Chapter 4: Hello, bitch

Enrico's POV

She gives us a look. Her purple eyes are filled with pride, wrath, and ferocity as she stares at us after Kate greeted her. We walked down the steps, and her eyes were as strong as they had always been. Kiara's expression makes me sick because she appears to be about to cry.

Kate asks, "Did you know how much I suffered because of you?"

Kiara scoffs, and her entire body is coated in flames as her eyes shine. "They told me what would happen. I may have lost my memories, but there are people who care about me. Kate, you will not get away with what you did," Kiara adds. Kate flushed when she noticed the dark aura in Kiara's eyes. She's enraged!

I raised my hand, and the wind blew off her fire. Kate laughs.

Other carriage arrives, and I was stunned to see the imperial carriage.

I thought only Kate's mom would come along with Kiara's dad. Why would my brother come here? The door opens.

"Greetings to his highness and her majesty!" We all say.

We all bow, but I was stunned when Kiara didn't show her respect. This woman! What is she doing? My brother looks at Kiara and the stroller.

He already have a four-year-old son. The other carriage opens, and their child comes out. He went straight into the stroller.

"Wow! Father, mother! Look at the quadruplets! They hold the four elements! They look like Uncle Enrico. Uncle! Look at my cousins. They're like your baby versions," Prince Viciel explains.

Kiara suddenly laughs, and everyone looks at her. "You might be the prince, right?" she says, crouched down. Her fierce eyes shift into gentle ones, and she caresses Viciel's head.

The prince blushes and smiles at Kiara. He looks at the babies again and plays with them. Kiara suddenly creates a fire sword and throws it straight at Kate. I shielded myself right away. Kate hugs me.

"Duke Enrico!" my brother roared.

I turn around and look at him with a calm expression. I know what he will do after seeing what I did.

"How dare you!" Kate's Mom roars.

Kiara turns around, and her stepmother's clothes turn to fire, and she yells. The water from the mountains was manipulated and splashed on Kate's mom.

"You!" Kate roars. 

I stopped her from approaching Kiara. Kate was surprised that instead of bullying her sister, she was the one who bullied her and her mom. The empress walks toward Kiara.

"Can we all talk outside?" she says.

Her eyes changed, and she smiled at my sister-in-law. We all get inside and are seated in the dining hall. The maids prepare lunch for her arrival.

My nephew and those babies were being fed in a different room. The maid steps back after pouring the drinks into our cups. My brother is seated in the center chair and looks at us. He closed his eyes and glared at me.

"Don't you think your wife should sit next to you, Enrico?"

"But your highness!" Kate says. He smacked the table, and everyone was startled. Kate stands up, yet Kiara remains seated.

"Kiara, sit next to your husband," her dad says.

Kiara scoffs, wipes the sides of her lips, and looks at everyone. She's sitting on the right side but keeps five chairs vacant. She looks at us.

"Me? I wonder if my stepsister won't get hysterical after the royal family please go back to the imperial palace. I have no time for an immature bitch that will freak out and throw a fit," Kiara replies.

"My child, don't make this too hard," her dad says.

She threw the napkin away and stood up. She walks closer, but instead, Kiara grabs Kate's hair and smacks her face against the plate of food.

Everyone was stunned by what she did, and Kate started to cry. I can't take this anymore! I pushed Kiara, and she fell to the floor. I glared.

"You have no right to push her like that. If you want to make trouble, not in front of me and the royal family!" I roared at her.

She stands up, and her tears fall. But the fire in her eyes is giving me chills. Her eyes did not reflect sadness. She's crying because of anger! She turns around and suddenly kicks me away.

"How can you act like a man when you're just an asshole?"

I groan after I am thrown against the wall, and I feel like my bones have cracked because of the impact. She is technically mad as hell! I stood up. She didn't even listen to what my brother said, even if he's the emperor of this country.

"Did you know what I went through because I delivered our sons out of time? Did you even know that I died before delivering the last baby out of four? You have no idea because you chose to comfort the woman who caused that situation!" she roars.

Her eyes have so much emotion that they lose their life. I see nothing in her eyes but darkness.

"Duchess Kiara, enough!" My brother roars, and wind walls get in between us.

It became a shield to protect me and Kiara from each other's attacks. Kiara laughs and looks at the emperor with those lifeless, crying eyes. Damn. 

I've seen her cry a thousand times, but this is the first time that I was moved. I feel like something caught my heart and started to affect Kiara's reactions.

She sheds her tears and looks at everyone. "What would I even expect? All those fucking rules and unwritten laws for a virtuous and noble-like person would be followed for that fucking name and title. Shit!" she curses.

She even curses as if it's nothing, which she never did. She was always submissive and followed every rule. What happened while she was in the hospital? She's not Kiara! Something is wrong!
