Chapter 371: Everything ended for her

"Stepmother, if you don’t leave me now, I can’t promise what happens next will be in your favor," Elliana tried once again, her hands trembling with fear and disgust.

"Yeah, what would you do? Complain to that leech? And what will he be able to do? Do you think he will kill the sister of the human emperor? I will ask you one last time. Will you help us by stealing information from that leech Prince’s office or not?" Marla asked, placing the stick between her legs and a sob left Elliana’s mouth.

This was exactly what her stepmother wanted from her and it was the main reason she singled her out from the vampires. So she could ask her to betray her husband for them.

First, it was Madeline, and now it was her stepmother.

She wondered if the council head was also involved in this. Did Aditya know? But then again, did it really matter?

Why was everyone hell-bent on making her betray that one person who loved and cared for her more than anyone in the entire human kingdom?

She wouldn’t be able to do it even if Marla killed her today. She wouldn’t be able to betray her heart, betray the person she loves so much and we bear all this for.

"I won’t," Elliana gritted her teeth.

"You won’t help us? You won’t help the kingdom and members who fed you for 12 long years, you dirty piece of whore. Useless slut!" Marla turned Elliana’s body and was about to slap her when she remembered she shouldn’t do anything that would be visible to the eyes directly.

Marla gritted her teeth.

"Don’t test my patience, Elliana. Today I am really not in the mood to take your tantrums. Just agree to the arrangement and we all can save each other some pain," Marla looked at her with pure animosity, but Elliana shook her head again.

No matter how many times Marla threatened her, she won’t give up. Not today, not when it came down to her Mr. Marino.

"You won’t? Fine. I was thinking of going easy on you and not doing it since I still had some humanity left inside me. But now that the worthless whore you are has denied helping the hand that fed her for so long, I am left with no choice," Marla seethed through her teeth.

Elliana wanted to retort with how they didn’t feed her for free and she used to take so many punishments for Madeline, and how they always berated her even after that. They made her a living punching bag for the entire family and used to treat her worse than a slave, making her do all the chores.

She wanted to retort with how she spent more than a year in that cruelest Malevolent prison all because of them when she wasn’t even at fault.

They didn’t feed her for free and she wasn’t the worthless whore they claimed her to be. However, before Elliana could open her mouth, Marla pulled her panties down, ready to do what Elliana had been afraid of since half an hour ago.

Something snapped inside Elliana. It was as if the last thread of control had snapped and she closed her eyes.

Her body started shaking before she took a deep breath.

"Leave me alone!"

Elliana growled loudly, the sudden energy that radiated inside her throwing Marla away from her.

Marla looked at the girl, her face not masking the horror and shock she felt.

This... This girl... How could she... This energy... She couldn’t wrap her thoughts as she looked at Elliana.

"I... What did I ever do to you for you to act so inhumanely with me?" Elliana stood from the bed, her legs almost giving up because of her being bent at the wrong angle for so long.

She held the side of the bed, managing to keep standing as she looked at Marla with a sense of deep hatred she had never felt before.

This resentment wasn’t just for Marla or Madeline, but for her father too who never saw this ugly side of his wife and trusted his so-called precious princess to this ugly woman.

Elliana fell on the ground before she stood again, not wanting to give up today.

She was ready to fight back today, fight back with everything she was left with. She was ready to sever all the ties with this family that was never hers in the first place.

"You-" Marla started but Elliana raised her hand, the energy and vibes she was oozing, clogging Marla’s throat, rendering her unable to speak.

Hot tears spilled from her ears as she shook her head.

"Shut up. Shut the fuck up, you ugly woman with the demoness character! I have never cursed anyone in my entire life. I wasn’t built this way, but you," Elliana fell to her knees, crying loudly.

"You and your daughter broke me today. Why..." Elliana placed her face in her hands as she cried, the emotions she had been feeling since earlier coming to her in large waves of sadness and anger.

"Aaaaaaaaaa!!!" Elliana raised her head towards the ceiling and screamed as loud as she could, breaking the glass of the windows and the vases around her.

The invisible energy of her sadness left her mouth and heart, reaching the environment as Circe did their best to hide her powers, but they couldn’t control the rain that followed her cries.

