Chapter 0189ZAIA.She isn’t innocent; I know that more than anyone.From a young age, she would be cruel to me. When I did go to Dad’s to spend a little time with him,she would let An nalise pinch and hit me, then threaten me to stay silent or say that if I told anyone, Iwouldn’t get to come over.I remember how she’d take things Dad would buy for me and give them to An nalise, and the one time Irefused to, she slappedme.I didn’t say anything, but the things she did often stuck in my mind, and as I got older, Dad stoppedcoming to see me… It makes sensenow, but as a child, it hurt.This woman caused me pain, but ultimately it all began with Mom’s betrayal.The blame game is easy, but there are many at fault…

The silence in the room is deafening as she looks at me, arms crossed – anger etched on her face.I smile slightly, to think that this woman is my aunt….“I won’t beat about the bush. I want to know everything and anything you might know regarding thosewho have used An nalise.” I don’t think she was simply used. However, if I wanted Annette to help…“We know nothing! An nalise is just a victim in all of this as well!” she huffs, crossing her arms:“Then I’m afraid I won’t be able to lighten her sentence. I have been doing my own detective workAnnette… and I found some rather+25 BONUSinteresting information…” I say as walk towards her and cross my arms, imitating her. My eyes flickerorange as I tilt my head before continuing.“After a little digging… I learned that An nalise has no right to the Toussaint empire. After all, she is not

my father’s daughter.” I whisper.Her face pales but it quickly changes to defensive.“How do you-”“Well, you better cooperate before I tell Father that An nalise is not his!” I say, making sure she doesn’tthink Dad told me.Her eyes narrow as I smile victoriously, pretending that I think I have won, and she clenches her jaw.“It isn’t true! She is Hugh’s daughter!“Isn’t it? Shall we get her tested and make this public knowledge because rest assured if it comes out,not only will her status drop but you too shall fall from grace.” I say quietly.Her face pales and I can hear her heart thundering violently.“Hugh- he knows!” she snaps. “We don’t keep secrets from one another, and he loves me! He happilyaccepted my daughter as his own!”“That’s good, but it still does not make her his.” I don’t agree with what I’m saying, but it’s the only way Iknow she’ll possibly help. “And I will be the alpha of that pack soon. I can make sure you have apleasant life, or I can ruin you all on the basis of how you treated me and Mom, forcing you to leave thepack.”“Fine. Just spit it out! What do you want from me?” she snaps coldly.“I want you to try to reach out to those who have put An nalise in such a position. I don’t know if theywish to help her and if they even will+25 BONUSlisten to you, but it’s worth a shot.” I say quietly.“How am I supposed to do that?” She asks, clearly looking confused.I smile slightly. “I’m certain they are watching An nalise. She might have something on her phone oremail. A way to contact them. You are efficient Annette, you’ll figure it out.”“And if they agree to help her?”“Then I’m happy for her, or they may try to silence her… and if that’s the case, I will protect her and herchild. I just need you to get any information you can on them. Names, ages, who they are and what

they want.”She frowns, pondering over what I said. “What about the man who is the father of her child? Maybe heknows something,” she suggests. “He’s disappeared,” I reply. I’m not sure if she’s simply a goodactress or truly in the dark, but I intend to replace out.+25 BONUS
