Escaping the strange Alpha's claw

Lost everything

Charlotte's POV

I was shocked at Anthony's confidence. Yes, he is the alpha but then I was the one who had put him there and I could revoke it. It was in the contract that I signed.

"Don't play smart!" I shouted at him.

Then Anthony signalled to his chief guard and he left the room. I didn't care what he told him, all I wanted was for him to give me back my title.

The elders asked me what happened and I told them that Anthony and Mabel were having an affair and I caught them sleeping together. I even told them how I heard the reason Anthony married me.

Anthony denied everything, demanding me to show the elders proof. I know I didn't have proof but I never cared.

"Charlotte, you can't have anything. You already transferred all your father's property and title to me. I own everything now!" Anthony said with a devilish smile.

The court of elders were shocked to hear that. I didn't know why Anthony added property. I only gave him my father's title.

"You lie. I didn't give you my property. I only gave you my title!" I shouted at him.

Anthony scoffed and threw some files to me. I knew the files I signed. There were only two of them. One was for the title and the second was the revoking of the title. I didn't want to sign the second because I had so much trust in Anthony that he wouldn't betray me but he forced me to. To prove his love for me.

I took the files and opened it. Only for me to see a different thing inside. The second document was the transfer of ownership of all my father's properties. I was so shocked that it was like someone had hit me with an iron.

"No! This is fake! I never signed this!" I shouted.

I threw the two documents away in anger. I wouldn't let those vile people cheat me. I knew what I signed.

"Don't get so aggressive Princess. You didn't only sign your properties to me, you also gave me authority to do anything I wish with you if you break off the wedding or demand a divorce!" He said with a very calm demeanour.

With his look I knew he was bent on destroying me. After all I did for him.

"You lie! I also have my own documents. You went to forge this Anthony!" I screamed.

I looked at the guard close to me and ordered him to get my own documents. The elders were already scolding me as to why I would do such a thing. I was angry at them for believing Anthony's lies

Soon the guard returned and to my shock, the file was the same as the one Anthony brought. I knew that I had been cheated. They must have switched the document two days ago when he brought it to me.

I had lost everything and even my freewill. I stood there in tears because there was nothing I could do to revoke it. It was stated in the document that I can't revoke it and I will have to answer to Anthony.

Seeing that I had lost, the elders asked me to continue the wedding. I knew that even if I continued, Anthony was still going to divorce me. I was very miserable and my tears wouldn't stop falling.

Anthony said I had disgraced him and he won't marry me and right there, he told the court that Mabel would be his betrothed. The court frowned at it. Anthony gave a lame excuse that he was doing it for my late father and that he didn't want the rulership of the kingdom to totally leave my father's house.

He was able to fool the court. Anthony rejected me as his fated mate and pain slashed through my body like I was struck with thunder.

My wedding and birthday ended miserably. I lost everything because of my stupid love. I knew that my parents would be so disappointed in me. I didn't know that Anthony and Mabel would do such a thing to me.

Soon the news about what happened spread through the whole kingdom. A foul story was told. I was said to be caught sleeping with a guard a night before my wedding and Anthony had to call off the wedding but because he respected my father, he betrothed my cousin.

Many people mocked me. Only a few people who slept at the palace knew that they were lies and that I was cheated but they were too afraid to talk. Anthony was their Alpha now.

As days went by, I began to see the true colour of Mabel. All those years we've been together, Mabel had always hated me. Now that she was openly betrothed to my ex-mate, she became so mean.

She wouldn't let me have my maid or even eat at the table. Today, she came after my room.

I was in my room reading a book on law when she came in. Well, studying law has been my new hobby. I had lost everything but I knew that Anthony couldn't have it perfect. There should be a law that would make me get everything I have back.

Since Anthony became the Alpha, everyone turned their back at me and there was no one to trust. Even some of my maids and those that I treated well, they all treated me like trash. I was weak and sad but I wanted revenge.

"You will have to vacate this room, I need it for my makeup room," Mabel said with a blunt face.

The sweet smile I normally love to see on Mabel had gone, just as my life had gone south.

"You must be joking!" I shouted at her.

She had taken everything from me and now she wants to take my room. Where does she expect me to stay?

Mabel had taken all my jewellery and expensive clothes. Even to my shoes and bags. She won't let me have any. She had taken them for herself saying I don't deserve any. She also made Anthony make me work in the kitchen.

I was weak and sick but Mabel wouldn't allow anyone to take care of me. I know she was hoping that I would die but I won't. I would pull through and have my revenge.

"No, I'm not, little sis. Take her thing and drag her to the maids quarters. That's where you belong!" She ordered.

The bitterness in her heart was so evident in her eyes. I knew struggling will do me no good. I would only hurt myself.

I looked at her and started laughing. I laughed so loud that I looked like I had lost my sanity. Mabel and those she came with were looking at me confused. They must have thought that I lost my sense. I swallowed my laughter and stared at Mabel dangerously.

"No matter how you try, you will never be me, Mabel. No matter how much you steal from me, you will always be the daughter of a drunkard whose mother left hating her so much," I said with my eyes spitting venom.

I knew that was Mabel's weakness and I intentionally reminded her who she was. I knew I had struck a touchy string. Mable dashed at me and started beating me up. I also fought her because I was overpowering her. I didn't even know I could have the strength to beat someone like Mabel. She was strong.

But then one of the men she brought hit me so hard that I blacked out.
