Chapter 226 Not So Arrogant Anymore
Damien didn't know about using one's ethereal energy to prevent pregnancy. But, Luna suggested it to him and also told him how it could be done.
Valentina felt relieved that she could be one with Damien without worrying about having a baby accidentally. Although she badly wanted to have one, after hearing Damien's words, she understood that she did not have much idea about looking after a child, nor did she expect it to be so complicated and difficult.
She decided to educate herself about more of these things through books and with the help of Yara in the coming days.
Damien slyly pulled one of her sleeves down as her velvety right boob popped out, and the rosy-pink bud on top of it lured Damien's eyes.
Valentina smiled, seeing Damien eyeing her boobs with such interest, and before she could pull him towards her, Damien had already plunged his mouth over her right boob and started to ravage it while squeezing her other boob by slipping his hand through her dress.
"Ahnmmm…." Valentina arched her neck back in pleasure as she played with his hair. However, one of her hands quietly slipped down and pressed over his pants, under which his dragon was slumbering.
She tried rubbing it from outside while using her other hand to suck one of Damien's fingers.
*RING!*
However, before things could get heated up any further, both of them heard the bell ring, which meant that they had guests.
Damien mumbled, "Hmm, seems like they are here earlier than expected."
He put back up Valentina's sleeves and lifted her, "Let's go, Valentina. We have some respected guests to receive," Damien said with a grin.
Valentina saw his grin and knew that whatever was going to happen next would be fun. Although she didn't feel good about being interrupted, she took satisfaction in the fact that she could continue it any time later.
Damien put his hood back on, and along with Valentina, he headed towards the guest room. He also gave some instructions to Valentina, which puzzled her a bit. However, she still decided to see for herself what was going to happen.
The maids went forward to tell him about the arrival of some guests, but Damien waved his hands, telling them that there was no need as he knew who all his guests exactly were.
He also could notice that his maids and servants' expressions seemed slightly nervous as if they welcomed some prominent figures.
Just as he entered the guest room and closed the door behind him, he saw the patriarchs, Herwin Clive and Harvey Rivers, looking towards his direction in a very anxious manner.
They immediately got up, but Damien's eyes then got sight of two revolting figures on the side wearing cloaks, standing with their backs drooped and heads down as if they didn't have enough guts to face the world.
Their face was completely covered with blackish yellow lumps and patches that even he didn't feel like taking another look at them. He felt that not even people suffering from severe ulcers and necrosis would look so unsightly.
He applauded himself that his pill exceeded his expectations. Valentina was surprised to see those two stomach-churning figures. But upon closer look, she noticed that they were Dennisa and Roy without any of their lofty bearings present nor any arrogant looks on their downturned faces.
They seemed so meek and shaken that someone would mistake their bearings to be that of the lowliest servant instead of prodigal heirs of bigshot families.
Damien inwardly smirked as he could notice how Herwin and Harvey were trying to hide their uneasiness by trying to put up a front.
Both the patriarchs slowly walked forward with uneasiness written all over their faces, thinking about their heirs' plight.
A huge fight almost broke down between them just as Harvey learned that Roy raped his daughter, especially after hearing her daughter's retelling of the events which she told while crying her eyes out.
He had never seen his strong-hearted daughter being so broken and felt rage fuming in his nerves. And even with the ugly patches on her skin, he could make out how roughly Roy assaulted her while fucking her.
Even if he was friendly with Herwin Clive for all these years, it doesn't mean that he would sit still after Roy raped his daughter.
He could even see his servants trying to hide their disgust as they accidentally glanced at Dennisa. No matter how much they felt like puking, the servants didn't dare to show it on their faces but failed miserably.
Harvey felt as if not only his daughter but he had also lost all face. He swiftly executed all those servants who looked at his daughter with disgust when all these years the manservants would especially try to hide their drool upon seeing her.
He had stormed towards the Clive Family mansion with many of his men to get an explanation from Herwin himself. However, Herwin was in no better state than him, and he didn't even know upon whom he should extract his wrath as he knew his son would never do something so stupid.
After having a very heated argument with Herwin, Harvey cooled down a bit and realized that what happened might not be necessarily Roy's fault. After all, Roy also had taken the pill from Alchemist Azrael, and he was also warned not to have any sexual activities for a whole month.
So, why would he rape Dennisa unless he didn't care about bearing the consequences of what comes after, which was definitely not the case here.
After Roy woke up, they learned from him that he didn't even remember what happened for the past few hours and fainted again upon seeing the plight of his own condition.
But what worried and caused turmoil in Herwin's heart more than the ugly patches on Roy's skin was the condition of Roy's manhood. It was completely crippled!
His most prodigal son had his manhood crippled, and this fact made him feel like his whole world was coming to an end. If he were an ordinary mortal, he would have already died of a heart attack upon learning this fact.
Herwin and Harvey quickly came to a consensus that someone had plotted this for sure, especially when they learned from their family doctor that both Roy and Dennisa were drugged.
But the only suspects were Luke and Neo, and both of them were dead as well, which puzzled them, wondering who killed them in the first place as they knew that Dennisa and Roy didn't even know about their deaths till they told them.
Their instincts nurtured after living for centuries were telling them that someone else was behind this whole thing as it didn't make sense for Luke and Neo to commit suicide just because they were afraid of the consequences. If they were fearful of it, they wouldn't have done anything in the first place.
Besides, they received the news from Luke himself, which only puzzled them more. If he really was the culprit, why would he warn them and bring upon more suspicion to himself?
However, the patriarchs weren't in the mental state to think too much about it now as they didn't even know if the condition of their heirs would remain like that forever for the rest of their lives.
Their doctors were helpless as they found out that Dennisa and Roy's conditions only worsened when they tried to heal them.
So, the only genius doctor they could think of was Alchemist Azrael, and their only hope since he was also the one who concocted those special pills in the first place. They thought maybe he had a way to deal with the backlash of the pills he concocted himself.
And so they hurried towards the Spring River Villa along with their crestfallen heirs who didn't even have the slightest air of arrogance around them anymore. Dennisa still held deep-seated hatred towards Roy even if she knew Roy might not have done it on purpose.
In the end, he did the deed, and she couldn't forgive him, and her anger and hatred only increased each time she looked at her own beautiful turned ugly skin.
In fact, both Roy and Dennisa didn't even feel like leaving their rooms or let anyone see them as if they were extremely ashamed and disgusted with their own appearances. Roy also felt his world crumbling down when he learned that the only thing he took most pride in was crippled completely.
And now, here they were in the villa of Alchemist Azrael, hoping that he would be able to fix their nightmares. Little did they know that this nightmare would follow them throughout their lives.
