Royal Princess: Doted On By The Mafia King

There was a lot Leah had to tell the youth and she wanted him to be in a relaxed mood before telling him such painful truth. She ordered for what he said was his favorite food from a five star restaurant and when he began eating, she decided to tell him.

"Hmm," he hummed as the soon as he took a mouthful of the food.

"Carl . . ." she began leaning forward on the brown leather sofa she sat on.

He only glanced at her before he continued eating to his fill. After weeks of eating only the food provided to him by the hospital, the food before him tasted so heavenly.

"Your biological mum is dead, right?" she asked after a while of watching him eat with so much satisfaction.

"Hmm," he replied easily with a nod uninterestedly. He heard his mother died after childbirth leaving him and his twin brother.

"Your brother's biological mother is not dead. She is your step mother. I am not going to sugarcoat it for you because I can't. I am sure you might not believe most of what I have to say but I am simply telling the hard fact I paid a weighty sum of money to get for you," she decided to do a little introduction before dropping the bomb on the boy.

He looked at her with his chopstick hanging in the air and his mouth stuffed to its limit with an unsure expression. He was obviously hesitating. She made knowing the truth sound like opening a Pandora box.

"Should I go on?" she asked when she noticed his hesitation.

"Hmm," he replied with a sure nod of his head.

"Well, your brother is the biological son of your step mum. Your biological mother never gave birth to a set of twin. She gave birth to you alone but your step mother had also just given to your step brother that was why they made him your twin brother. Your father got married too your mother because he wanted to gain access to the council. He could never join the council without marrying your mother so your mother was killed as soon as she gave birth to you."

The boy nodded as though he was only listening to a story about somebody else that had no connection to him.

Leah knew that he was being skeptical about what she just narrated to him. He must be too shocked to believe the whole dramatic narration was about him. She pressed her lips together in pity. "I understand if you don't want to believe me," she told him with an encouraging smile.

"Is there any reason why I should not believe you?" he asked watching her closely with the chopsticks he held pressing on his lips.

"Not that I know of," she replied she easily. "I only think it will be too shocking to believe."

"Do you know how many times I have heard her refer to him as her son while she has never said that to me? He might not be my twin brother but he is still my brother and I love him. After all we share the some father," he said with a nod like he was trying to force himself to believe that.

"Are you okay?" Leah asked worriedly. "I did all I did to prevent you from living in deception for the rest of your life. Perhaps they will tell you the truth on your death bed. Your mother's family knows nothing about all this because if they knew, they would have removed your father from the royal council," Leah continued narrating.

"I don't believe he killed my mother. I heard he had a very hard time after my mother died. I heard my mother's family had to force him to get married before he married my step mother. All you said might be true except for that," Carl said firmly.

"I have told you the truth I know so, what you believe is up to," Leah said. She rested her back on the sofa's backrest. If he has no desire to investigate it fully or any desire to seek vengeance then there was no way she could have him work for Liam because that was the plan she made up.

The two remained quiet while Carl ate to his fill occasionally humming as he enjoyed his lunch. "Thanks for the meal and for the information too. I will ask my father if what you said is true. I know very well that parents have favorite kids.

"I don't think you made up the story because I can't come up with a reason why you will do that so I guess the PI you hired lied to you. I won't believe the evidence he gave you. I will ask my father if you are right anyway. Thanks for the meal once again," he said with a smile as he wiped his lips with some wipes.

"I don't think the boy is as naïve as he seems," Leah told Charlie standing only few feet away from the wall of the glass room Liam laid in unconscious.

"So what do you intend to do?" Charlie asked leisurely. They could still carry out their plan without the boy so if he decided to disbelief the evidence they gathered for him; they could just switch to the next plan. They won't lose in anyway rather the boy will die miserably. The only reason he was still alive was because of Liam's intervention. The moment he becomes useless, then Liam will abandon him.

"I don't know. I will simply wait. Whatever decision he makes is up to him after all he is not irreplaceable," Leah replied calmly. She wished the boy will be wise enough to make his father and the council pay for his biological mother's death.

"Well then. It is a good thing the boss is making progress. I guess he will awake very soon," Charlie said with a sad smile. "How is Rose?"
