Chapter 311: What is rightfully mine

Chapter 311: What is rightfully mine

Elliana locked her room before she dialed Marcello’s number as soon as she noticed Mr. Marino walking out of the palace.

This was the right time.

She has been looking for this opportunity from the moment she was interrogated by him. To say she was caught off-guard today would be an understatement.

Well, all the good things have to end one day or the other, no?

"To what honor -"

"Leave that place," Elliana didn’t waste a single second in speaking, and Marcello paused for a few seconds before he took a deep breath.

He immediately understood something serious had happened.

"What happened?" He asked, and she sighed.

"The scent-hiding spray has reached the royals. What the hell were your men doing when this was happening? Abort the production of any new spray bottles," Elliana took a deep breath.

"The composition of a new drug will be ready by the end of this week, so don’t produce any new bottles anymore. For the ones that have been produced already, I want you to give two bottles to everyone on my team. I will pay you for that. Take two yourself. Hide the remaining 40 bottles," she added.

He stood there rooted to his place as he heard her orders.

Marcello couldn’t believe her sudden decision.

And she was buying 64 bottles herself? Does she not know how much one bottle costs? And though she would get the discount of being the inventor of the product with the deduction of her share, it was still expensive.

"Do you know how much loss we will have to suffer? We have 20 consignments pending. The vampires have started to know more about the scent and -"

"And probably that’s where you fucking messed up. Don’t you understand the severity of the situation? Everyone wasn’t supposed to know! They would be coming for you because you hold the reign over the black market. They’ll be searching up the Moon City soon. I have a strong feeling about it. So I want you to leave that place so that you don’t risk those rogue’s lives," Elliana took a deep breath.

"Just pack your bags and leave the place in the next fifteen minutes. Spray yourselves from head to toe. Let me see if I can find a place for you somewhere. Till then, you can go to the human kingdom.

Because of your absence of vampire scent, no one will suspect you, and you better control your glands and instincts near blood," Elliana said before she ended the call.

She made a mistake. It was long after Mr. Marino investigated her that the thought came to her mind. While putting Marcello on the spot to have some fun, she really indirectly revealed that she knows the leader of the black market.

Mr. Marino wasn’t the most cunning and dangerous prince for nothing, and while Mr. Stephano wasn’t given enough credit, he was quite cunning too.

They won’t take two minutes to find everything about her. It would be easy for them, especially when she has been making so many mistakes these days and her women’s team is becoming wishful too.

She knew sooner or later her truth would come out eventually. However, she still expected that she would get to maintain it at least before he leaves her for good.

Elliana sprawled herself on the bed, thinking about all the people she could ask for help to hide Marcello. She didn’t want him to get caught yet. She can’t afford that.

On the day of the ball, she wanted him to take Mr. Marino’s side in front of everyone, but most importantly, she wanted him to stay hidden until she got her story sorted as to what she was doing with the royals without revealing she was married to one.

’Uhhhhhh! Why is Everything so complicated when it comes to me?’ Elliana groaned.

Meanwhile, somewhere near the vampire Kingdom, two ladies sat inside the booth across from each other.

"So? Is that how you are planning to do it? Don’t get me wrong, but I don’t really fancy the idea. I have mixed feelings about it," The woman said, and the lady in front of her scoffed.

"What mixed feelings do you have? And why is it wrong?" The second woman asked.

"Well, how do I say it? I just don’t like how you are deceiving her. Come to think of it, she saved your life, didn’t she?" The woman asked, and the second woman chuckled.

"She saved my life? It was all in the plans from the beginning. Do you think it has been easy for me? To pretend to be mute and dumb when you are not?

It took me two years to build that kind of trust around her. And what is wrong with what I am thinking? Am I stealing something from her? Am I planning to kill her? I am here to take what is rightfully mine. It was the plan from the very beginning," the second woman said.

The other woman took a deep breath.

"I don’t know, okay? It just breaks my heart to think how Elliana would react to us deceiving her. She has treated all of us equally and -"

"And that’s the reason she is still breathing. Don’t try to guilt-trick me. You and I both know that it was decided way before she saved any of us. It’s her destiny. It’s not my fault that she has been cursed to never have a proper love life. I am doing everything I can for her, but there is a limit to it, and I am reaching that limit.

Besides, I am not even a vampire. Why should I even bother with it? Do you think it has been easy for me to pretend to live like a vampire when I am a siren? All I want is my powers back to me. The powers I had lent to her before I died," The second woman said.

The other woman took a deep breath as she looked at the lady in front of her.

It was a twisted game that began two years ago, or did it begin 19 years ago? Though what the woman in front of her was saying was kind of true, she still didn’t want the girl who had been anything but good to them, to get hurt.

"Do whatever you want, but when the guilt will get to you, don’t come running for me. Because at that time, I would be standing with Elliana," the lady stood from her place.

The second lady kept sitting there.

After a few minutes, she walked out and looked at the sky before smirking.

"What a tyranny. Now I have to think twice before getting what is mine. Why should someone’s life be more important to me?

They think I am the villain, but they don’t understand if I don’t take back my powers, she will have the world coming for her, and she, who doesn’t have any idea and trusts everyone so easily, will fall and crumble in a way she won’t be able to get over it ever," the lady sighed before she hailed the cab, going back to pretending to be mute as she hid her face behind the veil.

As she sat in the cab, her gaze fell on a group of three people walking towards the market, and her gaze darkened as her pupils dilated.

Sirens? What were they doing here? Her eyes widened as she leaned back to hide herself even more.

No. She doesn’t have too much time. She will have to do everything soon. Elliana has already matured, and though she might die, this was only good for her in the end.
