My Evil Boy Toy

Chapter 197 - Storm Part 1

Kyle didn't respond and just hugged me tight before releasing me. He couldn't ask me since he knew I didn't know anything either. 

When he released me, I smiled then walked towards Emily while he talked to Jayden. If it weren't for the threat of the Mafia, we would be completely rejoicing from the bottom of our hearts. But our joy was mixed with fear and restlessness.

"Congratulations." I greeted Emily.

She smiled back at me, looking really like a dignified queen. I hugged her tight, then the rest of our friends joined in.

"Your Majesty." Nina teased while doing a curtsy.

We laughed at it, trying not to show everyone that there were other things in our minds.

Our laughter was interrupted when we suddenly heard a slow clap. The people inside the hall looked in the direction where the noise came from.

We know it was the time we were all anticipating. The person who clapped was none other than Alejandro Rossi. 

From what she remembered, Venice said that Alejandro was thirty years older than their sister, Victoria. But the man who was walking towards them didn't look old. He looked like just around his early thirties.

He was about the same height as Luke with a pair of black eyes, pointed nose and a downturned lips. He was actually good looking and not some old fat bellied guy.

He was a few steps away from us when the royal guards stopped him. He raised his hands in surrender but four men rushed behind him, dressed as guests.

"I just wanted to greet the new king." He said in a casual tone.

Jayden and the others were standing a few feet in front of us. I felt anxious when I saw Caden was beside him, and the kid was holding hands with Alira. Maybe they were playing when they noticed it became quiet.

Jayden turned to Caden and signaled to walked towards me along with Alira. I saw my son dragged the little girl and I know that he understood that there's danger.

He looked at me and I was surprised that I didn't see a scared face. He was serious and his silver eyes were like his father's other personality, dark and cold.

Alira stayed behind Caden, not letting go of his hand, instead of running towards her mother and her twin brother.

"I believe you have to ask an audience to the king first." Someone from the royal family said.

I didn't bother to look who voiced it out. I was too busy thinking of some other things. I was looking at the man who was standing in front of the royal guards.

"Hmm. And I believe the new king would grant me an audience, right?" Alejandro answered.

Kyle didn't say a word, walked towards his throne followed by Emily. As the prince and princess, Jayden and I needed to stand near them. 

Kyle didn't order everyone to leave the throne room. He signaled to the royal guards to let Alejandro pass through but his men were not allowed.

I frowned when I didn't see Caden. I looked around and I saw him standing in between Luke and Alora, still holding hands with Alira.

"Love?" I whispered to Jayden.

He clasped his hand with mine and gently smiled at me.

"He'll be fine." He said when he felt I became anxious.

I nodded and took a deep breath then turned my eyes to Alora. She looked back, reassuring me that they will take care of Caden if anything went wrong.

"So what can I do to the Capo of the Rossi's?" Kyle started to ask.

Alejandro stood staring directly at Kyle. He didn't even bow or pay respect to the newly crowned king and queen. He really didn't care if he was in front of the royal family.

He then turned his gaze at me, making my spine shivers as his eyes looked at me from head to toe. It was a good thing that I chose a dress that didn't show up too much skin. I felt Jayden's aura changed and I knew it was his other self.

His other self was like Camila now, one of Alora's personalities. He would come out and take over every time he sensed something dangerous.

"I believe you have something to say to us, right? You wouldn't be here for nothing." Kyle asked again to get Alejandro's attention.

The man looked back at Kyle. His face suddenly became serious and dark.

"Your Majesty, I am here to take your sister." He blatantly answered.

We already knew about his plan but we didn't expect that he would tell us directly what he wanted.

"You do know that my sister was already married. I also do not meddle with my sister's personal affairs as long as she is happy and safe." Kyle reiterated each word.

We were surprised when he suddenly laughed. His laugh was like that of a devil. It was cold and eerie. I felt the goosebumps all over my body and my knees were starting to tremble.

"I don't think you understand. I am not asking your permission. I will take your sister, your throne and Flousia. Either you give it to me or I will get them all by force." He said, staring intently into Kyle's eyes.

Kyle didn't blink at all. He was also making eye contact with the enemy. I have never seen his eyes like that. There's no fear in it. He was staring at Alejandro with power burning in his eyes like a blazing sun. When I looked at Emily, she was the same, not showing any ounce of fear.

"I know you would say that. What makes you think that you could easily get what you want from us? You are underestimating the power of the royal family." Kyle answered back using his King's voice.

"You really don't know anything kid. What do you think what's happening outside of this room? Are you not surprised why I easily got inside the palace?"

"I also wonder why." Kyle simply answered.

Alejandro seemed very confident that he would win against us. But hearing Kyle talk to him like that, made me feel safe.

From Alejandro's expression, I know he was beginning to get impatient and pissed. He tilted his head to the side, gave a signal to his men.

It happened so fast. All I could hear was screams and squeals from the people inside the throne room. I looked from where Alora and the others were standing earlier to check on Caden.

I started to panic when I saw our friends were still there but Caden and Alira weren't. My eyes were asking Alora, then she looked down to her side and was also surprised that my son and her daughter were missing. She whispered to Luke and he started looking around.

"Nobody move! Or else we will be forced to shoot!" Alejandro shouted.

The royal guards were also in position. Guns from both sides were out, pointing at each other. Even without an order from Kyle, the royal guards will automatically act to protect their King.

My heart suddenly pounded loudly when two of the royal guards who were supposed to protect me and Jayden, pointed their guns at us. 

Kyle's eyes widened. I know he didn't expect that. The royal guards swore to protect the royal family, especially the King.

Jayden didn't move. I couldn't turn my eyes on him. I felt like I was going to fall anytime as my knees continued shaking. I was also worried about Caden and Alira. My friends were still standing and couldn't move since Alejandro's men were pointing their guns at them.

Kyle and Emily were still seated on the throne, protected by the royal guards. It was a relief that no one turned their backs on them.

Alejandro moved and started walking towards me. I was surprised and confused when Jayden suddenly let go of my hand. I was thinking that he did that because a gun was pointed in his head.

I bit my lips as my whole body started to tremble when Alejandro was getting closer. Am I going to be taken again by the Mafia? Will Jayden allow another man to touch me in front of him? I thought to myself.

Alejandro stopped in front of me. Glanced at Jayden with a smirk on his face. I wanted to run away and barf. Just thinking that another man would touch me other than my husband made my stomach crumble.

He turned his gaze again to me. I couldn't move with the thought that someone might get shot if I ran away from him. I closed my eyes when I saw his hand move to touch my face.

I waited. But nothing landed on my cheek. I opened my eyes and was surprised to see Jayden was now holding Alejandro. His arm was wrapped around the man's neck while his other hand was holding a gun, pointed at Alejandro.

"What made you think I will allow you to touch my wife? She's mine. I will never allow anyone to touch even a strand of her hair!" Jayden said with gritted teeth.

He was mad. He was quiet and didn't move earlier, letting go of my hand was part of his plan to get Alejandro.

"Love?" I called.

"Get behind me now!" He ordered and so I did.

He then turned to Kyle and to Luke.. It was a signal they've been waiting for.
