Dinner Mishap

“Dad, Lexie-"
" I am not obsessed with anyone. And as you already know, your other son was the indecent one that cheated on his girlfriend and got another girl pregnant.” I said defending myself.
“I wasn't talking to you. If I am not talking to you, don't talk. I already know what you are after. You want to use your son to keep a tight hold on Kingston. Too bad that he is soft hearted. Since you are my daughter-in-law, behave yourself. Do you understand?” King's father asked talking to me before leaving.
A few minutes later, I head out with Shawn in my hand as I try to leave King's company. I didn't want to stay here for even a second longer after what King's father had told me. Running after me, King blocks my way trying to stop me from leaving.
" Lexie, calm down. I will go and talk to him. Don't mind-" King said making me halt in my footsteps.
“ Don't bother. From now on, I will be dropping Shawn at a kindergarten or something. It's better than having everyone treat me and my son as if we are trash. I didn't want to marry you. You're the one-” I said gasping as King dragged my hand taking me outside.
Once we are outside, King takes Shawn out of my hand giving him over to his nanny before dismissing her. Once she is gone, King drags me harshly cornering me against the car.
“ Can you calm down? At this rate, you will give out our secret. Don't you know my family by now? I made this deal with you because I thought you would be strong enough to deal with them. But you are constantly allowing them to get under your skin. Lexie, I won't allow anyone treat you and your son like trash. Trust me ” King said staring at me straight in the eye making me stunned.
Just like that, I can't help but remember that night when we were together. He was Kingston. Every time he was close to me, I couldn't help but feel an undeniable attraction towards him even though I didn't want to. I should hate him since he looked exactly like the man that had betrayed me but I couldn't. It was different when King was near me. As if my body wanted to relieve that feeling again.
“ I understand so can you move back? I can't think when-” I said stopping as King leans down sniffing my neck.
Being so close to him was torture.
" Your perfume is good. Let's go back." King said all of a sudden dragging my hand as he leads me back to the office.
Although I open my mouth to try and stop him, nothing seems to come out allowing King to take me back in. When we get back home, I encounter another problem as I arrive to the kitchen spotting his grandmother cooking with Prince's wife.
“ Oh, Lexie. You're back. I take it that Kingston is back too, right? How was your classes?” King's grandmother asked making me drop the glass of water I was holding on the counter.
“ Yes, it was okay. I just came back. Just wait, let me-”
“ Take this. Grandma cannot be in the kitchen while you are chilling with your husband. No one is your servant." Prince's wife said rudely as she placed a bowl of shrimps and a plate in front of me.
Staring at the plate, I keep quiet for a while knowing I had made the wrong decision to come out when it wasn't midnight yet.
“You don't know how to clean shrimps?” King's grandmother asked making shake my head.
“ I know how to. Let me do it." I said folding my sleeves as I sit down at the dinning table getting ready to start while they are cooking.
Within seconds, my arms start to itch me making me groan. I couldn't complain about it while the two of them seemed active in the kitchen. They could call me lazy or even worse. King's grandmother didn't seem like she was going to be a problem. Prince's wife ok the other hand was just waiting for my downfall.
“Alexa? Alexa, you cannot touch shrimp." Prince yelled running over to meet me.
Pulling my sleeves up, Prince exposes my red swollen arms making King's grandmother gasp in shock. She seemed genuinely worried.
“ Are you allergic? Quick, call a doctor." She said calling one of the maids.
“ You know you're allergic so why did you volunteer to peel them? What is wrong with you? Hold on, luckily I have your injection with me. I still carry it around without knowing ” Prince said making me stunned as he rolled up my dress a little exposing my thighs.
Injecting it like a professional, Prince places his hand on my legs making me shiver.
“ I didn't want to peel them. Your wife gave them to me. I didn't have a choice.” I said innocently looking at Prince's wife.
“ I..…. I didn't know.” Prince's wife said stammering as she looked around.
“Are you okay?" Prince asked looking concerned.
Just before I could reply, King arrives inside rushing over to punch Prince across the face.
“ Are you not ashamed of yourself? She's my wife, you jerk! " King shouts trying to punch Prince again.
Rushing over to seperate them, I try my best to drag King from Prince but it does work. The security guards rush over in an instant trying to separate the both of them and finally succeed. Once King is away from Prince, King's grandmother takes action forcing both of them to kneel down side by side as if they are still children.
“ What is this about? Do you have that little faith in your wife? Then why marry her?" King's grandmother asked looking at King who feels just as embarrassed as I am.
“Is something wrong, mother? Why are they both kneeling down?" King's mother asked making me close my eyes sighing.
The witch was here. Knowing her, she was certainly going to put all the blame on King. Prince had indeed saved my life. Still it didn't change the fact that I hated him. For all the suffering I had gone through by his side in the past.
“ I knew it. I knew that this day would come. Are we going to let her stay here? Mother, I know you want all of us to live together but I don't think that's possible. The two boys won't stop fighting until this vixen is far from our family. Think about Victoria (Prince's wife) too ” King's mother said.
“ They will all learn to stay together. They each have their respective wives but they must learn to coexist with each other. No one is moving out of the house. Simple!” King's grandmother said standing up to leave immediately after she finishes talking.
“ Are you okay? I am so sorry." I said looking at King while Prince continues to stare at me.
" I can't believe this." Victoria said walking out of the room in anger while Prince follows her.
“ You little vixen.” King's mother said walking past me angrily.
