Chapter 95 - 95 - A Heartless Man

I tensed when he suddenly called Jayden's mom a traitor. How dare he say that to my husband? He's maybe my biological father but he has no right to call any of the people I love like that?

"I am the son of that doctor and that traitor." Jayden answered.

I was surprised. His voice was calm and I couldn't even hear any disgust from him.

Matthew Forelli smirked. Then he looked at me again, then to Jayden.

"Both of you looked like your mothers." He said.

For some reason his voice became different. It changed. He took a deep breath and stared at us.

"Ask me anything you want to know."

Jayden squeezed my hand, as if telling me to go ahead and ask my father, so I did.

"I assume you didn't know about me? How did you end up having an affair with mom? From what I know, she ran away and your engagement was broken." I started.

He was quiet for a moment, maybe he was thinking if he would answer the question or not.

"Your mother never loved Benjamin. She never loved anyone. She doesn't believe in love. I am not the only man in her life. I hate to say this but your mom was rebellious and was sleeping with any man even when she was still here. She ran away from me because she knew I wouldn't allow her to mess around anymore. The engagement was like a prison for her and she hated being controlled." He answered.

I know that already. Grandpa told me about it and even my foster father said she was sleeping with different men. She wasn't satisfied with just one.

"Did you love her?" I asked.

"No." He simply answered.

"Do you feel anything towards me?" I asked, curiously.

He looked at the woman beside her, then turned to me.

"I was surprised that I have a daughter with Catherine. This is the first time I met you, do you expect me to accept you that easily? I don't even know if it's true. Your mom was sleeping with me and my brother at the same time so I'm not sure." He said.

I was shocked to hear that mom also slept with his brother. Is he really my father? Or is it someone else? Now I'm beginning to wonder who's my real father.

"How about a DNA test? To make sure if he's really your father?" Kyle suddenly suggested.

"It's fine with me. Don't get me wrong. I don't have a problem if you're my daughter. We're not going to have a father daughter relationship after all. You belong here while I belong to the underworld." He answered.

His words were like knives slowly piercing my heart. I was rejected once again by my supposed father. I began to question why I have to look for my father. I have my husband, I have Kyle and Grandpa. I have my friends and my son. I have Jayden's dad and I have Benjamin Miller. He wasn't the perfect dad but he regrets what he did to me and the last time we talked, he was trying to reach out to me.

"It's fine. I just want to know where I came from. Whether you are my father or not, I don't really care." I said, trying not to show him that I was hurting inside.

He then turned to Jayden and looked at him intensely.

"How about you? Any question?" He asked Jayden.

"Did you kill my mother or ordered to kill my father?" Jayden asked with a blank expression.

My supposed father frowned. Does it mean he didn't know anything about it?

"I ordered the killing of your father and his son, you." He answered.

My heart was in disdain. How could he?

"Your mom ran away. She knew the consequences of running away from the Mafia. I was supposed to kill her and that includes the doctor and their child. I have to so I can rule the underground." He said without any remorse.

"You said you're the one who ordered to kill me and my father. But why did my mom end up dead? She was raped and murdered by three men. In front of me." Jayden continued.

Matthew Forelly frowned again.

"She was raped?" He asked.

Jayden nodded. "They slit her throat after raping her."

He didn't reply. He was quiet and I could see that he was gritting his teeth. He was trying to hide his true feelings.

"You said supposed? Are you saying you didn't order to kill Jayden's mom?" I asked.

"Look. Things are complicated in the underworld. Even if I didn't order the killing, someone will." He responded.

"Just answer yes or no. Did you order to kill my mom? Do not make it more complicated." Jayden demanded.

I was nervous. Matthew Forelli seems like he would kill anyone who demanded something from him. I held my breath and waited for him to answer Jayden.

"Yes." He answered.

I wanted to cry. He was really the reason my mom in law was dead. He was the reason Jayden had a trauma and a split personality. I was trying hard not to get emotional while my heart was thumping and pounding loudly that I could hear it.

Jayden didn't say a word. He was just staring at the man who caused his mother's demise. He wasn't showing any expression. Just blank.

"What does it feel? Knowing that you are married to the daughter of the man who killed your mother? Are you still willing to continue your marriage with my daughter?"

Calling me his daughter makes me sick, I felt like I wanted to run and barf. How could I be the daughter of a heartless man? 

"You and her are two different people. I loved her even before I knew her father. I married her even if I knew you killed my mother. She may be your daughter and it was painful to know that her father killed my mother but she's the reason I keep on breathing. She's the reason I am still alive because my heart beats for her. And because of her, I forgive you." Jayden said without hesitation.

My feelings changed from disdain to a sudden happiness. I was proud of the man Jayden had become. He wasn't the boy toy I met in high school. He became so much more.
