Chapter 97 - 97 - Letter

Right after they left the throne room, I broke down and cried. My knees were shaking the whole time but because of Jayden, I managed to stand still.

Jayden pulled me to his arms as I cried my heart out. We already expected his answers but it was still painful. I was not only hurt because he showed little to no affection towards me but because he didn't show any remorse from what he did to Jayden's mom.

I was hurting for my husband. He didn't show any sadness nor did he have any hatred towards my father. He couldn't get mad at him and even forgave him, all because of me.

I couldn't explain the pain in my heart. Thinking that my own father caused great suffering to my husband, breaks my heart.

"Leave us." Kyle ordered the royal guards and Jayden's security team.

When everyone went out, Kyle stood up and rushed into me, holding on to my shoulders and kissed me on the forehead.

"You'll be okay." He said then looked at Jayden. "Take her to your room." 

Jayden nodded and carried me. I felt exhausted so I leaned on to his chest and closed my eyes.

I felt Jayden tighten his arms around me. He isn't saying anything while he carries me to our bedroom. I know he was controlling his emotions and I don't like it.

When he put me down on the bed, he wasn't even looking at me.

"Love?" I whispered. But he turned around and was about to walk away.

"Jayden, look at me!" I almost yelled. He was still not looking but I could hear him taking a deep breath.

"Jayden! I said look at me!" I yelled.

Then he turned to me with a blank expression. It felt like something was piercing my heart.

"What?" He asked.

"Say something please." I begged. I feel like I'm going to lose my mind if he acts like that.

"What do you want me to say?" He asked, staring at me.

"Anything. Yell at me. Shout! Curse! If you're mad, just tell me please. Tell me what you feel. Don't keep it to yourself. I am your wife, I need to know. You're hurt, right? You're in pain. So please show me." I begged in a gentle voice.

He took a deep breath then started punching his chest with his fist.

"It is. The truth hurts so much but you know what's more painful? Seeing you cry like that. Seeing you hurt by your own father." He said.

"I cried because I know you're hurting. If I could turn my back on him and deny him as my father, I will. For you." I said.

He shook his head. "No. He's still your father. That would never change. I just couldn't take it when he treated you like nothing." He said, gritting his teeth.

I pouted, my lips tremble. I thought he was mad because father admitted he killed his mom and he's already starting to get mad at me. I was worried. But he was still thinking about me.

I was crying again. He walked towards me and wiped my tears. Then pulled me in his arms again.

"Tsk. I hate to see you cry. So please stop. It's painful to see you like that. Your father may have abandoned you but I'm here, and Caden. Let's just go over with the test and then whatever you decide, I will support you. But I don't want you to go there. Meet your sisters here." He said.

I nodded. He was caressing my back until I calmed down. Then I remember the paper Venice gave me. I looked at my hand and at Jayden.

"What's that?" He asked.

"Venice gave this to me earlier. As if she wanted me to hide it, so I didn't say a word." I answered.

He frowned and took the paper from me. We sat on the couch to see what's on the paper. When we checked it, we were shocked.

"Do you think it's true? Or just a trap?" I asked, looking at Jayden.

"I'm not sure. We could consult Kyle about this, if you like. I think that's better." He said.

I agreed, so we went to Kyle's office.

"What do you think?" Jayden asked.

"It's dangerous and I don't like the idea of meeting them outside the palace but it depends on Margaret and if you allow her. She's their family and I don't want to use my authority on her to meet them." Kyle answered.

We stayed quiet, thinking. Jayden was staring at me, waiting on my decision.

I sighed and looked Jayden in the eyes. I know he already knew what I was thinking. He closed his eyes and smiled at me when he stared back into my eyes.

"Fine. But I'll go with you. And we'll bring my men and the royal guards. You will stay close to me and don't ever let go of my hand. I won't say no for an answer." He said in a serious tone.

I smiled and jumped into his arms. Giving him small kisses on the face.

"Thank you!" I exclaimed.

He kissed me back, wrapping his arms around me.

"You know I can't say no to you. And it's written on your face that you want to help them." He said.

Even if we're still not sure if Venice and the other girls were my sisters, I wanted to help them. The note simply says, 'PLEASE HELP US'.

I'm not sure what it means or what kind of help they needed. From what we saw, Matthew Forelli cared for Venice and her other daughters, except me of course, so I am not sure why they are asking for help.

I was jealous when he actually showed affection to Venice earlier and it seems like his eyes and heart softened when he talked to Venice. Maybe he wasn't the almighty and powerful Mafia boss like they said. He has a weakness and I saw that it was her daughters.
