Dark Revenge Of An Unwanted Wife: The Twins Are Not Yours!

Chapter 326: Objections II

"Do you see it, Cedric? Tell me, you see it!" Victoria screamed, finally succeeding in flinging her arm away from Cedric’s strong hand—or rather, the latter just loosened his grip on her.

She knew that a mark would blossom there on the morrow, but she was too incensed to think about it now. Instead, she started pacing outside the house, not minding the guards around the compound were watching her.

"That woman has a sinister plan, Cedric. I told you, but you wouldn’t listen! Talking about..." She paused when she looked up and noticed that Cedric was not with her. Had he returned to the dining room without her?

The opening of the gates, however, alerted her that he didn’t; he was rather going home.

"Where are you going, Cedric! Are you just going to give up like that?!!"

Damn idiot! She cursed, flinging her arm bag over her shoulder and stamping across the compound, half running when she heard Cedric start the engine of the car. She wouldn’t put it past him to drive off and leave her here. After all, he had done worse.

If not for her ambitions, she cursed, opening the car door. What would she be doing with such an irrational man who didn’t know when and how to fight for his rights?!

"Cedric, how can..."

The slap that connected with her cheek and nose was enough to blind her momentarily, to wheeze out whatever it was she wanted to say from her mouth and from her brain.

Victoria cupped her cheeks with her two hands, feeling it sting, feeling her nose bleed. Was it a punch? She was too engrossed in the pain to notice or think. She bowed her head, but it only served to increase the sudden headaches assailing her.

"Are you stupid? Why are you bent on destroying everything I’m building?!" As Cedric screamed, he wound up the glass, making them unseen from anyone outside—he wasn’t about to take another risk, to give his grand-uncle another reason to adopt another stray.

"What is wrong with you!" As he spewed the question, he pounded on her back with his fists, making Victoria gnash her teeth in pain.

When she could no longer take the beating, she howled out, not even stopping when Cedric pulled her roughly by the hair, forcing her to stare at him.

"You are the worst of the girlfriends I’ve had. Don’t you know how to keep your head down and be a submissive bitch?! Didn’t you learn anything from last time? Didn’t you see that he is already besotted with Athena, and that doing stuff to antagonize her is only spoiling my chances with him, huh? You idiot!"

Using his left hand to hold her hair, he used the right one to slap her cheek again, not moved by the blood trailing her nose. "You know what, we are done!"

Victoria’s eyes, which had become meek and calm, immediately flared up with defiance again. "You can’t be serious. Your mother won’t be happy with it," She spoke, albeit calmly, not wanting to provoke another round of beating. Her body was already going through enough as it was.
