Rejected Slave To The Alpha by Gory Anna

Chapter 97.

Aisha’s POV.

Aurora’s piteous display did nothing to temper my rage, her contrived s obs falling on deaf ears. Nelly’s rapid footsteps drew closer, her anger palpable in the stillness of the night air. I remained rooted to the spot, arms folded across my chest, my stance a testament to my unwavering conviction.

“You know the price for your actions,” I seethed, my voice a low rumble that reverberated through the air.

“I didn’t do anything!” Aurora protested, but her words rang hollow, devoid of any truth or sincerity.

Nelly’s voice sliced through the air like a whip, her eyes darting back and forth between me and the sniveling Aurora. With arms folded across her chest, she took a protective stance, defending the treacherous maid before her.

“What’s going on here?” Nelly demanded, her tone urgent and commanding.

I wasted no time in delivering my incriminating evidence. “Your beloved maid almost took your life today,” I spat.

I explained everything to her, how I saw Aurora trying to poison her drink and how she gave me a lake excuse for not drinking the drink. Nelly’s expression hardened skepticism marrying her features.

“That can’t be right,” she insisted. “There must be a mistake. Aurora can never poison me,” she defended her, irritating me the more.

“You’re so quick to defend her, Nelly,” I seethed, my voice dripping with contempt. “Despite all the evidence, you still refuse to believe she’s a threat to your life. Aurora played you for a fool, manipulating you with her lies and deceit, yet you cling to her innocence like a drowning man clings to a life raft. You’re either incredibly naive or willfully blind.”

Nelly’s gaze hardened, her face a mask of defiance.

“Aurora has always been loyal to me,” she insisted. “I can’t believe she would do something like this.” I scoff.

“How long have you known this lady? Less than a month Nelly! And you are here

blabbing about loyalty,” I said, my voice tinged with disbelief. This wasn’t the Nelly I knew.

Nelly’s composure wavered as my words struck like a slap to the face. Her head bowed, defeated by the hard truths that shattered her illusions.

Aurora crawled to Nelly, tears flowing as she held her legs. “My lady, I’m innocent,” she cried out.

Aurora’s simpering pleas only served to sharpen my wrath, her self-serving drivel a vile insult to our intelligence.
