The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 41

Chapter 41: I WILL ENDURE HELL IF IT’S FOR YOU

"Don’t forget what happened to Venna, your twin siblings, Leane and all of the people that had sacrificed themselves for you." Aria reminded him over and over again about the demise of the people that Cane loved and how it was all because of Iris’s father.

Aria hugged him even tighter this time and didn’t want to let go even when Cane’s body stiffened, as he hated to be touched. All the touches that he knew in these past ten years disgusted him greatly.

"Don’t forget about what I had to go through for you and what Ethan and Jace had to endure to keep you safe, what Gerald had done to us." Aria lifted her head and then looked at Cane with her teary eyes. "After what her father had done, how could you treat her so nicely?"

Cane’s expression remained the same, as he listened to what she was saying, but he patted her back when she started crying in order to give her consolation.

"You treat her so nicely, giving her a room and taking care of her. People have become agitated because you helped her and didn’t put her through the same misery like us!" Aria became emotional. "You even helped her to escape from the party. How could you do that to the daughter of the person that had given us hell for years? Have you forgotten about what happened?"

"I have not forgotten what happened." Cane patted her back and let Aria rest her head on his chest, as he let her slide her hand under his clothes and tempt him. He could feel her hand against his chest.

Aria made sure that he didn’t forget about it at all. This was their past, this was their revenge and he must not forget.

"Do you remember that day at the mines? When you are not allowed to rest or given food or water. They literally wanted to starve you to death." Aria could see the memory return to Cane. "Do you remember that moment?"

"I will never forget that." Cane’s cold demeanor disappeared, there was a little bit of warmth in his eyes when he stared at Aria’s face.

"On the third day, under the scorching sun, you could barely move." Aria ran her hands down his belly and back to his chest again. "Do you remember what happened to little Venna? She is still not back to her right mind after what they had done to her. After what you have done to her." Aria took a deep breath, tears rolled down her cheeks.

Cane’s body stiffened when he heard her mentioning Venna. That was a big scar that he would never forget.

"She tried to kill you for a mistake you didn’t have a part in."

Cane remembered that day clearly, like it just happened yesterday and it erased all the coldness in his eyes, replacing it with pain.

"It was me, who bandaged your wounds, it was me and Amee, who told you to keep strong and not give up. I was there for you and I am always here beside you. We have gone through so much together, Cane. We have gone through hell together and that hell was given by Gerald!"
