Chapter 89 - This Child Belongs To Him…

Emmy sighed in relief and poked Alex in his chest. A while ago she was so anxious that her brain didn't register that she had broken Victor's arm just like that but now she suddenly remembered it.

" Great, because of your untold plan, you might have to face another problem."

Alex was confused at first but seeing the mischievous expression on Emmy's face, he was sure that she had done something which could land him in big trouble.

" My dear wife, I can handle any trouble created by you but you can tell me about it after we hide or else how can the dear queen mother enjoy the gift I have prepared for her. "

Alex pulled Emmy and hid behind the rose bushes where already Jordan was waiting for them. In a low voice, Emmy asked Alex what was happening to which both the men gave a wicked smile.

" Later, when the fun begins make sure to close her eyes, I don't want my sister to see such things ever."

Alex nodded his head and just as Emmy was going to bombard them with a set of questions, they heard footsteps approaching. Alex made a keep quiet gesture to both Emmy and Jordan.

" Oh my prince, come and savour my forbidden fruit on this moonlit night. Take me to the peak of pleasure where love and lust meets.. "

The trio could see Arona was in the hands of a man who was trying his best to control himself by shaking his head. From the first glance itself, it was crystal clear that it was not the second prince but one of his lackeys. That man was continuously stopping Arona from placing her hands over his body. Finally, when he was not able to control his desires, he pushed the mistress and ran as fast as he could. As he tried to turn towards the corridor, he collided with Dezo who was accompanying King from his chamber.

Looking at the panic-stricken lackey of the second prince and his dishevelled clothes, King signalled Dezo to make the former confess what he was up to. The man upon seeing the king felt as if he was going to lose his life any time soon, so vomited all truth that he knew.

" Lord, the queen asked me to let our mistress wait at your study chamber to wait for the crown prince who was called by a guard in your name. She had given our mistress a drink to be given to the crown prince and asked me to make him drink it forcefully. However, along the way, our mistress wanted to taste the drink a bit and so she drank it..but after drinking it a little, she couldn't stop herself from drinking it completely. Then she started messing up and as I couldn't take it anymore, I ran ... "

The blackguard, Dezo could feel the drop of temperature surrounding him and saw the cold expression of the king. How could a lackey complain of the royalties, that too, the queen as well as his daughter-in-law? To ease the situation, Dezo suddenly made the lackey knelt down by pressing his pressure points.

" Do you know the ramifications of lying to the great son of the heavens? How dare you voice out against our queen huh, I shall your tongue before severing your head."

Before Dezo could take his action, the king roared, " WHERE IS SHE NOW?"

The lackey quickly for saving his life, pointed his hands towards the direction where he had left Arona a little while before.

The King along with Dezo and the lackey marched towards the area to find Arona roll on the ground and most of her body parts were in a revealing state. The scene had the blood boiled up in Valeriander's brain. He turned around to see Dezo as well as that lackey both standing there with their heads down.

" Quickly summon the queen and the second prince here, make this vile woman return to her courtyard and make sure no wind must let the guests know about this sitch. Also, let this man free and fetch court physician to look at her. "

Dezo was quick in his action. Soon there was no one left in the compound and the trio emerged out from the rose bushes with Alx looking irritated.

" Judging from your expression, this was not the outcome you wished for, isn't it."

Alex looked at Jordan who also had a sulking expression on his face. He soon left to check why the queen hadn't made the entrance as they had planned.

" Yes Emmy, we thought that the queen would also come to check the results of her scheme but she didn't, if she had, then her false facade would have been shattered in front of her dear husband once in forever. Before we met, I had found out that Valeriander was clueless about her schemes and he simply hated me as I wasn't his son as everyone claims."

Emmy also felt that the Salian king may not be that villainous when compared to his wicked son. 

" Alex, I think I know why the queen didn't make an appearance here tonight as she might have known what happened to her son."

" What happened to Victor?"

Alex looked at Emmy, then he remembered the trouble which she had mentioned before.

" Actually, when I was coming here in search of you, Victor had tried to lure me into his arms and when I tried to walk away from him, he tried to stop me. So in defence, I just…."

" That son of a dog wanted to touch you... I will break his hands today."

Alex wanted to rush to make Victor lose his hands tonight, but Emmy stopped him, she whispered something in his ears, making him laugh out loud.

" You did it… great, fantastic. He must know what will happen if he dares to touch my tigress. Huh, Emmy.. why are you so cute."

Alex took Emmy in his hands and swirled over multiple times to fall to the ground. Laying on the grass, both of them laughed. Alex held Emmy in his embrace and kissed over her cherry lips, then her forehead, eyes, cheeks and neck. How much he kissed her, it was not enough for him.

" Emmy, I want to have you as soon as possible. I want to be your man, in soul and in the body. I swear, I will only do it with you after marriage but promise me, it will be soon, right!"

Emmy smiled at Alex and hugged him tightly. She was already ready to take their relationship to the next level but it was just Alex who never wanted to do the deed before marriage.

Folding all the dramas of that night, the couple returned to their residency to call it a night. Late at night, Emmy had a weird dream.

In the dream, she was standing over a cliff which she hadn't seen before and on her side, there was a woman weeping.

" You don't know how much he loved me and still he loves me. From childhood, never once we fought with each other and everyone was jealous of our relationship. Then why did you seduce him? He changed his mind only after meeting you. He said that you had seduced him and made him sleep with you that day. Now, you are even threatening him to marry you? How could a woman be as evil as you? Look, the child in my stomach has completed one month by now, so you can understand that we had been in love even before he met you."

" You can have any other outstanding man in this universe but I want him. I want my Alex back." 

Emmy couldn't believe whatever that woman was saying, she just closed her eyes and listened to the crashing waves.

" I don't believe a word you said, let me hear it from his mouth. We will meet at the orchards of Acasta Palace tomorrow. Make him confess and accept that this is your child in front of me. Then I will leave him forever but if I find that you are lying, Agrona.. even if you are Alex's best friend or ex-lover ..whatever it may be, I will feed you to the sharks." 

" How can I be lying, is the child in my body a lie? This child is his..this child belongs to the crown prince of the great Salian clan, Envoy Salian Alexandrian."

Emmy jumped up and was struggling for air to breathe. Alex also woke up sensing the sudden movement from Emmy's side.

" Emmy, are you alright? What happened? did you dream about the nightmare again?"

Emmy looked at Alex and asked him to fetch a glass of water. However in her mind, what Agrona had said in her dreams kept rewinding, the child, the orchard, the scene where she saw Alex and Agrona hugging each other. Alex had confessed everything but not about the child.

After drinking the water, Emmy rested her head on Alex's lap.

"Was Agrona pregnant while you met her at the orchards that day?"

Alex felt a bit surprised as Emmy correctly found the reason why they had met each other at the orchards.

" Yes, she was..it was the upshot of Victor messing with her and she didn't know what to do. As her friend, she could only discuss it with me.."

" Well, I think that was staged….. you got played."
