Chapter 113 - 113 - The Rebellious Princess

I could hear some distinct voices nearby. I was already half awake but my senses were still disarranged. I was trying to open my eyes but I was having a hard time so I decided to focus on my hearing and pretended to be unconscious.

"What are you planning to do with her?" It's a woman's voice.

"It's none of your business. She's my daughter, don't interfere with my plans." I know it was my father's voice.

"Boss, now that she's here. Are we going to leave her husband? Our spy is still there waiting for your order." Another man said and it was the voice of the man who took me.

"Kill that bastard!" He blurted.

No! Is it Jayden? Is he ordering them to kill Jayden? How far would he go? What does he want from me? From us? Jayden was right, he would never listen to me.

I have to gather my strength and talk. I have to stop him.

I tried my best to open my eyes and talk. I still couldn't feel anything from my waist down. My hands were tied at the back, making my wrists numb, but I could already move my fingers. 

I curled my lips and forced myself to bite it. I gasped for air then opened my eyes. It was blurry at first and all I could see was silhouettes of the people in front of me.

"S-stop! P-Please!" I whispered.

"Finally! You're awake." It was my father.

When my vision became clear, I saw him signaled to his men and they walked towards me, supporting me to sit up.

"Father please. Don't hurt him." I said, almost begging.

"Why? Tell me the reason why I shouldn't kill your husband?" He asked with a cold tone.

"He's your family now. Can't you feel anything towards me? I am your daughter." I asked.

Then he laughed. His laughter was like a devil echoing inside the room. From the looks of it, I was taken into a house. And it wasn't just a house but a mansion. The decorations of the room were expensive and well-maintained, so I think this is the Forelli mansion.

"Your mother was one of those women who insulted me, why would I treat you like my daughter?" He said.

I frowned. Grandpa said they were in love but he was a liar and a womanizer so mom was fed up and left him.

"You didn't know?" He asked.

He looked at the people inside the room. I was watching him and I could see that he was hesitating to talk to me about my mother. It was a confirmation from what Emily said. He doesn't trust anyone even in the Forelli Clan.

"Leave us." He ordered.

When we were alone, he stood up and walked towards the small table in the room. He took the bottle of wine and poured a glass of it. He put a cube of ice and took a sip.

"I was in love with your mother. It was the truth. I thought she felt the same way towards me. It's true I lied to her about my true identity saying I was a businessman and gave her a false name. I told her that because I was afraid she wouldn't look at me if she knew I was from a Mafia family. She was my first love." He started.

"But they said you have a lot of women." I murmured.

"I was young and if you grew up in a Mafia Clan, the first things you need to learn was to kill a person and to fuck a woman. You will have to be a made man at the age of thirteen, making your first kill and losing your innocence. I was the next boss of the underground. I never thought I would fall in love and worst, to a princess. Your mom and I were okay, we started as friends. I know she was sleeping with different men before me. She was rebellious and couldn't be satisfied with just one man. When she found out that I was a Forelli, she got mad and stopped seeing me. So I forced my father to arrange our marriage. Your grandfather didn't have any choice since we were more powerful than the royal family back then." He continued.

He then walked to the chair from where he was seated earlier, facing me. I looked into his eyes and there it was again, there was sadness in there.

"Your mom knew if she would marry me, I would never allow her to do the things she did. She would be tied to me and that is what scares her. She felt she would be imprisoned but in truth, I was planning to take her around the world and go on a journey with her."

"What happened? Why did she run away with dad?" I asked.

I didn't realize I called my foster father 'dad', I saw pain in his eyes when I said that.

"She went berserk. Saying she would rather die than to marry me. It was painful so I forced myself into her but I stopped in the middle because I couldn't hurt her. But I warned her and told her that I would never let her go. The next thing I knew, she ran away with Benjamin." He said in a sad voice.

"How did you find her? And why did you have an affair with her after she married another man?" I asked, confused.

"I met her again in a bar. It was a coincidence. I was still in love with her so we had sex a few times but I found out she was also sleeping with my brother. I gave up when I realized she would never change. She was independent and a free woman. No man could tie her down. I didn't know I got her pregnant." He answered.

"How about Jayden's mom? Why did you kill her?" I asked in a serious tone.

I was looking at him and I know my face became dark.

He took a deep breath and stared back at me.
