"Aaron!" Raymond screamed at him. He pushed the woman away and walked into the house.

"Sir Raymond! What are you doing?" Raymond clenched his jaw. He was disgusted. He walked toward the dinning room, Aaron was inside the kitchen, cooking meals for his new wife.

He blinked and turned, Raymond's fist connected with Aaron's jaw, making the tray in his hands fall, and he followed it. Raymond desencsed on him, turned to his back and in truth, the birthmark was there. All the scars Aaron had acquired from years of training and fighting were visible. This was the Emperor and nobody else.

"What the hell are you doing?!" Nyx screamed at him.

Raymond looked up from Aaron's back, Nyx and her friends stood, staring at him, horrified by the view.

"You bitch!" Raymond sneered and stop up back. "What have you done with my Master?! What have you done with the Emperor?!" He screamed at her. He approached her but Aaron stood up and pushed him back.

"What the hell are you doing? How dare you come to my home and attack my pregnant wife?!" Aaron was not the one to raise his voice but when he came to Nyx, he would not allow a mere stranger who was just selling them a dream to hurt her.

"Pregnant wife? Aaron you already have a pregnant wife! She is in Harriton waiting for you! Wondering when you will return! You are here with this wrench, fucking her! To the point that you get her pregnant and marry her?! An Ominos woman?! How do you want the court to perceive this betrayal, how can you humiliate Empress Irisa like this?!" Raymond screamed at me.

Aaron's eyes narrowed, for a subordinate, Raymond had a lot of effortnery. He did not care for the Empress, he did not even know her, why would care how she perceived him? Nyx saved him, he would never betray her!

"I am in love with this Ominos woman you just called a wrench! I cannot believe that this is how you act to your Emperor?! hitting him?!"

"Are you crazy?!" Nyx snapped, angrily. She pulled Aaron's bruised cheeks, examining it. "Are you alright?" One could see deep worry im her eyes. Raymond scoffed, not believing what was happening, Emperor Aaron had taken another wife, he had destroyed the Royal marriage and sullied his vows.

"Irisa would be disappointed, you did not deserve this, she does not deserve this betrayal, this humiliation, how could you?" Raymond shook his head, deeply hurt by the betrayal.

"I do not know who Irisa is! I do not care! I love Nyx! I married her! If you care so much about Empress Irisa then marry her! Leave me the hell alone!" Aaron screamed at him.

"Oh no! No! No! No! No! You are going to come with me and you are going to fulfil your duty to Kaley, no matter what!" Raymond sad with determination in his eyes.

"I am going nowhere with you!" Aaron argued, he was going to protect Nyx at all cost.

"Oh yes you will," Aaron's eyes widened when a group of tall heavy men walked into the small kitchen, some of them stood by the doorway.

"What? What are you doing?" Aaron looked around the room. He couldn't believe Raymond was attempting to intimidate him.

"You will go with us, or we will not spare your wife," Raymond said.

Aaron's eyes widened, he pulled Nyx behind him, he was not going to allow any one touch her, but he was not going to leave without her. With the look of hatred in Raymond's eyes, he did not trust him not to kill her or their unborn baby. He pulled her into his arms.

"I would rather die than leave without her," Aaron replied, with courage and determination in his eyes.

"If you want to force me to come with you, I will but my wife comes with me, you will accord her the utmost respect! I am not going to allow a mere noble disrespect her or my child?" He snapped.
