I trembled. My knees weakened and I broke down the floor. Kyle rushed into me.

“Who is it? Why?” Kyle asked. ​​

“One of my men. He said he looks like one of the men who killed my sister.” She answered.

I looked at her when she said sister. So this is his aunt. Is she the one he attacked when she first switched with her mother?

“Sister? You’re his aunt?” I asked.

“Yes. Your Majesty, my nephew is broken, we would like to ask your permission to give him to us so we can take care of him.” She said looking at my grandfather.

I suddenly snapped and my blood boils.

“Take care of him? Do you really think I will let you take him away from me? Are you crazy? He was broken because of you! He suffered because of you! Do you even have the slightest idea what he’ve been through? Don’t you dare take him or even try to come near him! I don’t care who you are or what you’re capable of doing. I won’t let anyone of you hurt him again!” I screamed and walked away from them.

I ran to where Jayden is. I want to see him. I burst inside the room and saw him surrounded by doctors.

“What happened?” I asked.

“His vital signs dropped earlier. But he’s stable now.” One of the doctors said.

“Why? You said he’s not hurt. He doesn’t have any injury.” I’m beginning to get hysterrical.

“Princess, we checked his whole body, we didn’t find any injury except his hand. Does he have a history of some illness? We need it to see if that is affecting him to wake up.” The other doctor said.

Dad. I need to call him. I need to tell him about Jayden. I took out my phone and dialed his number.

“Dad.” I said in trembling voice.

“Peggy? Are you okay?” He asked.

Then I brust out crying.

“Dad, I’m sorry. It’s Jayden. Something’s wrong with him. I-I don’t know what to do. I don’t know how to help him.” I cried.

Then I told him what happened. Jayden’s father asked me to stay with him. He said I should stay calm and hold Jayden’s hand. He will come to Flousia the next day.

It’s just been a few hours since we arrived but a lot has already happened. I feel so exhausted already.

‘Beep’ It’s the tone from our group chat.

Alora: Peggy, stay strong. I asked Luke if we can fly there but we couldn’t. There’s been a problem with A.E. He thinks someone is attacking us all at once. We’re supporting you from here. Luke went to the headquarters to check if he can use IT. Percy and Sophie will be coming with Dr.Richards instead. Please be safe.”

I wanted to send them a message but I decided not to. They will just worry for us. I hope Luke can find something. The software he created can hack all electronic and communication devices in the world. This is a top secret A.E Corporation has, hidden to a secret location. Even the government won’t be able to detect where is Luke’s main headquarters.

I sat beside Jayden and held his hand. He looks like a boy when he sleeps like that. The first time we met I thought he was a girl. He was disguised as a girl. His hair was clipped on the sides and he’s wearing a dress.

I got curious when I found out he was a guy. At first it was really just a one week fling. I didn’t expect I will fall in love with him. He was rude, he bully me a lot, he’s a pervert and a womanizer. I never thought he will be the most important person in my life. He was the first person to understand my pain. He was the one who accepted me as his family. He thought me how to open my heart, to trust and to love unconditionally.

“Hey you said you won’t leave me no matter what. How could you do this to me? I’m waiting for you. Are you in the dark again? Are you cold out there? Can you hear me? If you do, just follow my voice. I swear if you don’t get out there, I will follow you even in the depths of hell. I’m here. So please, come back to me.” I said, sobbing.

How can fate let this happen? We are both involved with the Mafia. It might be possible that our clans were enemies.

His family may be telling the truth that they loved his mother but I don’t see any affection from them towards Jayden. They might wanted to use him against his father. I can’t let that happen.

I know they’re dangerous but they don’t know what we are capable of. I will protect the man I love. I will protect my family.

I’m in that thought when Kyle came in. I looked at him as if asking what happened with Jayden’s uncle.

“Don’t worry. I will handle them.” He simply said.

“Are you sure?” I asked.

“Peggy, I know you knew me as just Kyle Wade, the nerdy guy who fell in love with one of your best friends. But before that, I am the Prince of Flousia. And I am your brother. I will protect you and our family, so you can protect the man you love.” He said in a gentle voice.

He opened his arms as I stood up and jumped into him. I cried in his arms. For just a short time, our love between friends became a love between siblings.

“Cry if you need to. Your big brother is here.” He said. “I know you’ve been alone for a long time, and I thank Jayden for looking after you. From now on, let your big brother take care of you and my soon to be brother in law.”

I’m thankful that this happened when I finally found my real family. I feel safer with him and grandfather. I know Jayden and I will be okay because we have our friends and a family who supports us.
