Defy The Alpha(s) novel Chapter 715

Chapter 715: On The Run

"Hurry up, you idiot," Kate snapped at the servant struggling with her luggage.

Yes. Kate Avax was running.

It was the only option left to her now.

Public opinion terrified her, but none of that compared to the fear growing in her chest at the thought of one man.

David Avax. Her husband.

If he discovered the truth before she got away, he would kill her. Kate had no doubt about that. The man was dignified, yet lethal when crossed.

There were two things that mattered to David: money and family.

The man might not wear his affection on his sleeve, but he loved his daughter, especially because she was the spawn of his first wife, the woman he had truly loved.

Unfortunately, some men had a twisted definition of love. Kate and David had been having an affair even before Natalie’s mother died. Yet David never allowed that affair to interfere with the image of the perfect family he curated. He always showed up for his wife and daughter, played the devoted husband and ensured his home never lacked comfort or luxury.

And that was what Kate envied. She wanted it.

However, David had made their arrangement brutally clear and strictly controlled. Their relationship existed only at his discretion. The day she crossed the line was the day she would die. And Kate never doubted that threat.

Men with money like David had the power to make people disappear without a trace.

So when Natalie’s mother, Claudia, died after her brief illness—and David asked Kate to marry him just months later—it felt like a prayer answered.

It was a dream come true, or so Kate thought.

She had assumed that all the affection she had seen David pour out on his wife, Claudia, he would do the same for her. But soon enough, it became starkly clear what David had really married her for—a nanny.

He married her to take care of his daughter.

With the added benefit of sleeping with her as his legal wife.

Sure, he gave her wealth, but Kate craved more. She wanted the same love he had given his first wife, but that was never forthcoming.

He never allowed her to bear him children either. He would always say, "Natalie is my only heir. I don’t want another child coming and making her life difficult. Everything I have is hers."

And he made sure to enforce it. Every time they had sex, there was always the pill she was mandated to take, and the next morning—depending on the timing—a doctor would come in to ensure no foul play.

Her marriage became painfully monotonous. There was none of the excitement they’d once shared during their affair, and none of the passion she had imagined marriage with him would bring.

And it was all because of Natalie.

Of course, Kate took care of Natalie as David demanded, but that resentment soon grew into grudges. And those grudges twisted into darker thoughts.

What would it feel like to ruin his daughter?
