Chapter 198 - The Three Guests

Ren pushed Karl to the wall furiously when he heard his uncle's words. "THAT IS ENOUGH, Uncle!"

"Ren ... don't you remember what happened to your father? Your mother also died not long after and you became an orphan ... Don't you love your parents anymore and forget their deaths?" said Karl. "What an unfilial son!"

Ren gripped his glass tightly and refrained from throwing it at Karl.

"Uncle ... my life has been destroyed because of my revenge, and now I've lost my children. I want to forget about everything. I've let go of my parents ..." Ren said as he looked at Karl with an exhausted expression. "I want to stop. I am so tired..."

"Ren ..." Karl's voice softened. "The palace is currently looking for you. At least you should return to Moravia. If you take Fae with you, I'm sure the king and queen will easily accept her. Don't let Moravia without a king ... Once you announce her to the public, her family will come and we can continue with—"

"I don't want to go back to Moravia, Uncle! Am I not making myself clear to you??"

"Ren, you can't stop halfway. We've done so much to get you to this point. We've got rid of your cousin so the royal family had no choice but to acknowledge you and appoint you as the crown prince. And you're getting there… We are so close. Why don't you keep moving forward? Soon we will arrive at the destination."

"I'm not interested in that goal anymore," said Ren. "Now, I just want to live in peace ..."

Karl stared at his nephew with gleaming eyes.

"You changed because of that girl ..." His voice sounded very disappointed. "You think you can hide this from her forever? If you don't want to go back to Moravia, I'll tell Fae everything that's happened, and you won't be able to live in peace. She will know what you did to her, that you are involved in separating her from her family. She would know that she is not alone… When that happens.. she will leave and go back to them. You mean nothing to her."

"Watch out if you dare!"

"Now, whatever ... You can come with me, and we will continue with our plans, or Fae will find out everything ..." Karl threatened as he looked at Ren deeply.

CLANG!

Ren slammed down his wine glass and grabbed Karl by the neck. "I'll kill you before you tell my wife."

Karl smiled and closed his eyes. "Please. Try if you can kill me ... I want to see if you are so ungrateful by repaying all my kindness to you with evil."

Ren gripped Karl's neck with his right hand using all his strength while his left gripped his uncle's collar. Karl's face winced in pain, but he didn't fight back at all.

Ugh!

Ren finally let go of Karl and pushed him with all his might.

"Go, Uncle. I don't want to see you again ... ever," he said. "If I see you again ... I will forget the blood relationship between us and will not hesitate to kill you."

He walked out of the pavilion to the main villa. His steps were long and his face looked dark. When he saw some of his staff in the lounge in front of the villa, the man immediately gave orders to them not to allow Karl to come to his villa again.

"Hey ... what's wrong?" asked Fae when she saw Ren enter with a stern face. She suspected that something had happened between Ren and Karl. She immediately approached Ren and held his hand. "Karl pissed you off?"

Ren embraced Fae and stroked her hair. "Hmm .. nothing important. Don't think about him."

Fae could tell that Ren was really upset, but she didn't want to make Ren's mood worse, so she didn't ask anymore.

"Putu has prepared dinner for us. We should eat first and then wash up and sleep," she coaxed her husband.

"Hmm .." Ren let go of his arms and pulled Fae's hand toward the dining room. "Let's eat. After that, I want to talk to you about something."

Fae complied with Ren's request. She suspected that something important had happened between her husband and his assistant. Now Ren wanted to discuss it with her. She could only wonder what Ren wanted to talk to her about.

Did Ren want to return to Moravia?

Ahh…

Ren saw Fae's face turn cloudy too. He immediately took Fae's hand and squeezed it.

"We are not going back to Moravia," said Ren as if he could read Fae's mind. "You don't need to worry."

"Oh ..." Fae's worried face immediately brightened. Apparently, Ren knew her very well at this point. He could even guess what made Fae worried.

"I have something important I want to discuss with you. But let's eat first."

"Okay."

The two of them ate in silence, busy with their own thoughts. After dinner ended, Ren took Fae to bathe together and then sat in a cabana by their pool. His face looked serious.

"Is there anything happened?" asked Fae.

