The Bigshot Married Himself to the Heiress

Adrian knows something about Night Owl, but not much. Thinking about it, now that Adrian has come to see Kiya, it must be because Kiya can help.

Paige asked, "Brother, what do you need Kiya to do?"

Since Paige already knew, Adrian didn’t need to hide it from her, "She might be in the Abyanabad Palace, but I can’t get in, so I’m here to ask Kiya for help."

Paige looked at Kiya, her gaze sharp, "Did you help?"

"I did, I sent her to find Minnie."

Paige was worried, "Call Minnie and tell her yourself. I’m afraid she won’t seriously help my brother."

"I’m already ’dead’."

"Are you refusing to help?"

Paige stared at Kiya, making Kiya feel pressured, "Of course I’ll help!"

If he dared to say no, Paige would get angry, and the consequences would be severe. He had finally made up with Paige and wouldn’t want to fight over this trivial matter.

"Brother, do you need Kiya to do anything else?"

"No more."

Paige thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "Let Kiya go back to Abyanabad with you."

Kiya was shocked, "How about you if I go back to Abyanabad?"

Paige said, "I’m going back to the Johnson Family!"

"Then I’ll go back to the Johnson Family too!" Kiya clung to Paige, his eyes resting on her belly, his little princess was about to be born, he didn’t want to leave.

Adrian said, "You’re about to give birth, just stay here peacefully. Curly is being taken care of by my mother-in-law."

"..."

"I should return to Abyanabad." Adrian looked at his sister, his gaze swept over her belly, apologetically saying, "You’re having a baby, I may not be able to visit you."

"Finding your sister-in-law is more important, it’s just having a baby, it’s no big deal."

"But you still need to be careful."

Adrian chatted with Paige a while longer, then left, without even eating breakfast.

...

The breakfast on the table had gone cold, Paige hadn’t touched it, and Kiya even less had the appetite.

"I knew you’d be like this, so I deliberately didn’t tell you."

Paige was preoccupied, Night Owl liked Sienna Johnson, now kidnapped her, how could he possibly let her return.

Kiya had someone reheat the food, forcing Paige to eat, she only ate a few bites and then vomited.

"Stop overthinking, sister-in-law will come back." Kiya handed her a cup of water after she finished vomiting, letting her rinse her mouth.

"What if she doesn’t come back?"

"Think positively, okay?"

Paige looked at Kiya, saying nothing, Kiya had a bad premonition, sure enough, he heard Paige say,

"You go back and continue being Sultan."

This time, Kiya said nothing.

Paige continued, "Being Sultan comes with great power, you go on being Sultan, this way you can help my brother."

"..."

"Kiya, he’s my real brother, we’ve relied on each other since childhood. My parents passed away early, it was my brother who raised me.

Seeing him like this now, how can I be at ease."

Kiya held her hand, his thumb gently caressing her hand’s back, after a while, he said without confidence, "What about you?"

Paige’s attitude was clear, "I’ll stay here for now."

"What about later?"

"We’ll talk about things later."

Kiya held Paige’s face with his hands, their eyes meeting, Kiya stared into her eyes, not letting her avoid, "Paige, you’ve never thought about coming back to the palace with me, have you?"

"..."

"Paige, tell me the truth?"

"When we got divorced back then, it was such a big affair, I’m a marked former wife, following you back will only make people laugh at you."

"I don’t fear being laughed at!" No one would dare mock the Sultan!

Thinking of the palace, Paige got a headache, since she left, she never thought of returning, that place suffocated her, she didn’t want to stay there a single moment.

"I don’t like it there, and your mother is there, you know my relationship with your mother isn’t good.

If I went back, you’d be caught between me and your mother, isn’t that awkward?"

"..."

"Go back alone, I’ll stay here with Dylan."

Kiya felt deflated, he’d worked so hard, thought finally her heart had returned to him, but when it mattered, he was the one abandoned.

When she left the Abyanabad Palace, left him, she never thought about coming back.

Back then, she suddenly changed her mind and agreed to be with him, it was only because she knew he wanted to kill that man, so she gave in.

Just gave in, the resentment in her heart never faded.

Kiya couldn’t help but wonder, if he had been lenient and hadn’t harbored killing intent for that man, hadn’t cornered her with no retreat, would they still be together?

Thinking this, Kiya’s heart felt sour, bitter, and anguished.

"Paige, do you love me?"

"If you love me, go on being Sultan!" Paige pressured.

"Answer me, do you love me?" Kiya tangled over this question, his gaze complex.

"Love." She avoided his gaze, spoke the word.

Kiya cupped her face, asked, "Look at my eyes and say it again."

Paige didn’t look, shoved him impatiently saying, "Stop bothering me?"

"You’re lying, look at you, when you say you love me, you don’t dare meet my eyes!...Paige, do you still love that man?"

Paige got angry too, "What do you want now? I’ve broken up with him, if you dare hurt him, I’ll never forgive you!"

"Paige, you don’t love me!" Kiya suddenly got up, knocking over the chair in his frustration, visibly disappointed, left the dining table.

Gavin saw Kiya suddenly storm out, startled, did they fight?

Since Paige got pregnant, they seemed to be doing well, never quarreled.

"Sultan, where are you going?"

"Don’t call me Sultan! I’m not the Sultan anymore! The Sultan is ’dead’." Kiya snapped.

Gavin looked innocent, he’d always called him the Sultan, how come suddenly today he couldn’t.

Kiya stormed out of the house, grabbing his fishing pole heading to the lake.

Gavin gingerly followed Kiya, "...Let me hold it."

Gavin cautiously took the fishing pole and bucket from Kiya’s hand, Kiya didn’t say anything.

Arriving at the lake, sitting at the usual fishing spot, a frazzled Kiya started fishing.

An hour passed without catching a single fish.

"Damn it, even the fish are bullying me today."

Gavin advised, "Why don’t we stop fishing?"

Kiya said nothing, put on bait again, cast the hook into the lake, he wasn’t ready to face that merciless woman.
