My Accidental Husband Is My Revenge Partner - Chapter 210

Chapter 210: Stay With Me
“Lily!!” Allison called as soon as she got inside her house. The lights were still switched on which only means that they were around. However, no one was in the living room. “Lily!!” Allison called again, this time heading towards the bedroom.

Inside the bedroom, Allison found her mother lying on the bed, pale as white with Lily sitting beside her on the bed.

A familiar woman wearing casual clothing with a stethoscope in her hands was checking her mother.

“I called Mrs. Astor when Mother fainted,” Lily explained, her eyes darting between Allison and Kace who was behind her.

Mrs. Astor was a neighbor of theirs who was a doctor.

Allison nodded in understanding, waiting for Mrs Astor to finish checking on their mother.

A few minutes later,

“Allison, your mother is alright. However suddenly she just collapsed,” Mrs Astor said when she was done checking up on the middle-aged woman who was unconscious. “But you don’t need to worry. It’s nothing serious. Just keep her away from something that will stress her out, and continue giving her her daily medication.”

Allison nodded once more, tears threatening to fall from her eyes.

She appreciated Mrs. Astor for checking up on their mother despite her busy schedule as a doctor. Then, she escorted her out of the house.

“Tell me what happened. What triggered mother to collapse all of a sudden? She has not fainted since after her surgery,” Allison asked Lily who was in the kitchen, grabbing a glass of water for Kace.

“It’s because of you, sis.”

“What do you mean?” Allison asked confusedly.

“That video,” Lily replied, a scowl on her face as she lowered her head in shame. “She saw that video and because of it, she fainted.”

Allison grew quiet as her face paled.

“What?”

“That video is circulating all over the internet. Do you know how many views it has on Instagram?” Lily questioned, pulling out her phone to show Allison the obscene video.

Even so, she frowned deeply in confusion when she couldn’t find the video anymore.

“I can’t find the video anymore,” she said.

“That’s because it’s been deleted off the internet,” Kace replied. “Permanently.”

Lily stared at Kace, amazed he could do that, but she didn’t ask questions.

Her eyes landed on Allison. “I don’t know if Mum will be happy when she wakes up. I think it’s best you stay with your boyfriend for a while,” she suggested, her eyes strained on Kace.

“He’s not my boyfriend,” Allison corrected.

Lily simply shrugged but didn’t argue.

Suddenly, the door to the bedroom Mrs Quinn was sleeping opened, and the middle-aged woman came out.

“Mother!!” Both Allison and her mother said in unison, rushing to help their mother to a couch.

“Was that you on the internet?” Mrs. Quinn asked, her voice hoarse. Lily went towards the kitchen quickly to grab her a glass of water.

Allison couldn’t bring herself to reply.

Her silence answered Mrs. Quinn’s question and the woman felt shattered.

“Who would release such a video? How were they able to capture such a video?” She cried out.

Derek had released the sex tape with an anonymous account, so no one would know he was the one who released it.

Allison could easily tell her mother it was Derek, but she hesitated. Her mother had already endured so much, especially after seeing the video. She didn’t want to add to her burden, just like Mrs. Astor had suggested.

“Mum, you need to rest. Lily, take her back to the room. She needs to rest.”

Lily took their mother back into the room, leaving Allison and Kace in the living room.

“Come stay with me for a while,” Kace blurted out, which earned him a frown from Allison.

“What? I can’t leave them here to stay with you. I don’t think I need to stay with you. The situation is not that intense,” she responded.

“Do you think those comments are where those people are gonna stop?” He questioned, his eyes staring deep into her which had her subconsciously gulp down her saliva. “The video is deleted from the internet, but I’m sure some horny pigs have saved the video, and if they want to take things too far, they can come here and start harassing you. So it’s best you stay live with me in the meantime until everyone has forgotten about it,” he reasoned out.

Allison gave it a thought and realized Kace’ got a point. Derek didn’t love her, and there was a possibility of harassing her in her own home because of what she’d done to him at his party. He was fuming red when they left, and he’d let his emotions get the better of him—getting back at her by releasing the sex tape.

However, staying with Kace was something that needed to be taken into discussion. They shared no intimate relationship. Unfortunately, Allison did not even have enough money to book a room at a hotel. She was left with no other option but to stay in Kace’s house.

Allison went to her room to pack some of her clothes. When she was done, the both of them left the house.

When they arrived at Kace’s house, he showed her to her room, trying to crack some jokes that would distract her from what had happened that day.

Although she smiled, her smile didn’t reach her eyes one bit, and that alone made him feel regret for not beating Derek up.

“If the clothes aren’t enough, I can take you shopping,” he suggested, trying to lighten the mood.

“No, thanks. I’m not going to stay here for that long. This should be enough. Thank you for allowing me to stay though,” she appreciated.

Kace stared at her, not saying a word and she wondered if she’d said anything wrong.

“You’re tired, go to sleep.” He stood up from the bed and left the room, baffling her. Before she could stop him, he’d already disappeared.

Behind the doors, Kace called someone.

“Maxwell, I want you to arrange something for me as soon as possible,” he said, his expression dark and devoid of the usual bubbly Kace.
