457 7.81 – If Only Ezikiel Was a Big And Rich Like Other Alphas – War Of The Wickeds

????? Author’s note ??????

Lu Kai didn’t forget about how he promised to show his devotion to his wife in her worst state, but he didn’t say as whom (chapter 7.39). How could Silvia be in her worst state if she had the male lead’s support? Ezikiel was the best choice. She couldn’t flaunt the omega boy before the public eye and couldn’t take advantage of him either. That’s what his wife would receive for sharing an identity with someone else.

?????????????????????

In a world where cash no longer existed and all transactions were made wirelessly, there was no way for Silvia to make private, untraceable transactions (including the illegal ones in the black market). For example, she could no longer buy poison and other types of drugs to use on her twin brother due to the collar around her neck.

At the same time, news began to spread around that Nathaniel was treating Silvia differently compared to other people more than ever before. When she was nearby, he would suddenly become distant and cold like a winter night.

|Can you at least tell me what I did so wrong and how I can make it up to you?|

Lu Kai did say that he liked to be the one being chased, but not in the way Silvia had been doing it. His wife literally sent a girl in full yandere mode at him. Silvia was pushing for it too hard, always asking for help and wanting things from him in various ways, either by getting naked or with pitiful cries. She would also want to kill anyone who would go near him.

|I care about you, and I’m not going to apologize for it. Just so you know, I’m pissed too.|

He was so going to put on a silent war too, if she liked it so much.

.....

Silvia had a big dirt stain under her middle fingernail and was trying to scrub it off, “Nathaniel, I was wondering if you could—” She trailed off, looking around anxiously, “Take a look at my finger. I can’t seem to get rid of this pain.”

Usually, Lu Kai would just shake her off, but this time, it was hard to unsee Dai An’s passive-aggressive answer. Those were only his assumptions, it was impossible to sense Dai An’s presence.

Nathaniel’s eyes narrowed, looking at the paint on Silvia’s middle finger, “I’ve asked you nicely to stop bothering me, but you don’t seem to get the message.”

Silvia stammered. She was taken aback. She didn’t know what she had done to bother him, “I need you in my life. Please…Nathaniel, don’t be selfish. I know you still care about me—,” having her limbs frozen in place, she pleaded with her eyes.

Nathaniel had enough, “I can’t stand the way you always hover around me, trying to talk to me when I clearly don’t want to talk. If you speak to me again it won’t be only your legs that stop working but also your mouth.”

His patience was wearing thin and he was getting frustrated with how she thought her old tricks that didn’t work on others would magically work on him.

“You took it all wrong, I didn’t mean to—” Silvia flinched from his harsh stance, tears pilling at the corner of her eyes, wondering what she had done to deserve such treatment. It all began when Riley’s identity as a founder of the big corporation leaked out. Nathaniel started to treat everyone nicely except for her, “Natha…Ah—!”

Nathaniel cut off whatever she was going to say next by freezing her tongue and leaving her on her own. Such was the irony of being treated ‘differently’ by an overbearing male lead. The core idea remained, but the way of treatment differed quite a lot. Instead of breaking her legs to stop her from leaving him, he did it to stop her from following him.

Silvia fell to the ground, her knees shaking. She tried to reach out to him, but he was unreachable, like a wall of ice. No matter how much she wanted to get back at her twin, she couldn’t think of anything.

Any money she received would be collected by the debt collectors; her only way of survival was for others to pay for her, but nobody wanted to buy her anything anymore. Ezikiel was as broke as her. Liam and the others all gave up on her.

Silvia messaged Ezikiel. Instead of asking him to pick her up, her mind was occupied only with a single thought. Nathaniel’s behaviour changed for the worse when he started to associate himself with Riley!

Silvia: Help me kill Riley.

Ezekiel: Help you? Just because I’m feeling charitable towards you, doesn’t mean I owe you a thing. If you want to die so badly, go ahead and stop being such a burden on everyone else.

Silvia: Fine, I will do it myself. If I die, it’s going to be all your fault! Remember, nobody is going to put up with you as I do!

Silvia wouldn’t normally go through this but she was letting Ezikiel’s behaviour pass because she still needed him. Once she was done with using him, she would discard him like trash! If only Ezikiel was a big and rich alpha like others, she wouldn’t feel so humiliated and inferior standing next to him before Riley and Elera!

While she cried in the hope some patrolling guards would take pity on her, she heard footsteps approaching her from behind. Her face grew hot, realizing it was Victor Egerton. She pressed her hands against her mouth to hold back the sobbing noises coming from her throat.

When it seemed like the whole world was giving up on a female lead including the male lead, it would usually be a great time for the second male lead to make a long-lasting impression. That’s how it was written in the book. When Silvia felt like the world was against her, she would bump into the second male lead, Victor.

He would listen to her vent about her day and make her feel better. She would start to see the second male lead more and more. He would always be there for her when she needed someone. Victor’s presence would also cause Nathaniel to feel jealous, and force him to realize his feelings for the female lead.
