Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 285

Morgan's POV: 

I had a nightmare in which Amelia was being taken away by Larry.

Amelia was in pain because of Larry and I could do nothing to stop him.I woke up in a pool of my own sweat and realized that it was just a dream.I took a long, deep breath and let relief wash over me for a moment, but when I looked to my side Amelia wasn't there.I jumped out of bed with a startled expression, fearing the worst.I ran out of the ward and asked the maid sitting just outside, "Excuse me, have you seen Amelia? Why isn't she in the room?"

When the maid saw me, she replied, "She said she wanted to go to the garden to get some fresh air."

However, I wasn't relieved by the maid's reply.

Instead, I ran to the garden as quickly as I could.

"Amelia! Honey, where are you?"

I kept calling out to her and fortunately, I didn't have to go too far before I saw Amelia sitting on the edge of a flower bed.

"Honey, what are you doing here all alone? It's not safe for you out here.You should have told me what you wanted to go out for a walk.I would have accompanied you."

As I hugged Amelia from behind, she looked up at me and her eyes were expressionless.

"Honey, Larry's here."

My eyes widened in horror.I was shocked.I took Amelia's hands and looked her up and down nervously.

There were no signs of injury or any bruises on her.I was a little relieved.

"Honey, Larry said he was going to kill you and make me watch." Amelia threw herself into my arms.

"He gave me a month to change my mind.If I don't go back to him willingly, he will kill everyone I hold dear.Besides, only Larry has the antidote to the poison.I'll have to take the antidote once a month just to stop the pain for getting worse."

Amelia's words made my heart sink.

How could Larry be so ruthless? How could he say that he loved Amelia when all he did was cause her pain and suffering? I took a deep breath and hugged Amelia tightly.

"Don't be afraid, honey! I won't let anything happen to you.I'm going to be with you all the way.Larry's threats won't work because we outnumber him."

"But honey, he said he was going to kill you!" Amelia said with fear in her eyes.

"Larry isn't someone you should underestimate.I don't want anything bad to happen to you.I would rather be his slave than let him do any harm to you."

I shook my head and tried to comfort Amelia.

"Mr.Jones is also very powerful.We shouldn't underestimate him either.No matter how powerful Larry is, he can't fight against the whole Osman Kingdom.You need to have faith in me, honey."

I helped her get up on her feet and carried her in my arms.

"Let's go back.You should get some rest."

Amelia nodded and rested her in my arms.

I walked slowly to avoid any discomfort to Amelia.

"How could Larry force you to have an abortion without feeling the slightest bit of remorse? He claimed to love you, but never hesitated to hurt you."

"He is mentally ill, Morgan."

Amelia took a deep breath.

"I wasn't the one who broke up with him back then.It was actually his lack of courage to stand up to his father that led him to break up with me.If he had fought for me back then, perhaps I would have felt differently about him today.After he left me, it took me a long time to get over the past.Luckily, I met you not long after.After I fell in love with you, I thought I would never have to see Larry again, but I was very wrong.Morgan, a man like Larry doesn't deserve love.I regret having dated him in the first place."

I felt sorry for Larry, but Amelia was right.

He had to accept the consequences of his own choice.

I made up my mind about killing Larry.

No matter what price I had to pay, for the sake of Amelia and our dead child, it had to be done.

Only his death could give Amelia peace of mind to live her life freely.

Jennifer's POV: 

After lunch, Anthony took me to an haute couture shop to pick up a dress for our wedding ceremony.

As soon as we entered the shop, Anthony called one of the shop assistants and said, "Please show us the finest wedding dresses you have for my queen.It could be covered in diamonds for all I care.Money is no object."

Anthony looked at me and lovingly said, "Honey, I want everyone to know that my love for you is as strong and everlasting as a diamond."

I was touched by his words.

"Honey, there's no need to be so extravagant.Besides, I already know that you love me."

I held Anthony's hand gently.

Anthony smiled at me and said, "We are only going to get married once, so I might as well give you an unforgettable wedding."

"Oh, Anthony, you are so nice to me! I love you!"

I stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the cheek.

"As long as I have you in my life, I don't need anything else.You make me so happy.I'm sure I will never forget our wedding."

Anthony smiled with satisfaction and then he urged me to look for a dress of my liking.
