Not His Type Of Mate
Chapter 173

Lord Maddison's POV

I kissed Nora's forehead and walked toward the bed, where I picked up my shirt and put it on. "Would you mind telling me what the good news is?" She asked, and I chuckled. It was funny the way she was so curious, but I loved it because it made me feel like she cared about me, and I knew that was true. I shook my head and laughed. "I don't want to tell you yet. I will make it a surprise for you," I said to her, and she pouted. She crossed her arms and glared at me. "You better do that soon, or I might get too impatient," she replied and walked over to me. She helped me button up my shirt and revealed a sweet smile. "Should I come with you?" She asked, but I shook my head.

As much as I wanted her around me, I didn't want her to be there when I would confront Laura. I wanted to keep my woman out of trouble, and I wanted to make her feel secure with me, even if it wouldn't mean much to her. I picked up my car keys and kissed her forehead again. "No, baby. I've got to settle this alone. Don't worry, I've got this," I said to her, but she continued staring into my eyes, and I knew she was worried about something I had no idea about. "If anything happens or you feel like she is up to something again, please give me a call, okay? I will drive down there immediately," she said worriedly, and I smiled. I bent my head a little and kissed her forehead again. "I will be right back. Laura has lost her respect already, and I won't show her any sympathy. Don't worry, babe," I said and rushed out of the room, not waiting for her to respond.

I already had an idea where Laura was, so I picked up my car and drove there. I knocked on her door, and it took her a few minutes to open the door, but her eyes widened the moment she saw me. She tried to close the door on me. I rolled my eyes, stopped the door with a quick reflex, pushed it open, and closed it, holding the key. I saw her face turn pale as she took steps back, panicking. "You... You better not do anything stupid. Remember I told you the pictures and videos are with people, and they will surely upload them the moment they don't see me in a few hours. I know you have powers, and you can do..." She stopped, looked around her, and took a few steps back again. She was scared, and I could see that in her eyes. Her hands wouldn't stop trembling either, and it was amusing how she was panicking after all she did to me. She nearly ruined me, man!

"What is it?" I asked coldly, and she swallowed. "I know you have powers, right? And you can kidnap me, but don't think you are safe after doing that because you will never know the people I gave the pictures to. They will upload them, and there won't be anything you can do about it," she said, trying to sound threatening. To her, she thought she was intimidating me, and maybe she expected me to be scared and start begging her. That was something I'd never do again, not even when I already had her secret with me. "I'm not here to do anything. I won't do anything stupid, so just shut up and listen to me talk, okay?" I asked her, and she seemed a bit relieved, but that only annoyed me. "Firstly, I have to apologize for the accident. It was a mistake. A mistake I made while I was drunk. You and I were both drunk, and I've always thought the accident was minor. I never imagined it would harm you this much. I'm sorry for that, okay?" I said and grunted.

Although I hated her for trying to ruin me, I still felt bad about what happened to her because of my drunken mistake a few years back. I wanted to apologize. I wished she would understand it was just a mistake and stop creating the illusion that I'm a bad person in her head. She looked at me for a while and rolled her eyes. "I won't accept your apology. I don't want it. I will go through with the surrogacy only if you volunteer to be the father. I mean, the one to donate his sperm," she said, and I frowned. What was she talking about? What was the issue with surrogacy that she was talking about as if I was the one who advised her to do it? I wanted to ask her what she meant, but what she said about me being the male donor turned me off, and I couldn't wait to finish what I came to her house to do. I smiled and crossed my legs. "I came here to show you something interesting. It has been a while since we last saw and talked like this, so I decided to come over to your house to show you something fun," I said to her, and she scoffed. "Something fun?" She asked, and I nodded.

"Come over and see it," I said and brought out my phone. But I realized she wasn't moving forward at all, and I frowned. "Don't you want to see?" I asked, but she only continued to stare at me. "I don't want to. Who knows what you are going to do to me if I come close to you?" She asked, and I smiled. If I had planned to harm her, I would have done it days ago, not after I had gathered all the information I needed to expose her. "Okay, bring out your phone and check this out. I'm going to send you some things to check," I said to her, and I saw her frown deepen. But I only laughed and unlocked my phone. I sent two pictures to her and raised my eyebrows. "Just sent them. Check them right away," I told her, but she hesitated.

