Chapter 475 (1/2)
As soon as Kyon returned to the mansion, a real dramatic solo performance appeared before his eyes.
Leila intoned about her unhappy fate in a ringing melodious voice: «Ah… My father is a regular bandit. He does not watch over me, his beloved daughter at all! I believed him, but it turned out that he was a scoundrel… How to live, what to do, finally tell me!»
Recently, the girl saw an image of Zosimos in the sky and was amazed to realize that her father was the head of the shadow megaclan. So that's what this ”secret work” was! Moreover, judging by the reaction of her sister, Eve already knew about this and did not say anything!
They met glances in the hallway, and Leila feigned fright, covering her mouth with her palms, then angrily frowned, pounced on the man with shining excitement eyes and twisted his arm, sitting on his back: «Oh, scoundrel, how dare you come to me?! I'll hand you over to the guards!»
«Oh no, don't do that, my bunny…» – Kyon played along lazily.
Eve watched the scene with a slight smile and giggled, covering her mouth with her palm.
After a minute of exchanging remarks in this uncomfortable position, Zosimos' face became noticeably stern, and Leila instantly lost any desire to fool around. She let the man go and was indignant: «How could you tell my sister about this, but not me?! Do you have any idea how upset I am now?!»
«Honey, I didn't tell her anything, and I wouldn't tell you. She guessed it herself.»
«Because I have brains.» – Eve pointedly tapped her finger on her temple.
«So what?! I still feel hurt…»
Kyon stroked the pixie on the head, thus successfully calming her down: «I have a small task for you. You have to protect me from Arpha if something happens.»
«Arpha?!» – the girls screamed in unison and looked at each other stunned.
Soon, the three approached the entrance to the headquarters of the megaclan.
Before opening the cherished door, Kyon told his daughters to wait outside, and he went inside and put a sound barrier behind. In the room, he found his wife gracefully crossing her legs on a chair. With her icy beauty, she, as always, attracted attention to herself. She was still in the same seductive outfit: a knee-length skirt with a slit along the thigh, patterned tights and a jacket. Her hair cascaded down to her chest. Her uncle's cracked mirror was on her neck. Now the girl was reading a book under the immodest title ”How to Educate Your Boy”.
The man and the girl met eyes.
Kyon's eyes literally radiated contempt, while Valeera seemed confused and panicked, but quickly hid the book and regained her composure.
«Zosimos, where have you been for three days?! I was so worried!» – Weber rushed to her husband's arms, but before she could accomplish her plan, she received a slap in the face.
«Open your eyes! Your Zosimos does not exist and never existed! There is only me - Kyon!» – raising the tone, Lovr said in his original voice.
Weber's heart sank painfully. She knew that her stupid act with Kyon would not end well, but she desperately believed that Zosimos would stay with her. Because of Dick, she could not restrain herself and broke down… And now it's turned into a disaster.
Valeera touched her cheek. Complex emotions, including hatred, flashed on her usually cold, beautiful face. However, the usual tenderness soon returned, coupled with the resentment inherent in a little girl dealing with her father: «Zosimos, your voice… Have you caught a cold? And why did you slap me on the cheek? It hurts me, you know…»
«Stop acting like a lunatic! You know perfectly well that I created this person for the successful introduction into the clan. At my behest, it can disappear once and for all. So why are you clinging so desperately to something that doesn't even exist?»
Valeera took a convulsive breath and stared at him with a look wet with tears: «You don't understand… My life is full of suffering. Am I to blame for clinging to a bright ray of light in impenetrable darkness? Zosimos is my only light in this cursed life… If you take him away from me, then I won't forgive you.»
Every word of the girl annoyed Kyon more and more: «You won't forgive me for what? For being a person who has feelings and pride? What makes you think I owe you anything at all when you treat the real me like a scapegoat? I'm not your toy!» – he uttered the last sentence in the voice of Zosimos.
Valeera trembled, as if she really heard the voice of her father angry at her.
«I'm not going to put up with you like that anymore. Until you change your attitude towards Kyon, until you fulfill a number of conditions, you will develop the clan alone.»
Weber's heart was bleeding. Now she felt as if she had cheated on her beloved man, and now she was being mercilessly left. With a tremor in her voice, the girl could not resist asking: «What… conditions?»
