Chapter 175 - 171 - Preparation
After two rings, it was Emily who answered.
I was so happy to hear her voice and she sounded okay. I know the girls were also glad to hear her, too.
Among the five of us, only Emily lived in a different country. It was a big decision for her since it was a foreign country. She was half Russian, half Japanese. It was a great sacrifice to leave her family, friends and the place she grew up with. Everything was new to her.
Now, in a month she will take the throne as the queen of Flousia. I know she will be a great queen and Flousia is so lucky to have her.
"Emily, is Kyle there?" Jayden asked..
Emily didn't answer but I know she gave the phone to Kyle.
"You do know you're a nuisance." It was Kyle's voice.
I don't why I suddenly felt excited when I heard his voice. I wanted to talk to him and tell him about what happened for the past months. I suddenly felt that I missed him and I wanted my older brother beside me.
Jayden was looking at me. I didn't realize that I was pouting and tears suddenly fell from my eyes. I was crying silently. The girls were surprised but they understood.
"Is there something wrong with Margaret?" Kyle asked when he didn't hear a word from the other line.
Jayden took a deep breath, stood up and walked towards the bed. Nina moved to the other side of the bed so Jayden could sit beside me.
"She's pregnant and a lot of things happened with his father. She's bedridden for now. The baby's heartbeat is low so the doctor advised for a full rest. She cried when she heard your voice. She missed you." Jayden explained.
"Can I talk to her?" I heard him ask Jayden.
My face lit up and took the phone from Jayden. He chuckled when he saw me excited.
"Brother!" I said in an ecstatic voice.
"Hey." That's the first thing he told me.
I pouted and started sobbing. I don't know why I missed him. We didn't grow up together but he really became an elder brother when we found out that we're siblings.
"I heard you're pregnant. Congratulations! Emily is in fourth month now. How about you?" He asked
"Six weeks." I simply answered.
Kyle advised to follow the doctor at all times. He said I can call him anytime if I want to. He was reassuring me that everything on their side was okay.
"I know you called me for another reason. What is it?" He asked afted we talk.
I glanced at Jayden before answering Kyle.
"Jayden will tell you." I said, then handed the phone to Jayden.
"Kyle, line 4." Jayden said.
I'm not sure what it was, maybe some kind of code for them. I saw Jayden pressed something on the phone, I think Kyle did the same. Then Jayden turned on the speaker so we can hear the conversation.
"Matthew Forelli is here in our house. Peggy and him already made up. He told us the truth about my mother's death, why he kidnapped Peggy and why he followed us here. The Rossi's are the real enemy. They wanted to be the most powerful clan in the underworld. When theh found out that Peggy was Matthew's daughter, they wanted her to be Alejandro Rossi's wife. To do that, they will attack the palace. They already planted a lot of spies and allies inside so you have to be careful." Jayden explained.
"They won't get Peggy if they attack us here. She's not here." Kyle said, confused.
"Matthew said that the Rossi's will use you and Emily to threaten Peggy. If she agree to the marriage, they might still kill you to get the throne. They want the throne to have more power." Jayden continued.
I heard Kyle sighed deeply. I couldn't figure out Emily's reaction though.
"So what's our plan?" He asked.
Luke took over and told us what's in his mind. Then Andrew and Percy also gave suggestions as well as Kyle and Jayden.
If you listen to them, you will be amazed. They were really serious, bright and smart in every way. All five of them were good looking and rich, they're perfect.
Me and the girls just listened to them. We would only be a burden to them if we join on their plan, especially me and Emily. We're both pregnant so we are their priority for safety. I hate to be the damsel in distress and I know Emily's the same, but the child in my womb and in hers were more important than anything else.
Our plan is to go back to Flousia in two weeks. We're not really sure if I could travel on the day that we agreed to so I need to stay in bed and rest before we leave.
We would have to talk to father as well because he would have a big part for this plan to be a success. Jayden and I would have to convince him first to work together with us so we could defeat the Rossi's.
I also need to ask father to meet Benjamin Miller, the other father who gave me all the things I needed. I believe an apology is necessary so our family can move on from the past.
I realized now that Benjamin wasn't a bad father, Matthew wasn't either. They both loved the same woman. They loved my mother despite everything that she had done. She hurt both of them but their feelings for her were real and unconditional.
I'm hopeful that they could both forgive each other after they talk, so we could go to Flousia in peace.
Somehow, I felt a mixture of fear and excitement. I'm afraid that something bad might happen on Kyle's coronation day. At the same time, I'm excited because my brother will finally take the throne and become the king. I was also thinking that it might be the day that everything will end and that we could finally live in peace.
