Chapter 53

--

Dezrail can't do anything but accept his fate as Serenity's husband. He didn't want Sirene to grow up without a whole family. Dezrail decided to go back where Serenity's parents are and talk to them.

"I accept the engagement Uncle, the earlier the better." He said.

Marcus' face became lightened because of what he heard from the young man. Dezrail face looks serious but Marcus ignored them.

"I am so happy to know that, son. Tomorrow we will do your engagement at RDM Hotel."

RDM hotel is one of Rent's properties. Dezrail didn't utter a word as they talk about their wedding.

The wedding will be held in the RDM function hall, not in the church. Dezrail knows an attorney to handle this thing.

"Your wedding will be held two months from now, is that okay?" Nari questioned Dezrail.

"It's fine with me Auntie, I will arrange my schedule before our wedding. My work is not a joke."

"I understand Dezrail, we'll take care of your wedding with Serenity so don't worry about it."

"All you have to do is relax and have some time with your family."

"I will do that until I finish fixing my schedule at work. I got to go first, thanks for your time."

"No worries Hijo,"

After Dezrail said goodbye, he went home to their condo. Dezrail finds Senri, Kyle, Jasper, and Kaizen playing cards.

"What's up, dude?" Kaizen greeted when he saw Dezrail enter their condo.

Dezrail sat down next to Senri before asking. "Where's Ashleigh?"

"Shopping with Sav and Sinji," Jasper answered.

"So, what happened?" All their attention turned to Dezrail after Senri asks that question.

Dezrail heaves a sigh as he clenches his hands as looks at them with a serious face.

"They match."

"Seriously?" Senri asked incredulously. "Who did run the test?"

"I entrusted it with Gun and the result is the same. You know I don't trust any hospitals here so I let Gun do the job."

"Wait, what were you two talking about?" Kaizen inquired after placing his card on the center table. They won't be able to play either because they're going to talk seriously.

"I have a daughter with Serenity and I did run a DNA test when Serenity appeared at HuPoFEL together with her child and Serenity told that child is mine. So I let Gun do his job and the result is a match."

"What the hell?"

"Oh! Fuck."

"This can't be. What about Ashleigh just in case?" Kyle asks Dezrail. Kyle was just asking and he doesn't have any grudge between Perth and his relationship with Ernaline.

"I wanted to talk to her that's why I came home after I talk to Serenity's parents. Our engagement party will be held tomorrow and I am already out of time to explain this with Ernaline."

Those four men didn't utter a word, analyzing Dezrail's situation but it was so hard to think.

"There's nothing we can do because we're already there but the question is, will Ernaline accept that you have a child and marry you to Serenity?"

Dezrail let out a sigh before he speaks. "I know she can understand it. I promised her that Serenity is no longer in my heart and Ernaline is the one I love the most. But what should I do if the child is involved?"

"That's hard, dude," Kaizen said.

"What's your plan now? We want to intervene but I know you can handle this thing. All we have to do is to support you but we were also worried at Ernaline's state on what she should feel about this?" Kyle said.

"Why it's so fast Dezrail? I thought you were against this engagement and we've already talked about it how you will decline this shit? Why do you change your mind all of a sudden?" Their attention turns to Senri who was still holding his cards.

"You fool Senri, the child is already involved in this," Jasper said.

"We can't be sure about the DNA test dude, and also Ernaline is not the one that Dezrail should face. What if her brother knows about this? You already know how Reiden Grei Montenegro works where his sister is involved. Are you ready for his wrath Dezrail? "

Dezrail didn't utter a word. Senri is right; Ernaline's reaction is not the one he should worry about so much. Reiden entrusted his sister to him and all he can do is to hurt Ernaline. He promised himself that he could do anything just to protect Ernaline, but on his own, he would not be able to protect the woman he loved.

"Think about it again Dezrail before you talked with Ernaline, I know she will understand it and Ernaline is not stupid enough. Cut this talk already, they will be coming."

They were about to ask who Senri was referring to when the main door of their condo opened. Sinji, Saviel, and Ernaline appeared as they happily talking with each other.

The five of them stood up before greeting the newcomers.

"Hey," Dezrail greeted his girlfriend as he approached her. Ernaline smiled at him.

"You’re still here?"

"I just came back, what did you buy?"

"Just food, I don't like long-sleeved clothes. I'm okay with just a t-shirt and jeans, Sinji insists on shopping so I came along."

"Can we talk later?" Dezrail asked his girlfriend hesitantly.

Ernaline looks at him with a confused look. "Did something happen?"

