Chapter 4 My Dear Queen

"Hey, baby!" Sebestian cooed to her as he held Alexander. He and the other three members of his gang are at Allen's house and seem happy with how things are going.

Allen couldn't help but think that Sebestian still looked good. He always wore hand-made Italian suits, and in the years since she had last seen him, he had put on muscle, making his frame even taller. Her ex-husband's smell was in the air.

She sees that he gave Alexander to Braze, who was one of his trusted men.

Then he walked toward her while flipping his silver knives. Allen was worried about how much it would hurt when he used this on her.

Liam gripped the gun even tighter; he is the craziest among all of them. He wore black gloves so that he wouldn't leave tracks. After that, they would act it out as a sad suicide, with a broken woman killing herself because she was lonely.

Liam laughed in a low voice. "Hey, bro? I really want to have fun."

Sebestian put his hand up.

No. Allen tried hard to think. Not while her baby is right there.

Sebestian moved forward while running his hand along the table. His hand stopped on a picture frame. It was hidden in the shadows behind a vase.

Sebestian reached to take it out, and Allen knew what he would see. The only time they went on vacation, Allen paid for it with a bonus.

Sebestian spoke softly as he carefully set the picture back down. "Allen, how old is he?"

Allen didn't say anything because she felt like she was drowning in air.

As Sebestian got closer, Allen could feel Liam's gun drop. Sebestian then wrapped his hands around Allen's wrist, pushed her against the wall, and looked right into her eyes.

'He already knows everything.'

Allen's hands were wrapped around Sebestian's wrists, and she was trying very hard to push him away.

"I...I didn't...Seb...Seb...Please!" Allen begged, and her voice broke with pain.

Sebestian took a breath and put his hand on Allen's stomach, where he knew there was a thick scar from a c-section that had changed her once-perfect body.

"What's that?" Ask Liam. "What the hell is going on, boss? Let's just take your wife and teach her some lessons."

Sebestian stood up, and with his big hand, he pressed against Allen's soft stomach. He put his mouth on Allen's cheek. "Thank you, little one."

Allen held back a scream; her eyes grew wide, and her hands pushed against Sebestian's.

Sebestian's voice rose, full of happiness. "My wife didn't just turn against me and leave; she ran away, taking my child with her."

"No. No. No. I did not!" Allen screamed and leaned back against Sebestian, his nails digging into his skin and leaving red streaks.

Sebestian pressed his face against Allen's and blew on her lips. "Liar."

Allen could tell that she was getting scared and that her shortness of breath was making it hard for her to breathe.

Allen could hear her voice cracking in the cold air: "Please, don't kill me in front of my baby."

Alexander just woke up and started crying violently. As he pulled away from Braze's arms, he reached for his mother with his hands. Damon hugs the boy and tries to calm him down. He is the only one of them who is not crazy.

"Why the hell would I kill you, love?" Sebestian asked with a perfectly arched brow.

"Because I betrayed you," Allen was able to whisper.

"Of course you did," said Sebestian. "You run away from me and hide with my boy."

Sebestian leaned forward and put his lips against Allen's ear to whisper, "I've dreamed for over a decade about keeping you in a little locked room where I'm the only one with the key, chained by a collar studded with emeralds and rubies, wearing nothing but the faintest whisps of silk, and waiting for our every wish. You know that I own this whole country now, baby, just like I own you and our son."

"Congratulations!" was all Allen could say. "You got exactly what you always wanted."

Sebestian's face showed a flash of pain, and his voice rang out as he said, "For a long time, it was always what my gang and I wanted."

Allen shook her head, and her teeth bit at her lips until she could taste the blood.

Sebestian pushed his hips against Allen's, and his white teeth stood out against his tanned skin. "However, I didn't have everything, did I? A queen is one of the most important parts of a kingdom. And look at you, giving me such a wonderful child! Allen, I always knew you would."

Allen shook her head again, feeling sick to her stomach. "He doesn't belong to you!"

Sebestian took a step back, and Allen realized she had been screaming at the top of her voice but couldn't stop.

"Hand him over to me! Hand him over to me! Don't touch my baby!"

"Bring the kid inside, Damon. Now."

Allen shivered when she heard Sebestian order Liam.

She looked in the direction of her screaming child, who was being held by Damon.

Sebestian stood up straight and said, "Right. We have to leave."

Allen opens her eyes wide. "Give me just a moment to say goodbye to him."

"You're not getting it, baby," said Sebestian in a voice as smooth as silk. "I'm going with our son."

Allen stiffened, and fear took over her. "You're taking him, and you're leaving me here?"

Liam rolled his eyes and said, "No, my dear. Queen, you and our young master are both coming with us."

"But... but... I'm not his wife anymore." Allen said it in a low whisper.

There was a long moment of silence in the room. "I didn't sign a divorce paper, my love." Sebestians said it with a winning smirk.

Braze reached into his pocket and pulled a lighter out. "You can't smoke here," Allen said in a low voice.

Braze laughed and said, "No, Allen, it's to burn the house down."

This was the last thing Allen remembered before everything went black.
