His Worst Mistake

Reset!

Troy stormed out of the McQuoid house. He got into the car and instructed the driver to return to the Palace.

"Bloody psychos" Troy muttered as he leaned back into the car seat.

Troy recalled Margot's state. She looked tired but for some reason he wished the babies were his. He harboured great hatred for bearing children but now he yearned for the child in Margot to be his.

Troy did not know what had suddenly come over him. He closed his eyes and tried to rest.

Getting to the palace, Troy quickly made his way to his study.

"Never accept any invites from that delusional old fool" Troy instructed John as he took off his suit jacket.

It was now summer, and it was deathly hot but Troy had to keep 'status quo'.

The Palace was cool, and Troy preferred to stay indoors.

John frowned.

"What do I have for today?" Troy asked the younger man.

John spelt out a list of tasks and Troy nodded.

"Margot is alive" Troy suddenly said as he worked on some papers.

John was taken aback. He did not expect for Troy to find out about this s suddenly.

"Sir?" John mustered out, feeling guilty about keeping information about her fake death.

Troy looked up from his papers.

"She's alive...and knocked up. She let some bastard knock her up and then claimed the baby was mine. Her idiot father tried to blackmail me into giving him the crown for the babies' safety. John I'm tired of that family's games." Troy told John.

John's heart beat faster. Whilst Troy repeatedly and adamantly denied ever touching Margot, John knew better. Those babies were heirs to the throne, and Troy had just thrown them away. For the first time, John wished he could slap Troy. Maybe that would send the illness away. John clenched his fists.

Troy noticed.
"John...are you okay?" Troy asked.

John blinked as he snapped out of his daze.

"Ah..sir. Yes sir. I'm just angry" John informed Troy.

Troy chuckled. "It's okay...I already dealt with it. Let's just finish this up" Troy said as he bent to continue working on the papers before him.

John gave Troy a wry smile.

Margot slept soundly in bed. Grayson sat beside her. Her hands clasped in his. Grayson then put Margot's hands under the duvet and went to open her door, five brothers gathered at the door and Grayson let them in.

Irving sprinted to Margot's side. Taking her in and looking for anything wrong.

"So he took her?" Hendrix gritted out.

Grayson nodded.

Hendrix sighed and rubbed his forehead.

"Did he hurt her?" Kristian asked

Grayson did not answer.

"Grayson?" Landon urged his brother to give an answer.

"She bled a bit apparently. But her and the babies are fine. It ws due to stress. She's fragile so it's all bedrest from here onwards" Grayson told his brothers flatly.

"Shit" Jasper swore.

"She'll be fine" Grayson said as he sighed.

"Funny thing is.... that bastard confidently denied the babies. He also said some things to Margot. She refused to tell me any details." Grayson informed his brothers.