She brought out her phone to unlock it and check what I sent her, but she seemed scared for some reason. This was the same girl that used to follow me everywhere a few years ago, as if we were family, but now she felt so insecure around me because of what she did. She caused all this, and I needed no fortune teller to tell me that our friendship was over, and it would never be repaired again.

She stared at me for a moment before she opened her phone, and I saw her eyes widen. She staggered backward, covered her mouth, and her phone fell from her hand. I thought she was going to gasp and pick up her phone, but she looked at me instead and started waving her hand, shaking her head, her lips trembling. "This... This isn't what you think, and it's even from a long time ago. How... How were you able to get this...?" She asked with a trembling voice, and I smirked. "How I got it isn't your concern. The real issue here is that you were dating my father, Laura! While you and I were friends, you were dating my father. Were you hoping to become my stepmother? Or did you just want an old man to support you?" I asked, but I needed no reply from her as she no longer deserved my attention. I rolled my eyes and dropped my legs. "I have more of those, and there are videos too. I'm going to upload them on many sites and make sure the whole world sees it," I said to her, and her eyes widened. She fell on her knees and started pleading, "Please, don't do this. Don't do this to me, please. It was a long time ago and it was a mistake. It... Can't we just dispose of all this and forget about the incident?" She asked, and I felt like laughing. She was the same person who said NO to my request a few days ago and threatened that she would upload my pictures, no matter what I do. But now she wanted me to forget about her own mistake? Was that how it worked? I was confused, but most of all, it was funny how she could open her mouth and make such a silly request when she knew well enough that she did not deserve that much.

"There are so many ways to use this against you, Laura. I would first take them to the council of the hybrids and let them know what kind of person you are. I will tell them you are the one who killed my father and make them punish you for it. I'm sure you know by now that the cause of his death hasn't been found yet, and it wouldn't cost me a dime to pin that on you. I will make them realize that the clothes he wore the same day he died were the ones you were here in, and the date on that picture was the same day he died. You must have gotten mad at him about something, and the next thing you wanted to do was kill him. Why? Because he betrayed you or because he cheated on you?" I asked, mockery obvious in my tone as I mercilessly berated her without restraint. "No... No, I didn't kill him. I saw him that day, we met somewhere, but I didn't kill him. I didn't do anything to him at all," she defended herself, but I only shrugged. I knew very well that she wasn't the one who killed my dad, but I wanted to pin it on her, maybe to threaten her.

"Also, I will upload it on both international and local media, and I will make sure none of them takes it down. I will make sure it stays there for at least a few months. You know what's funny? My dad is dead, so he wouldn't be feeling any shame, and the only one who would be feeling ashamed and embarrassed would be you because you are the only one still alive right now," I said to her, but she started begging again. Tears were already falling from her eyes, and it was satisfying to see her at my mercy like this after everything she had done to me.

"Please, don't do this to me. I have a bright future ahead of me. I have my dream job which I must do, and I also have a serious boyfriend who wouldn't want to see such a thing. I don't want to lose him, lord Maddison, please. I don't want him to walk away from me," she apologized, but it was just too irritating and annoying.

"I'm not going to accept your plea, Laura," I said to her, and I saw her tears roll down her eyes. She stood up from the ground and wiped her tears. "You know what, I will go and bring those pictures and videos I have of you," she said and ran toward the stairs but stopped and looked at me again. "I will burn them," she promised and left.

She came down a few minutes later with pictures and a USB, which she poured on the ground and raised her hands like a criminal who was caught stealing. "This is it," she said, and I frowned. "All? What about the ones you said you gave to people? Where are they?" I asked. I could remember well enough that she said she gave the pictures to some people who would help her upload them. She shook her head and fell on her knees again. "I didn't do that. I was only lying. I did not give the pictures to anyone," she replied, and I sneered.

I stood up from my seat and shook my head, "Really? So you drugged me, had sex with me while I was unconscious, made videos, took pictures, and started blackmailing me with it. How dare you, Laura?" I yelled at her as I stood up from the couch and walked over to where she was kneeling. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I was so pained when I came back and saw that you had a kid and a wife. I don't know what came over me; I'm so sorry," she apologized, but all I did was shake my head. I packed the pictures and the USB and turned to face her.

"Don't expect forgiveness from me, Laura. You disappointed yourself," I said to her and walked toward the door. I was about to leave the room when I stopped and played a recording on my phone. "This is you admitting to drugging me. If you try anything stupid again, I won't hesitate to drive you to jail for it," I warned her and left the room, leaving her in tears with a satisfied smile on my face.
