My Evil Boy Toy

Chapter 218 - Fake

Chapter 218 – Fake

We decided to move Caden and Alira's engagement to make sure that mom would be able to attend. She was still in bed after a week but could now stand with the help of someone. 

We had informed the royal family about mother being alive and what Benjamin did to her. They were all willing to help find the man who caused damage to the royal family's reputation.

We were still planning on how we would tell grandpa about it, though. Emily suggested that Kyle and I bring him the news, and we had decided to talk to him before the engagement party of the kids. 

Kyle and I would sometimes stay in my father's bedroom to talk with mother. I was happy to see my father caring about my mom. He would occasionally hold her hand, then wipe her tears. He asked the servants to bring in some healthy food and feed her.

I wanted to be embarrassed by his gestures, but I felt his love towards her. After all these years, father only loved one woman. He may be the most notorious Mafia boss, but his heart would always melt for her.

"Mom?" I called.

Father frowned when it seemed that I distracted them. I giggled when I saw his expression.

"Do you still love dad?" I suddenly asked.

"Margaret!" Father shouted, surprised by what I had just asked. 

Mom chuckled. "I do. It has always been your father. But I had some issues on my own when I was your age. I was stubborn and a bitch. But my heart always belongs to him." Mom honestly answered.

Father was surprised by mom's answer and was stunned for a moment. I wanted to laugh at his reaction. He was like Jayden. A man with so much pride but would blush for a woman. 

"How about you, dad?" I asked, looking at him intently.

He glared at me, then sighed.

"You don't need to ask me that. You already know the answer. Your mother knew about it. But why are you asking that so suddenly?" He answered with annoyance.

"I'm just wondering if you want to get married. I mean, you were supposed to marry each other, right?" I said.

They glanced at each other, then looked at me. I could see loneliness and regret in my parents' eyes.

"Margaret, I am married to Benjamin. Before I could marry your father, I should file divorce first. But I'm sure he would never allow that." Mom wistfully answered.

I was quiet for a moment. I forgot that mom married Benjamin after running away from Flousia. I looked at Kyle, who was quietly sitting on the couch, reading some newspaper. He noticed I was staring at him and frowned.

"What do you want?" He asked.

I sweetly smiled, showing him my pearly white teeth.

"I don't like that smile of yours. You were going to use my authority again." He said, annoyed,

He took a deep breath, then put the newspaper on the center table. He rubbed his temple and flinched.

"So what's on your mind? Tell me. I'll see what I can do." He answered in surrender.

"Really?" I exclaimed.

He nodded. Then I looked at my parents; mom was eating some oranges while my father was feeding her.

"Can you check if mom's marriage with Benjamin was registered here? There's a possibility. I read that even when a royal was exiled, then decided to get married, it should be registered here. It can't be done in another place."

Kyle stared at me for a moment before answering.

"Their marriage was invalid. I have already looked into it. It wasn't registered here or anywhere. The marriage was fake." 

My eyes widened. I was confused again. Why would Benjamin fake their marriage? If he wanted to get Flousia, that's the easiest way.

"Benjamin's identity was a fake either. Luke and the others were already investigating further. But I could guarantee you that his marriage to mom is invalid."

"Mom, dad! Did you hear that? Did you hear what Kyle said?" I yelled.

They were frowning, and confusion was on their faces, while I had a huge smile on mine.

"Calm down, Margaret. What did your brother say?" Father asked.

"Mom's marriage to Benjamin was fake." Then Kyle continued and told them what he had just told me.

Father's face lit up as well as my mom's. I could feel the happiness coming from them while they glanced at each other.

"You could get married! Let's prepare for your wedding!" I shouted with joy.

"Margaret, can your father and I talk about this first? I mean, we still have problems with Benjamin. We still have a lot on our plate. And look at me, with these bruises and scars, with a body like this, I won't be pretty in a wedding dress." She blushed.

Father chuckled. Then he turned his gaze to me.

"Don't worry. I will marry your mother. This time I won't take no for an answer. But, she has to recover first. Besides, we have already planned your son's engagement. He'll get mad if we postpone it again." Father said in a reassuring voice.

I nodded and smiled at them. I was so excited when I found out that there was a big chance for them to go with the marriage. It was planned a long time ago, and I was thrilled to see my parents finally together.

"By the way, I remembered Jayden told me that Benjamin transferred all his properties under your name. And I think Caden's as well? Have you already checked on that?" Kyle asked.

I frowned, thinking about the reason why Kyle suddenly asked about it. Then I realized we could use that against Benjamin.

I took my phone and dialed Missy's number.

"Can you look into the documents Benjamin gave me? All the documents confirming the transfer of all his properties, including his company under my name and Caden's." I ordered before ending the call.

I looked at Kyle, giving him a mischievous smile.
