"K-Kids? Grandpa, what does that mean?" I asked confused.
He smiled at me before answering. "You lost your memories after the incident, when your twin died, so you'll never remember him."
My eyes widened because of what he said.
I know, I know that I lost my memories when I was a kid. But it's surprising to know that Froze and I have known each other since the very beginning.
"Since we're still kids? H-How did it happen?" I will ask.
"He's there, when you and your twin were kidnapped. He was there." Those were the words that shocked me so much.
Froze was there? Is he one of the victims?
"He was kidnapped too?"
He shook his head and grin at me. "Why don't you ask him personally, Arrow? Deal with each other."
I didn't answer what he said, I quickly ran out to look for Froze.
I looked around the whole palace to find him, but I still couldn't see his figure.
I tried to peek into the training room but he wasn't in there either.
I paused for a moment to think of my room. He might be there, right. I know he's always inside my room to guard me.
I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw him inside my room. He immediately turned his gaze at me before smirking.
"You're not shouting at me right now, that's strange-Fuck!" he was cheap when I stoned him with my heels.
I threw stones at him on both sides causing him to frown and look at me in surprise.
"What the hell, baby? What are you--"
Her speech was interrupted by a series of tears.
"Why didn't you tell me, Froze?" I asked crying.
He ignored the reddened cheek, he quickly approached me to cover both my cheeks.
"Hey, beautiful, why are you crying? Tell me," he said confused.
Annoyed I slapped him on the chest before sobbing in his arm. "I hate you so much, Froze. Why didn't you tell me that it was all of my grandfather's plan all this time?"
He gently pulled me away from him to wipe the tears from my cheeks. "He told you about that?"
I nodded.
I saw how his eyes watered, he kissed my lips in a gentle way before kissing my forehead.
"I'm glad. I'm so fucking glad that you found out about it already, I can no longer bear those days that you always wanted to kick me out," he said in relief.
I smiled bitterly. "I'm s-sorry, I was just really hurt."
"I know, baby, I know. It's okay, and I'm sorry for hurting you."
"But Froze, please explain to me. How have we known each other since the beginning?" I asked confused.
He helped me sit up in bed before answering.
"I was there when those ass holes kidnapped you and your twin. They took my brother, Sebastian, too. But I followed the van you were riding in with Primo. We were just a kid but we knew that there's something wrong so I decided to enter that basement, but I told my youngest brother to leave and tell kuya Avenight what happened. I was the only one who persevered to find where they hid my kuya, I know he's capable of fighting alone, but these guys who took you are much stronger because they are a clan. And hell, kuya Sebastian was so young back then. " I just nodded while listening carefully to his story.
"I saw you and your twin, but you're inside the other room where brother Sebastian was being held. I thought you weren't among the kids they got because your twin wasn't tied to you, especially you, I saw you talking to that armed guy so I thought you're his child. Kuya Avenight and the other Elityians came, everyone was upset but I didn't see you two of your twins. Many died in their group, but I just found out that you guys are being held also when I saw how afraid you are. So even though there was still chaos inside, I chose to follow what those escaped idiots brought to you. They caught me, and they tied me inside the exact room with the two of you. I saw how hopeless you are, seeing your twin sister suffering. I tried to talk to you, and we came up with an idea, we tried escaping with your twin. We almost did it, baby. But they got your twin, and you love her so much so you decided to come with her. I don't know where you are anymore, you when I come back, I won't be able to ask for help. I accidentally saw a cellphone on the table and tried to call my brother. They came, baby, they came but it's too late, your twin was dead and I never had the chance to see you again. "I wiped the tears that dripped from her eyes.
He suffered also back then.
"I just found out that you're the princess of Korea, so I talked to your grandfather, Gunner. I told him not to let any guy around you, because I'm the only one you can marry eventually. I'm the only man in life I even need to use my surname for that, and Gunner promised me that thing since I saved you. " Something touched my heart after he told me everything.
He also had a hard time then, with me and my twin.
If I only knew, I wouldn't treat him like what I did for the past few days.
"I'm sorry, Froze," I tearfully promised.
I leaned on his chest which he immediately returned with a kiss on the forehead.
He combed my hair using his fingers which calmed me down.
"It's okay, baby, it's my fault too. Stop saying sorry, okay? I love you so much." He gently kissed my lips which I returned.
"I love you too," I whispered.
He pulled away from me to wipe away my tears. "I'm so glad that I can finally see your smiles, baby. Do you know how worried I was when I saw you bloody then?"
"W-What?" I asked in astonishment.
He looked at me with his cloudy eyes. "Yes, baby. I found your body first before I gave you to Victoria and Henry."
Froze
Froze angrily threw the handgun aside when he remembered how the man approached the one he loved the most.
