THE MISTRESS’ DAUGHTER : CHAPTER 71 – 80
Belladonna shook Maledicta on the bed, a mischievous grin spreading across her face.
“Wake up, sleeping beauty.” She yelled.
“I wasn’t sleeping.”Maledicta muttered without opening her eyes.
Belladonna chuckled. “Get up, it’s morning. We have a place to go after breakfast.” She said.
Maledicta finally stood up from the bed, stretching her arms before opening her eyes.
“Where’s that?” she asked.
Belladonna’s grin grew wider. “Anywhere except your room. We could go to the library, garden, lake, or just stroll around, let just hang out together today, you need to learn a lot of things about dating a man.” Maledicta said.
Maledicta raised an eyebrow. “How’s the situation outside?” she asked.
“Well, everyone knows about your relationship already. Let’s just say some seniors can’t keep secrets.” Belladonna said.
Maledicta’s eyes narrowed. “I’m not going out. I’m going to get too much attention.” She said and lay back down on the bed.
Belladonna’s expression turned teasing. “Are you nervous? Wow, you’re really changing. Kaiden is really amazing.” She said.
Maledicta’s face turned cold. “You don’t understand me.” She said.
“You just ignore their stares, pretend not to see them, and do your thing. You’re good at doing that, remember?” Belladonna said and push her back up.
Maledicta’s expression remained skeptical, but she eventually nodded. “Fine.”
The two of them left Maledicta’s room, and as they walked through the corridors, it became clear that the news of Maledicta’s relationship with Kaiden had spread like wildfire. Students whispered and pointed, their eyes fixed on Maledicta with a mixture of curiosity and awe.
When they arrived at the dining hall, Maledicta scanned the room, her eyes searching for Kaiden. But he was nowhere to be found. She joined the seniors instead, focusing on her food and trying to ignore the stares.
Belladonna, meanwhile, was a little worried about Cassius’s absence. She shrugged it off, thinking that he might just be running late. But as the meal went on, and Cassius still didn’t show up, Belladonna’s concern grew.

Kaiden walked through the hallway, aware of the attention and whispering that followed him. He didn’t need anyone to tell him what they were talking about; he knew that his relationship with Maledicta was the hottest topic of gossip in the school.
As he turned a corner, he saw Benedicta approaching him, a smile on her face. He waited for her, feeling a sense of trepidation. He knew that Benedicta was Maledicta’s sister, and he wasn’t sure how she would react to the news of their relationship.
“Morning,” Benedicta muttered.
Kaiden smiled, feeling a sense of relief. “About last night, I’m so sorry,” he said gently.
Benedicta smile.
“Why are you apologizing?” she asked.
Kaiden took a deep breath, “Because I should have told you instead of you finding out the way you did. We’re friends, and I shouldn’t have kept the fact that I like your sister a secret.” He said.
Benedicta’s smile disappeared for a moment, and Kaiden wondered if he had misjudged her reaction. But then her smile returned, and she looked at him.
“You don’t have to apologize, okay? I just regret walking away yesterday. I shouldn’t have done that.” She said gently.
Kaiden felt a sense of relief wash over him. “So you’re not angry?” he asked.
Benedicta shook her head, “I’m not. I’m glad my sister finally has someone by her side. She’s been alone since the death of her friend Amaya.”Benedicta said expecting him to ask questions but was both shock and angry when he didn’t.
“Thank you for understanding,We can continue to be friends, and I’m always here for you.” He said with a smile and give her a little hug.
Benedicta’s smile grew wider, and she nodded. “I appreciate that.” She said.
