Denial (boyxboy)

Chapter 27

Jeffrey's P.O.V.

Sky is passed out in the chair next to me. We're on my plane headed home. After his big confession, we're both drained and he just wanted to go home so here we are. God I can't believe that my fiance is a member of the Hjerte Dynasty. This family is renowned for their dealings in everything from textiles, to manufacturing. I mean they're intimidating. They are the richest power in the world. Predominently, they are known for their direct involvement in the arts like dance. Well that explains alot.

I looked over at my little man and ran my fingers through his hair. He sighed longingly edging himself closer to me. Everything that he's suffered at the hands of his family and he's still this amazing person. I don't care who he is. I'll never let him go. I can't be without him. I felt him stir. He looks at me and says, "Are we almost there?" and I responded, "No not yet but soon. Just rest okay." Then I took him into my arms and just held him in my lap while he slept.

He was scared of the unknown. Frankly so was I. I also needed to talk to Jacob so I asked Ellis to contact him before we left and request that he be in my condo when we got there.  He needs to know what's going on.  It's pretty early Monday morning when we finally arrive home.  Sky is still passed out so Ellis picked Sky up bridal style and put him to bed. 

Did I ever mention that although Ellis is in his early forties, he stands an erect 6'5''.  Quite an intimidating man with a very large soft spot for Sky.  I chuckle to myself.  Jacob is waiting for me in his pajamas no less.  He walks over to me and gives me a much needed bear hug.  He smiles and says, "So, are we engaged now?", to which I respond, "Yeah.  It was the single most romantic moment of my life."  I was about to fill him in on what Sky had revealed to me when Jacob says, "Hey, by the way, Hammish called me yesterday and was adamant about setting up a meeting with YOU.  What do you think he wants?" 

"Oh God...", I said as I slumped into the couch.  Ellis came out of my bedroom and I motioned for him to come over.  "Sky finished telling me his story.  Do you know who he is?  His real name is Skylar Hans Hjerte the VIII."  Jacob looked at me in complete shock and said, "How? Wait the one and only?  That can't be."  I said, "Think Jacob.  He's passing himself off as Sky Jarta.  Not too shabby huh!  But that doesn't matter because if there was any doubt look at his ass.  He carries his family crest on it.  I mean that fucking symbol is on everything.  Fuck his last name means heart in his damn language.  I can't believe I missed all of these clues.  Anyway he couldn't bring himself to refuse my proposal so he opted for telling me the truth.  Can you imagine, the most powerful man in the world trying to kill you?  According to Sky he's the only one.  His only child!"

Ellis turned around, went back into the bedroom and just sat down on the bed looking down at Sky and I knew in that moment that he would lay down his life for him just like he would for Jacob and me.  Looking back at Jacob I say, "What kind of a fucking monster do you have to be to be capable of doing what was done to him."  He looked at me in pain and said, "One like my father!"  He then got up, went into my bedroom and sat on the other side of Sky while he lay sleeping.  I was relieved to find that everyone was willing to protect him PERIOD.

I walked over to my bedroom and let Jacob know that for the next couple of days we were staying here.  I know why Hammish wants to meet with me and right now my instinct was to stay.  I'll deal with him in due time.
