Chapter 81
Dimitri:
“Do you want to tell me what happened?” I asked, entering the bedroom,
following Aurora who just put Angelina to sleep.
The guests left an hour ago, and now, the two of us finally had our moments of
peace to stay together. It was something that I was thankful for, and considering
that we were going to get some rest as well, Angelina had two maids tending to
her in case she woke up at night.
“Mom told me something to bother me tonight. I know that she did it to ruin the
night for me, but I am thankful that you were there by my side. To say the least,
you helped pass it for me.” I smiled at her words before walking toward her. I put
my hands on her shoulders as her back was to me, gently massaging them
before wrapping my arms around her.
“Do you want to tell me what it was about?” I asked, making sure that my voice
was gentle as I spoke. I knew that she was yet to trust me completely, and I had
to admit, I couldn't blame her for it. Had I been in her place and situation, I knew
that even looking at the person who hurt me as much as I hurt her was going to
be hard. “You don’t need to be afraid. I promised you that I was going to listen
and support you no matter what it was, and I will stick to my word. Just tell me
what happened for me to be able to help out, malyshka.”
She didn’t speak for a few seconds, and I could tell that she was debating on
whether or not to tell me, and even if she did decide to want to tell me; I knew
that she was trying to find the right way to it. But I had to admit, I couldn’t help but
find myself being upset that her mother chose an important night like this one to
tell her something to hurt her.
We passed Charlotte, and that was a plus in my eyes, but the last thing that I
expected was for harm to come from family. But then again, I had to keep in mind
that regardless of the way that they treated her, I knew that it was because. they
were benefitting to some extent. The woman was not their daughter, and that.
was something that will always have a small tow to it.
She walked to the bed and sat on the edge of it before looking at me to come,
and I smiled before walking to her side, sitting down as I looked at her. Her heart
raced, and she clenched then unclenched her fist, taking deep and slow breaths
as she did, clearly trying to calm herself down a bit.
“She told me who my father was,” she said, making my eye widen in surprise.
This was the last thing that I expected her to say, especially considering the fact
that I could tell that it was something that must have caused her a fuss before to
quiet down her curiosity about the topic. “I don’t know who my mother is, she
didn’t tell me, but she chose to tonight of all nights to come and tell me that
because I had a child and a “mate’ that I was ready to hear this. I wasn't,”
Her honesty was one that I didn’t expect at this moment, but I could tell that she
had let her walls down as she spoke, choosing to trust that I wasn’t going to harm
her with what I was hearing. And I was going to be honest, though I didn’t even
know who the man was yet, and though I didn’t even expect what she just said, I
wasn’t going to harm her with what she was going to tell me. If anything, I was
going to be sure to protect her with everything that I could.
“Do you want to tell me who it is? And why you are not happy with it?” I asked,
shaking my head in question. Though I knew that she must have been in shock
to hear of whoever the person was, I expected her to be at least happy to know
where she came from. Unless the person was one who was an enemy to her or
someone who would have harmed those that were around; then that was a
different case.
“I don’t know how to say it out loud, Dimitri.” She said, taking me off guard as she
hesitated. Her heart raced against her chest, and for the first time since I met her,
I saw her scared, genuinely scared, and it wasn't because of us being mates, it
was because of something that was bigger than that. The pain that I saw in her
eyes was one that I didn’t like either, and I couldn't help but frown in confusion as
I tried to understand what was going on.
I took both her hands in mine, squeezing them in assurance before slowly pulling
her to my chest. She took a deep and slow breath, trying to calm herself down,
but her next words were more painful than I could have described.
“I don’t want to end up losing you when I barely just managed to fix things, if a
little with you, Dimitri.” She said, not looking up at me. “I don’t want to end up
breaking what we are trying to build when we barely just started with it, and it is
even my fault. I swear that I didn’t know.
I had to admit, I couldn't help but frown as I tried understanding what she was
saying. But I was sure to stay quiet as I feared that she would end up stopping
whatever it was that she was going to tell me. The idea of that was not one that I
wanted. Instead, whatever it was, I wanted her to voice it out for me to
understand how I was to be able to help out. And I had to admit, I was curious
about who that man was and why he would be choosing to throw a daughter
away when she was baby who need her parents.
“I don’t want my daughter to live without her dad, and I know that it could possibly
happen if you choose to resent or send me away. I know what it is to lose. a
parent; I lived without mine throughout my entire life, learning and hearing that I
was a bastard, and that is not something that I want for my child. I don’t want her
thinking or believing for a second that she was.” She said, moving away from me.
She looked me in the eye, and I frowned at the sight of her eyes being welled up
with tears. Her pain was one that I read through her tone and the idea of
whatever she was going to tell me being serious was not one that I could ignore.
I had to admit, it was one that frightened me, and I knew that she was just as
scared. “Aurora, malyshka, I told you that we were going to solve this together.” I
aid, my
voice softening as I cupped her cheeks to wipe her tears for her. “Whoever that
man is, it is not your fault that he fucked whoever he did or that she ended.
