My Evil Boy Toy

Chapter 164 - 162 - Truth

Father suddenly turned around and grabbed my shoulders. I was surprised and was not able to moved away from him.

"What did you say? You're pregnant? Answer me!" He shouted.

I was shocked and couldn't say a word. Then he let go of me and rushed towards Jayden, grabbing him by his collar.

"What the hell are you thinking? I told you to give her to me! Why did you make her pregnant?" He yelled at Jayden.

I was still stunned and confused by his reaction. I could sense that he was afraid of something.

Jayden smirked while staring at my father's eyes. He grabbed his hand that was holding his collar and grinned

"What are you hiding from us? What are you so afraid of?" Jayden asked.

"Matthew calm down." Dr.Richards was also confused.

I was still in shock but tried my best to calm down and walked towards Jayden and my father. I touched him in his arms and held his hand. He didn't say a word but was frowning when I guided his hand to my belly.

"Father, I am pregnant. Your grandchild. Tell us what's wrong? I am your daughter. We are family." I said in a gentle voice.

Father was looking at my belly then turnes his eyes on me. His expression wasn't dark anymore, it was calm.

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes then suddenly pulled me in his arms, embracing me.

"You really look like your mother." He murmured.

I wrapped my arms around him and cried. I could also feel his body shaking.

"Dad!" I shouted.

Finally, I was able to call him that. It has been so long that I wanted my real father to accept me. We can't erase the past but we can look forward to our future.

We stayed like that for I can't remember how long. Jayden and his father didn't leave but let us be. We sat on the sofa after so he could tell us everything.

"So are you going to confess?" Jayden asked.

I smacked him in the arms and glared at him. He was rubbing his arms but didn't say a word.

"You're in danger. All of you." He started.

"What do you mean?" Dr.Richards asked.

He looked at me and Jayden, his eyes became dark again but it wasn't meant for us. It's for someone else.

"The Forelli Clan remained the most powerful clan of the underworld for the past forty years. We have a lot of enemies from inside and outside of our clan. There were clans who wanted to ally with us by taking my daughters. Either with consent or by force." Father continued.

I felt Jayden tensed but not from fear, it was anger. We already knew that the Mafia treated their women differently. They were like toys that can be tosses aside or thrown away.

"Father, Venice said that Victoria was supposed to get married to Alejandro Rossi. Is it true?" I asked.

Father sighed and nodded.

"The Forelli Clan was starting to lose its power because of my daughters. Women from the Mafia Clan can be the key to an alliance. There were clans who were asking Violeta and Victoria's hands but I never accepted them. Instead I tried to find a way to get an alliance from other clans by scaring them. I planted spies within their clans so I could find their weakness then I will threaten them."

"But how about the Rossi's?" Jayden asked.

"The Rossis's were starting to get more alliance than the Forelli's because Alejandro gave her daughters and nieces to other clans. Alejandro and I were competing with each other. He wanted to be more powerful than us. When you got married and announced that I am your father, the Rossi's became interested. And not just them, but other clans as well. You are a princess afterall." Father answered.

"But why did it become Victoria?" I asked, curiously.

Father's eyes softened and I can see a mixture of sadness and regret.

"It was my mistake. I was trying not to involve you so I offered Victoria instead."

"But you said Peggy's in danger. Why? If they accepted Victoria, why are we in danger?" It was Jayden who asked.

"I changed my mind and rejected the marriage. I couldn't let Victoria marry that man. My daughters deserves happiness." He answered.

"Then why did you kidnap me?" I asked.

"I needed to scare you so you can go back here. Your husband was so conceited and full of himself. I wanted to show you that the Mafia was not an easy opponent."

Father has a different ways of showing his concern to his family. I could see it now. He was misinterpreted from the beginning. But still he's the reason why Jayden's mother was dead.

"You're just the same as me. You're conceited and you thought you could do eveything on your own. Ever since you were with my parents, you never show them that you needed help. You could at least told them the reasons why you have to distance yourself from them." Jayden gritted his teeth.

I'm not sure why he suddenly changed. He was fine just a moment ago.

"Love?" I called.

He looked at me and I realized that he switched. I grabbed his hand to calm him down. I was confused why he was acting like that. I thought Jayden already talked to his mothet. But why does it seem that his other self still wanted revenge?

"What's happening? Dr.Richards asked with a worried face.

I know he noticed a sudden change on Jayden's behavior. I'm not sure if his father knew something about that other guy and if Jayden told him about it.

"D-Dad, he, he-"

"I'm okay." Jayden answered.

"Son?" His father called.

Jayden looked at his father, reassuring him that he's okay. He was still the other guy but for some reason, he wasn't mad anymore.

"Yes. I am his other self but I'm not mad anymore with this old man. Mother won't be happy if I kill him." He answered.

My father frowned, looking at me with a confused expression. So I explained to them what has happened for the past few days.

"Are you sure you're safe with him?" Father asked.

I nodded and smiled. It was still a little bit awkward for me and I know for Jayden as well to act like nothing happened but I know eventually, we could be together without any doubt to each other.

"I love her. I would never hurt her. Unlike you, she almost died when you kidnapped her. You couldn't even properly tell us your reasons for doing all this. When we met in Flousia, you said you never cared for my mom. Its the same with Peggy's mom. You acted like you didn't care about them. Now, you're saying that you cared." Jayden said in a serious tone.

Father didn't answer back to Jayden. His expression was a mixture of guilt and embarrassment. He was looking at Jayden at first then moved his eyes away.

"Why didn't you tell father what you really wanted back then? Why did you let your father hurt everyone that you love? At first, I was wondering if you are capable of loving someone but then dad told us about your friendship. From his story, I don't think your friendship was fake. If you would think of everything from the beginning, you were always there to protect my mother. You never wanted to hurt her. Why don't you stop pretending and just tell us your side if story? The real one." Jayden continued.
