After the outburst from Kingston's grandmother, everyone suddenly seemed to start walking on eggshells. That just proved how powerful she was as the elder of the house. While I am standing outside looking at the sky, Prince walks over to me knowing that was the only time he was going to get
“I am so sorry for what happened. I didn't know that my wife and King was going to take it the wrong way." Prince said making me shake my head.
“ There is no need for you to apologize. In fact I should be thanking you. You're the only one that remembered that I am allergic to shrimp. But you heard your grandmother. You and Kingston should respect yourselves." I said folding my arm.
" I don't mind getting along with Kingston. But I am afraid that he might be too possessive. Does he hurt you at all?” Prince asked making me stunned.
“ Hurt me? Of course not. He is the father of my child. We are in love, why should he hurt me?” I asked glaring at Prince.
It was obvious what he wanted. He wanted to cause a rift between me and King. Even though I wasn't really happy about what he did, I knew it was because he was trying to protect me. Being jealous was the only way to prove how much we loved each other.
“ Nothing. Nothing at all. I was just worried about you. Since he has changed, I can be rest assured. Come on, you were my girlfriend before. You know what King was usually like in the past. Don't mind me.” Prince said trying to spike up my curiosity before leaving.
Of course I had heard a lot about King. Back when I was dating Prince, he was considered the black sheep of his family. He was also a playboy. All his girlfriends would often mistake Prince as King. There was even a time a huge scandal happened between him and his girlfriend. She claimed that King had beaten her up.
“Where have you been? You're the reason why I lost my temper earlier. How can you allow Prince to touch you all over your body?" King asked making me roll my eyes as I closed the door of our bedroom.
“ In case you didn't notice, I was having a severe allergy reaction. Prince was the only one that remebered that I can't touch shrimp. Never mind that. Don't let Prince get to you. It was an innocent interaction.” I said opening the blanket so I could lie down.
Just as I am about to get into bed, King grabs my hand cornering me against the wall again. His dark gaze makes my body suddenly stiffen while he stares at me. It wasn't because of fear. For some reason, I could believe that Kingston who was the father of my child could hurt me physically. He wasn't like that.
“ What do you think you are doing?" I asked staring at him.
" Did you like it?” King asked raising the hem of my dress before I can stop him.
His sudden touch instantly sparks desire in me. I didn't want to feel this way for the brother of the man that had betrayed me. Yet I couldn't help myself.
“ Don't do that. King, you-” I said unable to speak any further as King traps my two hands above my head making me groan.
“He was the twin brother of the man I hated so much. He was only a pawn to me.”
I tried my best to repeat those words in my mind so I wouldn't react to him. But immediately he kissed me, they were all forgotten.
“Lexie." King said groaning as he kissed me.
“ Wait, these wasn't in the contr-" I said using my last self restraint to push him back.
“ I don't care about any stupid contract. You're my wife." King said panting as he stared at me.
“Alexa, someone is here to see you.” Victoria said making King halt.
A few minutes later, I walk down the stairs heading to see who it was that had come to see me. King doesn't look too happy with the information that someone was here for me. Spotting him up at the railing upstairs, I roll my eyes before heading to the door.
"Auntie?" I asked gasping in shock as my mother's sister stands in front of me.
I had not even told her about my wedding.
“ So it's true. You really got pregnant and married the father of your child. Alexa, you married the twin brother of your ex!” My Aunt shouted making me jerk back.
“ Let's talk outside please. I don't -”
“ You're shameless. You don't have any dignity at all! What were you thinking? Is this revenge?" My Aunt asked making me open my mouth but I was unable to speak.
“ We got married because we loved each other. Yes, it's true that we did have a one night stand but come on, this is the 21st Century." King said surprising me as he walked to the door.
“ So you're husband. You look just like Prince. What if she married you because she couldn't get over Prince? They were dating for 10 years, you know." My Aunt said making me gasp.
Looked like she didn't come to congratulate me on my wedding. She came because she needed something. Just the same way she had always done. Whenever she needed money, she would pretend as if she cared about me and cause trouble. Money was the only thing that could silence her. Grabbing her arm harshly, I drag her out into the garden so that no one can hear us. I had completely forgotten about Kingston.
" Drop the act and tell me what you want. I already know you. You won't travel for over 15 hours just to come and check if I had gotten married. What do you want?" I asked glaring at her.
" How dare you talk to me that way? I am your Aunt. Only me. I was the only one that sent you to school and raised you." My Aunt said making me look away.
She was right. When my relatives and grandparents had refused to take me in, she was the only one. Although she had treated me nicely and cared for me genuinely, she had only one flaw.
Gambling.
“I'm sorry. I didn't mean to talk to you that way but you have to understand. I just got married, I cannot let my mother-in-law find any weakness of mine. So tell me what you want so I can give it to you and you go back. Money? How much do you need?" I asked searching my pockets to see if I could find some money to give her.
“ I need a place to stay. Let me live with you people." My Aunt said making me gasp as I throw the money I had gathered to the floor.
