Tasting All My Mates

Chapter 468

468-The Dead Brother.

Years Ago:

Author's POV:

‘Are you cozy in here?’ Marko walked into his house and asked Emelia, who had rented the house a few days ago.

‘Oh yes. It is actually a delightful place,’ Emelia forced a smile across her lips and told Marko.

‘Actually, it’s a bit far from the population. That's why Ruby-,” he paused, 'My sweet mate decided she will send you food until you get comfortable enough to get groceries, 1' he added. Ruby and Marko were extremely generous. They didn't mind if Emelia was going to pay them after two months. Even when the two needed money badly, they understood and wanted to sympathize with Emelia.

‘That's very kind of you two, but I would appreciate you calling first before coming here.” Emelia put the food down and told Marko, who understood that his arrival had made her uncomfortable.

‘Oh, of course. I am sorry for coming without informing you first." He found it odd, but then again, he wished to respect her privacy, so he agreed with her.

The way Emelia stood in her spot with her head tilted was a sign for Marko to leave.

‘Okay then, let me know if you encounter any problems,’ he stated awkwardly before rushing out of his own house. He was shocked at how unwelcoming Emelia was. Once he had run into his car, he sighed and called his mate.

‘She is weird," he told Ruby before starting the engine and leaving. After Emelia was certain he had left, she ran outside to check on her daughter. Christina was still hiding behind the tree and waiting for

her mom to call for her. NôvelDrama.Org © content.

"You can come outside now," Emelia said, calling for Christina, who did just that. Christina walked out from behind the tree and watched her mother's face for a minute before dashing into her arms.

Emelia instantly wrapped her arms around her and closed her eyes to feel her daughter. It saddened her because she had craved to hold her daughter in her arms. Even when she lost custody of her kids when they were only babies, she imagined holding them every night.

‘Come inside. It is not safe for you to be seen with me here.” Emelia held Christina's hand and made her walk into the tiny house she had rented.

*You have been staying here all this time," Christina asked her mother, looking around at the broken walls and old furniture.

‘No! I rented it a few days ago," Emelia sighed, but offered a seat to her daughter.

‘Where have you been all these years?” Christina asked her mother.

‘I have been hiding from everyone, especially Lord Shaun,” she said, a frown appearing on her forehead at the mention of him.

‘May I ask why?" Christina settled on the couch while staring at her mother without blinking her eyes.

‘He hates me, and I hate him, too.’ She said, "That man, along with many others, ruined my life, Christina. You might think your mother abandoned you, but I was never even given a chance to be with you. However, I have returned now, but I don't know how long it will be before Lord Shaun finds out about me and calls for my execution," she mumbled sadly, making Christina's heart miss a beat.

It was a horrible feeling for Christina to think she had found her mother only to lose her.

‘He cannot just execute you!" Christina laughed hysterically, tears shining in her eyes.

‘My dear daughter! He can execute a witch without having to answer anyone." As soon as she said that to her daughter,

Christina's jaw hung low.

‘You are a wi—,' Christina covered her mouth with her hands, as she never thought that would be true.

‘What you might have heard about me in bits and pieces is true. I am indeed a witch. Not just any witch, but the witch they were once supposed to crown as a mother witch.” Emelia recalled what seemed like an old memory now, but she never forgot about any of it.

‘So what happened?" Christina asked.

‘Hazel Foster happened!’ Hearing Emelia says Enya's mother’s name made Christina close her eyes and clench her fist.

‘Don't tell me that vicious woman ruined your life as well?” Christina asked, and a head nod from Emelia was all it took for Christina to grunt and get angry.

‘How many lives had she ruined?’ Christina's comment explained her anger.

‘Yet her daughter is living her best life.” Emelia shrugged, getting the attention of her daughter once again.

‘I know Enya could be very self-centered, but it is not like what her mother did is her fault," Christina excused Enya. She never truly admired Enya, but she thought her mother's actions shouldn't be the reason they should hate Enya.

Then tell me, why did you kill Zander for her if you knew she was self-centered?" Emelia asked her daughter, leaving her unsettled.

‘I heard everything, Christina. I thought you were covering your brother's muddy steps. Then what happened? Why did you kill your own brother for that witch's daughter?” Emelia had tears in her eyes when judging her daughter.

Christina was only staring at her mother with nothing but empty eyes.

‘I didn't have a choice,” Christina murmured in guilt. ‘It was all fine when he was listening to me, but then he started going behind my back just so that he could be with Enya. I was certain she would not want to be enslaved. She wanted to be in charge of the leader. While going after her, he made many mistakes, and if I hadn't killed him that day, I would have gotten killed with him. It was a hard decision that I had to take, but I hated the instant I pulled the trigger. And I hated Enya more when my brother's body collapsed," she mumbled.

”I watched him drop to his knees and stare at the blood coming out of his chest. I couldn't believe I killed him. It was always I who was supposed to kill him. But it was also true that I will never get to see him ever again and in that moment, I knew I will never be friends with that cursed bitch,’ Christina told her mother.