"Karl said that the palace is looking for me and insisted that I could leave Moravia. I think, now that Karl already knows where I am, it will not be long before the court will find out that I am here," said Ren. He took a deep breath. "I'm sorry, but ... I think we should move out of Bali soon."

"Oh ..." Fae subconsciously looked around and took a deep breath. She really liked the place where they lived now. Besides, she loved this villa, she also fell in love with the island and all its beauty.

Why was it so difficult for them to live as ordinary people?

However, if she had to choose between staying in this place and risking being pursued by the Moravian royal family, it would have been better for them to leave.

"When are we going?" Fae finally asked.

"I guess, as soon as possible. I'm sorry ... I know you really like this place ..."

Fae bit her lip and shook her head. "No. I just want to be with you. No matter where it is, it doesn't matter."

She remembered Wallis Simpson and Edward VIII living in exile after they got married and Edward VIII abdicated from the British throne. They remained happy until the end.

"I'm very happy to hear that ..." said Ren. He kissed Fae on the lips and held her tightly for a long time. "I'm very lucky to have a wife like you."

After he let go of his embrace, Ren then looked deeply into Fae's eyes.

"Then, would you mind if we packed up now and left as soon as possible?"

"I don't have much stuff ... I can pack quickly," Fae said.

"That's good."

They walked hand in hand back to the bedroom and prepared to pack some of their important items. Both felt that it was very hard for them to leave Bali, but Ren and Fae felt they had no choice.

Ren just wanted to go and disappear, forgetting the past. Fae wanted to be with Ren, wherever he was, she didn't care.

KNOCK KNOCK

"Who is it?"

Suddenly there were knocks on the door, and Nyoman's voice came from the front of their room.

"Excuse me, Sir. We have guests who are looking for Madame ..."

"Nyoman, I've kicked that man out and told you not to accept him in this house anymore. Is my order not clear?" Ren asked in a very irritated voice. He had a lot on his mind and didn't want to be bothered by anything else.

"Uhmm ... I'm sorry, Sir. But these are different people, not the guest who came earlier. They also said they came looking for Madam, not you."

Ren was stunned. He and Fae looked at each other.

Who was looking for Fae?

"Did you call someone else and tell them where we are?" asked Ren to his wife.

Fae shook her head. "No. I only told Doctor Lehmann when you were hospitalized."

"Hmm .." Ren decided to go out to the living room to see who had come. Fae hastily walked with him. She was curious to know who was looking for her. She didn't really have any family or friends that would worry about her.

"Wait for me ..." she whispered.

Ren slowed down and waited for Fae. They then held hands and walked towards the living room across several rooms and the large sitting room in their villa.

As soon as the large wooden door opened, they saw that in the front lounge, near their beautiful koi fish pond, there were three male figures standing. One of them was Karl. He was standing with his arms crossed over his chest. He was speaking in a low voice to the second man who looked like Mischa.

Wait..

That's .. really Mischa, right? Fae still vividly remembered her impressive boss's face and body.

What was Mischa doing here? And why did he come with Karl?

Then ...the third man was someone she never saw before. The man was young and his gesture made him look really sad. Fae couldn't see his face because he seemed to focus his attention on the koi fish in the pond.

The man was tall, and his appearance looked very neat in expensive outfit from head to toe. His platinum hair was long and a little messy, making him look really cool.

Who was he? Fae had never seen him before.

As soon as Ren and Fae walked into the lounge and saw the three men, the two of them stood stunned and held their breath.

Fuck you, Uncle.

Ren could only curse inwardly. 

His uncle didn't come alone. He must have revealed to Mischa who Fae really was, to force Ren to continue their plan for revenge. He knew Ren wouldn't want to change his decision.

"Boss ...? What are you doing here?" asked Fae in amazement.

Mischa looked up when he heard his name being called. His serious face was immediately filled with immense joy. He patted the handsome young man next to him.

"Altair ... it's Vega," he said in a hoarse voice. He was obviously feeling moved.

Altaïr immediately turned around and faced Fae. His face looked relieved and happy at the same time, and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.

Fae widened her eyes and felt her knees go weak as she took a good look at the face of the third man who came. She just realized that the man looked so much like herself.

Who was this man???
