Chapter 17

I couldn't do anything to her, also my head still can't wrap around why she would do something like that.

I knew Aiden didn't believe me when I told him it must be Queen. I have to gather evidence and also find out the truth. I want to know who did this to kids and made them pass through something like this.

I clenched my fist tightly as I stared at the pair, he is my mate but he is now protecting another, how disappointing.

"Oh! brother, I see you've not changed. You still don't know what you want huh?" Damien Inquired as he walked inside the room.

On hearing this, Aiden frowned slightly. "Don't get involved Damien."

"Why wouldn't I? Look at how you are treating your mate, I couldn't help but feel pity for her as I know she must be ousted through a lot." Damien said.

I don't know why he always had my back, but I appreciate it at this moment.

"how am I treating her? Her kids were talking and I made sure they got back safely to her. So, what's the problem." Aiden asked, getting annoyed.

"Oh you don't know?" Damieb questioned, raising his eyebrows.

"Then, let me enlighten you. Your so-called girlfriend is behind it all. Why don't you ask what Ryan heard before she left the mansion. You only listened to what Queen told you so how will you find out the truth?" Damien Inquired once again.

Seeing that her plan might fail with all the questions, Damien was suggesting Aiden ask, Queen panicked.

Racking her brain, she came up with an idea as she lit up. "seeing how you are supporting Ryan, could it be?" Queen questioned.

Although the question does not really answer Damiens previous question, it brought out something else in Aidens mind.

On hearing this, Aiden glanced at me before looking at Damien, "is it true?" he asked.

Not backing down, Damien answered with his own question. "What do you think?" immediately I heard those words come out of his mouth, I slapped my forehead.

What does he think he is doing?" I thought to myself as I watched him look at Aiden straight in the eyes.

I shook my head lightly as I watched this show down.

Ignoring what Dmaien said, Aiden looked at me, "is it true?"

Shaking my head lightly, "it is not."

Just as I thought things might end up there, a certain someone decided to make things harder by saying. "If you two are not, then how will you explain to Dmaien saving you each time you get lost and God knows what you have been doing before showing up here." Queen theorized.

Getting annoyed by her words, I looked at her coldly with my eyes blazing red.

I knew I could snap at the moment from now as anger boiled in me.

Queen looked at me, and gave me a triumphant look before emanating her gaze.

Standing up, I made my way to her. I knew I was losing control but I couldn't help it as anger boiled in me.

From kidnapping my kids to slandering me, just because of what? Aiden.

My head couldn't wrap around it but one thing was sure, I was passed.

Seeing this, Aiden was quick to intervene, "stop right now, Ryan."

Looking at him, my anger increased and I snapped at him, "what? You want me to stop? What have you ever done in this mansion other than to support Queen and watch her do all sort of things to me." At this point, I couldn't help it anymore as my hands were already shaking.

As I said those words, I was expecting the look in Aidens face to change even if it was a bit but it didn't, even in the slightest.

I was disappointed by this, looking at my children, I couldn't lose it in front of them, soni stormed out of the room. But before I left, I looked at Queen, "the next time you try this with me again, or include my kids, I will make sure you regret it greatly."

Seeing everything that happened after Queen entered the room, I was surprised at how angry Ryan was.

Then I remembered what she had said to me, when I carried her before she fainted. How she was eager to promise that her kids would stay in the mansion just for me to get her back.

Knowing how she cared for them and how she thought Queen was the orchestrator, I knew that things might not go well with Queen acting like she cared.

Queen brought up different suggestions which made me suspect Ryan until she snapped to an extent that I could feel her rage from a distance.

"Stop it right now, Ryan." I said as I noticed that she was losing control.

Looking at me, her anger increased as she snapped, "what? You want me to stop? What have you ever done in this mansion other than to support Queen and watch her do all sort of things to me." Ryan said, her hands shaking.

I could see it and I know that the only thing holding her back at this moment is the presence of her kids.

She must be trying to hold it in but couldn't.

Deciding to leave the room, she walked past me as she made her way out of the room but not without giving Queen a warning. "The next time you try this with me again, or include my kids, I will make sure you regret it greatly."

Then, she left, leaving through words behind as she walked out of the room.

Immediately she left, I didn't know what to feel, a part of me wanted to hold her as she made her way to the room, but I couldn't.

I don't even think I understand what is going on with me as my feelings seem to be going out of place.

I felt a little guilty as she snapped at me, but u couldn't say anything against what she said, I didn't know most of the things she talked about during her anger, but I knew something was up.

'Maybe I should have paid more attention to her.' I said to myself.

Looking at Queen's expression from the corner of my eyes, I noticed a smile on her lips as if saying, "take that."

I shook my head slightly as I got rid of the thoughts in my head. "Babe, let's go to sleep.''Queen said coquettishly as she got close to me.

This statement reminded me of the promise of Ryan sleeping in my room tonight, but then it's gone as the current actuation is not going to make that possible.

Somehow, I was filled with anger just looking at her face.
