Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 783

Chapter 783: 783-The Night I Have Been Waiting For

Helanie:

After I put on a beautiful golden knee-length dress and did my hair and makeup like a professional, just because I wanted to and I could, I left my room to find Norman in the living room. He was wearing a black suit and staring at the photo frames on the walls.

"Well, I thought the event was supposed to shock some people," Norman said, raising his eyebrow. "I didn’t know you would be shocking me, looking so spicy," he added, smiling a little too flirtatiously. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

I shot him a look because Vani was still around somewhere, and I didn’t want to be overly flirty with my man in front of her. I was that shy. Then Norman’s attention drifted back to the walls.

"They never had your pictures up," he said.

I scoffed. "Well, now we know why."

I gave him a look and he nodded. As soon as we turned around, after being told the guard was here with the car to escort us to the Royal Garden, I came face-to-face with Niles, and my skin tightened.

Niles gave me a very fake smile. Ever since he found out I had control over everyone’s lives now as an alpha queen, he tried hard to hide his rudeness. Even when he wanted to be harsh, he acted like he was just a strict father in the past.

"I heard you are pregnant. Congratulations," he said.

But the shine in his eyes when he said those words gave me goosebumps. It reminded me of what he had done to my mother, and how excited he used to get whenever she was pregnant. I wondered if he was still in contact with Darcy. I wouldn’t be surprised if she asked him to do something to my baby. But little did he know, his time was up.

"Thank you," I replied, folding my arms across my chest.

"Isn’t it odd how your life turned around?" he said, making me smile brightly.

"Why are you acting like I don’t know you’re not my father?" I shot back. It was so annoying that neither he nor Larissa acknowledged that the news had broken that I was a mermaid’s daughter, the daughter of Soren Vaughn, not Niles.

My father’s face hardened before he nodded. I knew he had a cunning response ready.

"It doesn’t matter whose daughter you are. For me, you will always be my daughter. I took care of you when you were a child, whether you remember or not. Strict fathers don’t get enough credit. The fun parent is always loved more." Just as I expected, he was spewing nonsense. I wondered if Larissa had scripted it for him. She must have told him exactly how to act.

"You’re right. Now that I’m becoming a mother myself, I guess I understand," I said. I had an obvious reason for agreeing. I didn’t want him to realize I wasn’t here for that. I was here for more than revenge for myself.