Marla’s eyes widened at the unbeatable energy in front of her and the hair on her neck rose while Elliana cried loudly.

Marla didn’t want to agree, but even her heart ached for the girl in front of her. The realization dawned upon her.

What was she trying to do with her? Marla’s hands trembled as the stick slipped from her hands.

Pat. Pat. Pat.

The stick bounced on the ground before resting near her legs and Marla looked at the girl in horror, disbelief in her eyes.

"Elliana, I -"

She realized her mistake. She crossed a limit today that even she didn’t know she was crossing until now.

"You’re the pain, I will never forget. You’re the fear that follows me to the dark and haunts my nights. Hide it. That’s what you always wanted me to do. Hide everything you do to me so you never get caught, no?" Elliana chuckled a deep throaty chuckle that even made Circe pity the girl.

Elliana bent and grabbed the sharp end of the stick and sliced her arms from up to down, making Marla look at the girl in horror, as drops of blood started falling on the ground one after the other.

"You didn’t want anyone to know what you did to me, no?" Elliana chuckled darkly, grabbing the front of her dress and yanking it forward, tearing it slightly. She pulled her sleeves, letting them hang through thin threads.

Her hand moved to her skirt next as she tore it.

"Earlier, you stopped. You stopped yourself from slapping me because you were afraid everyone would know, right?" Elliana slapped herself, whipping her head to the side, and if that wasn’t enough, she sliced her right cheek, letting blood drip from her jaws.

It was calming her. This physical pain was relieving the emotional pain in her heart.

Circe winced inside her, ’Princess -’

Elliana chuckled, stopping her powers from speaking anything.

"A little sympathy was all I wanted from you guys. A sympathy for a girl who wasn’t at fault. I didn’t choose to be born, yet I was the one who always got the backlash of being the illegitimate daughter, no? How inhumane you could be, you proved to me today," Elliana chuckled through her tears before smiling sadly, tasting a mixture of her salty tears and blood.

"This is all that you needed from me. You wanted to hurt me. Congratulations, Queen Marla, you won. I lost. Your daughter won, and I lost terribly. I lost the little hope I had in humans and my father today. I lost everything," Elliana turned around and grabbed her clutch.

Meanwhile, a couple of kilometers away from the palace, Sebastian’s eyes glinted coldly.

"Prince Sebastian is everything -"

"My wife. That was my wife’s scream. She isn’t alright. You- is she getting bullied in her own home?" Sebastian asked King James who froze in his place.

No. Marla and Madeline wouldn’t be stupid enough to try something like that when she is just visiting for -

"If anything happened to my wife -" Sebastian’s eyes started to turn black.

Lucas’s eyes immediately turned red as he felt his prince’s anger channeling into his body because of the active link.

The subordinate fell to his knees, looking at his shaking prince who didn’t waste a second in rushing to the palace at the speed of light.

’Ambrose, control the prince before he does something that both the kingdoms will regret,’ Lucas warned Ambrose who immediately turned to the door, but before he could even move a limb, he felt a swoosh of air as the prince ran by his side before he could blink his eyes.

Elliana opened the door of the room and started running towards the stairs. She descended the stairs, wanting to run away from this place and never return.

This wasn’t her home. This was her hell.

As soon as she reached the bottom of the stairs, she bumped into someone and stumbled backward.

However, before she could land on the ground, a hand grabbed hers and secured her in place.

She didn’t look up to see who saved her.

"Thank you -" She moved around Sebastian who was rendered shocked at her condition.

"Prin-" Sebastian turned around, ready to grab her hand, but to his surprise, rather than stopping for him, she ran towards the exit of the palace where Lucas was entering.

Lucas looked at the condition his princess was in and his eyes teared up, a small snarl leaving his throat.

"Princess -" He covered the rest of the distance, looking upstairs at the lady who was walking out of the room.

He quickly took off his coat and draped it over his princess’s shoulders.

"Take me away, please. I can’t face anyone right now. I can’t meet your prince looking like this. Take me away from here," Elliana whispered to Lucas, grabbing his wrist before she fell to her knees right at the moment Aditya and Madeline walked to the gates of the palace, looking at the scene in horror.
