Althea

03

"Where is Althea?" I question Violetta as she shakes her head.

"Have your lunch, sir." she says, serving Eamon as he inhales the food like a savage. f*****g i***t.

I can't have lunch without Althea. We always eat together!

I huff, pushing my plate away. Violetta frowns at my act but doesn't say a word, she knows I don't eat without Althea.

It's been a year since she is here, and I've really grown fond of her. Two months ago, I got my back skinned because of her strawberry act but she apologized by bringing me cookies secretly when father had locked me in the dungeon for a week.

I was locked at the end of the dungeon, and to reach my cell, she had to cross a dozen other cells where men no less than monsters were locked. I know they scared her shitlessly, she's a baby after all. But she still came everyday just so she could bring something for me to eat.

Stupid Althea.

I jerk up from my chair at the sound of Althea screaming. Violetta looks at me alarmed, before she raises her hand.

Althea screaming wasn't something new in this house, she always has creative ideas to land herself in trouble.

"Finish your lunch, sir." Violetta says, but I was long gone, chasing the screams of my precious little girl.

I could feel my heart thudding wildly in my chest as her screams got louder. I find her on the kitchen floor, screaming like crazy. Kneeling near her, I pull her close to me as she continues to scream. Her hair was all over the place, and her face drenched in tears.

"Althea! Althea, what's wrong?" I question, patting her cheeks.

She looks at me with eyes filled with heavy tears but doesn't stop screaming. That's when I notice the reddish saliva dripping from her lips, but it's not blood.

"Althea, what happened?" I whisper, caressing her cheeks.

Her body was shaking, her eyes wide as she thrashed against me. Her body was very warm pressed against mine, her face pink as she shook. What's wrong with her?

"That's what you get for eating my stuff."

I look up at my stepmother standing near us, closing the empty jar of powdered chilly. It didn't take a genius to guess what she just did to my Althea.

"You. . .you fed her chili powder?" I question.

"She ate my chocolates." She shrugs.

"She's a baby!" I scream.

"She's a thief." She growls, turning around before she walks out of the kitchen.

I stand there shocked at the audacity of this woman when Althea's screams break me out of my thoughts. I immediately rush to her, grabbing a bottle from the refrigerator. I pour the cold water in her mouth as she begins to cry louder.

"Spit! Don't swallow, it will burn more." I say, desperately looking around the kitchen.

What should I do? She's in pain. My Althea's in pain. I have to make it go away. I have to make it go away now!

Althea sobs, as I keep pouring the water in her mouth and she spits after moving it around her mouth. Placing the bottle beside her, I rush to the pantry, desperately looking at the items there. I grab the little jar of honey, running outside to her.

She was hugging the water bottle, wailing her eyes out at this point. Her face was red, and she looked like she was about to pass out.

I push my fingers into the honey, scooping some before placing it in her mouth. Althea looks at me with wide eyes for a minute before she licks all the honey.

"Don't eat it, keep it on your tongue." I give her a little glare, scooping out some more honey.

She licks it all again looking at me innocently with her big eyes, making me huff. I don't know how long I stay there with her, just feeding her honey, until she stops crying and drifts into a deep slumber.

But Violetta wasn't pleased when she walked into the messy kitchen, she should be glad it was just water and honey, not my stepmother's blood. No one hurts my Althea.

My stupid Althea.

"Ohh, Althea." I grunt.

The woman who had my c**k deep into her throat, looks up at me, clearly offended.

"My name is Ma-"

"Not interested." I growl, threading my fingers into her hair, pushing my c**k deeper into her throat until I was shooting ropes and ropes of c*m into her.

She coughs violently, when I push her away, zipping my trousers. She buttons up her blouse, looking up at with teary eyes.

"You're very mean, Mr. King." She says, wiping her lips.

"Yeah, thanks. Go get me some whiskey." I roll my eyes, adjusting back on my seat.

My flight attendant just glares at me, picking herself from the floor before she walks out. I close my eyes, leaning back on the seat. I'm going home, the place I've been avoiding for ten years. Althea must be eighteen now. A grown woman. She must be absolutely beautiful.

I'd be acting like a delusional motherfucker if I say I didn't crave seeing her every day in these ten years. But I couldn't see her. I couldn't let her see the monster I've become. I guess it's finally time now.

"Eeww, this place smells like a whale just dumped his c*m here." Kai cringes as he strolls in.

