Chapter 55 - 55 - His Trust

I went to see Kyle, Emily and grandpa downstairs. I was feeling nervous but was relieved to see grandpa in good shape. Two more years and he will pass the crown to Kyle.

"Margaret!" He said while giving me a hug. It seems he's not mad at me.

Then Emily walked towards me and hugged me tight.

"How are you?" She asked.

"I-I'm okay." I stuttered while glancing at my brother.

"He's mad. We couldn't get married because I insisted on waiting for you." She whispered.

"I'm sorry Emily." I felt guilty. I know Kyle wanted to marry her for a long time so it's natural to get mad at me.

"Don't worry about it. I'm graduating this year so it's okay. I have a lot of things on my plate anyway, you know royal duties, school stuff and work. So I don't think I could plan the wedding." She answered.

She's amazing. It's not easy to handle those three at the same time.

She smiled at me as if telling me to approach Kyle so I got closer to him and wrapped my arms to his waist.

"Hey can you forgive me?" I asked while looking at him with my puppy eyes.

He looked back at me and sighed.

"Fine! But if you do it again, I will take you to Flousia and lock you in the tower." He said, annoyed.

I giggled. He always says he will lock in a tower every time he scolds me. Somehow, we really became close after finding out he's my half brother.

"Mommy! Why are you embracing another man?" It was Caden, while coming out from the playroom. Behind him was Alira.

He rushed towards us and kicked Kyle on his feet. I looked at Kyle and he was smiling. He hugged me back to see Caden's reaction.

"Don't take my mommy from daddy! You old man!" He blurted.

Emily laughed out loud and Kyle glared at him. I was also giggling but stopped when he became serious. He released me and crouched to face Caden.

"Young man, do I look old to you?" He asked.

Caden stared at his face and then to mine. Then he frowned.

"Are you my Uncle Kyle? Mom's brother?" Caden asked.

"Oh you know about me. Yes I am and I'm glad to meet you, Prince Caden." Kyle was talking to him like a gentleman and I was surprised to hear him calling Caden, prince.

Caden suddenly bowed to Kyle. I forgot that I always tell him that his uncle is the future king and to bow to him when he sees him.

"It's nice to meet you, your highness."

Kyle chuckled and pat Caden on the head.

"Enough of the formalities. I'm not the king yet. I am a doctor right now. This old man beside me is the current king and your great grandfather." Kyle said, introducing Caden to grandpa which I forgot.

Caden bowed again but grandpa just pulled him in his arms.

"Where's my crazy brother in law?" Kyle asked.

"I'm here." Jayden answered while running downstairs. He looks fresh. I left him in the room still taking a shower. We made love a few times before he let me go downstairs.

I was surprised when Kyle pat Jayden on the head and smiled.

"Thank you for finding them." He said to Jayden. 

We sat in the living room to chat some more when Jayden's phone rang. He kissed me on the cheek and went back upstairs.

"Peggy, don't ever do that again. You scared all of us, especially Jayden." Kyle said in a serious tone.

"Jayden almost lost sanity when you ran away. We thought he wouldn't recover. He tried to kill himself after a few months of not finding you. He went to counselling and therapy again. He's still doing therapy. I'm his psychiatrist right now." Kyle continued.

I bowed my head while Kyle scolds me. Emily was quiet. It's a good thing Grandpa took the kids back to the playroom. I felt something piercing my heart when Kyle confirmed that Jayden tried to kill himself. I have never imagined that he could do that because of me. I was really selfish.

"Jayden loves you but he always says that he hates you. Whenever he talks to me, it is all about you. How much he loves you back then and how much he hates you now. He was hurt. You broke his trust so I'm asking you to do your best so he could learn to trust you again. As his doctor, I advise you to always support and understand him. It's better if you come to him when he's on therapy so you could learn how to deal with his emotions. I know what he did to you the other night, he called me to apologize, I was mad at him. As your brother, I wanted to punch him in the face, but as his doctor I also understand what he felt." He continued.

I was surprised to know that Jayden confessed to Kyle about what he did to me. It wasn't easy to admit it, especially if you will tell it to the person's family. 

"Kyle, I'm sorry. I know I was selfish. I should have told him or you about my father. I was scared so I thought the best thing to do was to leave him." I said, still with my head down.

"Did Jayden tell you that he's been dating a lot of women?" Emily spoke finally.

I took a deep breath and nodded.

"He became a playboy again. Alora always scolds him. But he never listens to anyone. Whenever we tell him to stop, he will always remember what you did so we couldn't really blame him. He was deeply hurt, Peggy. So you might have a lot of rivals now. Do you remember Amanda? Our classmate in high school?" Emily asked.

I frowned. "I remember her. The girl with depression. She liked Leon."

"She's in love with Jayden now. They became close. She was a patient in A.E Psychiatric Hospital, she's now working as Jayden's secretary. She helped Jayden cope up with his depression. She confessed to Jayden a year ago. Jayden talked to Kyle about it. He was considering accepting her feelings and he wanted to ask Kyle's permission." Emily said.

I felt like my heart was being stabbed over and over again. I was so stupid. I am doubting myself even more. What should I do to bring Jayden's trust to me? A love without trust is not love at all. I looked at Emily. Tears began to fall from my eyes.

"What should I do? He doesn't trust me anymore. He said he loves me but he couldn't trust me." 

"Talk to him. We don't really know the status of their relationship now. After talking to Kyle, Jayden never mentioned him again but we know they still go out sometimes. She's his secretary so they work together and see each other almost everyday. You have Caden now. As your friend and your soon to be sister in law, I want you to be happy and I want you two to get back together. It's not easy but I will support you." She said. Kyle didn't say a word. I know he can't make a comment any further.
