The Silver Crescent Alpha Prince

Chapter 194 - In What Capacity?

What is it this time?" asked Lily, as she gripped the edge of the table. The blood from her mind gushed down leaving her pale and very sick.

"I don't know Madam," said the secretary.

Minutes later when the plaintiff came to her office, she was presented with yet another document. He said in a very flat tone. "The Silver House has filed a case against you for irregularities in the Starfish Refineries."

"Wh— what?" she asked. "In what capacity?"

"In the capacity of holding two percent shares of your company," he said and slid her document folder. "Please sign it here."

When the person left, Lily Wyatt began shaking. When did he buy that many shares? Her grip on the table became loose and she saw stars in her black vision. The last she heard was a loud thud and then everything went dark. When she woke up next, she found herself on the floor in front of her office chair. It had been half-an-hour since she had fainted and no one had come to take care of her. She pulled herself weakly from the floor to sit and somehow managed to get up to sit on the chair. The day was about to become better when all of a sudden it plunged to abyss—a dark void of hell. A whimper left her throat and tears flooded her eyes. She had tried so hard to get things straight, then why was she failing every time.

Her phone buzzed again. This time the number was that of Dawn Wyatt. "You—"

"No no, Lily Wyatt. Don't say a word more. Now you listen to me. The papers have been presented to you, so you know my course of action. If I want I can throw you into jail for an attempt on my life right away. As always I have evidence, but I won't do that. I am going to make you wish you were dead for everyday for the rest of your life because I am going to unleash hell! Those folders are just the beginning. You are going to experience what you did to me. You are going to get back twice as much. Trust me Lily Wyatt, you are going to regret that you were ever born!" Dawn cut the call and turned to Daryn who was watching her with arms crossed across his chest. Her body was trembling with anger.

He walked to her and took the phone. He kept the phone on the table and kneaded her shoulders. "Baby, don't be so angry. If you want I can buy the company and the process is going to finish within a week maximum." He continued to press her neck tenderly. "You've got so many knots over here…" He kissed her lightly. "Please darling, don't be so tense."

She exhaled heavily. "I am just so annoyed at her, Daryn. This was the last she had tried to crush me. It is my chance now. I will give her hell!"

"I know…" he said and hugged her from behind. "But don't be so worked up. We are about to have a baby."

She sagged her shoulders. "You are right…"

He held her hands and took her to the sofa, where he made her sit. He pulled her legs up on the sofa and kneaded her feet. "Hmm," she hummed and closed her eyes.

"So what are your favorite things to do?" asked Cole as he hovered around Quetz. He had been trying his best to strike a conversation, but Quetz had been avoiding him.

Hunting, chasing butterflies and birds of the Ensmoire Forests, diving in River Lifye and catching fish or flying high in the skies. Quetz took a deep breath and looked at Cole. "I like hunting," he replied flatly.

Cole shuddered. What kind of a man was he? Cole had never been able to hunt a bird in his life even though his father had taken him for small adventures in the jungles. And he had never been able to appreciate his father's activities. He nodded and then sat down opposite him. "Are you working or studying? Where do you live? How do you know Dawn?" He remembered the way Dawn looked at him and added, "Dawn is happily married, just for your kind information…" He was green with envy the way he bonded with Dawn. "You shouldn't think much about her…"

Quetz raised an eyebrow. This boy had so many questions. He had been evading him since morning and was happy when he had gone to the school, but now that he was back, all his happiness receded. "I live in forests and I have studied Management. In fact I was with your sister and we studied Management together in Yorkshire."

Cole was shocked. How come Dawn never mentioned that she was studying with him? Did she have a crush on Quetz? Why didn't ever say? And why was it that this guy had come from Yorkshire to help her? He surely bore feelings for her. And what was that? "—You live in forests? Of Yorkshire?" His eyes bulged. Was this guy for real? And his jealousy returned. "Does Daryn know that you were together with Dawn in Yorkshire? But you never came to meet us there. I was with Dawn all the time!" he said as if he missed seeing him.

Quetz sighed. He got up from there and walked to the kitchen—his favorite place. "Yes, Daryn knows…" he said. "I will be leaving tonight."

Cole got up immediately and followed him all the more bewildered. Most of his questions were answered but he had a thousand more. He had to make him stay back.

"It's my birthday a few weeks from now. You must totally join the celebrations!"

"No, I can't join."

Cole's face fell, but he still followed.

When Dawn returned back that evening, she found a sulking Cole. He was stealing glances at Quetz. She communicated to Quetz, 'What happened?' She could sense their awkwardness.

'Your brother is asking me to stay back for his birthday."

Dawn's body tensed.

'I am leaving tonight,' Quetz added sensing her tension.

Dawn lowered her gaze. Quetz had to leave. She couldn't let Cole's heart break. It would be too much for him if he came to know that Quetz was a dragon.
