Let Me Go, My Mafia Husband by Paga Slayer

Chapter 553 Let The Story Begin *Avery*

"Why are we heading to the Vampire Kingdom, Father? You know this will draw a lot of attention," I questioned my father, but he remained silent. The car glided smoothly along the road while he continued to gaze out of the window. His expression remained unreadable. "Father, you're taking an enormous risk. We can't afford to attract undue attention to him, you know that," I warned him.

"Shut up, Avery," he sharply scolded, making me wince. "After spoiling my plan, you still have the audacity to complain," he spat with disgust, though his focus remained outside, his anger palpable. "What did I do, Father?" I asked, my tone tinged with defiance.

"Really, Avery?! Do you not know what you have done?! I gave you enough time to seduce Zander and make him fall in love with you, but you were unable to do this. Not only this, you were unable to eliminate Selena from your way. Now she is back in Zander's life, and my dream of becoming the king of the Werewolves will only remain a dream, unfulfilled because of you!" He shouted at me so loudly and vehemently that even the chauffeur glanced at us.

"What?! Focus on the road," I snapped at the stupid shifter.

"How can you say that, Father?" I protested in a soft tone. I knew my father had a very bad temper. "I tried everything, and if you are forgetting, Zander was my love. Because of your foolish strategy, I lost him," I grimaced, remembering how abruptly Zander had told me I should leave right then.

"Do you think I will believe your nonsense? I know how much you love him," Father taunted rudely. "You were only with him for power, aiming to become the queen of the Werewolves. After you messed up everything, now only Damon can help me get what I want," he mumbled.

"Damon?!" I frowned. "But how?"

"That's why we are going to see him because he has a proposal for us," Father informed me, and for the first time, I saw a small smile appear on his face.
