Chapter 529

Penny:

She was the one we had supported against Madeline, the woman who had never shown any toxicity toward me, my unborn children, or even my husband, who had been nothing but awfully rude to her.

Yet here Kaylee was, the one we had supported nonstop, saying things that left my body numb for a few seconds.

“Watch your tongue! You are cursing my little children who are not even born yet!” I screamed at her.

I was emotional too. I was hormonal too. I did not understand why Kaylee could not understand that what happened to her was no one’s fault, not even hers.

But why was she so angry with the world? Why was she so angry with me? I was trying to comfort her even when I should have stayed away.

“Oh, fuck you and your little children! You all deserve to die!” she screamed again, causing me to clench my fist.

This was what we got for playing matchmaker. If Madeline had been here, not in decades would she have said those words.

I was finally realizing that we had made a huge mistake. Even Eldon had noticed Kaylee’s behavior, and he told me one thing.

He felt that he had been harsh with Madeline, that the Moon Goddess had chosen her because she knew Madeline would have been the perfect choice for Graham.

If only we had supported Graham and helped him stay with Madeline, things would have been beautiful right now.

“Enough,” I said, pointing my finger at Kaylee. “I will never speak with you again. You do not deserve my comfort or anyone else’s at this point. You need to spend time alone so you can connect with yourself and understand that you are hurting people.”

I still tried to use respectful words, but when I turned around, she crossed every limit.

“Oh, please, I will heal. I hope I do, mentally. But I will not let you heal. Your children, I can see them dead. I can see you crying over their bodies, like I did over mine. And then I will laugh. I will laugh when I stand in front of you,” she screamed.

“If there is any Moon Goddess, I wish and pray that she takes your children away from you!”

As Kaylee continued screaming, I could not stop myself. I swung my arm and slapped her.

The sound echoed through the room. She stumbled onto the bed, her hand pressed to her cheek and her eyes wide open.

Small whimpers left her lips before she got to her feet and looked at me with nothing but anger in her eyes.

“How dare you?” she asked.

“Not one more word, Kaylee,” I warned, pointing my finger at her. “I will tell your husband and your father-in-law what you are doing. You should remain in your room

or go to your father’s place so you can learn to be humble first.”

I started to cry as I said those words. I turned to walk away again when Kaylee got to her feet and rushed after me.

We reached the staircase when she muttered under her breath, “A woman died because of you.”

I stopped in my steps, realizing how our whole family was suffering as if we were under a curse now.

“Graham’s mother ended her life because of you!” she screamed.

I turned around and pointed my finger at her.

“I made the mistake of initiating something with an Alpha, but I was only nineteen years old. I did not know better. I am ready to take accountability, and I do not know

how to fix it. But that does not mean

I have to suffer my entire life or that

my children need to die. You are just

an evil person.”

I began speaking in haste, cursing Kaylee for putting so much stress on me.

“Well then you should die too. That

is how you will redeem yourself,”

Kaylee mocked, tilting her head

sideways and letting out a mocking laugh, trying to intimidate me.

“You know what? I hope Graham marries Madeline, because if there is any woman

who is a better choice for anyone and everyone, it is Madeline.”

I spoke those words to hurt her back because she had been hurting me nonstop,

and I watched the mocking grin leave her lips.

Then I turned around and reached the stairs, deciding never to come to the second floor again and to leave her alone.

However, I forgot she was full of animosity.

The next thing I knew, Kaylee was right behind me, her hand pressing against my back.

“Well then, I hope you never live to see it.”

As she said that, I felt a push against my back.

I immediately tried to hold on to the railing, but my hand slipped. I turned and

grabbed it with both hands.

It all happened within seconds when Kaylee lifted her leg and kicked me right in the

belly, making me lose my balance as pain shot through my body.

The hand that had been gripping the railing to prevent the fall slipped, and I felt my body tumbling backward while watching Kaylee stand at the top of the stairs.

As I landed on the ground floor, immense pain consumed me, and at the same time,

a realization struck.

It was karma for what I did to Graham’s mother by stealing her mate and for what we did to Madeline.
