I say to Annalise, who looks panicked. “Please Zaia, don’t do this! Please!”
“It’s too late to ask for forgiveness,”
I say quietly.
“I will have your father free you, don’t worry.”
I hear Annette whisper as she hugs her tightly, but I don’t say anything, allowing them to have their goodbye.
“Take her,”
I order, turning to Justin, Sebastian’s current chosen Beta.
“Yes, Alpha.”
He’s a good man, but I do plan to make Jai my Beta officially, I also think I can use Justin’s help. Sebastian did say he was a good man. Trusting anyone has become difficult.
Once her shouting and screams fade away, I mull over what I learned. Gaspard… what game have you been playing, I thought I could trust you…
Now, more than ever, I feel the Sable team were behind that false kidnapping back then. I just need to know how to get to them. Perhaps Gaspard might be the answer to that…
Once Annalise is taken away, I turn to Annette.
“Annette. I have a few questions for you. Can everyone please leave? I wish to ask them when we are alone.”
“Why! Why not here in front of all?”
She sneers. “Besides, you cannot question me when there is nothing you have on me! And don’t forget I am a Luna! Your father will hear of this!”
I cock a brow. “It’s your choice, Annette. You are not on trial. I simply wish to ask a few questions. Don’t make this harder?”
I warn.
My phone beeps and I look down at it. Unlocking it, I read the message on the screen.
JAI: Gaspard is nowhere to be found, and his phone is switched off. Someone said when he heard about the hearing today, he had said he wasn’t feeling good. What’s going on, Zaia?
Fuck! I close my eyes.
Another traitor…
“Gaspard has disappeared, Annette, Clearly, he will not stick around to protect Annalise or her child. He has abandoned her and if you love your daughter, then it’s in your best interest to talk to me.”
I say quietly.
She frowns, hesitating before she sighs heavily. and nods.
“Very well then.”
She says, crossing her arms.
We wait for the room to empty, and when the door shuts, she looks at me defiantly.
“Before I even answer anything, you have to promise me Annalise will be taken care of no matter what. Can you honour that?”
There’s a determination in her eyes, a resilience that I rarely see. She is an awful woman, but she has always taken care of her daughter.
We look at one another and I realise the one thing we have in common is our determination to protect our children.
“You have my word.”
ZAIA. She isn’t innocent; I know that more than anyone. From a young age, she would be cruel to me. When I did go to Dad’s to spend a little time with him, she would let Annalise pinch and hit me, then threaten me to stay silent or say that if I told anyone, I wouldn’t get to come over.
I remember how she’d take things Dad would buy for me and give them to Annalise, and the one time I refused to, she slapped me.
I didn’t say anything, but the things she did often stuck in my mind, and as I got older, Dad stopped coming to see me… It makes sense now, but as a child, it hurt. This woman caused me pain, but ultimately it all began with Mom’s betrayal. The blame game is easy, but there are many at fault…
The silence in the room is deafening as she looks at me, arms crossed – anger etched on her face. I smile slightly, to think that this woman is my aunt…
“I won’t beat about the bush. I want to know everything and anything you might know regarding those who have used Annalise.”
I don’t think she was simply used. However, if I wanted Annette to help… 1
“We know nothing! Annalise is just a victim in all of this as well!”
she huffs, crossing her arms.
“Then I’m afraid I won’t be able to lighten her sentence. I have been doing my own detective work Annette… and I found some rather interesting information…”
I say as I walk towards her and cross my arms, imitating her. My eyes flicker orange as I tilt my head before continuing.
“After a little digging… I learned that Annalise has no right to the Toussaint empire. After all, she is not my father’s daughter.”
I whisper. Her face pales but it quickly changes to defensive.
“How do you-“
“Well, you better cooperate before I tell Father that Annalise is not his!”
I say, making sure she doesn’t think Dad told me. Her eyes narrow as I smile victoriously, pretending that I think I have won, and she clenches her jaw.
“It isn’t true! She is Hugh’s daughter!”
“Isn’t it? Shall we get her tested and make this public knowledge because rest assured if it comes out, not only will her status drop but you too shall fall from grace.”
I say quietly. Her face pales and I can hear her heart thundering violently.
“Hugh- he knows!”
she snaps. “We don’t keep secrets from one another, and he loves me! He happily accepted my daughter as his own!”
“That’s good, but it still does not make her his.”
I don’t agree with what I’m saying, but it’s the only way I know she’ll possibly help. “And I will be the alpha of that pack soon. I can make sure you have a pleasant life, or I can ruin you all on the basis of how you treated me and Mom, forcing you to leave the pack.”
“Fine. Just spit it out! What do you want from me?”
she snaps coldly.
“I want you to try to reach out to those who have put Annalise in such a position. I don’t know if they wish to help her and if they even will listen to you, but it’s worth a shot.”
I say quietly. “How am I supposed to do that?”
She asks, clearly looking confused.
I smile slightly. “I’m certain they are watching Annalise. She might have something on her phone or email. A way to contact them. You are efficient Annette, you’ll figure it out.”
“And if they agree to help her?”
“Then I’m happy for her, or they may try to silence her… and if that’s the case, I will protect her and her child. I just need you to get any information you can on them. Names, ages, who they are and what they want.”
She frowns, pondering over what I said. “What about the man who is the father of her child? Maybe he knows something,”
she suggests.
“He’s disappeared,”
I reply. I’m not sure if she’s simply a good actress or truly in the dark, but I intend to find out. “Well then, what do I do if they reach out to me?”
she asks.
“Ask them to help Annalise. Don’t threaten them. Just say Annalise asked you to reach out to them. Do not contact me, and do not try to ring me or visit me, I will arrange a meeting. myself. They are dangerous people, Annette, those who will go to any extent to get what they want. Be careful.”
“I don’t think you care if anything happens to me,”
she sneers, tossing her hair. “But your success is vital for Annalise.”
I remind her. Silence falls before she sighs heavily. “Very well, and if you get the answers, then… will you let her go?”
“As long as she doesn’t constitute a threat to anyone, I will let her go. If she and you both give me the answers that I want.”
I say.
“What do you mean, both of us? Isn’t harassing me enough!”
she hisses, stepping closer when I raise my finger in warning.
“Careful there Mrs Toussaint, You really should be more careful who you insult,”
