Chapter 161
Dane
I don’t know where Amica found the audacity to plan an escape from this place.

I’ve never known her to be so bold, but it seems recent events have changed her. Now, she goes around threatening and blackmailing people. No wonder Mary suggested we kill her.
Damn. I don’t agree with that.
I never actually wanted Amica dead–I just wanted to make her life miserable, to ensure she never had anything good again since she’s no longer with me.
And now, I find out she might be pregnant with my child, yet she’s about to pass it off as Darth’s.
With the kind of opportunities coming my way because of Mary’s pregnancy, I can’t let anyone ruin this. Not even Amica.
But then–she escaped.
And honestly? I’m relieved for Mary, At least now, I know Darth has no other choice but to marry Mary.
My son will become the heir to the Blackthorn clan.
Just look at our fortune.
For the first time in a long while, I finally smile.
Darth, on the other hand, is furious–no, heartbroken–over Amica’s escape.
He managed to capture a few of the Gamma warriors who fled, but none of them confessed to anything. After questioning them a few times and getting nothing, Darth killed them without hesitation, without even blinking.
Every day, he sends his men out to search for Amica, ordering them not to return until they find her. I almost pity them. If I were one of those fools, I’d leave and never come back. But for some reason, they stay.
I don’t get it, why do they keep following him? He’s a fucking monster.
And what I really don’t understand is why Amica matters so much to him. Is he… in love with her? Because every time he speaks of her, he sounds like a man with a broken heart. What kind of hold does this bitch have on men that they can’t stop obsessing over her?
She isn’t even that special!
I shake off the thought, I decide to pay Mary a visit–this calls for a celebration.
I make my way to her chambers, knocking lightly on the door. A few seconds pass before she opens it, but the moment she sees me, she yanks me inside, shutting the door swiftly behind us.
“What the hell are you doing here? You can’t keep coming to check on me like this!” she hisses.
I smirk. “Why are you talking to me like that? Is it so wrong for me to visit the mother of my child?” I tease,
Her eyes darken with fury. “What? Don’t you ever say that, Dane! Do you have any idea how dangerous it is to talk about shit like that? There are ears everywhere in these walls!” she snaps.
“This child belongs to Darth and Darth alone,” she emphasizes, her tone sharp.

“Oh, of course, I know that,” I say, “But you don’t have to pretend around me, Mary…”
I step closer, placing a hand on her belly, feeling the slight swell beneath my palm. Slowly, I draw her in, leaning in for a kiss.
But she shoves me away–hard–like I’m nothing more than an annoying pest.
“What the hell is wrong with you, Dane? Stay the fuck away from me!” Mary seethes, stepping back. “I do not belong to you anymore! And if you ever try this shit again, I swear I’ll scream so loud Darth and his men will come running!”
Her voice is sharp, filled with irritation
“Do you even use your head? Do you want to die?”
I narrow my eyes, trying to read her. Is this just the pregnancy making her this hostile? Or… does she actually mean it?
I chuckle, shaking my head. “I guess the hormones are keeping you on edge right now. But that’s okay.”
I take a step closer, lowering my voice. “But you shouldn’t be in a bad mood, Mary. Amica is finally gone. That means Darth has no choice now–he’ll have to make you his mate. And when that happens, our son will be the heir to the Blackthorn Clan! Aren’t you excited, my love?” I try to cheer her up but her eyes blaze with fury.
“Stop talking to me like that! There is no we, no our son, no my love!” she spits, her voice shaking with anger.
“Don’t you get it? It’s over, Dane! In fact, there was never even an us! And if you ever thought otherwise, let me make it clear now–it’s over!”
Her face is set, She’s serious.
Or at least, she thinks she is.
“You can’t talk to me like that, Mary. And it is not over between us!” I snap, my voice low but firm. “I’m not asking for too much, am I?
I didn’t demand that you give me my child, nor did I ask you to marry me. I’ve accepted things as they are–no arguments.”
I step closer, my gaze locking onto hers. “But one thing I won’t accept is you telling me it’s over. That’s impossible. You belong to me, Mary, and so does the child growing inside you. You’d better get that into your pregnant head now, otherwise
“Otherwise what, Dane?” she cuts me off, her voice rising in challenge.
“Otherwise what? What could you possibly do to me?*
She takes a step back, her eyes blazing with defiance. “Tell Darth? I dare you, Dane!”
Her words hit like a slap, but she doesn’t stop there.
“You’d better stay away from me because soon, I’ll become the Luna of Lunas, and I will not be associated with your kind. These pathetic little visits of yours? They end now!
Once I am bonded to Scar, I won’t even know you exist.”
And just like that, she shatters me.
Unbelievable.
After everything, this is how she treats me? Like I’m nothing? I don’t deserve this. All I ever did was treat Mary like the high- class woman she is—or at least, the woman I thought she was. But instead, she chooses to act like a common tramp.

“Oh wow… I see, Mary. I’ll respect you wiches My voice to callin, fit thede, I’m No
“Yes, do that! And get the hell out of here comos!” dhe epire, chaving me toward the door like I’m come day ding
But at this moment, everything becomes cryed lear
I put the wrong woman on a pedestal.
Mary is nothing but a parasite, feeding off opportunities, clawing her way to the top she was never mine she was only ever loyal to herself
And I see it in her eyes. She means every word. She wants to discard me like garbage before the even secures her place at the
top.
But I won’t let that happen.
Telling Darth about us isn’t an option–but there has to be something I can do.
Something to remind Mary that I am not a man to be played with.
At this point, I dont mind sabotaging it all.
