Chapter 88

Chapter 88.

"Walk ahead," Leila says to Carmela, squinting at her as they trudge up the small hill.

There is no need to hide it, she doesn't trust Carmela at all, this is a woman that had her locked up, tirelessly tried to poison her and eventually tried to kill her, there is no way she can walk with her back turned to Carmela.

Adaline may be here and so Carmela may not try anything but she cannot take that risk. The fact that Carmela knew the assassin that attacked her on two occasions still baffles Leila's mind.

What she cannot make sense of is why Carmela would stage an attack, fake her own kidnap and then return now to try and kill her so she can become Luna when she could have just stayed and married Tatum naturally. Even if Carmela saw as a threat back then, the logical thing for Carmela to do is to kill her and get her out of the way, not fake her own kidnap.

She is missing something, there is an agenda to Carmela's actions, they are not random and right now every thread she pulls just leads her right to another loose thread.

"You know, I always thought I would be the one you make the trip up the Aragine with, mother, turns out that life had other plans," Carmela says to Adaline, catching up to her and Leila sees how Adaline stops abruptly but she doesn't turn. "Sometimes a little patience is all that is required for our wishes to come+ and you must remember, delay is delay, it is not denial," Adaline replies, now glancing at Leila with complex emotions in her eyes before she continues upwards. Leila perfectly understands what Adaline means..

Carmela only needs to have patience till she gives birth to her child. Till they have an heir and then they will discard her and give Carmela what they believe is rightfully hers.
