Chapter 71: 71| HOW WE MET

"I'm pregnant, you assholes! Could you let me out of here first, so I can get this baby out of me?" Kayla yelled, clutching the protectors tightly, even trying to climb it. Titi was in juvenile prison and the truth was, she was almost going crazy without her daughter by her side. No one paid her attention, though and she kept screaming until a figure walked up in front of the cell. The other inmates in the cell, glanced up at the visitor and on seeing who it was, the women sprang up and watched him intently, like he was a favorite snack. Only Kayla shook in fear.

"We meet again, Kayla." Eron spoke and she shook her head.

"I'm pregnant, you can't hurt me." She responded. He chuckled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

"You think I'm here to hurt you? What are the guards for, then?" He queried and she didn't reply, just stared at him. He continued, "Wow. Never thought I'd see the day where you'd finally shut up." She scoffed now, replying nonchalantly,

"Well, surprise surprise."

She began to move towards the protector again, seemingly regaining her confidence. He spoke this time, "I'll make sure you suffer for every lie you fashioned against me, Kayla. I'm not a very merciful man, so do not think I give a fuck about that bastard growing in you. You will serve every single day out of the jail time you're given. I'll make sure of it."

Her face suddenly morphed into one of utter sadness at his words and she began to make sobbing sounds, clutching the protectors again, and sticking her hand out in a bid to touch him. Then she said,

"B-But I didn't do anything wrong, Eron. My offense was loving you. Loving you and hoping to get your love in return. You know, tit for tat. But after everything I did, you never showed me any love, you never showered me with your attention like you did that bitch. I was always number two, or not even an option. All I did was only to capture your love, Eron. I love you so much, can't you see it? I'm the right woman for—"

"Shut up." And just like that Eron ended her rant. She obediently kept her mouth shut this time, but only to watch him for what seemed like the last time. She was right, because he spoke again, "I'm only here to tell you that your daughter has been taken out of prison and it's only because my wife said so—"

She gasped, interrupting him, "You married her?" His face brightened as he replied,

"Of course I did. Now back to what I was saying, Titi is out of prison and will now be under my custody, as my stepsister. My Princesa also pleaded on your behalf, but like I said, you'll be here for as long as the court deems necessary. Goodbye, Kayla."

All her yelling and cries fell on deaf ears, though. Just like that, Eron threw her out of his life completely.

"Where are we going?" Frema questions Riley for the umpteenth time. Riley rolled her eyes, honestly thinking of ways to gag her friend just so she'd finally shut up. Thankfully, they got to the location before she could carry out her plan and she sighed.

"Here. Now get down, you annoying piece of shit." She said and Frema did not make any move to alight the car they had come in, as her confused gaze still lingered on the building. Why the hell were they in Kimmy's Palace? Riley got out of the car and after glaring at Frema for a while, she finally got out as well and asked again,

"Hmm, why did you come here, Riles?"

Riley took her hand and literally dragged her along with her. "To have lunch, you dimwit." She simply said and Frema finally shrugged, walking into the building with her friend. On getting there, the place looked normal... so she just followed Riley to a table and sat with her. She looked around while they waited for someone to take their orders. The place had been slightly renovated, she noticed, but it was still as beautiful as it was in the past. A topnotch restaurant, no doubt.

"Why is no one here yet?" Frema finally asked after she'd called some waiters over, but Riley was busy with her phone, seeming unbothered so she left her alone. Frema was about to pull out her phone too, when she caught sight of two elegant male waiters walking towards them. Her mouth literally dropped!

Liam and Eron were both clad in the exact uniforms of the restaurant and even if they looked a bit too posh in it, she thought they rocked it just as well, too. After a few steps, Eron pushed a frowning Liam back and now walked alone towards them while Liam stayed behind the table. He looked over at a particular table and winked, so Fremantle turned around sharply to see who he'd winked at. Arsen and his friends sat on the table he was looking at and instead of smiling like Liam, Arsen was frowning heavily. Frema chuckled at the exchange, finally realizing it. Everyone had planned this, but she knew it was probably Eron's idea. He was recreating the first day they'd met, but this time, Liam and himself were waiters. Frema's chest was almost bursting with emotion from the entire set-up. She looked at Riley who blew her a kiss from her seat. She caught it and turned back to Eron.

He grinned when he got to her table. Her eyes landed on his name tag first, before landing on his face. "Welcome to Kimmy's Palace. Can I take your orders?" He asked and she kept staring at him, caught in a trance until Riley snatched the menu off his hand and began to look through it. She followed, a blush creeping into her cheeks as she remembered what had transpired between them this morning. Her thighs clenched in remembrance of his member being in-between them. He'd marked her all over and filled her with his seed twice—not gentle in any way. Of course he knew where her mind had drifted to and his eyes darkened, but he said nothing, patiently waiting for them to finish their orders.

"Steak and chips." The women said in unison. He went off after that and when he returned, Frema was shocked beyond words to see her sons trailing behind the men. They all served the food and then took their seats.

Frema laughed out loud. "Huh? But this isn't what I remember happening." She said, ruffling her sons' hairs with adoration in her eyes. They kissed her cheek in response.

She looked back at Arsen and he winked at not only her, but also Riley and she could see the happiness in his eyes for them. She turned back to her table, smiling even wider.

"Well, we're hungry and we can't stick to script anymore." Liam answered. Eron bent over to kiss her long and hard, until everyone cleared their throats. She blushed, but they still held each other's gaze.

"Always and forever, my love." He promised. Frema did not waste time to respond,

"Always and forever, my perfection."

She looked back at Arsen and he winked at not only her, but also Riley and she could see the happiness in his eyes for them.
