The Alpha King’s Hated Slave Chapter 257
The Alpha King's Hated Slave
Vettaâs steps faltered. Silence descended.
Then, she turned and faced him.
The venom on her face DID make him cringe this time around.
âYou despicable sneaky monster.â She hissed, âitâs always about threats is that it? Always threats. Blackmail. Always.â
He shrugged, unperturbed. âIt does the work better than anything else. Mostly because you know that I am a man of my words.â
âWhile other menâs words are gold, your own word is aluminum.â She crossed her arms, âI will still work out of this door, and let me tell you what will happen. I will go to the King and I will tell him everything. The rat he thinks is dead is not dead. Instead, heâs in a dirty cave craving power.â
âPoor Vetta. You are so so so pathetic. I heard he gave his love to another? After all the sacrificing and everything you did for him, what did you get?â
He was grinning, âHe threw you away like discarded clothes while his heart longs after your sworn enemy. King Cone told you didnât he? Bet he will be rolling in laughter in his grave. Tsk tsk tsk, pathetic.â
Her steps faltered. Pain filled her, her chest felt like it will suffocate. She balled her hands into fists so tight.
âWhy do you keep protecting a man like that, pet? He does not care what happens to you, you know. Why not work for me? I will give you that power you crave so much. At least, if you canât have the man you want more than anything in the world, you can have power.â He came up behind her, âIn that way, you will not loose from all rounds. That will be very unfair to you, pet. I want to help you.â
Vetta went so quiet for so long, Coza began feeling victory in his grasp.
Then, she turned and faced him. Rage masked her always expressive face, along with tears swimming in her eyes.
âMark my words today, Coza. You will die by my hands.â she vowed. âI will kill you by my own hands.â
The amuseness disappeared from his face. Apart from the whóre Vetta, he knows the murderer Vetta really well. âI am offering you a salvation here. You wouldnât.â
She let out an empty laugh, a year slipping from her eyes. âIf you truly think I will not, then you do not know me at all, Monster.â
âWhat if I kill you. Here and now?â
She raised her chin. âSince when do you think I fear death? You of all people can remember how many times I pleaded with you and your monster King to kill me! Get lost, Coza, your threats on my life do not work on me. Never did, never will.â She turned towards the entrance.
âNot even the King finding out you killed his brother?â
âYou, your monster King, and this bitch here killed Declan. Since sheâs working for you, I do not need to think hard to know that she is the hooded figure that slashed Declan with a sword.â
âAnd you delivered the final blow that killed him. Do not think I joke, Vetta. I will make sure Lucien finds out about it. It is a better death for you than anyone you will die by my hands.â
Her steps faltered. Another tear dropped from her eyes.
He walked closer to her from behind. âCan you imagine his reaction? What he will do? A woman he cares about is the one that took the life of the man he protected with his life.
Silence. Tensed silence.
âDid I tell you that I will kill you, Coza?â
âYou said it before.â
She nodded. âI will kill you anyway. And I donât care what you do, Iâm still out.â She took three more steps to the door.
Coza threw in the last card up his sleeve. His ultimate card.
âHow about Killing Danika?â He g*****d.
Vetta stopped. Completely.
She turned from the entrance of the cave and walked towards Coza.
Slowly. Steadily. âDo you know that I hate you more than I will ever hate Danika?â
He shrugged. âBut you still hate her anyway. Donât tell me you havenât fantasized about Killing her. Now, Iâm giving you a chance to cleanly wipe her off the surface of the earth without anybody tracing her death to you. She is all that stands between you and the King.â
Vetta cocked her head to the side and regarded him. âShe is heavily pregnant for him. I know how much he wants that child.â
âHe is a healthy man, he can always birth one with you.â He observed her reaction to know if she has an idea that thereâs a chance that the King is a sterile King.
Vetta was thinking about herself being a barren womà n. But, she wouldnât mind another woman birthing the Kingâs child if he belongs to her. âYouâre right. He can always birth another.â
Coza smiled inwardly. She has no idea. This is his opportunity.
He will use her to eliminate Lucienâs succession so that when he kills Lucien, there will be no one in his way. Itâs also a âkilling two birds with one stoneâ because Mombanaâs throne will be empty too.
The day was suddenly looking too bright to him. âSo, youâre in?â
âTo kill that monsterâs daughter.â She stated, âBut, let us get a few things straight, Coza. I will still kill you anyway, and If I perceive that you plan to harm so much as a hair on King Lucienâs head, I will make sure you die the most horrible death ever. Mark my words.â
âDeal.â He flashed teeth, âLet it be done soon. When will you be able to do it?â
