Worshiper Of His Existence

Last Chapter

"This marriage cannot be annulled until you provide me with an heir."

"Wh- What?" I could barely create a sentence. Everything before my eyes began to feel like a lie.

My mind went blank for a mere moment, trying to proceed with what he said and failing to do so.

How could this be... How- How and when did this happen?

Why did no one tell me about this?

The intensity was slipping out of my grasp. I couldn't fathom he truly planned to capture me in his territory but doing this. He planned it out.

"I was ready to capture you in my domain from the start but you and your stupid self never believed in me."

I was defeated from all corners from the very start.

"Does-" I tried to ask who else was involved in this atrocity but he cut me off.

"Yes. Everyone except 'you' knew about it."

He told me seriously, my heart clenched, not just him but my own Father sold me out too.

"Not only your fucking Father but your best friend too. All of them." He growled, curling his hand in a fist, contemplating my stagger with seriousness.

"Do you understand now why I hate the ones around you? They did nothing but humiliate you in front of me by selling you to me like a thing." He scowled as if my heartbreak was ... hurting him?

Must be my imagination.

Immobilized in dread, I blinked, praying deeply for it to be a terrible lie.

"I can't believe it." I breathed out, holding my chest as a show of immense grief.

"You were always used by your Father." He told me strictly, getting up but I lowered my head, pulling my hair in distress.

"Stop it... stop..."

I could feel my heart being torn apart. I ravaged my life for a dedication that brought me nothing.

What did I gain? What I own that I could call mine?

"That is why you are bound with me forever. You have to give me a son and if you want to terminate this contract, you have to kill your own Father. Which one would you like to choose?"

A victorious smirk came on his lips, knowing he had won long ago. He knew he had trapped me in his prison. I was his doll the moment I mindlessly signed the marriage contract.

'That was why Father wanted me to kill Nathaniel, not only for the throne but there was no other way out from my contract....'

My whole being cannot react properly to this work, losing myself in the fiery talks. That was too much for my dead brain to process.

"But.. but..."

Whispering, I looked here and there desperately to find a reason that could help me in this predicament.

"You have to kill Axel in return and you ended up betraying us!" I reasoned loudly, becoming hopeless at this point.

"You- You were supposed to help us and kill him. You betrayed us. You are wrong t-too!"

Stammering, yelling, becoming desperate, I wanted a reason to call myself right too

This marriage was based upon it, he can't disregard this fact, he has to pay for his deed as well.

Everything was falling apart, all of it felt like a lie.

"Oh, is that so? Then show me the clause which states that."
