Special Chapter: Kayden's POV
I almost can't believe it, but the realization hits me like a bucket of bolts. Margallo had been responsible all along. It had all been her master plan, but why? It really doesn't make any sense. It's our mating ceremony today, we're supposed to officially be mates, so why would she cause pandemonium by poisoning the wine? Why would she do something like that, knowing it would ruin the ceremony? It almost seems like she never wanted it to happen, but if she doesn't want me to become her mate, then why has she always been so possessive of me? Why didn't she just say so despite knowing how much I want to end it as well? We could have just ended our bond on mutual grounds via rejection, and everyone would have been happy, so why would she do something like this?
Why did she try to kill my brother? What on Earth could be her plan or her motive behind something so big? I'm not granted much time to think of answers, as I hear a small thud and my eyes move back to Evelyn, who lay weakly on the bed, looking like she'd pass out any second. Evelyn is only going through all of this hell because of that vile woman, and I'll surely make her pay. It's only because of her that I have to see my love in such a condition.
"She won't get away with this. I'll make sure she pays for ever hurting you and all of us, I promise you, Evelyn." I assure her but don't receive a reply as she passes out instantly.
I became alarmed and called for the doctor, who rushed back instantly with the little girl in her hand, all cleaned up, dressed, and wrapped cozy in a pink blanket. I notice how beautiful Evelyn's daughter really is. She's sleeping so peacefully like the little angel she is. I almost want to hold her, kiss her on the forehead and promise that everything will be alright, but I restrain myself; I have much more important business to attend to.
"Is there a problem? Why the sudden call?" the doctor questioned; the worry apparent on her features. Only then do I notice how tired she looks. It must be so hard having to deal with such a tight situation and having to put up with such high expectations.
"It's Evelyn, she seems to have passed out," I told the doctor, and she sighed in relief. "There's really no need to worry, I think she just passed out from exhaustion. It's been a difficult birth for her, and it's only her first time, so it's expected. Though the effects of the poison may still be weighing on her, especially since she hasn't passed out any waste yet. I'll do a check-up just to be sure. We've already come so far, so I can't let a small negligence put her in harm's way once again. I'll check and let you all know about the outcome. Let's hope that her condition only improves from here on out." The doctor said, and I nodded.
"By the way, congratulations to you. You have a daughter now," she congratulated me, all smiles, and I smiled back as well.
