My Evil Boy Toy

Chapter 171 - 169 - Before The Storm Part 1

PEGGY POV

I was happy to know that he was in love with mom. I thought she was just a plaything to him. Maybe he lied to me when we first met because he didn't want anyone to see how a woman messed up his life. A mafia boss shouldn't fall in love, the enemies consider it a weakness.

"Dad, I'm glad I was able to talk to you. Will you stay here for good? My sisters can stay here too. The house is huge, we can all fit in here." I suggested.

He pinched my nose and smiled.

"I can't. If they find out I'm here, your lives will be in more danger.. I have to find a way to stop the Rossi's. But can you let your sisters stay here even when I'm gone?" He said in a gentle voice.

When he said the word 'gone', I suddenly felt anxious again. As if he was leaving for good and I would never see him again. I wanted him to stay but I know he would still insist on leaving to protect us.

"Okay. But can you stay for a few more days? Spend time with Caden?" I pleaded.

He nodded while smiling at me. I was thinking that Luke and the others might be able to help us so I asked him to stay a little longer.

After we chatted, he left to see Dr.Richards again. I'm not sure what they were talking about, but I'm glad they made up. Maybe they were talking about Lucia, Jayden's mother. I didn't bother to ask and let them be since they haven't talked for so many years.

I was still not feeling well but I'm happy that I was able to hear stories about mom from my father. My foster father, Benjamin, didn't really talk about her much even after we reconciled. I didn't try asking him because I felt like he was avoiding that topic.

After hearing father about mom, I think I now understand why Benjamin's pain was so deep. He was with mom for a long time but his feelings were never returned. She never loved him. I don't want to pity him but my heart hurts when I think about how he endured everything. He loved mom but she cheated on him.

Thinking about it, I felt my head throbbing again. I still couldn't get up because I felt nauseous so I just laid down on the bed. I was staring at the ceiling, sighing deeply.

"Mom, I wish you were still here. I'm pregnant with my second child. The first time was hard because I was alone. Jayden wasn't with me. But now, I'm with him and with my real father, I still feel sad. I'm always thinking about you mom. I found Kyle, my older brother. He will be king in a month. We both hope that you are with us. I love you mom even though I never met you." I always wanted to talk to her. 

I know it was impossible for me to see her again but after hearing stories about her, at least I now have a story to tell to my kids about their grandmother.

"Love?" It was Jayden who called.

He was wearing a white long sleeves but half of the buttons were open and his tie was already removed. I don't know why but he still looks sexy and hot even after a stressful day from work.

He rushed towards the bed, his face looking worried. He sat down beside me, touched my forehead with the back of his palm to check if I had a fever.

"I'm okay, love. All these feelings were due to my pregnancy. So don't worry, it's natural to feel this way." I said to lessen his worries.

"Are you also like this when you were pregnant with Caden?" He sighed.

I giggled, seeing him so worried but thrilled, amused me. He was so excited with the baby but his face was always worried.

"Not really. When I was pregnant with Caden, I just felt dizzy in the morning but I can still walk around. Now, I can't even sit on the bed. My head was throbbing and I felt nauseous since morning." 

I could see his face became more worried. I didn't tell him so he could feel that way, I just wanted him to know the difference between my two pregnancies.

I reached out my hand to touch his face. He leaned forward so I could reach it. 

"Hey. I promise I'm okay. You're here so I'm better now. I missed you." I said as he held my hand while I stared and touched him by the cheek.

He held my hand, kissing it. He took a deep breath, leaned closer to give me a quick kiss on the lips.

"I missed you, too. I love you." He whispered after kissing me.

"I talked to dad and told him to stay here. I'm sorry I didn't ask you about it first. But he declined. He said we would be in more danger if he will stay here. He asked if my sisters could stay here instead. Is it okay?"

He kissed me again before answering.

"This is your house. You can do anything here. And I know you would not allow your father to leave like that. He was trying to protect us and fight the Rossi's alone. I will have to call Luke and the others."

I swallowed my saliva, held his hand that was on my cheek and gazed at him intently.

"Love, everything will be okay, right?" I asked.

"Yes. We just have to finish this once and for all." He answered.

When Jayden said those words, fear suddenly hit me. I felt like a war between us and the Mafia would soon arise. I slowly put my hand on my belly, feeling the little angel inside me, the only one that could make my worries and uncertainties disappear.
