Mafia Men II: Lorenzo's Gilded Cage Chapter One Hundred And Twenty-One
♕—Delilah Alexander walked one step ahead of me, it was the royal protocol for a wife to walk a step behind her husband but I couldn't be more grateful for it than I was now because just on the other side of me, Lorenzo followed us. I watched his feet as I took every step with him. A sly smile crept up on my lips as I kept stealing glances at him. His presence was so overpowering, god, he was outshining the King without even lifting a finger. He answered whatever Alexander asked of him, his voice brusque and stern. He wasn't looking at me, not even for a second. Maybe, because he didn't want to alarm anyone here. He wasn't mad at me, was he? I mean, after how I left things he must hate me—no, no he doesn't if he hated me, he wouldn't even be here. He would've left me to fend for myself but he didn't. I'm the only reason he is here. We went to the sitting room of Alexander's castle. His servant turned the TV on for him as he relaxed on the couch, gesturing for me to come to join

♕—Delilah The second I saw my mother, I desperately wanted to run into her arms and hold her tight, but I kept my composure, refusing to let my emotions show in public. I held my head high and commanded my feet to keep walking down the main hall, Lorenzo's presence behind us a reminder that I needed to stay strong. His footsteps were the only thing that enabled me to move forward.The entire nation was in mourning, with sombre faces instead of joyful expressions. The melodic tolling of the bells was deeply sorrowful, echoing the same sound I heard when my grandfather passed away.Alexander accompanied us, not permitting me to converse with my mother unaccompanied, even for a moment. I had joined my mother and sibling at the head of the stretched-out one-hour parade to Kingsborough, where the memorial service for Papa would take place.The service ended but the coffin stayed there for a few hours so that people could pay their respects. The clock tower struck, and the whole country ha

♕—Delilah The ten days of mourning the King were over.For as long as we stayed at my brother's palace, Lorenzo made sure that Alexander slept in a separate bedroom... always. Mama had gotten better after everything settled she told me that she wasn't crying because of papa, she was crying more because of Anthony. He was young, vulnerable and now he was thrown into this world and that too, the deal he made with Nikolai Costello could end in the same way the deal with papa did. Papa backed out of his deal which resulted in my being kidnapped, mama imprisoned in her own home, my marriage to Alexander, and ultimately papa being assassinated in front of the world. She doesn't want the same for Anthony... I hugged mama goodbye and curtsied in front of Anthony, he wanted to hug me, I could see it in his eyes but it wasn't a reasonable thing to do for a reigning monarch. We left the palace at night and boarded the royal jet to fly back home. I kept stealing glances at Lorenzo but he acte

♕—Delilah A sick noise escaped my throat. My eyes were dull. My hands went to my mouth as I dry-heaved; I choked, shut my eyes, and ran to the bathroom, pushing everyone out of my way. I bent over the toilet seat and a thick rush of fluid filled my mouth, and spilled out, as I wretched in the toilet bowl. An acidic taste filling up my mouth making me gag a bit more. I flushed the toilet and moved to the sink; unsteady on my feet to brush my teeth once more. I felt dizzy and lightheaded, my legs were trembling as I reached for the toothbrush, putting toothpaste over it and brushing my teeth and tongue to rid of the disgusted taste from my mouth. Once I was done, I turned and went out of the bathroom, making my way back to the girls who were doing my hair and make-up. "What?" I asked as they all looked at me oddly. "Are you sick, Your Royal Highness?" I ran a tired hand down my face and blew out a breath, minty and fresh, "I guess so..." "Morning sickness?" another asked. "You'

♕—Delilah I lay in bed alone, it was early hours in the morning. A smile etched on my face as I caressed my stomach. I wasn't showing, my stomach was as flat as the day I got married but I knew he or she was in there. It probably looks more like its dad, with dark eyes, and darkest hair, oh, I would give anything to see my beautiful black-haired baby right now. I glanced down at my stomach, "You're going to be the most protected baby in the world, you know that. Your dad would kill anyone who'd even look at you the wrong way. He is going to love you. He is going to love you so much and you and I are so lucky to have daddy in our life. He is our strength, baby..." Heaving a blissful sigh, I got up and took the medicine the doctor had prescribed me for morning sickness. I still couldn't believe I was pregnant, I was going to be a mother and that child belongs to the man I loved. It was made with love and passion, not fear and tears. "I love you, I love you so much, baby..." I whispe

♕—Delilah I released a sudden sigh and tried opening my mouth to speak. But no words flowed out. I gulped. Then with a little more strength, I tried to speak, "Nothing..." but it came out hoarse, barely audible. He had only taken off his clothes, he was wearing white briefs as he made his way to me and touched the bracelet on my wrist. "Who gave it to you?" I released the breath I was holding in when I realized what he was talking about, it was a bracelet a sick child has given me that he made himself today. I wore it, it had my name on it. It was made from colorful painted stones. It was a far cry from the expensive royal jewelry I had worn but I couldn't find it in myself to take it off. It was made with love. "A child made it for me—"He cut me off, sternly "Take it off, it looks cheap!" Swallowing, I slowly took it off, fisting it in my hand along with the empty packet. "Throw it into the bin." I walked to the bin and threw the bracelet in it along with the packet. I made m

♕—Delilah The physician had come for a monthly check-up and it was a quite thorough one. I had wanted to keep the news about my pregnancy under wraps but I couldn't have been more wrong to think that I could outsmart a doctor. The staff had already informed the doctor about my morning sickness and frequent vomiting, and even though they had not said it out loud, they had hinted to the doctor that I was pregnant. And here I was sitting before him with a positive pregnancy test, finally able to confirm the news."Congratulations, Your Grace," the doctor said in a stern tone as if he wasn't really ecstatic about this news. Maybe, they didn't want Alexander to reproduce. I understand. But this wasn't his child. He asked tentatively, intertwining his hands before himself, "Would you like me to inform the King?"I firmly shook my head, "No, it's alright. I believe it's best if I am the one to relay the information." He bowed his head in resignation, "If that is Your Majesty's wish."Tr

♕—Delilah He shot me a questioning glance, and I nervously smiled, "I'm pregnant..."An eerie hush filled the dining hall for a few minutes until his cousin eventually broke the silence, "We're so pleased for you both, congratulations!"Immediatelyy after, they all joined in and wished us and the baby well. I felt a knot in my stomach tightening with each and every one of the kind words they said, but still managed to give them a faint smile in response.I turned to Alexander, my voice tight with tension, "You're not happy, are you?" He gave me a hard stare before reaching across the table to grasp my hand in his, "Yes, I'm very happy. This is a true blessing. It's incredible." His friend, sensing the taut atmosphere, added softly, "It really is a miracle."He grasped my hand tightly and I nervously shot him a smile. The servers then brought out the last course. Everyone ate in what felt like an uncomfortable silence, and things ended up going better than I had anticipated. I was s
