Chapter 38
You were paid to do what? Kill my baby. Paid by who?
1 asked in a rush, staring at the man who had gotten to his knees, both hands together in a pleading way and sheer fear in his
Cyrs
He took deep breaths, blinking in confusion, and his eyes flicked through every corner of the hospital as if he were scared of someone coming for him if he spoke.
“Are you deaf?!! Who paid you to kill my child? And how? I thought it was a miscarriage. Wait, Selene paid you to kill the child. I asked with widened eyes, my heart racing as I hoped for a negative answer.
Even with the evidence that the vampire king’s son had instructed Selene to kill the child, I still somehow don’t want to believe that.
“Huh?” The doctor was stunned at my question, his brows arching “Selene can’t pay to get her own child killed.”
What he said made me feel a pang in my heart–a pang of guilt. I just believed a lie. If Selene didn’t pay to kill the child, then someone else did and pinned the blame on her. I believed Selene could kill my child, our child.
Il me who did: Who paid you. motherfucker?“I roared, and his breath became faster. He stood up and begged me to go
an office.
“Please, let’s go somewhere. Maybe an office, so I’ll tell you the whole truth. Please. He begged, and I didn’t hesitate to agree. I was too eager to know the truth and was ready to do as he said, not knowing it was a trick. It was something I shouldn’t have succumbed to.
“Now let’s go to your office! You all should get back to work!” I commanded as we walked over to his office.
Just as we were about to enter the office, my phone rang. I ignored her, and we both entered. After it rang the first time, it ended and began again, forcing me to check who it was.
I was surprised to see that it was one of the border guards. I didn’t expect his call, and there was nothing that should cause him to call me unless it was something really important–something I should never miss.
“What is it?” I asked gruffly while gesturing at the head doctor to sit
“Please, we need your order now. Tell us what to do to her. She is here and wants to meet you. Should we kill her off?” His voice came from the other end.
“Huh? Who is that? Who are you talking about?” I asked, my voice rolling out quickly and curiously.
“Selene. She is here.” He said, and my heart skipped beat with a rush of excitement running down my spine. I was so happy that she was coming back at last. Now that I had found out she wasn’t the killer, She didn’t kill the child.
Even if she had any relationship with the vampire king, it didn’t push her into killing my innocent baby. Someone else paid this doctor to do it
“Tell her to come in. No one should touch her or dare harm her in the slightest way, or I will crush that person.” I shouted on the phone.
“She refused to come in either and said she wanted to see you first. She wants you to come over quick so you can talk. She had refused to tell us what she wanted or why she wouldn’t be stepping in L…
“Shut
up and tell her I am on my way now! Don’t you ever allow her to leave, or I will deal with you mercilessly!” I yelled at him and hung up the call. I even forgot about the head doctor or whatever questions I had to ask him. Nothing else

mattered more than Selene at that moment, and I don’t know why.
I don’t even know if I was going out there to bring her back, ignoring everything else, including Ria, for whom I had promised marriage. My love for Selene wasn’t fading at all. Even when I thought it was all gone, it would always spark, as if it had been hiding itself all this time.
“Before you leave, hear me out.” The doctor said something, but I didn’t even act like he said anything.
“Hear me out. Your baby is not dead. I didn’t succeed in killing it. The blood was just a wound in the womb that didn’t affect the baby. I lied to her, saying that the baby is dead, so my client will think I succeeded and pay me up my balance.”
I was outside the doctor when he said all these, and I almost fell to my knees. My joy was beyond bounds. I began to run instead of walking quickly. Everything was coming back to me. All I thought I had lost was returning, like it was giving me a second chance to make it right.
My child is not dead: Selene is waiting for me out there. I didn’t think straight earlier to think she could kill our baby. The doctor was even shocked when I asked if she was the one who paid to get the baby killed.
Someone is the real enemy that I wasn’t seeing. Something isn’t right, and the best I should do is keep Selene close to me while trying to find the enemy because it can’t be her. She might also be stuck, getting manipulated and forced to stay shut.
1 should help her instead of pushing her away. After all, we are mated to be together, and that is what we should be fighting
eep.
