                         I slithered my hand in my hair exasperatedly. The situation was going out of my control. All thanks to my brother. I muttered curses under my breath. I saw Sienna out of the door through the mirror. I didn't know how much she had heard. She didn't look happy. 

      "I haven't told him. Will he accept us? I'm so scared, Edward." Elisa asked, seated across from me in my office. 

      My wife thought... She's my girlfriend. Well! It was hard to control my smile when she said that with hatred and anger on her beautiful face. I couldn't neglect the pain in her eyes. She didn't want to accept her feelings. I was obstinate to surface her feelings. 

      I glanced at the message I sent thirty minutes ago. He should be home now, I stared out at the vast grassland. Only one name was echoing in my mind, Sienna. But this was important. James needed to accept what he did. His doing shattered my plan

I wanted to lead a simple life with my wife. Now after this, when Elisa was pregnant with his child. It was impossible for me. I was the king now. That was the only way to persuade my father. My wife wasn't bothered about it. Her language was the first sign. My lips curled up in a smile recalling her when she saw Elisa first. 

      "It's his... he can't run away from what he has done," I assured her. 

      But my words seemed effective and ineffective at the same time, because of her tears. 

      "I'm so scared." She repeated it, "He would be furious for not telling him first." Elisa said, still talking. 

      Dad wouldn't deny this wedding as she was born a princess and fit in my mother's dream too. I chose Sienna but I never thought I would fall in love with her. I liked her the moment I saw her in her wedding dress. 

      I spun to face her. She needed to stop crying or she was going to affect her child and her health. I was waiting for that day when I saw my lady love with our baby. 

      "You've got my words, Elisa. You're going to be the wife of your child's father." I said. She was right for him. She didn't go out in public to announce her pregnancy. 

      She glanced at me with tears in her eyes. She agreed with a nod and she returned her attention to her hands in her lap. 

      I needed to sort out this shit storm and told my wife everything. Her eyes were telling me she wasn't convinced by my words. Elisa was our childhood friend, more like my sister I couldn't have. 

      I heard footsteps and I didn't need to know who came into the room. I turned to him, my anger flared. How dared him do this to Elisa and never looked back. 

      I strode forward. My hands were clenched at my side. My fist cut through the air and connected with his jaw, "How dare you?" I said through the cage of my teeth. 

     The side of his lips split, dripping blood. He touched the cut with the tip of his thumb and stared at me, "What the f*** that was for?" He glared at Elisa who was on her feet at his sight. Her hand was over her lips in awe. She mustn't have expected this.

      "Tell him," I whirled away from him. I was going to hit him again. That wouldn't be a good sight. 

      After a long pause, "I'm pregnant," I heard her weak voice. 

     "Fucking lie!" James yelled. 

     I faced him in aggression. I would beat the hell out of him, "Why would she?" I asked him sternly. 

      He closed his eyes and ran his hands through his hair, "Can you..." My glare cut him off. 

      "You're getting married to her," I told him. 

      "Dad won't approve of it." He said, slamming down on the couch. 

      I let out a long sigh. He wasn't denying marrying her. My phone rang on the desk. I peered at the display. Marcus! The mafia king! Apparently, my wife didn't know anything about him. It was up to her friend to tell her. 

      "Take her to your room. She needs rest." I grabbed my phone and turned to my brother, silencing my phone, "Be a gentleman." I warned him. 

      I answered the phone and hoisted it up to my ears, "Mark," I didn't wait for them to leave the office. I strutted out. They needed to talk. 

      "What happened to Sienna?" My feet halted in the hallway. 

      I glanced back at the office, "What do you mean?"

      "She called Eri. She was crying and talking about going somewhere."

      A strange kind of feeling waved inside me, "I'll call you later," 

     "Let me know. If you need any help." I heard him. 

     "Sure," I wasn't sure he heard me. 

     Hanging on, I slid it into my pocket and hurried toward our room. I pushed open the door. I stormed inside. I checked the washroom, closet, and bedroom. 

      My expression turned stern when I couldn't see her, "Sienna, hon." I said out loud. I checked the washroom again. The room was empty, "Kelvin!" I called the head of security. My heart began to thud in my ribcage. She couldn't go. 

     I took out my phone and clicked on her number. I placed it against my ear. My grip tightened when I found it unreachable. 

      "Boss," Kelvin stopped in front of me. 

      "Where's my wife?" I demanded. 

      He took out his phone and stared at the display after some clicks. 

      I was losing my patience. Did she behold me with her and thought something she shouldn't? What did she hear? Shouldn't she talk to me? 

      "Ma'am is heading out of London." He said. 

      "Are the guards with her?" I would sue them. If I got her alone there.

     "Yes, Sir." He bowed his head. 

     "I would have their heads if they couldn't do their job properly." I strode out, taking out my car key.  

     "Got it, sir." He nodded his head again. 

     "Send me her location." I ordained him.
