The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 1010

Chapter 1010: SIDE STORY (LOU): TOUCH ME

Nala didn’t know what to say at this point, she only stared at Lou in disbelieve. He was going to be with Iris, even though it was very clear that he would be an afterthought.

"You know that the queen will never see you in the same way you saw her, right?"

"I am not that dumb, Nala. I figured that out long time ago." Lou stretched his body. He still looked the same. Magic users tended to age very slow.

"Then why?" Nala felt like crying, but she held herself back. She had bottled up this emotion for so long. She was no longer her younger self, who would cry in the drop of a hat and become very impulsive. "You can have a family here, with me, with our child. We can build a life together."

"That’s the problem Nala." Lou looked at her, grinning and for a moment, Nala wanted to sucker punch his face. "I don’t want a family. I had one and that’s so bad."

"We can make it better."

"But, I still don’t want it."

"You don’t have place in her life, Lou, you know that too."

"I don’t have place anywhere, Nala."

Lou was determined that he was going to leave and there was no amount of talk that could persuade him otherwise. Nala knew since the very beginning that it was a lost argument for her.

"I only wanted to tell you that if you insisted to have that baby, you are on your own." Lou sighed deeply. "But, if you agreed to get rid of it, I will take you to Andelus continent with me."

"What will I get?" Nala felt very bitter. "Will I still be someone who warm your bed?"

"You make it sounds so bad." Lou frowned. "You will come with me and we are... just like we always are."

Nala’s chest tightened, she was not going to let this affect her, but his answer really broke her heart into million pieces and she didn’t want to cry in front of him.

"Let’s come with me, Nala. You have been living in this continent for your whole life, don’t you want to see the world out there? The world beyond the sea?" Lou looked excited with his suggestion. "I am already used to have you around. Come with me."

Nala pressed her lips, she made a point. "I can only come with me if I got rid of the baby?"

"Yes." Lou glanced at her little bump. "I don’t want a child. I don’t want a family."

"You only want someone that you are familiar with," Nala concluded it for him.

"Exactly."

The decision was not easy, the words were heavy and once it left her lips, she felt like she was going to take it back, but Nala stilled her heart.

"I choose my baby." Nala clenched her fists. "I choose my child. I am going to have my baby and if it meant it will be the end of it, so be it."

Lou stopped smiling, his expression turned serious. "You chose the baby over me."

"I chose my baby over everything else." Nala felt her heart was torn apart.

It was not only Lou, who used to have her around, the feeling was mutual. They had been together for so long, it was so hard not to have each other anymore.

They didn’t put a name in this weird relationship, but it didn’t mean their feeling was not real, but no matter how hard Nala tried, if Lou didn’t let her in, it wouldn’t work.

"It’s a goodbye then?" Lou crossed his arms in front of his chest. He stared at the woman before him. It was a weird feeling that he had for her.

Meanwhile, Nala tiptoed and pecked his lips, while whispering to his lips. "Goodbye, Lou. Those years I have spent with you were the best moment in my life."

And after saying that, Nala turned around and left, but Lou could feel how her shoulders trembled, she was crying silently, the sight of her back looked so pitiful. She looked so small and defeated.

However, the coronation was around the corner and for the past three days, Lou didn’t see Nala at all, because she moved from their shared bedroom. He knew for sure that she didn’t lack of anything, because she had access to his fortune and she could use them as she pleased.

At first, Lou thought Nala would go somewhere else, but she chose to stay in an inn, in which Lou bought the inn, so she didn’t need to pay the rent.

"Are you crazy?" Redmond scrunched his nose in disgust. "You bought an inn just because she is staying there? If you wanted to be that crazy, why don’t you just raise your own child? I bet it will be one of the craziest experiences you could have."

"Someone like you will not understand about investment," Lou grumbled. "Buying a property in a capital city is good, because the value of it will raise every year."
