Owned By Her Triplet Bullies
Chapter 117

Hailey's

POV

"Don't you all stand there and judge me like I'm the bad person here. Alex, you also agreed to marry me because of the position of Alpha. It was also to fulfill your own selfish interest. Then, why is mine different? You all blame me for bullying Emma and making you bully her also. Don't blame me for your wrongdoings. It's not like I forced you all into doing it. You all enjoyed that moment as much as I did, didn't you?" I said panting heavily from anger.

Ria shook her head at me. "Even after all these years, you haven't changed one bit. You've just been caught doing despicable things yet you are trying to justify your actions by not being remorseful at all. Everyone here knows the triplets bullied Emma. Even she herself has forgiven them because they sincerely apologized to her. They broke up for an entirely different reason. Grow up Hailey and stop behaving like a spoilt brat," she replied.

I chuckled. "Who do you think are to speak to me in that way? I'm still your Luna and you will treat me as such," I ordered.

"No, you are nothing but a sad, sick, and twisted woman, you are not worthy of anyone's respect," she retorted. I glared at her angrily.

"You little..," I started walking towards her.

"I would stop right there if I were you," John warned stepping in front of her and shielding her away from me. I scoffed.

"So..," Mother started. We all looked toward her.

"Sharlam was right after all. Hailey has a mate. Alexander has a mate but they still fooled us all and got married which was why they couldn't have a child after all these years. I asked you both and you still had the nerve to lie to me and make me feel guilty for allowing the council to bring Sharlam over," she muttered.

"Mother, we might have mates but we both chose this path. A fated mate could also be wrong. Alex and I knew we were right for each other which was why we did what we did. It's not that big of a deal," I replied. She stared at me in shock. Emma chuckled. I glanced towards her wondering what was so funny.

"You all think Hailey could not have children because she was not mated to the right person? Really? That's what you all thought? Should I tell them?" she asked me with a smile.

Blood drained from my face as my fingers trembled uncontrollably. My chest clenched anxiously. For the first time since all that happened this night, I actually felt fear. Was this what it meant for someone to feel scared? This feeling was new and I have never felt this way before. It suddenly felt like I couldn't breathe.

"What do you mean by what you just said?" Alex asked. I could feel sweat dripping down my chin. I wiped it with my hands nervously.

"Are you feeling scared?" she taunted. I gulped.

"Why would I feel scared of whatever you want to say? It's not the first time you would try to tarnish my reputation," I retorted firmly.

"I ran medical tests on Hailey and they came back this week. The reason why she couldn't have a child all this while is because her womb is damaged. Honestly speaking, it is close to impossible for her to ever conceive again," she deadpanned. Everyone gasped. I let out a shaky breath, I had just called her bluff, I didn't really think she would say it out loud. "Are you sure about this?" Mother asked skeptically.

"I am. The reports are in my car. I will bring them over and I hope we never get to see each other again. I quit being your doctor. You don't expect me to continue as your doctor after everything that happened today, do you?" she inquired.

"It's not true. She's just lying to get back at me," I said to them.

"You know what? I really pity you. You did all that you did so you could feel relevant and noticed yet you have nothing to show for it," she replied.

"Shut up! Who are you to judge me? You know nothing about me," I responded.

"I know more than enough to realize that you are like trash, and trash deserves trash. You deserve everything you are getting. Cole, let's go," she said. Cole nodded as they turned around to leave.

"Emma, wait," Mother called out to her. She stopped abruptly.

"I have nothing more to say Luna Lila and I don't want to hear any more apologies. No amount of apology can change the past and I've come to terms with that. Thank you for dinner. If you will excuse me, it's getting late," she said before leaving together with Cole. "Thank you for dinner, Mrs. Martinez. We should also be on our way now," Xander said.

"Wait. You all also knew about this, didn't you? You didn't look shocked at the fact that Emma was the triplets' mate all this while," Father said to him.

He sighed. "We did but we didn't think it was in our place to say anything..."

"It's fine. You can leave now," Mother said, cutting him off.

"Aunty...," he started.

"You can all leave," Mother repeated. They all slowly took their leave. We all stood in silence for a while.

"Mother, I know you are probably angry and disappointed at us. I don't know what to say or how to plead for forgiveness.." Julian started.

"Bullies rejected mates, lies, death threat messages, rape accusations, and the list goes on and on. I don't even know what to think or say..."

"Then, don't think about it. Let's all put this behind us and move on like we just woke up from a bad dream. It's not worth thinking too much about," I said. Mother walked towards me slowly.

"You agree too, don't you?" I said to her with a smile. She raised her hand and slapped me. I held my cheek in shock.

"M..mother," I stuttered. Since my mother died when I was young and the triplets' mother raised me, she had never once raised her hand to me. This was a first and it was all because of...

"You must be thinking I slapped you because of Emma right? I should have slapped you from the beginning when you started displaying this behavior of yours. What is wrong with you and how did you turn out like this? You did all this to a fellow woman like yourself and you don't even look remorseful," she said. My lips quivered and I could feel tears threatening to spill from my eyes. I glanced around and I could see our servants lurking behind and watching us. "Mother..," I called out again.

"Don't call me that. I'm not related to any of you. The children I raised will never do what you all did. I never raised bullies or manipulative and conniving children," she spat angrily. She suddenly grabbed her head and groaned out in pain. We all rushed towards her. I tried to touch her but she slapped my hand away.

"Come on honey, let's go inside. We will talk about this tomorrow," Father said as he gently led Mother inside.

"What are you still doing here?" Philip growled at Jance.

"Let's go. He's the least of our worries right now," Alex replied.

"Why? Are you going after Emma again? Need I remind you that we still have a deal I don't plan on breaking anytime soon," I said to Alex.

"Look around you, Hailey. It's over. Everything has been revealed. Do you think the council will allow you to become Luna after all this? Don't be delusional. Do you think Alex will want to continue this sham of a marriage?" Julian asked in disbelief.

"I can't even stand her. She disgusts me," Alex replied coldly before walking away. Julian and Philip followed.

"Stop right there! How dare you walk out on me when I'm still talking!" I yelled at them furiously. I angrily wiped away the tears flowing down my cheeks.

"It's okay to cry and vent Hailey. You made a mistake and you can change just like I did. Leave Alex and come with me. I might not be an Alpha and I can't fulfill your dreams of being Luna but I promise to love and cherish you. I know you feel the same way. You are just been stubborn. I didn't mean to come here and expose you today but when Emma recognized me, I could not bear to lie again. This secret has been eating me up for a while. I came here to tell you that my parents are already setting me up on blind dates but I don't want anyone else. It's you I want," he said.

I stared at him for a while. "Go home," I mumbled before walking inside dejectedly. My worst fears finally came through. For the very first time in my life, I was in a situation that I had no idea how to get out of.
