Chapter 94 - 94 - The Mafia Boss

We were surprised. He was supposed to arrive in two days and not today, especially not tonight.

Jayden looked at his watch and it was around nine in the evening. Why the hell did he come here at night?

Jayden took my hand and kissed it. He could see that I became anxious. My heart started pounding loudly and I was sighing continuously.

"Hey relax. Inhale and exhale. Calm down. I'm here." He said, calmly.

Then Kyle and Emily came inside the office. Their expressions were like that of a true king and queen, that nothing could scare them and make them yield.

"Margaret! Stand up! Don't show him any weakness. You are a princess. Even if he's your father and the most powerful man of a Mafia Clan, you should never show him your true feelings. Even if the words he will say to you would hurt you a thousand times, never give him another reason to hurt you even more." Kyle said in a firm tone.

"Do you know why he suddenly came? The meeting was supposed to be in two days right? That was in his letter." I asked.

"Don't ever trust the Mafia, Margaret. We already expected that he would come sooner. He's the current head of the underworld so he wouldn't actually give a date and a time, he will do what he pleases." Kyle answered.

"Will Grandpa be there?" Jayden asked.

Kyle shook his head and answered.

"No. He's resting. I asked everyone not to disturb him. Me and Emily will be there. Starting tonight, I will be the Prince Regent. Grandpa will have to rest for the time being." He suddenly said.

"Is he alright?" I became more nervous when I heard from Kyle that grandpa needs to rest.

"He is, for now. So Margaret, the country is now in our hands. I need you to be strong so you could help me. Emily and I need both of you." He said, seriously.

I looked at Jayden and I couldn't see any fear in his eyes. I was still anxious but was relieved, it's a good thing that Caden went home with our friends in Queen's. He will be safe there.

"Go to your room and prepare. Meet him as the prince and princess of Flousia, not as his daughter and son in law." Emily ordered.

It was the first time I saw her talk like that. She talks with authority and when I looked at her, it's like she suddenly transformed into a queen.

Jayden and I just nodded and obeyed them. He held my hand and pulled me to go to our room. I was nervous but I knew my family would be there.

It was a tradition in Flousia to be in formal clothing if someone requested an audience with the king. So I changed into a formal dress and put on a tiara. Jayden wore his royal robe prepared by the royal tailor. He doesn't really like to wear it but it was necessary.

I was in front of the mirror, looking at my reflection while letting out deep breaths. I was startled when Jayden hugged me from behind.

"You're thinking again." He whispered.

I could feel his breath brushing my skin.

"I can't help it. I am really nervous." I said.

"It's natural. I feel the same way. We will finally know the truth. I've been waiting for this day so we could move forward. Whatever happens, whatever we find, my love for you will never change." He said while giving me kisses on my neck.

It wasn't really a proper timing but I felt the heat inside my body grow so I moaned. I turned to him and wrapped my arms around him.

"Hey. Let's go and get this over with. Later, I will serve you, my husband." I said, smiling naughtily while giving him a quick kiss.

We walked outside the room and there were several royal guards waiting outside. I know Kyle ordered them to protect us. They were following us when we walked to the throne room, and to my surprise men in black suits started walking in front of us.

I looked at Jayden, confused.

"Are they your men?" I asked.

"Yes. They were here the first day I came but they were just hiding. They're here to protect you." He said.

We walked holding each other's hand, never letting go. Our arrival was announced and as we entered the room, a man and a woman were standing in front of the throne. The woman turned to look at me and Jayden but the man didn't.

On the throne was Kyle and beside him was Emily. No fear can be seen on their faces. Kyle's eyes were different and so were Emily's.

Tradition says that we need to stand beside the throne, one step lower than Kyle and Emily's.

My hand started to get sweaty as we got closer to the man who wasn't even looking in our direction. The woman was observing me and looking at me from head to toe. I think she was a few years younger than me, maybe around eighteen. 

I felt Jayden squeezing my hand and when I looked at him, he was smiling. I smiled back and I calmed down.

When we finally got closer to Kyle, I turned around so I could see the man who was said to be Matthew Forelli, my father.

I looked at him with a blank expression. I need to pretend that I didn't feel anything towards him. The woman beside him has long black straight hair and blue eyes. When I looked at the man, he also had blue eyes like the sky.

He looks young and good looking. He is about six feet and well built with muscles and all like the typical Mafia boss. His expression was blank when he finally looked at her, then to Jayden.

I felt nervous again, my heart was beating like a drum when he turned his gaze to Jayden. But Jayden didn't turn his eyes away from him. He was also staring at him.

Kyle breaks the silence and speaks.

"We believe you asked an audience to the prince and princess. May we know the reason why?" He asked.

"Yes, Your Highness. We watched the wedding the other day and was surprised that my name was mentioned as the princess' father." He started.

His voice was loud and clear, echoing inside the throne room. But what surprised me was Kyle's voice. It was even more commanding and louder than anyone.

"This is Princess Margaret and her husband Prince Jayden. You could ask them what you want to know." Kyle said.

The man looked at me again, carefully observing me before asking.

"Your highness, you are Princess Catherine's daughter?" He asked.

"Yes I am. And you are my father. I am the fruit of my mother's affair with you." I said in a firm voice.

Then he looked at Jayden again.

"And you are the son of that doctor and that traitor." He suddenly said.
