The Billionaire's Wanted✔[#1 Xerxes Kings]

Chapter 27: Birth

ARIELA'S POV

I paused on my way after having another pang of pain in my back.

I groaned to ease the unbearable pain since my pregnancy grew a lot bigger compared to last time. The triplets become heavier each day that I almost need a wheelchair to sit on wherever I go.

"Should I carry you?" Xerxes quickly responded as his flexible arms were wrapped gently on my waist as I hold on to my belly softly. I breathe out some air before shaking my head.

"I'm fine. We're meeting my little brother right? I have to walk." I replied but he didn't let go. He silently holds me by my waist as I struggle to walk another step. "I'll rest for a while."

"Big sis..." My eyes quickly landed in my little brother's direction. He's breathing fast as if he runs the road for an hour while looking at me intently, straight to my soul. His brown hair was messy and his white shirt looks like it wasn't ironed for a week.

"R-Raf...?" I murmured before another pain hit me. But, it's no longer that kind of pain I've felt before, this pain is greater.

"Mr. Xerxes... Kings..." He stated after turning his gaze to the man holding me by my waist. I can see how his eyes carried mixed reactions of hate and fear. Does he still fear Xerxes?

I ignored the pain before turning to look at Xerxes who has a stoic face along with his black eyes staring coldly at Rafael as if he hates him from the bottom of his guts. I almost stopped breathing when he turned to look at me but this time, his cold black eyes soften.

"Rafael... Montemayor." Xerxes coldly stated his name as if Rafael remained a deadly poison in his tongue.

There are only the three of us staring at each other inside the building where we agreed to meet and talk. I didn't expect us to meet this way.

"I... I thought it was a dream. H-He .." Rafael trailed off while looking at me with a sad face. His eyes were almost glaring at Xerxes but I just looked away while gripping the dress covering my belly.

"So?" Xerxes coldly replied. I closed my eyes in frustration after watching them have a staring contest. If stares could kill, then both of them would have been dead by now.

"W-What did y-you do to my sister?" I quickly opened my eyes after Rafael's words as he advance step by step towards our direction with furious eyes. Xerxes finally let go of my waist to tower over Rafael with a challenging look.

"What made you think why you're not rotting on the cells where you belong?" I gasped at Xerxes' cold reply while looking at my brother straight in the eyes. Xerxes is 3 inches taller than my little brother but Rafael remained in his composure while staring at him in surprise.

I didn't know whose side I'm on.

"Don't tell me-" Rafael quickly turned to me with pleading eyes, as if he wanted me to tell him what's going on. "H-How could I let this happen?" he murmured sadly.

The atmosphere was silent. All I can hear are Rafael's soft breathing and Xerxes' ragged exhale. But I know my little brother.

"Did you do it at your own will or did he force you?" Rafael questioned out of curiosity and pain, I can hear the sadness and pain in his voice while gripping his fists tightly.

"Forced? You think too much." Xerxes replied, earning a glare from Rafael. The burning anger appeared before Rafael's eyes as his jaw clenched along with his knuckles turning white.

"Who do you think you are?! Do you think your money can buy a human? How dare you use my sister for your sure?!" He burst out. I can see how his face turns red in anger while preventing himself from landing a punch somewhere or... someone.
