The Alpha King's Hated Slave
The Alpha King’s Hated Slave Chapter 302

Hours later, the sun is down. The moon rose high in the sky, glowing beautifully with the stars surrounding it. Anarieveta got down from the carriage, paid the carriage-rider some coins, and watched him drive away.

Then, she entered the huge property of the Raskins. Staring at the elegantly decorated big home, she contemplated knocking on that huge door several feet away from her.

There’s no turning back now. Her baby, Merrily, needs her.

With that in mind, she covered the distance and knocked on the door, her heart in her throat. The door swung open.

Gedony Raskin stood tall behind the door. The sleepy look fled from his eyes as he saw Anarieveta standing uneasily behind his door.

When he sent out that crazy message about Merrily being sick and needing her, he never expected that she will come running at the dead of the night to his place. His heart filled up with joy and combusted.

“I apologize for calling in late on you at this time, but I got your message and—”

She cut off suddenly as he drew her into the house in one swift moment. The next, he had her up into his arms and his lips covered hers.

He was kissing her hungrily, his hands everywhere. Her senses bombarded by the feel of him, she kissed him back.

Then, she tore her lips away from his and stepped back, “No, no, Gedony, this is not right…!” The cry tore from her lips.

“Ana…” He reached for her again, but she stepped back, battling herself.

“I don’t like the way you make me feel! I don’t like that you make me feel this way!” Racking shaky hands through her hair, her eyes pleaded with him, “Don’t do this to me, Gedony.”

He kissed her again. This time longer and more thorough than the first time. She responded helplessly, kissing him with all the hunger he invoked in her that refused to abate.

What seems like forever later, they pulled back, breathing hard. Foreheads pressed together, they tried to catch their breaths. Her arms were wrapped around him, and Anarieveta has no idea how her hands got there.

“Where are the kids?” She asked in a whisper.

“They’re asleep in their rooms.”

A deep breath. “Merrily wasn’t sick, was she?”

“Doesn’t mean she needs you less, Ana. I know, it was very manipulative of me to try and bring you here using that excuse, but I needed to see you badly. You have been avoiding me.”

“That’s because I’m afraid of this,” her hands swept through the air helplessly, “this, between us. I have the rest of my life planned out, but here you are trying to disrupt it and tear down everything I’ve built. You bulldoze your way into my life all of a sudden, and now, I can’t stop thinking about you.”

Tears filled her eyes, “I’ve fallen in love with you. Again. This is not something I want, Gedony.”

“Why? Why don’t you want to be with me that much?” He palmed her shoulders and shook them, “I love you too, Ana. I never loved loving you.”

“I stopped loving you and fell in love with another. It was a disaster. I made so many mistakes at that time, I fell into this dark pit because of it. I don’t want that to happen ever again.” She swiped the tears from her eyes, “Don’t say you love me, Gedony. You don’t know what I’m capable of. You don’t know my past.”

“Whatever it is you have done are all in your past. All in the past, Ana. I don’t care about your past no matter how shady you think it is. Because no matter how bad your past is, it IS in the past. Here is the present. All I want—all I plead for—is a future with you.” Taking her hands into his, he squeezed softly, “Please, Ana.”

“Oh, Gedony…” She was torn. Anarieveta wants to spend her life with him so badly, the need made her body shake.

“I need you. My children need you too.”

“I can’t give you more children.” She confessed softly. Tearfully. “I had multiple miscarriages, my womb damaged severely, it had to be flushed out from me or I would have died. I can’t give you more children, Gedony, is this the kind of woman you want to spend the rest of your life with?.”

He shook his head adamantly, “I don’t want more children, Ana, you don’t have to worry about me. I don’t want more.”

“R-Really?” sniff, sniff, “What happened?”

“After Yeaha died, I mourned her greatly. Ours was an arranged marriage, but her death still hurt. Six years after her death, I met Karadona, the youngest daughter of the Reeze family. We favored each other, so, she became my mistress. I wasn’t ready to marry again then. She birthed Aiden and Merrily.”

Pain flashed in his eyes. “She died while birthing Merrily. I was right there, but I could do nothing as life slipped from her. She was in so much pain. She lost too much b***d…”

Her heart reached out for him, “I’m so sorry,”

He blinked hard, warding off the age-old pain, “Me too. So, I don’t want to go through that again. Watching a woman I care for go through that again…? Knowing that there’s a big possibility that she’ll die? I can’t bear it twice. My children are my world, Anarieveta, I can’t have it any other way. But I don’t want more, so, you needn’t doubt my love for you because you can’t give me more children. Give me and my kids a chance to be in your life, Ana.”

Before she could respond, a sleepy Merrily came out of her bedroom in her nightclothes, rubbing her eyes.

“Papa…? Who is that…?” But as she asked, she saw clearly who it is. Her eyes widened, “Miss Ana!” she flew across the bedroom towards her.

Anarieveta bend and lifted the girl into her arms, hugging her tightly. She allowed her love for this girl to wash over her as she held her, “Yes, it’s me, Merrily.”

“Oh, Miss Ana, don’t leave again. I missed you so much!” Her tiny voice wobbled.

Vetta’s heart swelled with love.

So, what if she can’t have her own children? She has two children who she loves with all her heart right here. Two children who love and need her just as much as she does them.

The emptiness in her stomach where her womb is supposed to be will always be a reminder of the bitter woman she was before.

A woman, she should never ever be again.

“Merrily, honey?”

“Yes, Miss Ana?” She breathed against her neck.

“Would you like me to marry your father and be your mother?” Her teary eyes held Gedony’s as she asked in a gentle voice.

“Yes! Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes!” Merrily was bobbing her head vigorously to emphasize her answer, her hair flying around. The girl sounded like she was crying and she let out her heart. “Yes, please! Please, be my Mama, miss Ana! I promise to be a good girl, I promise to do all you say! Please, don’t ever leave me…”

Anarieveta began weeping then, “I will always be here for you, my baby. Oh, my baby…”

She’s mine. Gedony’s happiness knew no bounds. He wasted no opportunity getting on his knees and asking her to marry him anyway, to make sure he gets his proper answer.

“Yes, I will marry you.” She answered then, a teary but radiant smile on her face.

Then, he was hugging her and his daughter. This life can’t get any better.

**********

They got married three weeks later. It was a big ceremony, attended by many.

King Lucien and his family were present. Queen Danika was her maid of honor, a position she held with pride and happiness… especially seeing the huge happiness on her Anarieveta’s face.

Declan’s family was present too. Kamara and Anarieveta made peace over the years. Kamara hasn’t stopped thanking her for saving Declan’s life even after all these years. Baski’s family was present. Corna’s family. Sally and her family.

Anarieveta’s students and their parents were present. So many Privileged families, even Royal families from other Kingdoms that are friends with the Raskin’s family showed up.

There were so many people, and even though Anarieveta had wanted a simple wedding with few people, she couldn’t be more happier seeing all that crowd. It made her teary too, seeing that she has all these people.

It is the happiest day of her life.

And as she kissed her husband after exchanging her vows, she believes strongly that the rest of her life with her new family will be just as happy and as beautiful.

And indeed, her belief turned out to be true.

This is the Final End.

The Alpha King’s Hated Slave has officially ended.
