Taming A Billionaire

Chapter 259 - Two Hundred And Fifty-nine: The Lovers Reunite

The third point of view

"What is this I hear about you chasing after a married woman?" The queen was furious. Her eyes were bloodshot, hands trembling on the armrest of her throne while glaring at her stubborn son.

"How did you find out about her?" Was Kai's question

"How I found out doesn't matter, what matters is that you'd be leaving that poor woman alone!" She declared.

"Didn't you want me to get married and produce an heir as soon as possible? Then here she is; I've been waiting for here all these while," said Prince Kai standing in front of the queen.

"Christ, Kai!" She blanched from shock, "That I want you to get married desperately doesn't mean that I'll let you destroy another's marriage, not to mention that her husband is a potential president, I would not let you cause me such hostility in the long run -"

"Or what?" he challenged.

The queen was taken aback by his blunt challenge of her authority yet didn't show it. She continued her calm demeanor, " It's either you let her go or I'll help you let her go,"

"I'm not going to let her go, do your worst," He made his point known. What could she do? Take his title from him? That was impossible, he was the only rightful heir to the throne.

The queen, seeing that coercion wasn't going to work, decided to reach to him on an emotional level.

"Kai," She called out to him, "You're my son and I would never do anything to harm you. But then, you're hurting this woman. I get that you both had a history together in the past but the past is past, she's married and even has a child for him. Do you ever consider how the consequences of your actions might affect the child? "

"She's drowning in that marriage, I need to save her," He simply replied.

"Did she tell you she wants to be saved? And what makes you think that you're the savior? Have you considered if she'd sacrifice her marriage to be with you?" She barraged him with questions.

Kai smiled wryly, "I guess there's one way to find out,"

"What?" the queen's brow drew together in confusion.

Kai turned around," I'm going to tell her the truth,"

"Kai, stop right there!"

He continued with his journey without looking back.

"Stop there this instant, it's the queen's command!" She used her authority which produced a result this time.

Kai stopped, turned once around to her saying, "My command overrules yours, queen dowager," and left while the queen almost fainted from disbelief, her handmaids rushed to rescue her.

Kai didn't waste further time, racing to the hospital like a madman. It seems the queen wasn't all that heartless because he saw the guards secretly tailing him to ensure his safety.

It wasn't hard to find the hospital room since he ordered them to be assigned to one of the VVIP rooms.

He knocked on the door which was opened by another woman who Kai recognized to be Cecil.

"Christ!" Cecil almost jumped out of her skin upon seeing Kai which reminded him that he was still in his mask.

"Sorry about that. I'm prince Kai and I need to see Emily, is she here?" his searching gaze darted across the spacious hospital room.

"Y-you're the p-p-prince?" Cecil stuttered. So Emily had not been joking earlier when she mentioned the prince's odd interest in her. Oh boy, this was going to be a problem. But then, what's with the mask?

"She's supposed to be here," he muttered, peering over her shoulder and taking note of the empty bed.

"She's not…" Cecil was planning to lie when the man let himself in.

"Well... " She had no choice but to close the door. This was the prince of Lincolnshire who showed them hospitality when they first arrived, it would be rude to chase him off. Would her head be cut off for chasing him off?

Cecil scratched the back of her head, there was no need to question this man's motive. Just a look in his eyes and one could tell he was taken with Emily. Was that why they had a smooth journey here? She couldn't help but feel that coming here was somewhat orchestrated. But then, this was the first time the both of them met, what brought on this attraction? Had he and Emily known somewhere? Whatever it was, this wasn't good for Emily. That girl needed peace for once in her life.

"Where is…? "

Judy was interrupted by the sound of a door opening only to realize it was Emily coming out of the restroom with the boy in her arms.

"P-prince Kai," Emily was startled. She never expected to see him here nor so soon.

However, Kai focused his attention on the boy when the towel draped over his head fell off.

"He has blonde hair?" he blurted out.

Emily's eyes widened, hastily picking up the towel from the ground to cover Akim's hair.

After the doctor diagnosed her son with Leukemia, she hurried to wash off the dye to not complicate matters. She was not experienced in the medical field but she knew those things contained chemicals nor could she tell how it would affect her son now he was sick. Her only thought was to give him the maximum comfort.

"Mum, who is he?" Akim asked, eyes taking in that strange man in a mask.

"Urm, he's a very important person, Akim. He's the prince of this kingdom," she answered, going over to lay him on his body - the doctor told her exhaustion would be one of the symptoms he would experience henceforth.

"Wow, must be cool to be a prince," He chuckled.

"Yeah, must be cool," Emily agreed, tucking him in bed and wondering why that prince was staring intensely at her son.

"You're Akim," said Kai, walking over to the boy's bed. For some strange reasons, the more he stared at the boy, the more resemblance they both shared.

"Yes," Akim nodded with admiration in his eyes.

"He needs to rest," Emily's voice was taut, Kai noticed. Why was she so sensitive about her son and why had she been dyeing his hair black when it was blonde all this moment.

Something clicked in Kai's head abruptly, Ahmed wasn't blonde neither was Emily, the only blonde person she dated was… him? No way.

"The boy needs to have a rest," Emily's forehead wrinkled from worry. Prince Kai was staring at her son intensely, did he find something out? Sure, he must have looked into her background since he has the intention of doing business with her.

That statement must have woke him from his thought because when his eyes found hers, the truth was there. She understood that enlightened orbs.

"Let's go outside. Cecil, help take care of Akim for me, I'll be back briefly," She at once grabbed his hand, beginning to lead him out of the room. She dragged him to the hospital garden, with thankfully few people around.

"What do you want from me?" Emily asked him sternly. He was strangely interested in her and Akim and didn't like it one bit.

"That's not Ahmed's son, is he?" Kai asked, eyes boring into hers.

"What rubbish are you talking about and why are you unhealthily nosy about?my family?" She hid her nervousness.

"Answer my damn question, Emily!" He boomed at her, she almost jumped.

"It's none of your business! Why are you so interested in another person's family?! " She yelled back.

"Because I'm Judy!" He pulled off the mask at the same time as his words were uttered.

Emily's eyes grew wide, her jaw dropped, nor did she move; her feet were stuck to the ground. For a minute, no one said a word, just staring at each other. How was this possible?

"G-ghost," She choked and fainted.

"Emily!" Kai caught her before she could touch the ground. Seriously, this was the reason he wanted to take everything slowly but then, fate always seems to have a plan of its own.

When Emily woke up, she found herself on a hospital bed. What the hell? She had the strangest dream where she saw…

"Judy?" she sat up abruptly, discerning a figure sitting on the edge of her bed.

"Emily," He responded.

Oh my God, it wasn't a dream.

The sleep in her eyes cleared at once, giving her a clear view of his face. It was him.

Tears clouded her vision as she moved to clasp his face with both hands, "It's really you," her words were a whisper while tracing his features.

"Oh my God, you're alive," Her hands shook before she lowered her head and kissed him hard on the lips; pouring all her relief, anger, and words she could not say into that kiss.

Judy kissed her back, his arms wrapped securely around her waist, afraid to let go and realize this moment was not real. Fate has given him another chance and he would take advantage of it - and pay back his oppressors in their own coin.
