44. Alekos
Da mn Giselle for putting me in this position in the first place.
“Another mistake, and I will take you to the Blood Lodge.”
Giselle understands fast that she is still the one to take care of the Lair. “Thank you so much, Master Alekos?”
She tries to kiss my right hand to show me how grateful she is, but I jerk it away from her. “You can leave.” I snart in annoyance
because I already told her not to touch me unless I say so.
Giselle stands fast and rushes in the elevator.
I grab the crystal whiskey bottle and refill my glass, then sit at the table. This day has been exhausting. I swirl the glass and
watch the ice cubes move inside the amber liquid
“I don’t know how you can still trust Giselle after what happened with Anne,” Stefan says as he enters the living room.
A few days after my father’s funeral, Zak-my uncle-became the new head of the Raptou family, despite being my birthright, as
Zak is an illegitimate son. He took advantage of my grief and stole some legal papers left by my grandfather together with his
will, and days later, he was the new Oikos-head of the family.
My cousin, Anne, Zak’s daughter, who had been studying in one of the best boarding schools in the world, returned a week after
the funeral and came to see me. I was in the office when Liza let Anne in. Giselle and Brute were in the backyard, but when he
heard an unknown voice in the office, he jumped through an open window and attacked Anne. Giselle was not supposed to have
Brute so close to the office that day, as I was expecting several visits. I pulled Brute off Anne as quickly as possible, but the
damage was already done, Anne had many cosmetic surgeries after that day, but her face will forever be scared.

Giselle had tried to apologize to Anne and her father, but Zak is as vicious as the Dukes. He demanded that he should be the
one to punish Giselle and Brute. As the head of the family, Zak had that right, and I couldn’t say no at that time. Giselle went with
Zak, and a week later, she was returned to me. As for Brute, Zak said he escaped and couldn’t be found .

No matter how much I insisted, Ciselle never
ver said a word about what Zak did to her. I even ordered her to tell me, but she always broke down crying. It was at this
time that I became overprotective of Giselle.
I am sure what Brute did to Anne was an accident, but Stefan has always thought otherwise. Anne has always been sweet and
understanding, and she never blamed Ciselle for the attack. She even pleaded with her father not to harm Giselle.
“Giselle is not to blame for what happened to Anne,” I defend Giselle again.
Stefan shorts, “What about the incident with Emily!”
Giselle was the one to take care of Emily’s meals, and not long after Emily moved in, she got really sick. The doctor told us it
was something she ate. Stefan blamed Giselle, and after, he had been the one to fred Emily.
“Giselle has already been punished for that. When Emily was better, we found out Giselle tampered with Emily’s food.
Reyes enters the living room, Angel in his arms. She looks pale, her eyes puffy and red from crying. Dark purple bruises cover
her knees, making me wince internally. That nunt hut. No wonder Reyes is carrying her. Looking at her knees makes me feel bad
for pushing her so hard, but then I remember her being a lying bit ch, and i

wawe of anger hits me as my demon growl, enraged. “The deal was for you to be our woman. If you think that loose pus sy of
yours will compensate for all the trouble you tried to put us in, think again.”
Pain flashed in her eyes. If only she knew how perfect her pus sy felt, how I fantasized about it all day long, and what I would do
to her.....
She tries to protest, but Stefan cuts her short, “Be grateful you are still alive and still our bonded. I would have killed you not only
for barging inside my room but also for touching the ring that belonged to the love of my life.”
Tears pool inside her eyes, but she looks at us like she hates us. It seems she didn’t learn anything during her punishment.
“I wish to leave,” she insists.
