Arsenio Point of View

"You have to stop her. Only you can do that." I said, pacing around with bubbling anger.

"You always chose to hit some sense into me so this time, push some into her." I literally exhaled fire when I did not receive the needed answer.

"Let's be clear about this, I love her and chose to keep her safe in a cruel way but still I had my backup in keeping her away from other men. Now, suddenly she wants to marry that parrot nose little weasel? Why the hell?"

To hell with the ego of a king, I just want to nag about the annoyance that she devil gave me.

I walked to the chair he is sitting in and held the chair on either side as I leaned into him. He has his back against the chair and has his one leg on other with a smug smile adorned on his face. His eyes crinkled in amusement when his eyes landed on my troubled self.

Little spawn of a devil!

"Hijo, you have to stop your mamma from this madness. You shouldn't like to have a stepdad. Tell your mamma that you only want me as your papa." I told – coaxed my son but that little sparrow only gave me a once over look and disregarded everything I said with a scoff an year and half old could muster up.

He scoffed?

He scoffed at me?

How the hell did I meet my match in the form of my own son?

"Desthondido" There he goes again, calling me a stranger.

"Papa, call me papa, hijo."

"Dethonodidooooo" Little devil dragged pretty much teasing me openly.

"Son, hijo, are you this way because of a manufacturing defect or did your mamma train you into the way you are?" I asked genuinely wondered by my own son's behavior towards me.

It is like I met myself.

"Perm perm thperm." No! No no no!

Don't tell me he was trying to say sperm!

This can't be real. This can't be. He can't be telling me that!

Looking at my smug looking carefree son, I suddenly started feeling bad for the girl who will catch his eyes decades later. I can bet on all my wealth that he would literally play with her around.

I sighed in disappointment when my own son is not ready to help me in wooing back his mother. Hell, I wasn't even successful in bribing him with something.

I bribed him with chocolates, toys, my throne, but nothing worked on him. I even promised him to give a brother or a sister if he helps me but seeing how clever he is, he must've thought he can get a sibling from parrot nose Regio too.

When on one hand I'm dealing with the problem Val stood up for me in the form of her impending wedding, on other hand the notice from the WNO has reached the board members right on time.

Just like discussed before, I and Val made visible attempts in convincing the organization about the purchase of islands and attempted to use money with the dealing as well.

A day ago we had a conference call with the other board members regarding the current situation and I was able to successfully plant the seed of doubt in their minds about the information leak.

While I made certain they doubt each other, Val sent them all the reports and documents that were used and acquired in an attempt to convince the nature organization.

After the call, we were quite sure that we had their temporary trust on us seeing how hard we are trying to get the islands.

If I were right about it, then the mastermind will soon pressure the board members to find out the spy and deal with the purchase as soon as possible.

Right now, I will have to make these restrictions from the organization so strong that it will be very hard to approach them regarding this issue along with giving tips to the organization about the company's previous purchases.

"You better not make a strong connection with my son or else you will be disappointed when his future papa cajoles him." Val walked towards me and my son and pushed me aside by her rock shoulder and took Agustin into her arms.

Papa? Who? Regio?

"Shut up." Gritting at her I realization that just a mere thought of Val in the arms of another man and hijo calling some other man papa is too heartbreaking for me.

Should I get Regio to a quite place and bury him?

"Are you really getting married to Regio?"

"Do you think we are close enough to joke about it?"

"But you don't love him."

"I don't have to. He loves me enough for both of us." Damn she is getting stronger in arguments.

"How will you live with a man you don't love?"

"I had good experience with the man who pretended to love me. I'm experienced." That got me.

I was beyond angry when she said that. I know she was deeply hurt and I understand her but how the hell can she say that I don't love her?

"I love you." I confessed with exasperation.

"Great. I hope you can deal with it alone." This woman is such a headstrong devil. How am I going to coax her!

Putting our son on the floor, the boy raced out of the room, cleverly, seeing that his parents need space to talk.

Boy, he is too smart for his age.

"You love me too." I argued back but she did not flinch at the statement. All she did was shrug and wave it off with even more cruel statement.

"Then I will take care of it alone. You don't have to worry about it." Hearing those words, I pushed her against the wall in rage and pressed her with my body.

My lips touched hers and I kissed her like there is no tomorrow. My mouth engulfed hers in a furious adventure. It was passionate rough kiss putting all my anger and disbelief in.

It was my way to tell her how furious I am hearing those detached words from her. A kiss, telling her that she can only have me in her life as a spouse.

I am her past, present and only future.

I am the only ray of light she needs.

"You, Hottie, are a devil." I breathed out on her lips, looking dead serious into her eyes.

"I'll take that as a compliment. Thanks to you, I've become a capable devil." That style of retort!

She really knows how to answer back.

Pecking her lips few more times, I pressed her body against mine tightly and twirled her hair near her ear around my fingers.

"I know you wished I dealt with the problem in a better way two years ago. It was a difficult situation for me as well, love. The first thing I wanted at that moment was to keep you safe."

"Ah, thanks to you for keeping me safe that I'm now ready to safely start new chapter of my life. It doesn't matter to me what you did anymore. Beware, this will the last time you will be close to me and insult me by kissing someone else's to be wife. I don't want to dismember you for your audacity."

God, give me enough patience to deal with this log-headed woman.

"Right. So you want to marry that pest!" I asked and nodded my head thoughtfully. "Alright. Do as you like. I will do what I should."

"Gladly."

"Are you not worried I will create havoc in future?" I asked when her reply froze me into speechlessness.

Does she really not care about my actions or is she so confident about that parrot pest?

My son is not helping me; he isn't in my team at all. He called me stranger. His mother is getting him a new papa and he is cool with it.

She devil is playing with my heart now that she got the chance. Not to mention she looks genuinely glad pairing with Regio.

For the first time in the past two years, I deeply regret keeping her away from me. I should've tied her in a dark room to keep her safe rather than keeping her away.

"Demetri," She husked out with a dreamy smile that twisted my stomach, "is not you, Majesty. He will take care of me in the right way when encountered with a storm." Saying that, she pushed me from her lightly and slipped out of my hold.

I will kill that man!

I will shoot him in between his eyes and feed his eyeballs to my pet eagle.

Mere thought of my Val taken care of another man other than me or her brother feels like dying by thousand needles pricked in the skin.

"Also, I trust him because he is not you."

That was the final nail into my heart before she left me in pain. Her words not just pained me but also provoked me.

She thinks Regio pest is the right man for her?

Well, I will give her enough proofs to think otherwise.
