Chapter 182
182-My Secret Hero "Wait!" Sofia ran in front of his son and spread her arms around.
"You cannot punish my son without any proof," she continued to defend Maddox, who seemed a little lost but was keeping his tongue tied.
"But Maddox didn't help Colt escape," I yelled to defend Maddox.
"You shut up! You are the reason my sons are in trouble in the first place." Sofia turned to me and grunted. The anger in her eyes made me close my eyes and swallow the tears.
"If he is not opening up his mouth, then he is guilty," Lord Vasquez said, his fists clenching.
"Step aside, Sofia. How can you still defend him after hearing all of it? Not only did he commit treason, but he also slept with his stepsister and lied to us when they were confronted the last time," Lord Vasquez was finally showing rage.
"The weredragons were the ones that caused so much trouble for us. Out of all the people, he should have known that," Lord Vasquez pointed at Maddox, who seemed clueless of why he should be aware of them.
"If that's what we are talking about now, then you should have known Maddox would sympathize with them," Sofia muttered, not getting out of Lord Vasquez's way.
"I don't care what he did or why he did it. It seems like he fell in love with her and she made him her slave, and this fool followed her command," said Lord Vasquez, getting up from his seat and shouting at Sofia for siding with Maddox.
"Then punish her." Sofia pointed her whole arm in my direction.
My mother instantly came into my sight and blocked me from her angry glares.
"I left my daughter, all pure and innocent, at the mercy of your horny sons. Ask your son why he fucked my innocent daughter." My mom yelled back at Sofia, causing more chaos.
"You daughter—," Sofia was about to yell some slurs my way once again when Akin stood up and approached his mother.
"Stop accusing her. Since we are telling truths today, let's tell each other everything. Beatrice is not at fault for having feelings for Maddox!" Akin's words hurt his father's belief in him.
He watched Akin's face and then gave him a disapproving look.
"You too?" Lord Vasquez sighed.
"It’s not a forbidden relationship. She is his fated mate," Akin yelled once he noticed the eyes on me were quizzical.
Flynn, who had already told everyone that I'm his mate, looked shocked when he found out I'm mates with Maddox too.
"That’s one of the many reasons why she shouldn't be here then," Sofia scoffed. "You cannot just marry her mother and keep her here for your son to please. I'm telling you, she fooled my son with her body and - Sofia was cut short when Lord Vasquez threw the vase at the wall and shattered it into many pieces.
"That's it. You are telling me, so much had been happening behind my back and a little girl controlled every single decision my sons made?" Lord Vasquez pointed at me.
"NO! Please, let's talk in private,' my mother tried speaking to him, but she was so scared of him that she didn't dare come closer to him.
"So that you can fool me like your daughter fooled my sons?" That would be the first time that Lord Vasquez had yelled at my mother.
"This wedding is off!" he declared, causing terror for not only my mom but also guilt for me. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
"Don't say that. We love each other, remember?" Mom begged in a shaky voice.
I watched Varisha hold back her smile. Everything seemed to be going well in their favor.
"I said, it's off. There will be no mating ceremony. In fact, your daughter will get punished for hiding things from me and mating with my son without informing me about them being mates first,' Lord Vasquez yelled as he glared at me in hatred. I was shivering at this point. Akin and Helel looked worried, while Zane stood in the corner of the living room in silence.
"Please, no!" My mom rushed to his feet, but he kicked her away. I had to approach her and drag her to the side. He had lost his mind; no amount of begging or requests would change his decision.
"I'll deal with her, surely, but for now, I'll take care of this one. You were supposed to be my pride, but a little one manipulated you into letting a dangerous creature into our pack and then escaping him. You are not my son anymore,* Lord Vasquez yelled, making everyone gasp and cover their mouths.
"But I didn't help him escape,' said Maddox, who had been silent for some minutes before finally breaking free from whatever shock had left him speechless.
"I heard everything,* Lord Vasquez yelled at his son, trying to get to him, but Sofia wasn' t walking out of his way.
"I'm telling you the truth. I did not help him out.* Maddox looked exhausted when trying to defend himself.
"Then who did it?’ Lord Vasquez didn't believe him until someone else confessed.
"I did,"
The heavy voice shocked us all. We all gasped and turned to look at Helel.
"You! No! I don't believe you." Lord Vasquez didn’t even let Helel admit properly, and I dismissed his confession.
"I did it. I was the one who distracted the guards and then helped Colt escape." Helel looked stern, shocking me.
"You had no reason to commit such a crime,' Lord Vasquez gave an excuse for his favorite set of twins. My heart was doing jumping jacks in my chest, worried for Helel.
"She is the reason!" Helel didn't even hesitate as he pointed his finger at me. "I couldn't see her upset. I wanted to be the hero that would do anything for her." His eyes turned watery when talking about me.
I was shocked.
I didn't know he would go this far to prove to me that he cares about me.
"And you didn't think of your father?" Lord Vasquez's soft whimper was not a good sign, "very well then, you will get the punishment so worse that anyone who would ever dare go against me will shiver at the mere idea of it," Lord Vasquez cleaned up his tears and picked up his phone to call the guards.
