❤ Engaged To My Enemy 🚫 [ SonAmy AU ]

Chapter 59 | 'The Monarch'

He then turned to me and asked, "Huh?"

I remarked, "You know, for you to be able to receive help." Then, when he turned his head away from me and fiddled with the hem of his shirt, Sonic seemed lost in thought. Naturally, I was anxious to hear his response. After what seemed like an eternity, he finally said, "I'll think about it. "Although it wasn't a complete yes, I was happy that he would think about getting help from a professional. My uncle, who is Sonic's doctor, then entered the room. He actually knocked earlier, but we must have missed him because of our conversation earlier. My uncle smiled as he showed me the inside of the box that he was carrying, "Hello, can I check Sonic's condition for a minute?" Sonic was not pleased at all because it was packed with medical equipment.

Sonic answered yes and I laughed at the sight of his frown as my uncle looked at him right away. My Uncle called, "Oh, and Amy?" I overheard. "Yes," I said. "It would just take a moment, but may we have a little conversation outside?" he said. I nodded, assuming that he was interested in Sonic's response about receiving expert assistance. After a little while, my uncle and I were positioned three doors away from Sonic's room. Was this really so important, I wondered. The conversation was obviously going deeper than what Sonic had to say when he groaned and seemed troubled.

I questioned him, "Is something wrong, Uncle?" He opened his eyes swiftly and gave me a startled look. He sighed again and took the seat behind him, saying, "Nothing's wrong... I'm just... a little disturbed." I tried to lighten his mood by saying, "I'm sure that I'll be able to understand what you have to say, I'm not a child anymore." I then sat next to him and waited for his response.

"How long..."

"How long what?"I then asked after him as I turned to face him. I was astonished at how serious he was, and that threw me off guard. "How long have you two known each other?" he inquired. I hesitantly said, "Sonic? Possibly almost a year now." When I shook my head in response to his subsequent question, "Did your mother say anything?", his demeanor remained unchanged, and his eyes widened in horror. I questioned, "What is it? Why do you look so worried? He instantly glanced aside when he saw my frightened expression, "I see..." He then sighed again and wiped his brow forcefully, "Nothing. We'll talk about this later with your parents." He left me wondering what he really wanted to say, I sighed and went back to Sonic's room. 

As I sat down next to Sonic, he inquired, "What did you two talk about?" I shrugged at him, "I don't know, he simply asked me stuff about us." Sonic responded, "About what?" I grinned and said, "Oh, just some stuff." He blushed and hastily turned his eyes away from me, which made me giggle.

My cousin and my uncle came over to our house for dinner that evening. As I was eating, my cousin kept staring at me, so I assumed he had already heard from his father. But what exactly about Sonic and I seemed so odd? Or was he merely being guarded? My Uncle abruptly added, "Zoe, I think we need to talk about something." Despite the fact that I didn't do anything improper that needed to be discussed, I was nonetheless anxious for some reason. My dad also noticed my Uncle and my cousin's quick conversion, and my mother gave me a puzzled look before responding to my Uncle, "What is it?". My Uncle said, "As you may know, our family has always exercised caution in public. Because of our family name, it has been difficult for us to keep secure. Although, fewer people are aware of our history." Since when did we start taking measures, I wondered. And what made our family name so peculiar? Again looking at me, my mother was obviously astonished to learn about it. I wanted to question her as to why she kept this from me, but I preferred to let my Uncle continue. My Uncle scowled at my mother and said, "I bet you didn't inform Amy about this either." "I did it to keep her safe," My mum spoke while using a handkerchief to cover her mouth. My Uncle slammed the table with his fist, "What part of this is protecting her, you even forced her to get engaged to the heir of the 'Mexuis' family!" Before my mother could finish, my Uncle interrupted, "It was to defend this city from an impending disaster—!" My mother screamed, "BULLSHIT! How can you forget that the 'Mexuis' family is connected to the 'Alexander' family?! ", shocked by what she had just heard. Even my father found what he just heard to be horrifying. My cousin said, his eyes serious, "Amy, you deserve to know this. Being engaged to Sonic will put our family, and especially you, in danger. I was so shocked and perplexed by what was happening that I didn't even know where to start.
