Emilio POV
After I locked her bedroom door, I rested my head against the door hearing her sobes, I don’t know why seeing her upset breaks my heart lately, maybe because of the mark, I can now sense her emotions.
I sight and head to Charlotte’s room to check on her and my pup.
I found her curled up in bed , her food untouched.
” Charlotte ”
“What do you want? ” She said with closed eyes.
” Why didn’t you eat your pregnant, it’s not good for the baby ”
” I want to go home. ”
” That’s not an option right now.” She jumped off the bed and faced me .
“Why, why, I don’t want to be here , I want to be with my mate ” she hits my chest.
I felt a bang in my heart. Her words hurt my feelings.
” And I want my child to be with me ”
“He’s not your child , don’t you get it ”
“Stop lying, werewolves can smell their pups, and he’s definitely mine ”
Her face turned into a seductive grin. She ran her fingers along my chest, rubbing circles around my nipples through the fabric of my shirt. I don’t know why her touch felt repulsive.
This is the first time that I didn’t like her touching me. Something is definitely wrong with me.
“Emilio, babe, I know that you love me, and you will hurt me; you’re just angry and jealous. Why don’t you release me? And I promise that I will fix everything.”
I stepped away from her, keeping a distance between us.
The only option for you is to confess everything to Ayann, telling her everything, and the most important thing is that the baby is mine, or I will tell him myself.
“Are you crazy? Do you think my parents will spare your life after kidnapping me? I’m their daughter, after all.
“Do you think that they like the fact that their daughter is acting like a whore? I don’t think so.”
” fuck you ” she yelled.
“I will let you think about it and eat your food; our pup has nothing to do with our differences “.
Then I left the room, leaving her frustrated and fuming with anger.
Xander POV
It’s been days since the kidnapping of our baby girl. Gina is devastated and angry at Ayann for neglecting our daughter’s safety; she never eats or speaks to anyone.
I’m also devastated about Charlotte’s kidnapping, but I’m holding myself for Gina.
I could think of a person who could hurt Charlotte. She’s a sweet girl, and she can be a little difficult sometimes. She’s headstrong like me, but she’s a socially active girl who likes having fun. She’s friendly with everyone. She has no enemies.
I have a lot of enemies; the same is true for her mate regarding our status.
Maybe someone did this for revenge or money.
I heard a knock on my office door.
” yess”
James, my beta, walked in.
“His Highness, Prince Ayann, is here to see you.”
“Let him in.”
He bowed his head and left.
Within seconds , Ayann enter my office.
“Good morning, Uncle Xander,” he greets me.
He looks like sh*t. He has dark circles around his eyes, and his hair and beard need trimming.
“Sit down, Ayann; anything new about Charlotte?”
He takes a deep breath and nods.
“What I’m going to tell you is shocking news, but it will lead us to the Charlotte location.”
“The last person Charlotte meets on the day she gets kidnapped is her sister, Giana. I tracked her phone calls, and here are the recordings.”
He turns his phone on, and my twin daughters’ voice blasts in the room.
“Charlotte, how are you?”
“What do you want?”
“Like always rude; however, let’s meet. I have something important to tell you.”
“I’m not interested, bye.”
“Wait, it’s about Emilio; he’s doing something against you and Ayann.”
“Are you sure? I swear, if you are wasting my time, you wouldn’t like the consequences.”
“Yeah, why would I be lying to you? You are my twin; after all, I care about you, even though we don’t get along sometimes.
“Where and when should we meet?
“Meet me in New York at 4 p. m.”
“Okay, I will meet you there.”
“Don’t bring anyone with you; I want to chat with you privately.”
“Okay,”
Em-ilio, I sutured Emilio Linda’s son!! What did he have to do with Charlotte’s kidnapping?
And Gianna… ? Did she have something to do with this?
What’s going on?
“Charlotte, she’s been cheating on me with Emilio for a long time.”
I grabbed his collar.
“How dare you accuse my angel of being unfair to you?”
“Uncle Xander, calm down. I have proof.”
I let go of him.
He hands me a folder.
“This is an explicit picture of Emilio and Charlotte.”
My eyes widened in alarm, and I gawked at him in disbelief.
I snatched the pictures from him. My hands trembled uncontrollably, fingers twitching with nervous energy. The unexpected revelation had sent shock waves through my entire being.
I felt a shiver run down his spine, a tingling sensation that spread like wildfire and my heart skipped a beat, a palpable pause that reverberated through my chest.
I stared at the pictures with horror, my mouth gaping, uncertain whether to breathe or scream.
My jaw dropped, my eyes widening in disbelief, as if a sudden jolt of electricity had coursed through my veins, leaving me momentarily stunned.
My hand flew to my mouth, muffling an involuntary gasp. Surprise stole the air from his lungs, leaving me breathless.
I stumbled back, losing my footing for a brief moment, my body rocked by the sheer force of the unexpected revelation.
I blinked rapidly, trying to process the unbelievable sight before me , my mind struggling to reconcile reality with the shock.
I stood for a couple of minutes, unblinking, trying to process what I just saw, and then I slammed my eyes shut as if that would protect them.
My body froze, muscles locked in a momentary paralysis, my eyes wide with astonishment, surprise momentarily rendering me immobile.
My voice caught in his throat, words halted in mid-sentence.
I clutched my chest, feeling my heart race, each beat a thunderous echo of the surprise gripping me .
“I can’t believe this. How could she do that?”
I stumbled over my words, my tongue tripping over the rush of thoughts clamoring for attention.
