Chapter 153


    Read Taming Darkness By Jessica Hall Book 3 Chapter 28 – Porter


    That little b*tch had to be lying! I knew what Darius had shown me. My wife was nothing but a c*nning


    wh*re. That woman had never been worthy of me, and neither was her bas*ard child! I was not in the


    wrong about this, I was the one wronged! All those visions? LIES.


    I stormed down the hall until I spotted Lidia in theb with vials on every shelf and counter. She was


    inspecting one and eyeing the contents when I entered the room. She didn’t even bother ncing up.


    “Did you know about my wife? Did you know that she was forced to sleep with those pieces of sh*t?” I


    snarled. I couldn’t keep the rage from vibrating through me. I needed her to verify this was all a lie, so I


    could focus on our important work.


    Lidia chuckled, swishing her little bottle around. “Did you believe you were kept on because you’re just


    so highly valued and skilled?” she giggled. “Oh, Porter. You are a sl*ppy drunk, worthless, really. You


    were scheduled to be sacked forever ago. That woman begged and pleaded on your behalf.” She holds


    the vial up, gazing at its contents before setting it down.


    “I always thought people exaggerated when they described people offering anything in order to protect


    loved ones. She was on her knees, her hands sped above her head, and she begged that she would


    do anything if I kept you on. Quite frankly I think she wasted her time, she would have been better off


    with you dead,”


    “Although, it did p*ss me off when she offered herself up to my husband, although sharing her was fun,


    b*tch is good at eating p*ssy,” Lidia snickered. I feel bile rise up my throat and my hands clench. I wanted


    to kill her, yet she wouldn’t even turn, unfazed by me behind her.


    “Honestly porter, your wife had more c***ks than she had feeds, ask half the council, she is the only


    reason you didn’t cop the death sentence when you robbed Xandrius and betrayed him, also the onlyThis is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    reason Greyson stopped your a*s being put in the incinerator,”


    This had to be some sick joke, I stared at her, her words echoing in my ears. Was my boss really


    iming that what happened to my mate was my fault? That couldn’t be possible. She had to be lying.


    There


    is no way in hell that wh*re would have stooped that low for me, she did it because she liked it. She


    wanted to trick me into raising her bas*ard son! Lidia and her daughter were both liars, and I wasn’t


    going to believe either of them. “No, you’re lying! She only wanted to trick me!”


    She set her bottle down and turned toward me, hands on her hips and a mocking smile on her lips. “Did


    you know that he was to be the one that took your head? You weren’t going to be merely fired of course,


    you were to be executed, and he was the one that was in charge of that. In fact, if she hadn’t spread her


    legs for him, you wouldn’t be standing here and sharing my air. From what I’ve heard of that night, she


    was highly skilled. She impressed him so much that she was passed around like a party favor, everyone


    got a taste, and you got a promotion from it. You could say she sucked and f***ked your way to the top.”


    Lidia sneered.


    I stared past her, trying to let her words sink in. I’d thought she’d deny it instantly, that she would tell me


    that b*tch of a daughter of hers was lying, but that’s not what she was saying. She was almost proud of


    it. Proud of using my wife like everyone else did.


    “She should have left you to your fate, Porter, she was more useful to me than you’ve ever been. s,


    she tried to save your life and how did you repay her?” she shook her head and tsked. “Killed by the very


    man she was trying so desperately to save. Such a pity.”


    I hit my limit. I couldn’t listen to another word she said. All I could think about was every moment I’d


    spent with my mate before I’d turned on her. Every smile, every


    caress, every sweet kiss. A growl tore out of my throat and I lunged at Lidia. I tried to wrap my hands


    around her throat but in the middle of my pounce, she sted me with her magic, knocking me back first


    into the table. Some of her precious bottles were thrown to the ground and shattered by my weight.


    I grunted, getting to my hands and feet, and st*ggered to get back to her. With a grunt I rushed at her


    again, shoving her into the shelves when something stabbed me in the side of my chest. I nced down


    to see a syringe sticking out, the plunger already pressed. My vision was already tunneling as I fell


    heavily to the floor.


    Lidiaughed, “You really thought I wasn’t ready for this? You really are pathetic. You deserve to suffer


    and die.”


    Breathing was bing hard, and my vision was fading in and out. I could barely make out Lidia


    walking away, leaving me on the ground in the midst of her broken beakers to die.


    No, I wouldn’t let it end like this. I wed the ground, dragging myself to the foot of the counter, and I


    struggled to lift myself off the ground. More vials teetered from their ce above me. I stared up at one


    that was behind thick ss and froze. I closed my eyes tight and reopened them in case it would change


    what I was looking at.


    The writing on the vial was simple, but it made my blood turn to ice in my veins. gue One. All of this


    time I had truly believed Xandrius had been the one that started the gue, that he’d started everything.


    I sagged against the counter. I was a fool, no, worse than that, I was a murderer. I’d killed my wife and


    ced my son in a situation to lose his life and mate. And for what? Because of a lie. One I’d used to


    justify killing her and destroying Lycus. All of this was my fault. I deserved death for everything I’d done


    and oh so much more.


    Yet, I needed to hold on long enough to pass on this proof. My life had been wasted, but I wasn’t about to


    let that crazy b*tch get away with what she had done.


    Time flied by and I tried to focus on breathing. My limbs quivered when I moved but I forced myself to


    study the rest of the shelves. From the corner of my eye, I spotted it. Hope blossomed in my chest, not


    for me, but for the future of the Fae.


    It was up above me, but I could just make it out. Aleera’s name was stamped across it as well as


    numbers, and more importantly, it had the word antidote. I pushed all my strength into standing as high


    as I could and I reached for it, I grabbed the precious bottle and clutched it to my chest, almost falling


    back down in the process.


    If Lidia thought I would curl up in a corner and die quietly for her, the b*tch had no idea what she’d done


    by revealing the truth to me. I would hold on a little longer, and I would do this one small thing for the


    chance to make at least one thing right. I only hoped Lycus could get her in time with his mates to save


    Aleera before it was toote.
