Chapter 171
Cole Rush had taken Doris Wyatt from her hospital in the city of Ten. But not without the help of the young alpha of Ten, of course. The man was a little younger than his son, and a lot more open to meeting his acquaintance.
That evening, he drove back to Rush pack with Doris Wyatt in the car behind him. The woman had gotten her memory back – bless the good goddess – but it still did not change anything. He was going to take her to Rush pack because he had a lot planned for her.
In Rush pack, she was kept in the best and biggest hospital. Cole thought it best to let the woman have at least a good night’s rest. What he had planned for her was a lot, he was certain it would take something out of her, just like she had taken something out of him when she chose the vagabond, Jesse Wyatt, over him.
Alpha Cole returned to his mansion and relaxed in his suite. When his mother asked about her grandson and her great grandson, he replied with a faint smile and a kiss on both her cheeks. The woman must have known what it meant, because she did not ask him again.
“Are you sure everything is fine, Cole? I could call him and speak to him. He always used to listen to me.” His mother pressed on that evening.
Cole Rush chuckled and took a long sip from his champagne flute.
This was not like other times, but his mother would not understand.
“And you brought Doris Wyatt back to this pack? What exactly do you have planned, Cole?” She asked him again.
The man corked a teasing brow at his mother.
“You sound as though you are frightened of me, mother.” He chipped in.
She shook her head, a faint frown on her face.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
“Perhaps I should be.”
Cole replied with a small laugh. She wasn’t wrong.
The next morning, Cole made sure everything was in place. The meeting he had been dreaming of for a very long time, was happening today, this morning, in front of his very own eyes.
He dressed in his best black tuxedo and a matching turtleneck and pants. The drive to the hospital Doris Wyatt resided in was short. Once again, he ordered his men to bring the woman to him. He watched as she was led into the car in front of him. She seemed petrified, scared out of her mind. Her puny little daughter was not here to save her.
The thought of Jojo Wyatt caused his mood to turn sour.
When he was ready for the brat, he would deal with the brat.
***************
The huge iron doors of the dungeon opened up to them. Two tall and huge gaurds stood behind the alpha, while another two ushered him into dungeon of darkness, where prisoners and enemies of the royal household were kept and punished.
One of the guards behind the alpha pushed a wheelchair with a blindfolded woman in it. Doris Wyatt could not know where she was, who she was with and what she was here to do yet. It was his own sweet and pleasant surprise for her.
The woman on the chair could not keep her thoughts straight. She knew she was in Rush pack, she had overheard the nurses in the hospital say it. She also knew it was the former Alpha, Alpha Cole Rush, who had kidnapped her from Ten and brought her down to Rush.
She had not seen the man in almost thirteen years. How did he find her? What did he want from her?
She heard when the iron doors opened up and her heart started to pound in her chest. Was he going to punish her and make her pay for rejecting him all those years ago?
Alpha Cole paused in front of a cell. Through the steel bars, he could see the wretched and tattered man lying on the ground. He was in a sack cloth, his hair was a mess of brown and dirty strands. Cole felt bile rise up from his stomach, he could taste it at the tip of his tongue.
The man looked miserable, but not miserable enough.
He ordered for the blindfold to be taken off the woman’s eyes, and that was how Doris Wyatt knew who she was with. She could recognize that voice anywhere, even in her dreams. She knew he was here, she was prepared to meet him.
What she was not prepared for was the face her green eyes rested on immediately the cloth was taken off her eyes.
In front of her, now seated on the concrete ground, was a man she had hoped never to see in her life. A man whose memories she wished had disappeared completely.
Jesse Wyatt.
She stared at him, mixed emotions all erupted from her belly at once. From a deafening shock, to crushing sadness, wild anger and unbearable pain.
Beside her, Cole Rush bursted out into a series of manic laughter.
“You know, I have been looking forward to this reunion for many years, because I always believed that you two ungrateful things would find your ways back to my feet. You do know that the both of you are failures, do you not?” He spoke. He paused and leaned into Doris’s right ear.
“Neither one of you deserve to have children.”
Doris’s hands gripped the sides of her wheelchair firmly. She swallowed hard, forcing down the lump that had rised to her throat. Here, staring into the emotionless brown eyes of her husband, her mind forced her down the memory lane.
How she had done nothing but love him, even when all he did was put her through unending pain. All the times he had verbally and emotionally abused her, turned her into a punching bag, slapped her face across the wall, painted his floors red with her blood. She thought back to all the times he wished she had died, how he almost killed her… how he separated her from her children for eight years.
It was the last truth that tore her open the most. It was the one thing she would never forgive him for. She did not know what he had done to end up here, but she wished he would die a cold and gruesome death. She wished he would be left in the fields to be eaten alive by the vultures. He deserved a death as cruel as that.
Jesse was disgusted looking at the woman’s face. The man behind her did not make things any better. If he had his way, they would both be dead.
How was she even alive?
He spat on the floor in front of her. Doris flinched in disgust.
“So, you’re alive you bloody bitch. This is all your fault. I’m in here because of you! If I had never met you, my life would have been better! You ruined me with your bad luck! I am appalled just looking at you!” He screamed.
Doris blinked, but she was too overwhelmed to cry. One would have thought seeing her again would have evoked some form of remorse, even though fake. But he… he was still the same vile man she had married, even worse.
She had no words for him.
Doris turned to alpha Cole. For the first time in a long while, she looked the man dead in his eyes.
“You would not let me live or let me die. Why couldn’t you just let us be? Did you have to make our lives miserable because I didn’t want you? Did you have to come for my family? For my children?” She felt her heart shatter as she spoke.
It was too much, far too much for her to bear.
Cole scoffed and turned back to the man behind the cell. He looked just like the animal he truly was.
“Don’t blame me now, blame the one who put you in your condition. He was an animal, he has always been. I just wanted you to know the type of man he is, the type of person you chose over me.”
