Arranged to the Mafia King

25. A Rat is Caught By the King

"We have a rat."

Gideon set his eyes on me, only for me to just eat in front of him. That's what I've been doing lately and what he's having me do lately, eat.

"When you say rat do you mean the animal or...?"

"No, the snitch rat, the betrayer rat - that kind of rat. Recently, well it's not really recent, but some of the members of the group have gotten ratted out on. On too many occasions has one person in particular ratted someone out. It's just become apparent to me that this is too sporadic to ignore. I can't have snitches in the group now can I?" He questioned me at the end, and I shrugged.

"I guess."

"You guess? Rats ruin plans and can't seem to keep their mouthes shut to save their lives. I can't have that for my upcoming child." He said quickly, and I knew that was the reason instantly.

Recently he's been going crazy over perfecting his own mafia group despite the fact that it's fine. They all respect him a lot and I don't think there'll be a problem for him.

Especially when a baby comes, I'm not exactly worried about anything happening.

"You act like all's going to go hectic when the baby is born." I snort, only for Gideon to gasp at my words.

"Trust me, it will. When I was born my father killed anyone who threatened my safety. Which came down to my mother being murdered, but she was also an enemy too... I don't want to kill anyone so I'm trying to do this all before the baby gets here. The last thing I need is someone threatening their safety because once I have an heir, the King legacy lives on. My enemies hate such a thing... That's why I need to strengthen my truces as well as create more of said truce." He explained to me in a very ordered manner.

It still baffled me that he wasn't broken about his father murdering his mother. Because I'd go insane if I was him. Guess that tells me enough about him.

He just has thick skin. Very thick skin...especially after he's handled me for all this time. I'm the bad guy... Not him, I've come to realize that now.

Except I feel like it was all necessary. Not sure why, but it was.

"I see... Shouldn't I be worried?" I question him, and he just looks at me as if that was a stupid question.

"You should not be worried. Because no one is else is going to find out you're pregnant." He says confidently, and I couldn't help but divert my eyes off to the side. "Judging on your reaction, something tells me someone else knows."

"Yeah, Kenji. He was there when I peed on the damn stick. He was insisting I was pregnant, so he knew first. I told him not to tell you-."

"Yes, but it's Kenji. He told somebody because he isn't capable of keeping secrets. He never was." Gideon hissed, a sigh leaving his lips. I could tell that that annoyed him.

Except Kenji is easier to talk to about these things. Gideon is...I don't even know. He makes me nervous. I want to tell him things as easily as I tell Kenji, but it frightens me. I know I'll only get closer to him and I do want that... Just scares me a little.

Obviously I'm in this predicament of having his child, so I must not be that fearful. Still, it just frightens me in ways I can't explain.

"I'm curious." I say suddenly, and he waits for me to tell him what my curiosity was. "What sex do you want?"

I notice him blink a couple of times, and a shy smile comes to his face. Suddenly I found myself watching this cute scene. He truly seemed nervous to answer the question and he bit his lip. Shrugging off and looking back at me.
