Chapter 62 - 62 - Back To Flousia
PEGGY POV
I heard footsteps rushing towards our room then Kyle rushed inside. His face was dark. I knew he was already mad last time when Jayden told him about what he did to me but he forgave him. Then this happened.
Kyle walked towards Jayden and grabbed him on his collar. I was alarmed. I have never seen Kyle so mad like that.
"You asshole!" He shouted. "If you continue to hurt her and my nephew, I wouldn't give them to you.
"Kyle please stop." I said. I need to stop them before someone gets hurt.
"Shut up Margaret!" Kyle yelled. I was surprised. I didn't expect him to yell at me.
"I don't care if she messed up before but she didn't deserve this. You know the reason why she left. It's because of you! How far would you go on hurting her? On hurting your own son? I won't allow that. Until you figure out what you want, I will take them back to Flousia with us tomorrow." Kyle suddenly said.
Jayden's face became anxious. He became tense.
"K-Kyle don't take. I'll fix this. Nothing happened with me and Amanda. I'll prove it to Peggy and everyone." He stuttered.
I could see the restlessness and sadness into his eyes. My heart wanted to rush to him and accept him in my arms. I know he's sincere but I was hurt. My son was hurt. I don't know how I would explain it to Caden anymore.
"My decision is final. If you could prove it, you are welcome to come to Flousia anytime. Peggy, pack your things and Caden's. And don't argue with me. You have already given grandpa so much pain when you left, for once, choose us over this jerk." He said, using his crown prince's voice before leaving us in the room.
Caden ran outside to follow Kyle. I know he was hurt so bad and doesn't want to see Jayden.
Jayden rushed towards me.
"Peggy, please don't leave me. I know I screwed up but can you forgive me this time? This won't happen again. I'll replace Amanda, I'll do everything you ask so please don't leave." He begged.
It was killing me to see him beg like this but I would be so selfish if I chose him over Caden.
"Jayden it's not up to me. You know I could easily forgive you. I love you with all my heart, I have never loved another man for the past three years. But please understand, Caden was hurt. I don't think I'm the right person for you to ask. I would do everything for you but Caden is my priority. I'm a mother now, I'm not just a woman in love." I said in a gentle voice.
"Will you wait for me? I promise I will come to you once I have the proof." He asked while holding me on both shoulders. I wanted to wrap my arms around him but I'm trying to control myself.
"We will. Always." I simply answered.

JAYDEN POV
I went to a bar to think. I couldn't stay at Queen's while Peggy and Caden were packing. After three years of looking for them, I finally found them a week ago. But now, they were leaving me again.
I chose a private room so no one could disturb me. I heard a few knocks and I thought it was just one of the bartenders but to my surprise, it was Luke, Percy and Andrew.
They sat on the couch and ordered some drinks. I was waiting for them to tell me how I messed up big time so I didn't say a word.
"You know you messed up right?" Percy started.
"I know. But I really couldn't believe I did that. You know me. I would never bring a woman home." I said softly.
"Just let them be for now. At least you know where they are and they're safe. We all messed up on the way, we're not perfect. I screwed up multiple times and hurt Alora a dozen times but what's important is you learn from those mistakes." Luke said while giving me a smile.
"So what do you think happened?" Andrew asked. "What did you remember that night?"
I took a deep breath and thought of the events that night.
"We had a meeting with the Chan's and they asked for me to have a few drinks with them. I couldn't say no so I agreed. I never left the table."
"How about Amanda?" Luke asked.
I frowned. " She did. She went out and served the last drink."
"I think you've been drugged." Percy suddenly blurted.
I didn't reply. I was already thinking about that possibility. I just can't believe that Amanda could do that to me. Is she that desperate to get me? Somehow, it's my fault. I should have set a boundary or limits for her. But I trusted her so much that I didn't realize what she's capable of.
"Did Peggy agree to go with Kyle in Flousia?" Luke asked.
I deeply sighed and looked at him.
"She said it's not up to her. Caden was hurt and he told Peggy he doesn't want to see me anymore. I understand what she feels. I'm not her number one anymore, our son is her priority now. I admire her for that."
"You should investigate what really happened to you last night. I agree with Peggy. If you want to fix your relationship with her and your son, you have to get rid of Amanda. You could transfer her to another department." Luke suggested.
"Is it okay with you?" I asked.
"I trust you will do the right thing and what is necessary. Besides, misconduct and a violent act against any employee cannot be tolerated. It's one of our policies. And you're not just a mere employee. You are the CEO. You just need to have proof." He answered.
"Thanks Luke." I murmured.
"By the way, do you still have plans to marry Peggy?" Percy suddenly asked.
