Alpha’s Virgin Wife by Baby Charlene
Chapter 250 The Bitter Truth
Shilah stared suspiciously at Raksha as he began talking. Queen Jade could hear her heart beating heavily in her chest, her eyes went wide open with fear.
“What are you talking about, Raksha?” King Dakota asked, moving closer to him.
“Raksha is just… nervous”, the Queen chipped in. “He thinks we are going to die due to how severe our condition is. So please, do not mind what he says”.
“You should be the one to stop making silly excuses, mother. Because I’m done”, Raksha’s words brought a stunned silence to the room. Now, they were all suspecting something could be wrong.
“I’m done being the bad guy and shoving all the secrets down my throat. I’m done being this demon that you’ve created. Perhaps, if I open up, the goddess will grant me a better after – life”.
“What have you done?” Pishan took a step forward and asked. The King had gone silent, just watching them.
“A lot”, he answered. “I do not even know where to begin. Perhaps, from all the times we framed Dakota so he could get hated by father, or the times we attempted a*s*sa*s*sinating him”.
“Shut it, Raksha! What are you doing?!” The Queen gritted. She tried sitting up, but it was impossible. And nobody offered to help.
“It’d be exciting to mention how we plotted the death of your mother – Queen Nana,” he laughed painfully.
The jaws of everyone dropped in the room, including Dakota who stood to his feet immediately. For the first time, fear reflected in his eyes – fear of believing what was being said.
“What are you doing?!” The Queen cried out to her son. “Have you decided to be so useless?! What is wrong with you?!”
“That woman yelling over there”, Raksha chuckled. “It was all her idea. I’m not trying to exempt myself from it, no. Of course, I also had a hand in it. But it was all her idea!” He paused to draw in a deep breath.
“We got a man who hired a lady that did the job for us. It was so smooth and planned – everything, including getting you cursed. We thought if you were cursed, father would tend to hate you and make me King, but the old man’s love for you was blinding, he wouldn’t budge. It made us develop more hatred for you and I hated it more when you made me your beta. I wanted to be more than just a beta, I wanted to be the King! And it was all because my mother made me believe it was the right thing to do”.
“You k*il*led Queen Nana?” Mato asked with disbelief, and that was when Raksha looked at him, a snigger on his face.
“Yes. And your son”, he chuckled. Mato’s heart stopped beating. His eyes shun so brightly with fear.
“What…. What did you… just say?”
“You heard me right, Physician. I k*il*led your son – right after I bribed him to mess with the pregnancy results that had been conducted on the King’s wives a year ago”, Raksha replied, but Mato could not believe him.
“No… you are lying…!”
“I wish I was. My mother, Nosheba and I paid Rancho to mess with Shilah’s test results. And to protect our secret, we had to k*il*l him”.
“You…You k*il*led my son!” Mato gasped, unable to breath again. “You k*il*led my son…!”
He charged at him and grabbed him by the neck, groaning in agony.
“How could you, you monster! How dare you?! He was all I had! My only son…! How could you…!” He went on choking Raksha, until Pishan interfered and pulled him away.
He bursted into heavy tears.
“Look what you’ve done, you cursed child of mine,” Queen Jade whimpered. “Look what your foolishness has brought upon us. You’re the worst son anyone could ever ask for, Raksha. And I regret the day I conceived you!”
“I also regret the day I made my way to your womb!” Raksha managed to say, coughing afterward. “I wish I had come as a tree, rather than coming as your son”.
“And I wish I had bled you out, rather than pushing you out of me!” The Queen wept. “I curse you, Raksha, and I curse the after – life you will get after death!”
Her tears increased, but Raksha went silent.
“It was you”, Shilah muttered weakly. “It was you who hired Jael and used her as your tool. You’re the reason she’s dead”.
Raksha looked at her and grinned.
“I am also the reason your son went missing for months”, he supplied. “I knocked Ahiga out and took the little prince away. My aim had to be k*il*l him, but somehow, I couldn’t bring myself to do that to a little boy. So, I made him float.” Shilah’s eyes sparked at once.
“You…wrench!” She shot her hand at him, releasing a spark into his chest. “It was you!!”
Raksha could say no more as he coughed profusely from Shilah’s attack.
“Pishan!” King Dakota called fiercely, his eyes not leaving the betrayers before him. “Get these people out of my sight. And make sure they’re locked in the darkest dungeon. They shall be executed by first dawn”.
It was obvious he had a lot to say, but the shock was overwhelming.
“Yes, My King”, Pishan bowed and left to get more guards, while the King stormed out of the room.
