Chapter 61
Lia pov.
“A what!” All of them ask at once. A good smile tugged at my face. Dean is the definition of shock and anger. Well, Lorenzo is quiet for the first time since I knew him. His mouth is slightly open, revealing his extent of surprise. Luca's eyes are wide in the face, and I think it is about to fall out of his eye socket.
I burst into laughter. Dean narrows his eyes, and for some reason, the scene is very funny. I burst into laughter the second time, I laughed and laughed and laughed. I stopped to examine their faces and burst into laughter.
“Are you joking?” Luca asks. His voice is soft, almost like a whisper.
My smile widened. Luca's voice is never soft. It's always rough even in his vulnerable moments.
“He asked you a question!” The obnoxious twat called Lorenzo shouts. I roll my eyes. Seriously, why does he always have to be this annoying every time?
“Lia” Dean growls. I smile. Last week he was trying to rape me and this week I am rendering him speechless.
I stop smiling; the smile washes off my face in a second and is replaced with a blank, emotionless face.
“You heard me, Dean. I need a divorce. I am asking for a divorce. We are not even mates, so it's not going to affect you, ” I explain in a cold voice.
I should also tell him that if he does not do as I say I would tell the whole park the way he treats me or maybe ask the moon goddess for a curse on him.
Men like him are not meant to live. “Who convinced you into this? Luca? You want to leave an Alpha for a rogue?” He asks his tone laced with mockery.
I am tempted to tell him that Luca is not just a rogue anymore that he is a hybrid but that would make Luca angry with me so instead I bit my tongue till it almost drew blood.
“Well, whomever I want to follow after leaving you is none of my business, and just so you know. If you took your time to examine Luca's face when I made the announcement. You would discover that he was as surprised as you are”.
Just as I expected, Lorenzo opened his mouth to talk. Gosh! I don't even know how I hate Lorenzo more than Dean despite all he did to me.
Maybe it is because Lorenzo is like a baby who is clinging to Dean for help and would do anything to remain in his good books.
“You do know that is not possible. He can banish you”
My eyes darted to Luca's own. He swallows hard at the threat, his hands tighten around the door knob and for some reason, this is suddenly too attractive to look at. He is wearing a white long sleeve but I can still see his muscles inside.
Lorenzo bangs the table .“Answer me, and, stop staring at your husband’s cousin when he is here!” He shouts his voice containing venom and anger.
I roll my eyes as I reluctantly take my eyes off Luca and back to Dean.
“Lorenzo!” Luca warns his voice is lethal with anger.
Lorenzo stands up and walks towards him “What? What are you going to do? Kill me because I called her a whore? Or what. Huh, you are the one who convinced her to this nonsense idea you should at least stand up for her!” He shouts as if he made any sense from what he just said.
Luca releases him from the door, his hands fall to his waist, and then he pinches the bridge of his nose. “I did not conceive her into this and I don't even know what she is doing. I can't read her mind, but what I do know is that if you say another humiliating word against her, there will be a bloodbath here, and trust me, I will win. I might be a rogue but I will win” he warns.
Lorenzo curls his hands into a fist and sits down. The whole time Dean’s eyes have been on me.
“If I divorce you, who will you be with?” He asks calmly, drumming his pen on his table.
I shrug. “Luca,” I answered. The name flows out of my mouth in melody.
“Luca” he repeats as he nods his head. His hands are still drumming on the table.
He moves his eyes from mine to Luca's own. “Is this what you're doing?” He asks.
Luca shakes his head. “No,” he answers. His voice is low as if he is gaining cold feet about it.
I sigh. He could say before everyone that he did not want me. Will I be heartbroken?. Yes. Will I be surprised? No. Why? Because all Attic men are hypocrites.
I would just either tell Finn when he comes that I have a child for Dean or run away. Either way, I am escaping. I don't think I would be able to watch his betrayed face for a while.
As if Dean senses my insecurity, he asks, “Do you want to? Do you want to marry her? Is she a sort of vengeance for Jenny? I thought my mother was enough?” He asks, and for some reason, Dean's voice is filled with pain.
A moment of silence passes, and then another passes; dread creeps into my skin. I closed my eyes for a while waiting for him to tell me no. To show me that, for once, I have done something stupid again.
“Answer me!” Dean shouts.
“At first I did it as revenge to you for Jenny. Then I truly fell for her regardless of who she is to you. So she is not for vengeance," he says, leaving the part of marriage.
Tears flood my eyes as I suddenly realize my worth to him. He has indirectly said he loves me, but I am not someone to keep.
Dean opens his mouth to talk again but I open the door and leave.
“Lia! Lia!” Luca calls but I am already running to my room.
