Chapter 211: Coming to his senses (3)
"I’m afraid I cannot help you with this. There was once a time when you suggested that I keep Selene as my wife and take Cassandra as my mistress. Now, you have this great interest in Selene," said Gabriel.
Gabriel didn’t like how obsessed Darius had become. He didn’t realise it was to this degree.
Darius laughed at Gabriel suddenly wanting to step up and act like this was wrong. "You have been in the palace long enough to know that I wanted her. I have made that clear the few times that we spoke. I gave you that advice when you were still married to her."
In Darius’s eyes, Gabriel didn’t have any place to tell him what to do concerning Selene.
"Be careful now, Gabriel. I am the man who makes the order if you will lead the town guards or if you become a servant in the palace. Will you let the woman you believed killed your mother get in the way of what you want? There’s no coming back after this," Darius warned Gabriel.
Gabriel didn’t like the options he was given. Not only did Darius speak of handing over Cassandra but now he also had to stay quiet concerning Selene.
Gabriel still hated Selene but it didn’t sit well with him what Gabriel wanted to do. There was a lot left for him to figure out concerning Selene like if her maid had truly attacked Cassandra or if Selene was behind the attack responsible for his mother’s death.
