Inside the Master Office of the mansion situated in the northern side of the mansion..
"Knock knock."
"Come in." Matthias answered. He was sitting at the table, handling papers. He looked at the door and waited for the person to come in
The door opened, and an old man wearing a suit entered the office, "Master Eisenhower, Young Master Raquis is currently carrying an unconscious girl inside the mansion with doctors coming behind him."
He abruptly stood up and looked at the old man, "Where are they right now?"
"In his room, Master." The old man replied.
"Let's go there right away."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThey walked briskly towards the western side of the main house, to where Raquis' room is.
Raquis was said to have gone on a business trip in Atara, a new country that is established in the continent of Sena, northwest of Selas. He stayed there for a long time and Matthias didn't bother to spy on him.
They opened the door and in the room was Raquis, pacing back and forth looking at an unconscious woman lying on the Alaskan King-sized bed with love and worry in his eyes.
Doctors were taking care of her while she's on the bed. They were stabilizing her state and were fully focused on their job.
He was shocked when the door opened. It was his father Matthias and their old butler Cameron, who served his father since he was 16. "Father!" Raquis cried out.
Matthias inspected the woman on the bed. She was very beautiful, she looked kind, cheerful, and elegant. Her tummy was bulging and she was wincing in pain.
"What happened, Raquis? Who's she?" He questioned him with narrowed eyes.
"Father, I'll tell you the truth." His son sighed and explained everything to Matthias.
Alena was a girl she met in Atara. She mistook him as a taxi driver when he was waiting for someone while smoking. He found it amusing and just went with the flow. Everyday, he would be waiting for Alena outside her door as a taxi driver, which Alena thought was convenient. But overtime as they started to know each other, they also started falling in love.
Alena's kindness, sweetness, elegance, and cute braveness attracted Raquis. Raquis' coolness, calmness, handsomeness, and innate aura of power amazed Alena.
Raquis dismissed his schedule to fly to Siso and married Alena in private. They had a son named Raquel, and now, Alena was once again pregnant.
But tragedy struck when kidnappers kidnapped Raquel. Then, Alena's parents came rushing in demanding Alena to give them money. Alena became too stressed and fainted. Raquis used all of his secret connections and demanded doctors to take care of her. Raquis then made all of Atara and the neighbouring country's soldiers to search for his son immediately.
Raquis then scheduled a flight to Siso in his private shuttle to rush to The Eisenhower Mansion with the suffering Alena.
"Why didn't you tell her your identity and let her suffer like this?" Matthias asked coldly.
"I just went with the flow of her taking me as a taxi driver. I didn't expect to love her, so I stayed with her as the person she loved; a normal taxi driver. I wanted to tell her the truth but I can't because what if she leaves me? I wouldn't be able to take it as I already really love her. And we have a son and an upcoming child!" Slowly, Raquis started breaking down and sobbed while tagging at his father's suit.
Matthias' heart went warm and kneeled to the same height as his sobbing son, "Shh.. I understand. I also kept a secret when I was a kid to my crush. But I realized late that keeping secrets isn't that healthy. Although secrets could shield your partner from your problem, problems are made for couples to face together. So, next time, don't keep secrets."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMatthias looked at the woman on the bed and sighed, "What an unfortunate gal. Having unscrupulous parents and even having her family a problem. As my daughter-in-law and the bearer and mother of my grandchildren, I would not want her to suffer anymore."
He stood up and walked towards her, the doctors noticed him and were shocked and scared, "Greetings, Old Master Eisenhower." Matthias was known as the most powerful and mysterious person in all of Betania. His power is so immense, that no one could really measure or even estimate it.
"Mhmm." Although Matthias was cringing at the words "Old Master", he needs to accept it as, over the years of him staying in Betania, his stature could already be said as over 50. His refined face, straight body, muscular body, and eyes filled with vicissitudes signified his long time of living.
He waved them away and the doctors subconsciously backed off, amazing them even more. He knelt down and inspected Alena, "She's near giving birth. Misters, please back away."
"Thank you, Father." Raquis' body felt that the pressure bearing upon him slowly alleviated. He cried and kowtowed to his father, thanking him greatly.
"I didn't do it just for you." Matthias answered and looked at her, "She's still my daughter-in-law and the mother of my grandchildren. Your mother and siblings wouldn't want someone that important to suffer."
Matthias turned his face to Cameron, "Cameron, call my wife and my children. Tell them that their elder brother brought a new family."
"Affirmative, Master Eisenhower." The old butler bowed and left the room. Raquis' eyes lit up and smiled happily.
Soon, Jennese Eisenhower rushed and opened the door, "Where's my daughter-in-law?!" She lost her cool and elegance when he first heard that she has a daughter-in-law and a grandchild and excitedly rushed to Raquis' room.
She was wearing her sleeping gown, and her hair was all messed up, her eyes have small spots of gound. Although she looked like someone straight from a huge tornado, her eyes still looked as starry as the night sky with excitement on her face.
