago. But why now? I mean do they know about my pregnancy? There is a slim chance of it because only Ruth and I know about this. Or maybe it is just a coincidence? But whatever it is, it clearly was not planned out by his father because if it were then it would be as close as to perfection, not this clumsy.
James seems to have read my inner conclusion, so he elaborates for me as he signals one of his lackeys to bring a chair for him, "You are right my father doesn’t know a thing about this kidnapping. It’s all planned by me. But you are wrong in one thing." He pauses when his goon drags him from chair to seat, "I know you are pregnant and my father is too aware of the matter. And this is the reason I went into all the trouble to drag you here. After all, I can’t bear to look at my little omega bearing someone else’s child and not mine."
I feel my stomach flip as every lewd word enters my ears. "Who is your omega?" My eyes narrow into slits as fury radiates from my aura. "And how did you know that I am pregnant?"
I am genuinely curious about the last question since I really can’t wrap my head around this intel. The only two people who know about my pregnancy are me and Ruth, according to my knowledge. I haven’t even told a soul about that and there is no way Ruth will ever open his mouth even if I tell him to. So, how did these sadistic fucks know about something nobody knows?
