Chapter 6
Abigail frantically shook her head. “Malik, don’t let Lavinia manipulate you!“[]
“Ive been with you this whole time–how could I possibly hurt your baby!“]}
I walked straight up to Abigail and used every last bit of strength I had to slap her as hard as I could.]
The force sent her sprawling to the floor, and a drone remote control tumbled from her jacket.[]
I turned back to face Malik.
“You want to know how your son died? Take a look.“[]
Malik stood there like a statue, too terrified to move. Marcus had to order his men to pin Abigail down and grab her phone.[]
The drone footage had automatically synced to her device. When they connected it to the big screen, everyone in the room watched in horror.
The video showed my helpless baby dangling from the drone by his neck, swinging through the air like some sick toy.[]
Then, after my desperate begging, the baby was suddenly released and plummeted to the ground.
The footage captured everything–me falling from the second–floor window, crawling with my broken body to hold my dying child, desperately searching for help that
never came.
Elena couldn’t take it. She collapsed, unconscious from the shock.[]
“You fucking psychopath! I’ll rip you apart!”
Malik lunged forward and kicked Abigail with savage force.
“You worthless piece of shit! How dare you touch my son!”
Abigail curled into a ball, clutching her stomach.]
“Malik, please! I’m pregnant with your baby!“]
Malik hesitated, his rage warring with concern for the unborn child.
“That’s impossible!” Marcus stepped forward, his voice cutting through the chaos.
“No one without the Moon Goddess’s blessing can carry Hawthorne blood! This has been absolute
“Whatever bastard is in your belly sure as hell isn’t ours!”
Malik’s eyes blazed. “Get the medics. I want an immediate paternity test!“[]
As they dragged Abigail away, Malik dropped to his knees in front of me, slapping himself over
“Lavinia, God, I’m so sorry!”
“I should never have listened to her lies!“]
“Please, baby, forgive me! We can try again–we can have another child!“]
Looking down at his pathetic, tear–streaked face, all I felt was disgust.
I rolled up my sleeve, exposing arms that looked like pincushions from countless needle marks.

and over.
“Malik Hawthorne, you drained every drop of blood and every tear from my body. I curse your entire pack–may you all burn in hell!“[]
The medic rushed back before I could say more.[]
“Alpha! The test is conclusive–you’re not the father
Marcus gestured to his men, who immediately began investigating further.
Malik let out an agonized howl
“Fuck! I screwed up so bad!“[]
“That lying bitch played me, and I killed my own son for it!“]
Marcus continued beating his son, but it was far too late for regrets.]

“Alpha! Hawthorne Group stock is in free fall!“]
“Alpha! Every business partner just canceled their contracts!“]
“Alpha! The pack elder just died at the medical center!”

The disasters hit like dominoes falling. Malik crumpled to the ground, completely broken.
Every Hawthorne in the room dropped to their knees before me, including Marcus.
“Lavinia! Please, for all the years we’ve been family, give this fool one last chance!“]
“Punish him however you want! Just please–lift the curse!“]}]
I laughed coldly as I looked down at their desperate faces.
Remember, Malik? I told you my blood comes with a price. Well, payment time has arrived, and guess what? You can’t afford what you owe.
I turned and headed for the door.
Two steps later, the world tilted sideways and everything went black.
