Chapter 193: Jia's story
Jayden glanced at her from the corner of his eyes, he knew that she wasn't a bad person, but since she had suffered so much because of the King and then indirectly by her son, she had developed extreme hate towards him.
Still, she made her innocent son suffer so much, and that would certainly put an evil seed in her heart, indirectly giving birth to the heart demon.
Jayden didn't want her to die or suffer too much, but still, she needs to understand what wrong she have done in the past, and she needs to feel the burden of it all.
As for the king, Jayden didn't think that the Beginning Kingdom needs any Royal family, the kingdom would be much better without all the scum that rules it.
' After dealing with the matters in the sect, I'll meet him and make his life a living hell. ' Jayden thought in his mind.
Wang Jia stared into the sky, her sight still hazy with the liquid in her eyes that slowly slid down her pale cheeks. She took in several breaths with some difficulty, then in a low voice she spoke:
" I was born in a happy family, both of my parents were elders in this, Divine Sword sect, on the day of my birth my parents held a big feast. They even invited the king and my aunt, the queen along with many other people.
After a few years of my birth, my younger brother was born, he was so little and vulnerable that I promised to always protect him. "
Jayden listened to her words, he had heard rumours that she had a brother before, but he wondered where her brother might be now.
" As I grew up, everyone including my parents were surprised by my cultivation talent, the speed of my break through was faster than what anyone in the Kingdom had ever seen.
Before even reaching the age of sixteen, I had already stepped into the Core Formation realm, my talent was truly unprecedented and this news shook the entire Kingdom.
However, my brother who was just three years younger than me didn't have as good of a talent, still, he was better than most of the people.
But he never envied me and always supported my choices, even if our parents stood against us.
After a few years, my Cultivation talent wasn't the only thing everyone talked about, my beauty which had surpassed everyone in the kingdom became an interesting topic for everyone.
As soon as I had my coming of age ceremony, countless marriage proposals were sent to me, sect elders, patriarchs, rich businessmen, and almost all the men who had some influence tried their shots.
But I chose no one since cultivation was my only priority, my father had always taught me, only with great strength could you truly achieve freedom.
On the birthday of one of my aunt's sons, the family of us four was invited to the palace. It was at that place, that I first saw that low life pig, and the time that almost brought me to despair began after that point.
Like most men, he was instantly infatuated by my beauty, on the same day he asked me to marry him in front of everyone, on his own son's birthday.
Since he was my aunt's husband and the king, I didn't humiliate him in front of everyone and instead just politely rejected him.
But he wasn't someone who likes to hear no as an answer, so he asked my aunt to pester our family, after countless rejections, he finally stopped or so I thought, but he just got more aggressive in his approaches.
He made it really difficult for my whole family, my brother was getting bullied and my parents were about to be thrown out of the sect, but still, I didn't agree with his conditions.
Then he took a big step, he sent assassins to our house, t-then he killed my younger brother... My father *SOB* and my mother, he killed everyone. I returned home after attending a class, and then I-I saw the corpses of my entire f-family, *SOB* lying in a puddle of blood.
I was broken and devastated, sorrow filled my heart but I didn't have enough strength to retaliate, I was alone and had no one else to rely on, but I persisted and didn't give in to his demands.
In the end, it was my aunt whom I trusted the most after my parents' deaths who betrayed me, she used some kind of evil technique and used his sperms to get me pregnant, I didn't even notice anything until there were signs of pregnancy, no one aside from the three of us were aware of this fact.
He even spread rumours of the two of us having a relationship, but even after getting pregnant and all the talks, I did my best and cultivated and became the Matriarch of this sect. " Wang Jia concluded.
Jayden was surprised after listening to it all, everything was completely different from the things he remembered from his memories.
" I'm not telling you all this just to gain your pity and sympathy, I just wanted for you to know everything. " Jia said looking deeply into his eyes, then she continued:
" After you disappeared, I searched for you for many days continuously, but I had to return to the sect since Bi Wu was on loose and no one knew who he might attack. Even today I was just going to- " Jia explained.
" Why are you telling me all this? " Jayden interrupted her.
" I know you probably won't believe anything I say now, but to me, you're the only and the most precious person. Just the thought of l-losing you broke my heart, I-I didn't know what I would have done if you hadn't returned. " Jia said, tears falling freely down her face.
" If you want, I can leave my position here as the Matriarch and go with you wherever you want. I don't care about anything as long as you are with me, so please d-don't leave me, before I knew it you've become someone irreplaceable for me. So, will you forgive me? " She said and stood up.
She took a step towards Jayden and hugged him with her chin resting on his shoulder. Jayden could feel her warm tears over his clothes, her body trembled slightly in his embrace.
" But I don't want to feel pain again. " Jayden said, without pulling away from her.
" I will never hurt you again, I vow to God that if I even unknowingly hurt you, I will take my own life- " Jia said, bringing her face in front of him and looking into his eyes.
Jayden placed a finger on her lips and stopped her from completing the sentence: " You don't have to that far, Mom, I believe in you. "
Hearing his words, Wang Jia's eyes were again filled with tears, a beautiful smile appeared on her face and she tightly hugged him and buried her face into his chest.
All the despair and frustration she was feeling disappeared instantly, she felt as if she had obtained what she had desired all her life.
