109 Why I Did It Part 1
Tia.
We rushed through our meal in silence. Everyone
was silent. It was apparent we were all eager to do something. Stacy sat beside Aesop, a bit docile. My father had visited her whi
le I was sleeping and prescribed some meds to help her. Stacy smiled a bit, but it didn‘t
touch her eyes. I knew she was worried for Monica’s sake. There was no way Caleb or Luke would go easy on her. She had offe
nded both of them extensively. She had tried to kill Caleb‘s mother
and helped her father to steal from Luke. Honestly, I doubted she would have a good explanation.
“Have you told the guards to prepare a room for the interrogation?” I asked Luke, and Stacy looked up, a bit worried. “Yes, we ha
ve the best soundproof room for that,” Luke said, and I was quiet.
“She is a confused child,” Stacy said, and Aesop shut her up, supporting what was about to happen.
“No one asked for your opinion,” Alpha Aesop said, and she was silent at the table. I have never seen Stacy this peaceful and
obedient before. She was truly shaken up.
After breakfast, Luke led the way to the room he had prepared to interrogate Monica. From the look of things, they were making i
t a family affair. It was also wise to control the information we would learn just in case they are vital. I watched as Luke led us to t
he only soundproof room in that mansion, his office.
We waited in the office
for the guard to bring Monica in. I was worried she might have escaped because the guard was taking too long. “Was she secure
d properly?” I asked, and Luke and Caleb could not give a definite answer.
“Emotions were running high yesterday. I doubt if they paid attention,” Kimberly volunteered, and with that, I knew there was a po
ssibility she had absconded.
Our worries were alleviated when two guards walked in with Monica. We all sighed with relief. Caleb took her from them and ask
ed what had taken them so long. They explained she was in the restroom and had to wait for her to finish before bringing her.
Still, in chains, Monica stood before us. She looked sad and remorseful, but it meant nothing. She had worked against us. The o
nly people she could truly call a family. She stared at her mother in shock.

I cleared my throat, sitting on the office couch and looking at her.
“I do not intend to hurt you,” I lied, ” But if you prove difficult, I will. Looking at what you have done, I promise you I will enjoy ever
y bit of it.” I said, and she was scared. An absolute horror was registered on her face, and I smiled. She had gotten my message.
“Now tell us. Why you poisoned your mother, How you met Regan, how long you‘ve been working for him, why work against this
family and any useful bit you feel can help us. Trust me, your life depends on it.” I said calmly, and tears began to stream down h
er face. She looked at her mother. It was clear that she was shocked that her mother was okay.
“I am
a sorry mother. I really am,” were her first words. As much as I wanted to interrupt her, I was calm enough to allow her to apologi
se to her mother. Alpha Aesop was seething with anger; I had to link Luke to tell his father to calm down. If Monica is intimidated,
we won‘t learn much. Luke must have spoken to him because the pressure calmed down a bit.
“He told me you will just sleep for a bit and wake up. I did not know it was poison. I swear. Until the doctor told us about your con
dition. I was so angry that I came back to confront Stephan about it. He was the one that connected me to my father. He claimed
he was from Dome,” she said and blinked away tears. Stacy did not utter a word. Monica looked at me to answer my question.
“I had just arrived with my mother from Dome, and things did not seem great between
her and Alpha Aesop; I became worried. I hadn‘t settled in when Stephen approached me. He said he was from my father, and th
at piqued my curiosity. He said he would link me with my father, and I was happy. I had never met him before, and my mother rar
ely spoke of him, so I was curious and excited. I wanted to tell my father to stop blackmailing my mother because I knew how mu
ch she was stressed trying to pay him off. That evening I got a call from my father. He told me he was happy to hear my voice an
d would like to speak with me in private. I was excited, so I went to the meeting. We met at the Free park. It was an open place, s
o I felt safe. He hugged me and told me he missed me. He expressed how much I remind him of my mother, and
he was pained she left him.” she said and looked at her mother.
“Father told me that you left him for money and power. He couldn‘t give you any of those, and you decided to abscond with your l
over, whose wife had just died. I believed him,” she said, wiping away her tears and shaking her head,” I am sorry, Mommy, but I
believed him.” she said, sounding remorseful.
“All I could think about in those moments was what I was deprived of. I grew up as nobody‘s daughter. You told everyone I was y
our niece and treated me as such. I grew up as an orphan. I was mad. He told me he wanted us to be
family, and you left. I was angry, thinking I could have had a home, a father and mother who loved me. I believed you robbed me

of everything you provided for
Caleb. You took everything from me. All the years we could have spent together, you were here, being a mother to Alpha Luke an
d then Caleb while you left me to rot in Dome, sending me gifts and promising you would bring me to the mansion. Thinking of ev
erything, I resented you.” She said and then looked at me. Monica had it all twisted. Stacy was actually trying to protect and provi
de for her. It was clear Monica had Daddy issues. There was no way anyone would have convinced her otherwise.
“We began to hang out often, and he seemed like a nice man. He told me about his family and how our bloodline was never reco
gnised because the Moons struck the Adhit name
off the recognised alpha‘s list. He told me that was why his father died and that he promised his father that the Adhit name would
be recognised one day. So he started his journey to maximise wealth and move up the ladder. Still, the Moons and the Renshaw
s had monopolised everything. He had a problem with Alpha Aesop because
he always took things from him. First, he took Chloe Renshaw from him, letting it go....” She said and froze when Alpha Aesop ex
claimed. Alpha Aesop had interrupted her at the mention of his late wife‘s name. I had to link him to calm down so we do not dive
rt. I was bound to question her more on that. Monica wasn‘t giving us any problems at all. She might have realised
her errors, but I did not want to jump to conclusions.
“Continue,” I said to her, and she nodded.
“He said he forgave the incident with Chloe, but then she died, and Alpha Aesop took my mother from him, taking me away in the

“So, you wrote the suicide note?” I asked her, and she shook her head.