"How do you know what whale c*m smells like? You know what? I don't even want to know." I sigh, rubbing my temple.

Kai and I trained together in the academy. He was actually the only guy who stuck by my side without burning his ass off in jealousy like others did. Then, his family got killed and his tribe was taken over by another gang. I took him in as my second man, and we've been inseparable since then.

"So, you excited?" he grins, sitting in front of me.

"About what?" I roll my eyes.

"To meet Althea!" he smiles.

"No. Why would I be excited to meet her? She's my future sister-in-law." I growl.

Ouch. Why do I always hurt myself with my own words!?

"We slept in the same room for five years." he says.

"So? You're pregnant and want money for child support?" I raise an eyebrow as he chuckles.

"Yes, I can't raise this baby alone in this cruel world. I need your support, my love." he says, dramatically, placing his hand on his flat belly.

"I've heard you moan her name during your nightmares every night, Khaos. You call for her every time your emotions go out of control, either you're angry, sad or just horny. I know she's more than what you say." he says, with all the seriousness his joker body could afford.

"f**k you. And I'll chop your d**k off if you utter any of it ever again. Obviously if you have one." I growl.

He shrugs, smiling at me. I grunt, closing my eyes. As closer I get to home, the anxious I get. This feels way harder than I thought it would be. Why is meeting Althea making me lose my s**t!? The f**k is wrong with me!?

Kai dances on my head like an evil demon for the rest of the journey. I could feel my heart thudding as the car pulled into the driveway of my father's mansion. Kai buttons up his shirt and pulls up his tie to put on a decent impression.

I step out of the car to see my family with huge smiles waiting for me at the door. f*****g assholes! I make a quick scan of the crowd. No cute girl with brown hair and big green eyes detected.

"Khaos, my son. My pride." My father roars in joy as he pulls me into a hug.

I clench my fists, fighting the urge to just punch him until his face is shoved inside his head, like I used to do with Maria's dolls. Well, that was only because Maria denied sharing her dolls with Althea, and no one bought Althea any toys. My little Althea cried over those stupid dolls all the time.

"I'm so proud of you. You aced at the academy, and now you're so feared. People are begging for alliances with us just because of you, my son." he grips my shoulders, shaking me lightly as a huge grin sits on his face.

This is the nicest he has ever been to me. Funny how quickly people change when you have power. I knew this b***h will be licking my shoes, that's why I worked my ass off at the academy. Now, I just to claim the position of the Capo. I'll make them all cry tears of blood and bring my mother back.

"Khaos, nice to have you back." My stepmother smiles at me.

"Sure, Nera." her face twists in annoyance when I call her by her name. She'd be dreaming if she thought I was going to respect her.

"Hey." Eamon lets out an awkward wave, not even trying to put a smile on.

Evil bastard. I hope his d**k falls off for not smiling at me.

"Where is Maria?" I question, looking at my father.

"She's got married two years ago. She will be joining us tonight for dinner with her husband, don't worry." he smiles, placing his hand on my shoulder.

Wow! Maria, my only sister got married and these people didn't even find it necessary to inform me. I don't even care actually. I only want to see Althea. f**k you, Khaos! Stop thinking about Althea.

"This is Kai. My second in command." I say, gesturing to Kai who looked like he was about to pull out a pillow and nap on the driveway.

"I thought your second in command should be Eamon." My father's strict tone seeps back into his voice.

"Well, it's Kai." I shrug.

"Dad, its fine. I don't think Khaos, and I can work together anyway." Eamon says, throwing a glare my way.

Okay dude, I did bully you your entire childhood and made it the most traumatizing years of your life but why you're glaring at me like that? This guy has no sense of humor, I actually laugh when I think about our childhood, it was fun to push him around.

The small family gathering slowly disappears, leaving me and Kai wondering in the living room with a few maids. They pick up our luggage, dragging them upstairs.

"Hey you!" I growl at one of them.

She looks at me with wide eyes, literally shaking. Am I that scary? Yes, I kill people when I'm bored.

"Where is Althea?" I growl at her.

Fuck! What am I saying?

Kai stifles a giggle beside me, making me feel like a fool. I should probably kill him, he knows too much at this point.

"In the kitchen, making dinner." the maid whispers.

I smirk, turning around heading towards the kitchen.

Daddy is here, my sweet little Althea.

Actually . . .

My stupid Althea.
