My 419 Nightmare

57: It's Him! Is it?

"Wow."

"Is this for real?"

"Love, you think he's gonna lie about something so...?"

"Perplexing?"

"Sinister?"

"Ominuos?"

"Guys, right now is not the time to exchange who's got the best vocabulary, okay?"

The angel's friends and their partners immediately shut down, smiling sheepishly.

"Sorry, P' Kit. But if what you are telling is true, then... do you have any idea who's your father is?"

----------

Kit's POV

I gave Wayo a small shake of head, while sitting behind my table in my office. I've update my friends on everything that happen upstairs, and as I am, they're all shocked.

I'm breaking the news alone to them as Ming said he wants to do some digging on his own. As for the Queen, let just say we are working towards the same goal, albeit separately.

"Dada's empire is the most powerful in Thailand due to his connection. People are scared of him. To be honest I can't even think of one single person that he would chose to... I mean... He didn't even arrange any marriage for his own daughter back then because he thinks none of her suitors are good enough."

"Yeah, I've heard of that too. Por said he is one of your mother's suitors back then. But before my grandfather can send a proposal, he knock up Mae."

"Ew, P' Pha, too much information."

My mouth involuntarily curve upwards, watching the little one getting embarrassed with his lover's antic.

"Kit, can't you really think of anyone? Anyone that have been in your life, any close one to your grandfather, as long as you can remember?"

"Forth, do you think that person is staying close to him?"

"Love, think. The Elder Inochtare is obsessed and somewhat paranoid. Like Ming said, he can't just pick some random guy. That person must be someone he trust. Someone that he knows won't betray him."

Four pairs of eyes turn towards me. To be honest, this question has been lodging in my mind since the Queen left.

The person that have stayed close by my side, kept by Dada's side, as long as I can remember?

There's only one, but... I look nothing like him...

I think.

Uncle Jac.

----------

The Queen's POV

"Jac."

"Mistress?"

"Find me the whole information about Jac, my father's right hand man."

"Mistress, do you really think..."

I have no idea what to think. I thought I have cleaned everything up. I thought I have killed the man who defiled me. I stay away from my own son, thinking that he is just nothing but a pawn in my father's game. I want nothing to do with him, being so mad with my father for forcing me into this.

I cultivated on my my own, finally succeed in having my own empire, cutting any resources from that said father so he can no longer have anything on me.

I've climbed the mountain so high, that I can't even remember what the foot looks like and I came back to this?

It seems like every step that I took before were all paved up by my father?

"You heard what that boy said. Jac was just a meagre accountant back then when all of the sudden he was promoted as father's immediate confidante."

"But mistress, he doesn't look like Young Master Kittinan at all."

He doesn't? I lean back, closing my eyes, trying to picture his face. It has been a while since I last met him so his image is a bit vague. In my memory, the guys seems to be a timid one, always slouching, eyes downcast.

Is he really my Kittinan's father? The father of the underground demon? Recalling his features back then, makes me double back on my thought.

"Don't worry, Mistress. Even if he's not the one that you're looking for, we can still drill him for any clue. After all, he has been working with Master for a long time."

Ming's POV

"Do you know?"

Right now at the same rooftop cafe, meeting with the same person as before, my father.

"Know what?"

"That the girl is an imposter?"

His face is as still as water on an undisturbed lake. How I wish to throw a boulder on that lake is beyond me.

"Well, based on the DNA report, provided by our own facility, I can say that girl is the real deal. Plus, surely you know how I have gone to a great length to find you someone as similar to your little lover, for your own sake. After all, as the light goes out, none of that even matters, right?"

So he does know, and he doesn't care? What benefit he's going to get from the Innochtare that he's willingly agrees to this?

"So, how are you going to get me married to her then? Willingly, if I may add, father?"

"Well, yes. I need to give some sort of... motivation, don't I? Don't worry son, I'll think of something. I'm pretty sure when the time comes, you will willingly walk down the aisle."

I stare at my father, as blankly as I could. I knew he have something up his sleeves so I can't let him think that he can intimidate me by it.

What he's going to do? Kidnap my angel to force me? But my wedding is supposed to be after angel's wedding. So what exactly...

"Now, go on. Enjoy what time you have left with your little lover while I, your father, will arrange everything for you. How's lake side wedding sounds like?"

Standing up, I curve a smile, thinking about something.

"For an imposter like her and a lousy parent like you, a fake man-made lake is perfect. By for my angel, we need something a little bit more pure. Not that you can understand it, don't you, Mr. Dacaipanya?"

Yes, my angel deserve something better. As I walk away from the establishment, I set aside a part of my mind on planning my own wedding.

As the Audi drives away from the said cafe, a pair of black low key BMW motorbikes follows at a distance. It seems like they have learn from their past mistake on following their target by car.

The Devil just smirk upon eyeing his tail, leisurely driving at a snail space. Well, the Bangkok's traffic during the 2nd half of the day is always busy.

Turning left, turning right, going straight, this bikes are still following the dark blue Audi, anxious to keep at a proper distance, unwilling to be found out.

The Devil himself has his own plan.

"Innitiate the Plan Gremlin."

"Right now, Sir? It was not completely ready."

"Go ahead."

"Yes, Sir."

Now... The Devil is willing to let the world burn and help his Angel soared his wings.
