Chapter 109 - 109 - Meeting His Family

Love?" I called.

We were on the way back to the palace but I noticed we missed a turn and was on a different route.

"Hmm?"

"Where are we going?" I asked.

"To the Castello's house. Grandpa and my other relatives wanted to meet you." He said.

I suddenly got anxious. The Castello's are his mother's family and I am the daughter of the man who killed their own.

"Hey. Relax. It's okay. We're okay. Don't worry." Jayden said when he sensed I was anxious.

I nodded and rested my head to rest. I decided to trust everything to my husband. And it's the same for him.

When we arrived at the Castello's mansion, we were greeted by Jayden's aunt. When we first met, she was cold and her aura was like Camila's. But now she was smiling sweetly and sincerely. It suits her.

"Aunt Lucille!" Jayden kissed her on the cheek.

"It's nice to see you. I thought you're not going to visit us." She said.

"We're kind of busy, you know. We're trying to have another baby." He suddenly said which made me blush.

"Oh I see. Princess, how are you?" She asked when she turned to me.

"Please call me Peggy. No need to be so formal, Aunt Lucille." I said, smiling.

Inside the house, Jayden introduced me to the other members of his family. He has a lot of Uncles and Aunts. The Castello's are a big family and I really like how they treated each other. You would never imagine that they are one of the Mafia Clans.

I thought I would feel an outcast but they were actually very accommodating and no one looks at me differently.

Jayden's grandfather and uncles asked him to talk to the office. Maybe it's related to the other clans or about my father so I was left with the women of his family.

"Peggy, where did you meet Jayden?" One of his aunts asked.

"We met in a friend's house. His father was my friend's psychiatrist and that's where it started." I answered. I wanted to share it in detail but I'm not sure if they want to hear it.

"Is it love at first sight?" Gianna, one of Jayden's cousins, asked.

"Not really. At first, we agreed to be a couple for a week but eventually we fell in love." I said.

"Oh tell us more!" They said.

Then I started telling them about our love story.

"That was so pretty!" Gianna said after I finished.

"Next time maybe you could bring Caden so he can play with his cousins." Aunt Lucille said.

"I will." I answered simply.

When another couple arrived with their daughter, Gianna pulled me and introduced me to her.

"Peggy, this is Marissa, my friend. She has a crush on Jayden but I told her she's off limits." She whispered.

Marissa blushed but reached out her hand to shake mine.

"Hello, nice to meet you." I said.

I had tea with Jayden's aunts and was asked by Gianna to join them in their chats. They were about my age so I agreed. I'm not really a friendly person. My friends were only the girls at Queen's and Missy. I never had any other friends in school except them.

We went to the garden and sat down for another tea session. They were chatting about something when I noticed that Marissa was glancing at me. I don't really know why. Maybe she was checking on my face to see what Jayden likes about me.

I got conscious when she would sometimes look at me with hatred and dislike. Did she like Jayden that much to the point that she hates me?

After an hour, Jayden and his cousin Xavier appeared. They were both good looking men if you look at them. Most of the Castello's have blonde hair and silver eyes like Jayden. Xavier looks like him, maybe because he was Aunt Lucille's son.

Marissa's face lit up when she saw Jayden and to my surprise, she stood up and ran towards Jayden. I didn't hear what she said to him but she was obviously flirting with him.

Jayden wasn't really paying attention to her. He continued to walk towards me and his eyes were only focused on mine. 

When he got closer, he leaned then kissed me on the lips. It wasn't just a peck, it was gentle and sweet but he used his tongue and invaded my mouth.

I was blushing when he let me go and bit my lips. 

"I missed you." He whispered and smiled at me.

I saw his cousins were shocked but amused. Marissa's face became pale and her eyes were a mixture of jealousy and disgust.

"Wow Jayden! You were away from her just for an hour and you missed her that much already?" Xavier asked with a wide grin on his face.

"Yeah, if I could only bring her with me the whole day, I'll do it. I feel incomplete if I don't see her." Jayden answered.

I saw Marissa was glaring at me. I got annoyed by the way she looked at me and Jayden. I need to tell her that Jayden is off limits. I don't want another woman like Amanda roaming around my husband.

I held Jayden's collar and pulled him closer to me, kissing him more aggressively. I slid my tongue inside his mouth, tasting and savoring his tongue. I was satisfied when he kissed me back.

We didn't realize that his cousins were cheering and squealing. His aunts and uncles including his grandfather were also there, smiling.

I was so red when he pulled away slightly from my face and leaned his forehead to mine.

"You're pissed." He whispered.

"A little. I just wanted them to know you are mine." I murmured.

He smiled and kissed me again.

"Get a room!" Xavier shouted.

We laughed and continued our chat. Jayden's family was kind and loving. I hope my father's family was like them, but I know it wasn't. The Forelli Clan was so much different from them. I haven't met them and I don't have any plans to meet them. The diary tells it all and some other rumors about them.

"Are you not bothered with the fact that your father killed Jayden's mother?" Someone suddenly asked in the middle of our laughs. It was Marissa.
