An Italian's Conceited King (IRS Book 3)

Chapter 26

How did I not see that coming!

It was a bone chilling realization to me that scared me a lot. Scared not for my safety but my little boy's safety.

"Understand the situation, Val. Majesty did everything for your safety. At that time, all he could do to keep you safe was to keep you away from him and have you hate him. Only then will those predators not hunt you down." Luci explained but to me, it was not a way to protect me but it almost destroyed me.

It is so easy for them to give me excuses and explain themselves about the incident but what they did not calculate was my feeling after they had done the damage.

The consequences I had to suffer because of their choices.

They were worried for me, which is right and acceptable, but didn't they consider what would happen to me if they break the trust I had built on him?

"You know what I was more hurt about; that you chose to hurt me than giving me a chance to support you all. You saw me as a weakness, he saw me as a weakness and that is why he chose to pretend to cheat on me and hurt me rather than explaining things to me. If he wanted to keep me safe, it could be done even after telling me the truth. I could've acted to hate him and stayed away from him at least with the hope of being with him together after all the mess is cleared. But you people did not just hurt me but also destroyed that hope."

A drop of tear rolled down from my eye when my heart pricked at the ploys Pig and his crew had done.

They may think that what they had done was sacrificial and for my better life but all they did was crash down the trust I had on them.

"You and the royal pig must have been feeling proud to stage such a feat to keep me safe. How big of a heart you both have. Such wonderful loyalty and love for me. Good job. What matter the most is my body is not hurt and I'm physically well; who cares about heart and its feelings. Nonsense!" This is not my anger. No, this is the hurt I felt and was feeling just as deep speaking.

They blindly made plans and took decision on my behalf and claim that what they did was for my sake. Should I feel happy, jump and dance because they hurt my feelings to keep me safe even though they could've planned something else?

"I understand, Val. Trust me I do. I know you had been through a lot these past two years but it wasn't easy for Majesty as well. He had to gulp down him own pain to send you away. I agree he could've done better but at that time, his top priority was you." Luci took my hand in hers and held it in a pleading manner.

Glancing at her, I sighed and closed my eyes trying to control the havoc of my emotions. I have to keep them in control to win the war of keeping my son safe.

"I don't blame you, Luci. I know you cannot go against your Majesty's orders. But this time, it's my son who will be in danger if his existence is revealed so I will have to take care of everything before it gets worse."

"So you- "

"So I will do what I have to. I don't see any obligation to share my ideas and plans with your Majesty. I will do all I should alone. Since he is in this island purchase project with me, he is getting involved with a part of my scheme but other than that, he will not have any say in anything. You people can do what you want and I will do what I have to."

Just as I completed I was pulled by my arm into a familiar hard chest, locked against in with rock solid arms around my waist. My chest was flushed into his and when my eyes met his, they were roaring in anger.

Pig looked at me with anger boiling in his eyes and mine are no less. My eyes threw back the fire at him expressing my own hurt and anger to him.

How dare he get angry? How dare he!

His lips quivered; a habit of his when he is trying to swallow his anger and control his emotions. His eyes locked me and his arms held me close to him.

Shaking his head as if clearing his thoughts, he brought one hand to my face and cupped my chin. Grabbing my chin in a tight grip, he lips stretched into a smile.

A smile that is scarier than his glare. But he forgot that it doesn't work on me!

"Darling," He breathed out, his smile trembled but did not go away. He is trying to be as calm as he can. "Do what you want to. I will protect you from behind but –"

He pulled my face close to his, his eyes held volcano of anger but his lips held a smile that contradicted his eyes. This is what his people are most scared of.

His smile when angered!

It is the most dangerous and creepy thing one could ever experience.

"But what do you mean by preparing a wedding with Demetri Regio? You are going to get engaged to him while I'm trying to woo you back to me?" He cocked his head to the side as he gave me a devious filled with jealousy kind of smile.

"Bad, Valentina; very bad. You can hit me, kill me but you can only have me in your life." When I say that at that moment a spark of old feeling swished inside me, I wished they didn't.

God! His anger is nothing scary but his jealousy though!

His jealousy is something I would never want to deal with!

Hello Sweeties,

Next chapter is here. Enjoy!

What do you think about the chapter? Good?

Are you guys alright with Val's realization and conclusion of the situation without needing solid proofs?

I mean, Val understood that whatever Arse had done to her was just an act. She realized that without any proof or a statement from a third person just because she can figure it out well with her own thoughts.

Do you guys think it is alright?

What do you think about Val's point about handling things in a different way than hurting her?

Is she right in her stand?

What the hell is going on with the wedding with Demetri?

Why would Val want to marry Demetri?
