Chapter 165 - 163 - The Real Enemy



"Matthew, can you tell us what really happened? Why were you in our house that day?" Jayden's father asked.

We were surprised, we thought we knew everything already. Jayden frowned and was looking at his father with a confused face.

"Chris, I don't want to talk about it." Father answered.

Jayden was starting to get impatient because it's that our fathers were hiding something from us.

"Can you stop lying to us? It's been what? Fifteen years? And I still couldn't understand why you had to kill my mother. You said she was like your little sister but why did you have to do it? I'm begging you. Tell me!" Jayden yelled.

I held onto his hand tighter to calm him down.. I could feel his hands were shaking and he was trying to control himself.

"Dad?" I called, looking at him with pleading eyes.

He stared at me and sighed deeply.

"Two days before the murder, I asked one of my men to give a letter to you and Lucia, informing you that my father already knew where you lived." He started, looking at Jayden's father then to us.

"Ever since you left Flousia, I've been tracking you. I bribed a lot of people so you could get away from the country. I knew you and Lucia won't agree with my offer so I already knew that you would run away. I wanted to come with you but I couldn't. All I could do was to make sure that you two could leave the country without problems." He paused.

He stood up and walked by the window. He was trying to hide his pain from us.

"My father couldn't accept that a Castello can run away from the Forelli. I tried my best to convince him to just let you and Lucia go but he didn't listen. Then the day that I always feared came, he found you so I sent that letter to warn you. But the man I trusted to bring you the letter was killed by one of my father's men. Before he died, he told me that father sent some men to kill both of you. I was scared so I rushed there to protect you but I was too late. When I arrived, Lucia was already dead and your son was on the floor unconscious."

His voice started to tremble and when he turned to look at us, tears were falling from his eyes.

"I cried when she died. Her death has always been a nightmare to me. I kept seeing her face and lifeless body in my dreams every night. I found the video of how she was murdered and the reason I kept it with me was to remind me how I failed the only woman who treated me like a human. It was painful and heartbreaking. I killed those men who raped and murdered her with my bare hands, crushed their skulls, butchered them and fed them to my dogs. They deserved it. Lucia doesn't deserve to die. She was supposed to live long happily with you and your son. I'm sorry, Chris. I failed you. I failed to protect, Lucia." Father continued while crying.

I stood up, rushed towards him to comfort him. I could feel the pain in his heart while he sobbed in my arms. Jayden's mom was the woman who he promised to protect but he failed. After her murder, he became the most fearsome Mafia Boss. His heart became darker even after Lucia's death.

"Matthew, it wasn't your fault. It was mine. I was too careless. I thought we were already safe and away from the Forelli Clan. All your efforts have been wasted because of me." Dr.Richards said.

"The letter you sent to mom. She received that letter." Jayden blurted.

I frowned. Father and Dr.Richards glanced at each other then looked at Jayden, waiting for him to continue.

"The day before mom was murdered, I saw her talking to a man. He handed a white envelope to her. I asked mom who it was and she said it was the father of dad's patient. That night, she told father that he needed to go to the nearby village because someone asked a psychiatrist there. Now that I think about it, that guy doesn't look like someone from around here."

We became silent after Jayden's words. It looks like his mom received the warning from dad but she didn't tell her husband about it. Maybe she was thinking that it would never end if they keep on running away. She knew her life would be in danger but she still chose to stay. Maybe she was tired of hiding from the Mafia and she wanted to give up her life so her husband and son could have a peaceful life.

"Dad, you said that we are in danger? From whom exactly?" I asked.

"From the Rossi's. They have gained a lot of allies after I left Flousia. I took you so I could hide you from them but then you suddenly mentioned your son. I couldn't take you and then leave your son. If I don't give one of my daughters, the Rossi's will attack our clan so they could take over the underworld. But I don't think they will accept Victoria or Veronica. They will come for you, Margaret. You are the daughter of Catherine. They plan on attacking the palace, kill the future king and queen then Alejandro will force you to marry him. Maybe by threatening you with the lives of your family. Then they will take Flousia and he will be the king." Dad explained.

The first thing I thought was Caden and the child in my womb. I suddenly felt anxious. We thought that father was the enemy but he was trying to protect us from the real enemy ever since.

I felt a sudden exhaustion from everything that I heard. My vision became blurry and my knees weakened. I saw Jayden rushed towards me looking so worried.

"Love!" He shouted.

That was the last word I heard before losing my consciousness.