After speeding my way all alone to the border, what I saw left me speechless. The dead bodies of the guards were scattered everywhere, including those of the man who called me. I shuddered, roaming my eyes around in disbelief.
What happened?
I muttered under my breath, and as I looked around, my eyes caught a paper placed on the body of the man who just called
me
As I took it and opened it, I saw it was a letter, and it was indicating that it was from Selene,
“You thought I was coming back to you? Fool! I just distracted you from finding out the truth. I’m happy you fell for it. It’st gone now, loser! I will not rest till I end you!”
I read every line one after the other, repeating it with my face contorted. What is gone?” I asked myself and immediately remembered that there was someone who had yet to tell me something. I mean the head doctor.
With
great speed, I ran back and got to the hospital. I entered the office where I left him, and there he was lying in the pool of his own blood, dead.
What!
Is that what the letter meant? And… did it just indicate that Selene killed him? Wait, she tricked me into losing the truth. She doesn’t want me to hear from the doctor, and yet the doctor said she wasn’t the one who paid him.
Could she be working with those people secretly, or is all this another stunt pulled to make me believe Selene is evil? Even if she is among them, there was a controller. They are a crew with many living in this kingdom because how did the doctor get killed?
All I did that day to fish out the killer was futile. The fellow doctors I had called out with him denied ever getting close to the office, and even my threat of death couldn’t let them say anything, and I knew they were all sincere.
As usual, the camera caught nothing about it. That was how I was left confused again, unsure who to trust and believe. Ria returned and tried all she could to make me tell her why I was bothered, but I couldn’t.

I was in love with Selene, and I knew it. The love had refused to go, and it was bothering me because I was aware of how dangerous it was, knowing Selene was evil. Even if she isn’t actually evil, she is working with them. I had to get myself into making this stamp in my heart.
She has to leave my head forever while I live my life without her. It was my silly obsession with her that made me ignore the doctor when he told me to hear him out. It was as if he knew he would be killed and that I was just being lured out of the
way.
I didn’t think straight just at the mention of Selene. It was like a drug that I was addicted to and didn’t even realize until it was placed in front of me. The way I was running like a madman to meet her would make anybody think she was the love of my life.
had chosen the vampire prince over me a long time ago–couldn’t
The fact that the truth was glaring in my eyes–that she even make me realize she could never just come back to the kingdom to meet me.
I was lured out by her just so one of her colleagues would kill off the doctor and hide the truth.
But the doctor said my baby is alive.
Does it mean she took my baby away to stay with the vampire prince?
Fuck!
am I even sure the doctor wasn’t lying in that part?
Everything was just getting messed up, boggling my head and leaving me more drained and befuddled. This was why I hated love so much. It takes away your sense of reasoning and leaves you stupid until you are consumed.
As I laid on my bed that night in a different room from Ria, I just couldn’t sleep. One part of me was yelling at me to get Selene back and talk to her face–to–face. That part was trying to make me see that anything can be made up against anyone and that Selene might be totally innocent.
Another part was bringing up all the evidence that pointed Selene out as an evil girl, especially that she left immediately. I sent her off and went into the arms of the vampire prince, which my men saw clearly.
I was just left speechless and awestruck, not knowing what to do.
Maybe it was time I pushed even Ria out of my life and faced my purpose in life, which was to rule my people. I should just lock my heart and become that monster again who doesn’t care about anyone.
Just maybe I should kill that plan of becoming normal again, because it was mainly me being soft and vulnerable to destruction. If someone can sneak into a hospital in this kingdom and kill anyone with no trace, then I am failing as the leader.
My men out there on the border were also killed like animals, and I had no idea who it was or how.
For real, I was failing, and it started out of this distraction that love caused. I caused myself all this. I am the one to be blamed for it.
There’s no one else, and that’s because of love.
I think it’s over. It’s time to keep them away. I will call off whatever marriage Ria has and put her brother to work as a guard at the border, keeping him away from nie so he doesn’t pester me about his sister.
Tomorrow, the cold, heartless side of me will begin, and this time, there will be no space for weakness.