"No, not really. It's about Serenity."

Their companion simultaneously turns their gaze where Ernaline and Dezrail were talking.

"Did that crazy woman do something again?" Usisa is Saviel.

"Who's Serenity? Dezrail's mistress?" Sinji asked in surprise.

"Gaga. That's Dezrail's ex-girlfriend who's like a mad dog who's about to run out of men to chase after Dezrail, The man has a girlfriend already, and then she'll chase after him. She'll stress my bangs!"

"Come on; let's teach her a lesson,"

Ernaline shook her head as she reverted her gaze to Perth. "When do you want to talk? I'll be home later; big brother is sending me home because that's Mommy's order."

"We can talk before you go home. I'll just go to HuPoFEL and then I'll take you."

Dezrail and Ernaline didn't have time to talk to each other. Dezrail's work at HuPoFEL and his mall will be built all over the Philippines.

Today is the day that Serenity's engagement party will be held and he was so annoyed when Serenity called him? He was about to go to Ernaline's place but Serenity is too importunate.

Dezrail remains standing at the back where the mini stage has been set. He already saw his friends especially Ernaline, also he saw Reiden talking to a random businessman who was invited. And other HuPoFEL members are there too.

"Please welcome my daughter Serenity Ford and her soon-to-be husband Perth Dezrail Fynrell." A round of applause greeted Perth as they took the stage while Serenity's hand together with Sirene was anchored to his arm.

As they stand in front of the crow, Dezrail can't look at his girlfriend who was surprised on she saw her. Dezrail prayed that after this event he will talk to Ernaline.

Serenity took the microphone and makes a speech. Dezrail didn't give any attention to what the woman says.

All he can think is how he will face Reiden's wrath that was looking at him furiously. The whole family of Montenegro is also here because they took him in when he didn't know about HuPoFEL.

Dezrail snaps out of reality when he sees Ernaline pass out. He was about to go down when Serenity stops him from walking away.

"Let go of me Serenity," he ordered.

"Try to approach that woman. She won't just see our wedding."

Dezrail didn't feel any threat to what Serenity says. But that's how shocked he was when Saviel shouted.

"Holy shit! Ernaline, you're bleeding,"

Dezrail forces himself to let go of Serenity's grips on him. He runs as fast as he could where Ernaline is. Dezrail's world seemed to collapse when he saw the blood from Ernaline's thigh, she was having a miscarriage!

Dezrail was about to approach Ernaline when someone grabbed his shoulder so he looked at it, but to his surprise, it was Reiden and his fist raging into him. Reiden Grei punches him on his as the result of other witnesses shouting in shock.

Dezrail jumped to his feet and felt his brain shake.

"Don't you ever see your face in front of my sister again, Fynrell? I swear to God if something happened with my sister and her child, I will kill you!"

Dezrail could not speak because of what Reiden said. He could feel its anger. Did the word that Grei, his sister, and her child left out in Dezrail's mind?

Do Dezrail and Ernaline have a child?

"Reiden Grei help your sister," Reiden's father ordered before releasing Dezrail. Ernaline's father looks at Dezrail with a disappointed look before it approaches where Ernaline is.

Reiden picked up his sister and ran out of the hotel followed by their bandmates.

Gun approaches Dezrail where he was remain sitting. Senri also heard whispers around. Gun helped him to get up when Dezrail receives another punch, Dezrail saw his Uncle Marcus with a furious look on his face.

"You are a disgrace Perth Dezrail, what is your relationship with the young heiress Montenegro?" Marcus roared in front of Dezrail.

Dezrail's friends were on his back as he helps him again to get up.

"She's my girlfriend and she's bearing my child," Dezrail said with a low tone on his voice.

"I trusted you Dezrail, I hope it won't change your mind to get married to our daughter."

His Uncle Marcus left in front of them. The guests also left because of what they witnessed and they also did not want to be affected by the anger of Montenegro's especially the eldest son of the Montenegro family. Dezrail's mind was confused by what was happening.

"What are you planning to do?" Luther asked Dezrail.

"I don't know, all I want to do is to be by Ernaline's side but I know Reiden won't allow me to see her."

"Your situation is a mess, dude. But if I were you, I'll choose which one is heavier than mine. I doubt Serenity in the first place." Thud seconded.

"Let's talk about this at HuPoFEL, Dezrail. Fix yourself and we're going home."

Dezrail did nothing but follow his friends.

He wanted to know Ernaline's situation but it would be difficult for him especially since he knew the character of Reiden Grei Montenegro.
