Chapter 224
I was taking a stroll through the garde’s after Ivy left, when I saw a couple of binds hovering around a particular tree
watched them chirp between themselves, fascinated by their chemistry
It seemed like they were discussing something important.
The seamlessness of it all, Isad me grinning from ear to ea
Clear communication with no room for misinterpretation.
Only if everyone else could be like the birds.
With great difficulty. I moved my eyes away from them, and resumed my walk.
I couldn’t deny the fact I was still plagued by everything Ivy had said to me.
A part of me dwelled on the possibility of a misinterpreted falsehood.
The more I thought about how convenient that letter had availed itself from my father to me, the more suspicious I grew
But could my father have forged such a letter just to get me to stay away from Ramon, and marry alpha Liam instead?
To what end? I mean I understood the fact he didn’t like Ramon. But didn’t he think his lies would come to light eventually?
I shook my head in confusion as I walked. I wanted to believe my father was incapable of something so low and dirty

But the more I thought about it, the more I saw why he would behave so cruelly.
The fact he hadn’t looked for me yet was another factor.
I hated questioning the love of my father. But a deep dive made me see how everything he had shown me so far couldn’t be described as love.
It was more like an overcompensation for his shortcomings.
He couldn’t save the wo
woman he loved, I looked like the woman he loved, therefore he thought he ought to

to protect me out of principle. But therein lies the problem. Who claimed to be a protector, yet hadn’t bothered to look for the daughter he saw his wife through? Nothing made sense to me. The more I
I thought things through, the more confused I got.
I was about to take a break on a benchi I spotted ahead of me, when I suddenly felt a presence behind me.
I whirled around swiftly, and came face to face with Seth
“Sell” My eyes widened as I stared at him right in front of me.
“If 1 didn’t love you so much, I would be dragging you back to Silverpaw this his eyes went down to my stomach, and his words faded.
*Seil, I promise I can ex-“I also paused halfway.
This was the reason I left Silverpaw in the first place. Always having to
to explain myself wasn’t the least bit fun
For note, I wanted everyone to explain themselves to me.
I cleared my throat, and put on a brave face.
“How are you
there, right now? Who told you I was here?” I asked bravely.
“I followed Jed because he was acting suspicious. I’ve been following him for a while. Twice following Jim led me here. At first I thought he was hiding the princess he got pregnant liere. Only to hand out it’s you!”

Don’t talk to me in that judgemental tour” I said in a defensive voice
“Then tell
here, and why you’re pregnant”
What do you mean be your last question? Why does anyone get pregnant?” i fred back.
“Well yesère not anyone. You’re the sister I’ve looked out for since she was in the womb”.
“Well Tim sorry you felt entitled to know everything about me. I didn’t know you’re some sort of god I’m supposed to bare my soul to.”
1 knew I was being defensive and also hurtful. I just couldn’t stop nwself.
My thought was it ended things brusquely first, I wouldn’t suffer the harsh scrutiny of his disgusted gare, and words
“oh you an get detensive, and annoying all you want. I’m not leaving until you tell me what the hell is happening.”
1 sent him a deadly glare, but he didny back down
He lifted his brow, daring me to
to ignore him.
With a sigh of resignation. I yielded. “Fine. Come with ine, and Ill tell
you everything”
Few minutes later, we were seated on the porch in front of the house, talking,
I told him everything that happened, and he listened attentively without interrupting me.
1 had missed Seth a lot. if i was to be honest.
As close as Jed and I had gotten recently, it still was
is nothing in comparison to the bond Seth and I had grown
I grown over the years.
you’re carrying Ramon’s child and he doesn’t know, but he does know Lorena’s child is apparently not his because by told you?” he asked.
I smiled because he had summed it up perfectly well
“I think that covers it”
“What do you plan on doing now? You’ll just have this child, and take care of it on your own?”
“Yes,” I shrugged. “Why not? Don’t you think I can do it?”
“Sonia, I still see you as a child. You can’t raise a baby on your own.
“I definitely can!” I argued fiercely.
“Fine. But why don’t you want Ramon to know about his child? Don’t you think he deserves to know?”
“Same reason father has refused to look for me, even though he’s well aware of the fact that I’m missing. I guess we can’t just question the decisions of parents, right?”
“Sonia,” he called
“What It’s true. Jed told me he has been highly indiferent. What kind of father has that? I’m questioning a lot of things, Seth. The novelty of father is wearing off in my mind”
He didn’t say anything. I guess I had backed him into a comer. Maybe he also had such thoughts.
“Seth?” I called his name to get his attention.
“Do you think father is capable of forging the
ng the letter that was allegedly stolen by the spy?”
He sighed, and that was all the answers I needed.
“I can’t tell you what father did or didn’t do. But what I can say is that I’m worried about you. You should have never hidden this from me. I understand why you did, but it’s me, Sonia”

He was trying to switch the conversation. Which made me even believe more that father was capable of acting in such a despicable way.
“Well I did it and I hold no regrets. I’ve been very happy Jed has helped me a lot too. And now that you know, if you choose to help me, then I welcome your help. But no one’s going to control my life anymore, Seth. Not my brothers, and definitely not father. Is that understood!”
He threw his hands up in surrender, and smiled
“Great.” I nodded, proud of myself.