He did everything to distance himself from Arrow, but after seeing that guy getting close to the woman he loves, it pissed him a big time.
He reminded the old man several times not to let Arrow get close to the men. But what the hell did he see the last time?
He felt his blood rush to his head, and he was about to explode with jealousy.
He doesn't like the feeling of being territorial and being possessive, but if it's because of Arrow, he'll gladly be an obsess man just like his brothers.
He turned violently in one direction when he heard a loud noise from there.
The man's eyes freely saw how a car slid down the precipice. He doesn't care at first, but he's not heartless afterall.
Though hot -headed he got up from the crash on the ground and headed for the steep precipice. He used his skills to reach the ground.
He frowned when he saw the smoke around, he knew, that in any moment, the car would explode.
Even though he wanted to leave because he was not connected to the person in that car, it was as if something was preventing him from leaving.
He went near the car to check who's inside it, but the smoke covered the whole area.
He quickly slammed the glass of the other door and opened the car.
His eyes widened when he saw a familiar face sitting on the driver's seat. He felt his body lose color when he saw the beautiful woman who was bloody.
He did it even faster than normal to get the woman out of the car.
He ran away from the car carrying the beloved woman. He easily climbed the clip with Arrow caged in his arms.
When he lowered it to the ground, fear immediately rose in his chest when he saw its bloody head.
"B-Baby, what happened? Shit! Shit!" he sighed as he hugged it.
He took his cellphone inside his pocket to call someone who can help him. He just clicked anyone who has Knights in it, whoever answered, he has no pake.
"Froze?"
He sighed weakly. "Fuck it, Xord, help me, please. Track my location now, I need a fucking plane!"
"You didn't bring your car with you? I'm on the way, wait up. I'll call Dagger also."
"No, I j-just walked all the way here. My Arrow is in danger, please. Make it faster, Xord," he said, almost begging.
"I know. Wait for us. Don't end the call."
Froze waited a few minutes for the brothers to arrive. He didn't even know how many times he kissed the woman because he was so worried.
"Please stay alive, my baby, stay alive."
He waited for atleast 5 minutes before his brothers arrive inside a helicopter.
"Froze! Come on!" calls his brother Dagger's attention.
He immediately lift Arrow and run all the way to ride the helicopter. Her heart was beating so hard, she didn't know how to calm down especially and her loved one was in danger.
When he arrived at the nearest Hospital, he immediately took Arrow inside to make sure he was safe.
God knows how worried he is, how scared he is after seeing Arrow in that situation.
The doctor came out from the surgery room.
Froze hurriedly ran to the doctor, with his brothers, to check the love of his life. "How's my baby?"
"We already removed the bullet inside her head. Right now, we just need a few more weeks for her response. If she didn't wake up, it would be impossible for her to wake up again." Froze's whole world almost collapsed at the sound.
He no longer noticed the doctor's departure. All he wanted to do is to beg the Creator, even if he killed many people, he's hoping that He'll hear his prayers.
"Froze, it's alright." Brother Xord patted him lightly.
He shook his head. "It's not, because it's my baby. It's not okay, Xord."
"Saellyn will arrive her soon, Froze. Tell her what you need, she'll help you," said her brother Dagger.
Froze did not respond to what the two brothers were saying.
He's so broken right now, this is just the second time they've approached a woman, but she's in danger so it doesn't make him happy.
"She'll recover soon, Froze. Rest for a while, don't make it hard for yourself," Xord said coldly.
"H-How can I calm and rest, Xord? If ever that this happens to Astreille, you'll never calm down, right?" Froze asked sharply.
"Ofcourse! Tangina. I'll kill whoever attempted to take my baby's life," was its quick reply.
Froze shook his head, his brothers are really pain in the ass, but sometimes helpful.
"Dagger!" At the same time they were distracted when a girl ran towards them.
It's Dagger's beautiful wife, Saellyn.
"Hey, baby, I'm sorry for calling you at this hour." Dagger immediately approached the wife to lead her.
"No, it's fine. I came all the way here to check on Froze. Buddy, are you okay?" it asked him.
Froze just nodded his head and looked at the man beside Saellyn. At the same time, Dagger looked at it.
"Who are you?" Froze asked the man who looked like a woman.
"He's gay, Froze, my manager when I was still an actress. He's good at keeping secrets, okay?" Saellyn accompanied the question.
Froze just nodded while still thinking about the girl inside that room. He can't calm down, Arrow is in danger, and even though his love is still strong, he's still nervous about the possible outcome of everything.
"What's our plan, Froze? We can't stay here for too long, and Arrow is a princess, those bastards who harmed her will find her soon," Dagger coldly suggested.
Froze thought deeply about what he heard. What is the best plan to hide his baby?
