Alpha’s Virgin Wife by Baby Charlene
Chapter 143 Exposed
The peace and serenity in the hall had already been tampered with as everyone became mumbling, finding the whole thing dramatic.
Nosheba wasn’t herself anymore, she was clearly feeling her heart beating loudly in her chest – so loud.
“Thaddeus?” Dakota called, wearing a muddled look.
“What are you talking about?”
“This woman, King Dakota” he pointed at Nosheba.
“Has been the green snake i told you about”.
Another gasp from the hall.
“I’d want her to explain everything herself. Explain her evil plot and to bring Shilah down just when she had discovered she was pregnant for you. Shilah is a naive lady and didn’t even know she was pregnant and Nosheba being the first to notice, plotted to take her down as she feared she might birth a son since she’s been fond of fighting your curse” he paused and took some steps around, prolly giving them a little time to digest the little he had just said.
Nosheba was already looking unsettled. And so was Raksha and his mother.
“The last time I came visiting and told you one of your wives had concepted your son”, Thaddeus continued.
“The Spirits had intentionally hidden her ident*ity from me for they wanted this to happen. They wanted the unfaithful wife to expose herself through her own evil plots. That was the reason I instructed you to call a meeting and tell everyone of them about it. Because, as soon as that meeting was over, Nosheba had become restless, knowing Shilah was pregnant. She feared Shilah was the one pregnant with your son which was true. And carrying out her first plot, she found a way to manipulate the test results and made Shilah’s own come out negative. But unknown to her, she was equally pregnant at that time. And when the test results was released, hers was positive. But know this and know peace, King Dakota – that baby in her womb never belonged to you”.
A wilder outburst from the gasp. King Dakota’s face was stunned silent.
“In a quest to provide a male child, Nosheba had to sleep with another. Her second daughter which was birthed few months ago was never for you. And the current one in her womb, does not belong to you either”.
“NO!!” Nosheba cried out.
“This is MADNESS!!”
She tried running out of her table but was held back by Pishan. And sparing her a glance, Thaddeus continued.
“When she was announced pregnant and thought to be the one with the son, Nosheba decided to take Shilah out as soon as possible before her own pregnancy gets exposed. She tried to poison her, but it didn’t work out. And knowing she had to act quick, decided to set her up so you could k*il*l her.
“Yes, the plan had been to k*il*l her. That very day, when you had been at the field with Shilah and she ended up throwing up, Nosheba was so disturbed and that was the very day she came up with the evil plan. Using help from an old friend, the guard’s family – Arin – was abducted and used in threatening him to set Shilah up. The guard had no option but to comply.
“He knocked on her door so late in the night, telling her the King was calling for her. And when she opened up, he sedated her and made her lay nàked beside him.
“Nosheba had expected you to k*il*l Shilah just like you did to the guard. But either ways, she was still thankful she had been kicked out of the Palace. So, she had all the time to herself” he stated in inference.
“This is a Conspiracy!” Nosheba cried out from where she was being held by Pishan.
“Do not listen to him! It is a Conspiracy!! Who knows?? Maybe the shameless Shilah had gone to him, offered her cheap body to him just so he could say all these!! It is a Conspiracy!!” She was yelling at the top of her shaky voice.
“May I struck dead if this is anywhere close to a conspiracy” Thaddeus replied, staring intently at her.
“You know your evil deeds, Nosheba. There is no point fighting it because it’s over for you”.
“It is you who is over!” She pointed her index finger at him.
“It is you who is over for ruining my party and saying such nonsense about me”. She turned to the King
“Please, you don’t have to believe a word from this hypocrite. He is lying. You should know I’d never…..”
“Can you swear by the moon that all I just said are lies, Nosheba?” Thaddeus cut her off.
“If you’re ready, you can swear it right now. But just know you’ll be smitten dead the second you swear it for you are guilty. So, are you ready?”
All eyes darted to Nosheba’s frightened face. Swearing by the moon wasn’t something anyone was meant to take lightly.
“Yes! She should swear it if she’s innocent” one of the Alpha’s wives said from her table.
“I agree to that. She should swear it!” Another seconded.
“I’m in support”.
“Shut UP!! ALL OF YOU!” She roared at them.
“I do not have to swear to prove my innocence to you all cause you don’t matter! You do not matter!!”
And the next thing that followed was a hard slap on her cheek, one that pushed her off balance as she fell on the floor.
What? It was the King?!
Her heart splitted as he glared at her with those hurting disbelieving eyes. It was nothing like she had ever seen.
“How could you?” His voice was icy.
“How could you do this?”
“The unfaithful wife can be punished later. But for now, you need to go find Shilah as she needs your help. She doesn’t have much strength left” Thaddeus chipped in.
And heavy – heatedly, King turned to face him.
“Where do I start from? Where can I find her?” He asked hastily.
He’s never been so troubled in his whole life.
“The cave” thaddeus replied with his gaze ahead.
“You’ve been there before”.
King Dakota narrowed his eyes. And getting the realization, he rushed out of the hall with Pishan following behind him, while Nosheba was taken away by the guards, wailing.
