Chapter 20: Letters and Threats
She was shocked by Caden’s revelation. She didn’t expect him to be the head of the Forelli Clan. From what she remembered, he hated the Mafia Clan. What made him decide to join them, and worst, became the boss? She thought inwardly.
She stood up after treating the cut on his hands and took a towel and a robe. They moved to the bed and sat down to talk.
Matthew Forelli—the biological father of Margaret Hulls, Caden’s mother. From what she heard, the guy was left with Princess Catherine, Caden’s grandmother, and ran away with Benjamin Miller.
Margaret thought that her father was Benjamin Miller and that her mother died when she was born. She never knew Matthew Forelli, until Benjamin himself told her.
She went to Flousia to find out about her family and met him there for the first time. To make things complicated, Caden’s father, Jayden Richards had a grudge against the Mafia Clan. His mother was murdered by none other than Matthew Forelli. That’s what they thought. In the end, everything was just a game orchestrated by Benjamin Miller and they were the pawns and pieces of his game.
She waited for Caden to continue. She knew he was still hesitating, but then he took a deep breath and stared at her.
"Do you remember when we were kids? I promised that I will protect not only you, but also my family?" He asked.
She nodded. "Yes."
"I kept on telling you and Lucas that I will make the bad guys disappear. We accidentally found out about the things that happened to our parents, about my so-called grandfather, Benjamin Miller or Jonathan Trekker, or whoever he is. So I was mad and said the same thing all over. I remember you scolding me and Lucas would laugh about it. But in my heart, I really want them gone." He paused.
She was just listening to Caden and looking into his eyes. It was full of hatred and sadness at the same time.
