BXBX NOVEL Chapter 277 - Betrayal?
This topic was irritating Adrianna. It had been so many days since she had married Dmitri. He had marked her and yet every time she face Cora, somehow this topic would emerge. But why would Dmitri two-time? Did she miss anything when she was in the academy?
Dmitri re-read the letter. It was in Keisha\'s handwriting but why would she accuse him of forcing him on her? Every time she advanced towards him, he only stepped back. "Mother, who gave you this letter?" he asked.
"Can I see the letter?" asked Adrianna. Dmitri gave her the letter. Adrianna read the entire letter and then in the end she saw the lines, which invited glares from Cora. "Dmitri never loved Adrianna. He married her to win over Niiya, who was in love with Adrianna."
"This letter is ridiculous!" shouted Adrianna. "Cora, can\'t you see that this letter holds no meaning? Clearly this letter is written with the intention of creating doubts in the minds of people around."
"I am not talking to you Adrianna. I am talking to my son! You have always clouded his reasoning. Who knows what curse have you cast on Dmitri? He actually fell for you that time!" lashed Cora making an ugly expression.
Her words were so harsh that Dmitri\'s brows furrowed and his expression turned cold.
Cora turned to Dmitri and said with a raised voice, "Back then you didn\'t know what is good and what is not. During the wedding things go well with even that Shaman telling that Adrianna wasn\'t a good match for you. I don\'t thing Adrianna wants to live a good life with you! Why are still holding on her? You should leave her as soon as possible! There is no limit to the number of women who want to marry you. In the werewolf realm there are numerous who would run to you at the drop of a hat! But Keisha is the best. I knew that you loved her. Dmitri, I don\'t mind you going irrational for one. Its okay, you are young and you made mistake by marrying Adrianna, but now is the time to rectify it!"
"Mother!" shouted Dmitri. "You are going beyond my patience limit. I am well aware of how important Adrianna is in my life. You don\'t have to worry about it." Dmitri\'s initial confusion about the letter was long gone.
Cora sulked, "Dmitri, don\'t feel so offended with what I am saying. I am speaking only as your mother and I feel for you."
Adrianna asked Cora once again, "Who has given this letter?"
"Ookashi!" blurted Cora.
Adrianna was shocked. How the hell did Ookashi get this letter? Did Keisha write it and gave it to Niiya?
It took two minutes for Dmitri to understand what must have happened. Keisha must have tried to convince Niiya with her twisted theory. Then Niiya must have asked her to prove herself, however she chose to rather write the letter and run away instead of confronting. After all why would she bother about their relationships once she was gone?
Adrianna read Dmitri\'s thoughts and all she did was to walk away from there. "Deal with your mother!" she mentally communicated to him rolling her eyes.
"Mother, I think you need to go on a holiday," said Dmitri with a cold expression.
"What do you mean Dmitri?" asked Cora becoming anxious. "Is that your wife\'s command?" Cora actually looked worried now.
"The letter here is obviously an attempt to sabotage our relationships for personal benefits. I have never forced myself on Keisha. Instead she had forced herself on me number of times. Every time I had told you this problem, you just didn\'t listen to me because all you wanted was that I should marry Keisha even if I didn\'t like her. Being a werewolf, don\'t you know that if after marking your soul mate accepts the mark, a soul bond is formed? If the mark is not accepted, it only shows as scars in the skin, but if it is accepted, it looks as though you were born with it? You have seen my mark on Adrianna. What does it look like to you?
"You are so blinded by Keisha\'s manipulations that you refuse to see your son\'s emotions," Dmitri almost shouted making Cora cringe.
"You should know that it was Keisha who funded the rebellion and that too with the gems that you have given to her to buy jewelry. All she wanted was chaos. She funded Kuro and spread the information that it was Adrianna who had funded her father\'s rebellion against her own husband."
"This can\'t be true," said Cora as she held on to a sofa behind her and then sat down on it, her legs going wobbly.
"If this isn\'t true, did Keisha ever show you the jewelry she bought?"
"No…"
"Keisha has manipulated you every time. You had given her a bagful of precious stones from our treasury and she gave some of them to Kuro. When I discovered her betrayal, she had run away."
"Betrayal?" Cora\'s eyes became moist.
"Yes, she used Niiya to run away!" replied Dmitri hiding that she was in fact trapped in a desert
