A Deal with the Cursed Alpha King

"She was the perfect target." The sound of lips meeting, of bodies moving together, made bile rise in my throat. "But Damien, how were you able to do it?" Jessica's voice was breathless with more than just pleasure. "You told me we could get her inheritance and the life insurance payout once the wolfsbane killed her, but I never thought you could actually poison her so thoroughly." "Small doses of wolfsbane extract mixed into her food and drinks over months. I even convinced her that the healer's treatments were making her worse, so she'd skip doses of the antidote. Celine is so foolish and trusting, it was easy to manipulate her." Damien chuckled, clearly enjoying recounting his deception. I felt an intense pain in my chest, yet I held onto the doorframe to prevent myself from collapsing. "Good thing Father also helped by paying off the healer," Jessica added. "Making her believe that only a mate bond could cure her at this stage, when really, consistent antidote treatments could have saved her life.

Silence is the reason for choosing silence
A person might choose to remain silent for the following reasons: 1. ** Mental state ** - ** Happiness and comfort **: When a person feels happy and comfortable in front of others, they may be talkative and talk a lot of nonsense. On the other hand, if a person spoke less nonsense, they might not be happy, but they might also choose to remain silent. - Disappointment: When you are disappointed with someone or something, such as facing various situations and opinions, even if it is criticized and slandered, you are indifferent. It is not that you are not eloquent or unreasonable, but you are so disappointed that you don't want to talk. Silence becomes an expression. - [Understand your position in the other person's heart: When you know that you are insignificant in the other person's heart, you will choose to remain silent when you feel that there is no point in talking to someone who doesn't care about you.] - [Distrust: As your experience increases, you may no longer trust others easily. You can't speak your mind to anyone, so you choose to remain silent.] - ** Don't want to disappoint yourself **: If you get a neutral response when you confide in someone, in order to avoid disappointment, you will no longer express yourself and remain silent. 2. ** In terms of interpersonal relationships ** - ** Weakened in a relationship **: Words are insignificant in a relationship, and they have even been criticized for speaking out. They will choose to remain silent in order to protect themselves. - ** Disdain to care **: After experiencing many things, I feel that some things are not worth arguing about. In order to gain peace, I no longer care about them and remain silent. - [Disdain to Explain]: Sometimes, the more you explain, the less trust you get. For those who deliberately doubt you, you don't need to explain. Just wait for the right time. 3. ** In terms of personal growth and accomplishment ** - [Too much stress in life: As I grow older, I have to take on many roles in my life. The pressure increases. I feel that talking will only increase my troubles and I can't express it. Therefore, I choose to recover in silence.] - [Appearance of accomplishment and maturity: Knowing that there are some things you shouldn't say and some things you shouldn't say. Silence is a form of respect for others and also an expression of accomplishment and maturity.] 4. ** Mental defense mechanism ** - ** Silence Effect **: When some people were young, their needs were not responded to. When they said their needs, they were criticized instead, forming a vicious cycle. When they grew up, they might become silent because of this self-protection and self-digestion consciousness. They had something to say but did not know how to say it. " The Silent Eyewitness " novel is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
