Pregnant For My Ex-Mate Father

Chapter 5

Vivienne's POV

All eyes immediately went to Scott. At first, his eyes were on his father, Alpha Tristan, but then it moved to me. He squinted at me, then scoffed after a minute. “Really? You had to come to him,” he said, and for a moment, I was confused. What was he talking about? “Don't act like you don't know,” he barked at me.

He turned to Alpha Tristan, who now had a glass of wine in hand thanks to his Beta. “Dad, do not believe a word she says. She is just jealous of Ava,” he told Alpha Tristan, and his eyes went to me briefly before returning it to Scott.

Scott turned to me. “You came to tell him I chose Ava over you? Too bad then. He knows because I told him the truth. I love Ava. The Moon goddess chose you for me, but I don't want you. You are ugly, and I do not find you attractive,” he spat those words in my face.

I held my dress tight. Even though I did not want his words to affect me, it did. This was the person I had built so much trust in. I loved Scott. I saw myself with him. Everyone envied our relationship. People told me how lucky I was to be with him. I loved him for who he was. Not because he was the Alpha's son.

I thought we were going to be together, but he broke my heart. He chose my sister over me. And now, he was rubbing it in my face. “You are nothing, Vivienne. You cannot even hold a candle to where I am and now not even Ava,” Scott went on.

I felt a sting in my eyes and I dropped my gaze. I could not cry. I could not show him that his words held meaning to me. I could not show him, he could talk me down, and I would succumb to my emotions. I was meant to show them I was stronger. That they could do whatever they wanted, and I would not care about it. However, here I was, slowly, feeling myself fall into the embrace of my emotions.

I could feel all eyes on me, but I could not raise my head. No matter how much I wanted to raise my head and prove to him, I viewed him as nothing, I was stuck, squeezing my dress with my eyes on the floor. “What were you planning to gain from all this? Make my father scold me? Oh, thank the Moon goddess, I came just in time. Fine then. Tell him. Tell him how you only love me for my position, not for who I am. Tell him how disgusting you are and a b***h”.

“Defend us, Vivienne. You cannot allow him to speak to you in such a manner.” Maya was angry.

I was too, but what could I do? Yell? If I do, I would break down. I could cry. I didn't want to do that. I clenched my teeth. The grip on my dress was tighter. My veins popped out the more I did so. “Vivienne,” Maya called through gritted teeth.

“Ava was right about you. You are disgusting and a liar. You wanted to tell my father something about me? Tell him then. I'm listening,” he folded his arms. Waiting.

The room was quiet. Was it strange for me to expect that Alpha Tristan was going to defend me? He was the reason I was here, anyway. I would never be here if he had not called me. If he had not insisted on the doctor coming to check on me, maybe I would not have been here for this long. Why was he not saying anything?

Was he happy with the way I was being treated? I thought I saw care in his eyes, but I guess it was all in my imagination. I fooled myself once again. He was not going to care for me just because we slept once. I was his son's ex. He did not care about me. I thought Scott cared for me. I thought he would be by my side.

He was always the one to stand up for me when Ava mocked or threw insults my way, but look at the irony of it. He was the one doing it. He was the one shaming me. “I didn't come here to say anything about you,” I said with gritted teeth, slowly raising my head.

Scott scoffed, staring at my red eyes. “Are you about to cry?” he mocked. “No need for the pretense. I know who you are, and you cannot fool me with that crocodile tear, okay? Maybe you had blinded me one time, but it was not going to happen again and ever”.

“You came to tell him I rejected you. Come on. Tell him. Cat cut your tongue?” he said.

Now that I had my eyes on him, I did not know what was worse. Seeing that look on his face or not seeing it at all? He hated me. He didn't want me anymore, but why was he talking that way? Why was he acting like there was never a time that he did not tell me he loved me? Like there was never a time we talked about our future together?

I didn't have the energy. I didn't have the words to say to him. My chest was burning with hurt and rage. He was a man I once loved. I took my eyes to Alpha Tristan. He no longer held his wine glass. In fact, his eyes were glued to mine. It was squinted. It felt like he was trying to read my soul. His eyes on me were gentle. At least compared to Scott's, but he didn't defend me. And here I thought I could use him to gain revenge. Foolish Vivienne. Maybe you deserve what you got.

Scott took a step forward, and I drew my breath. He wanted to pounce on me. I knew it was time for me to leave. I didn't want to be here anymore. “That should be enough,” Alpha Tristan finally spoke. Almost immediately, I dashed out of the study, my tears rolling down my cheeks as I ran towards the exit.
