Venus looked at Leyla who was crying sitting on the floor and wondered how they even got to this point.
One hour ago, Leyla who had been talking non-stop finally realized that Venus had already stopped listening at some point and she was so angry that she three a fit before breaking down to cry.
Venus was accused of so many things but looking at Leyla didn’t make her sad at all the more she looked at her. She found her pitiful and her image reminded her of her past self when she was very pitiful.
To love someone and not get your love reciprocated back was already awful enough, she knew the feeling very well.
It was quite hard for people with unrequited love and Venus decided to give Leyla some slack and forgive her. One should have a big heart and forgive as much as one can.
Leyla didn’t do much harm, so she deserves a second chance.
Venus stood on her feet and walked slowly towards where Leyla was bawling her eyes out. She knelt on the ground so that she was facing Leyla who was crying silently.
“I understand where you are coming from and where you are going. As much as it pains my heart to say this to you right now, I will still say it. I forgive you for everything that you have done to me. Let bygone be bygone, I hope that from now on going forward, you will think first before you do something that you will regret in the future.
I won’t give you words of comfort as you don’t deserve to get that from me. Just know that no matter what happens to the family, I will never abandon Livius. I will live with him and die with him.
One day you will come across someone that really loves you and you will understand that,” Venus felt dizzy just saying these mushy words.
Without waiting for crazy Leyla to respond, she got on her feet once more and left the apartment swiftly.
Although what she got from this trip was unexpected, it was still enough for her to draw a map.
On her way to the village, she couldn’t help but think of a crazy person who has a connection and who was very bold to use them. It’s been a very long time since she last talked to the other.
Venus took out her phone and typed quickly on her phone before locking the phone. She closed her eyes as she wasn’t expecting any response and when she thought that she will be sleeping soundly, she received a phone call.

She opened her eyes and looked at the phone that was ringing. Upon seeing the name, she couldn’t help but sneer but the playful monster hidden deep inside her was so happy and eager to play, so she picked up the call.
“Hello dear, how have you been?”
[……..]
“I am not so busy, let's meet this weekend. I will be donating some things at that orphanage again so come with me.”
[……..]
Venus talked for more minutes before hanging up. She was so angry but she understands that she shouldn’t show it soon or else someone will suspect her.
Before she could even do something about anything, another phone call came in and this time a smile appeared on her face.
“I thought that you will not respond,” Venus jokingly teased the other party making the bodyguards in the car shudder not knowing how to react to this side of Venus.
Venus was in a happy mood actually and at the end of the call, she made an appointment with the caller for the same day she was going to meet her first caller.
When Venus and her entourage arrived at the village, it was about to get dark and Livius wasn’t in the mansion. The butler informed her that Livius was at the main village and the traitors has been all found.
Venus was very excited to hear this news and she wanted to see for herself how Livius was going to deal with them. instead of walking or running, Alice had her drive to the main village and when she arrived, she came across a scene that she will never forget.
Everyone was gathered from young ones to old and on a platform stood Livius with his majestic aura oppressing those that were below. The second that Venus arrived, Livius spotted her immediately.
Venus didn’t want to take her husband’s spotlight so she found a chair to sit on as she was not going to punish herself by standing. As a pregnant lady, she was going to act spoiled as much as she wants.
No one chided Venus for what she did as the whole village now knows about the pregnancy.
“Some of you know where we started and how we started. We lost a lot of our friends and relatives because of those battles and through the same battles, we became who we are today.
We promised and vowed to always stick together, not betray each other, and always fight side by side with each other. And to think that in our midst, some of us wormed their way into our hearts to only become spies for those people who label us as thorns in their eyes.
How do you expect me to take this?
Because of some of you, who don’t repent and remain loyal to your masters, we lost a lot of kids and powerful fighters because you betrayed us. This isn’t all, you did a lot of shameful things in the past that caused a lot of damage to the company as well and you still have the guts to continue to live in this village?
Everyone is gathered here to watch as the punishment will be administered. There won’t be a court trial for you for the very second you betrayed my family, you were already guilty and your crime is punishable by death.
Do you have anything to say?” Livius angrily yelled as he looked at the men and women kneeling on the platform with their hands and feet tied.
These fifteen people look so ugly with their faces swollen after being beaten severely. How can Livius just give them a quick death?
“Give us answers!”
“How can you….?”
“You lied to us!”
“How are we going to live after everything you did?”
“…..”
“…..”
“…..”
