Chapter 73 Exposed Intentions
"Just shut up, you punk! You did not snatch my girlfriend, I dropped that trash into your bin."
Kayden shouted with his index finger pointed towards Aiden. He was in utter rage and did not want his ego to be thrashed like that in front of Medusa. It was beyond his ability to swallow that Aiden brought up his story of his failed love in front of Medusa.
Medusa was stunned on the other hand and could not speak anything. The succubus stared at Kayden and slowly figured out that he was only concerned about his image. And it did not matter to him how many women he was seeing. Only thing he was worried about was how glorious his image was and how it changed with the newly found identity.
"Hah! So you admit that we both are victims? And I have nothing to do with Medusa?"
Aiden stepped forward while wiping off the blood from the corner of his lips. There was a sarcastic expression on his face which indicated his unsaid victory. However Medusa was standing there shifting her gaze from one man to other in shock.
She had no clue that despite her efforts of clearing up the things and avenging Kayden, they both would still be having a cold war and holding grudges against each other. Aiden had barely managed to stay put on his feet when Kayden punched him on the right cheek once again. He was literally using Aiden as the punching bag.
"Even if I believe in you, you are also a victim. I still don't trust you with Medusa. And I don't want to hear her name from you anymore."
Kayden scolded him as Aiden staggered and fell on the floor with his weak body. Due to the spell and constant beating Aiden's body had grown weaker. It was mainly because of Medusa's spell which absorbed most of his life force.
Aiden managed to lift himself by supporting on his palms when he spit blood. And stood up from the floor with his sharp gaze darted towards Kayden. Medusa stood there without saying anything because whatever she had assumed about Kayden and Anna turned out to be a lie.
"Fine! Since you have an unhealthy obsession with Medusa and don't trust her, I won't say anything. It's now between you and her."
He bluntly said those words and made sure his voice was loud enough for Medusa to hear.
Kayden was angry over the words and the claim he made regarding his obsession and treatment towards Medusa. Whereas the succubus was taken aback and realized that whatever Aiden just said was absolutely true.
She became quiet for a while trying to understand if Kayden truly ever acknowledged her as a partner or more than a servant. Medusa wanted to explain to Kayden initially that nothing questionable happened between them. But hearing Aiden saying about trust she changed her mind. It was necessary now to test Kayden's trust over herself.
"Mind your words, Aiden!"
Kayden reached for his collars and pulled Aiden to slap him, but this time he blocked his hand by grabbing Kayden's wrist. Medusa could clearly see that he was not in a stare to fight Kayden. Also she did not want any unnecessary damage caused to the office room.
The succubus instructed Aiden to leave with a nod which he immediately followed. He jerked Kayden's hand and headed towards the door, but before leaving Aiden made sure to repeat himself.
"I will just leave, since you are so egoistic to even understand things right now."
He gave a sarcastic grin to Kayden acknowledging that suddenly how high and mighty he had been acting. Aiden felt it as his responsibility to remind him about his status. Undoubtedly he was unable to see or sense the changes in Kayden's body or aura.
"It's just laughable how a person like you is acting so high and mighty arrogantly with no powers."
Kayden attempted to leap towards him but Medusa grabbed his arm to pull. Aiden keenly glanced at the act and concluded that she acted about Kayden despite how badly he had been treating him.
Aiden wanted to protect his mistress and now it was clear to him that Medusa desired Kayden. Thus Aiden decided to invoke affection in Kayden's heart regarding Medusa. Due to the master- servant bond caused by the spell, Aiden was bound to solve Medusa's worries.
The door opened and Aiden left the office room, leaving Kayden bubbling with anger. Whereas Medusa pulled him as Kayden immediately reached for her shoulders. He knew that it was necessary to keep her around, which was definitely not because he loved her. But Medusa was his only option who could serve as mentor for his incubus side.
"Why did you stop me? I could have just broken his bones, so he would not dare to spout nonsense again."
Kayden burst on Medusa for stopping but that was all he was worried about. And the particular thought disheartened the succubus who got played by the words said by Kayden.
Medusa glanced at him straight into his eyes as she tried to control her tears. Kayden was taken aback by her vulnerable gesture. It was hard to believe that she was the same woman out there handling Aiden and inside the office she was nearly crying.
Kayden felt an uncomfortable feeling in his chest and decided to inquire immediately. After all, he was her mate and needed to know what was troubling her. Whereas Medusa was unable to figure out now whether Kayden was truly concerned about her. Or his words had a hidden motive behind.
"What? What happened?"
He held Medusa by shoulders and gently shook the succubus when a tear crawled down her cheek. Medusa immediately pushed him away and turned around to sneakily wipe off the tears. It was disheartening for her to see that Kayden was only using her for his own benefit. Just like he was toying with Lydia for the biggest favour she could provide him.
