Forgotten Wife: Let the Traitors Kneel Down by Patricia Maradiaga

Chapter 155

CHAPTER 162: SHE IS AND WILL BE MY ONLY WIFE

Alessandro gave her a soft kiss on the lips and a strong hug, both of them stayed that way for a minute, feeling

each other's soft breathing and heartbeats, he ran his hand through Abril’s curls tenderly and said to her.

You're not alone anymore Abril, I'm with you. She saw total sincerity in his beautiful green eyes, she took his

hand, brought it close to her cheek and answered.

I know, it’s just that these days so many things have happened, I'm afraid of what will come, I'm afraid of losing

you Lessan.

In reality Alessandro was also afraid, afraid of losing her, it seemed that everyone had joined together to want to

separate her from his side, he was afraid of losing those he loved again at the hands of King Venobich. He took

April's face in his hands, put his forehead to April's and looked her directly in the eyes and answered.

I'm afraid too and I'm glad to feel it, because if | wasn’t | would be a reckless fool, Aby being afraid is not bad,

fear is the only thing that stops us from being reckless, just never let fear control you.

The sound of the door interrupted them, it was Gabriel, he poked his head through the door, seeing April next to

the king he apologized, sorry to interrupt his majesty, Duke Vampel is already here. Alessandro looked at April,

he hated the idea of having to separate from her, especially since she had been the one who had gone to look

for him, something she never did. April separated from Alessandro and said to him.

_ You must be very busy, it would be best if | left. Alessandro wanted to say no, that he would stay and refuse to

attend to Duke Vampel. But he knew that if he didn’t receive him, he would cause a great uproar, he pulled her

hand closer to him again, gave her a soft kiss on the lips and said.

_ When | finish talking to the duke | will cto see you.

If you are very busy you do not have to do that, I will wait until night comes. No matter how busy Aby is, | will

always have tfor you. Alessandro turned to Gabriel and said. You can let him in now.

Gabriel left the office and let the duke in, when he entered Duke Vampel bowed to Alessandro and greeted his

majesty the king.

Then he greeted April, his greeting was somewhat rude towards April since he did not recognize her as queen.

Greetings to Princess April.

Alessandro was annoyed by the way Duke Vampel referred to April. She is my wife, my queen, do you refuse to

recognize her as such? The duke, seeing the growing anger in the king's gaze, had no choice but to lower his

head to April and apologize. I'm sorry your majesty, | was wrong, | apologize if | offended you. She accepted his

apology.

April did not like the way Duke Vampel looked at her, she just wanted to get out of that room as soon as possible.

_ I'm leaving soon, Alessandro answered in response before April left the room. Once alone, he told the duke that

if he is rude to my wife again, rest assured that your head will no longer be attached to your neck. She is and will

be my only wife.

Don’t worry, Your Majesty. That won't happen again. You better hope so. Alessandro took his place behind his

desk and, his voice still full of anger, he asked. - What business does the duke have withthat he insists so

much on having an audience with me?

_ I have cto ask for clemency for my daughter Victoria, Your Majesty. Since you banned her from entering

the palace, she has been very depressed.

No, | don’t want to see her in the palace. She was rude to my wife and tried to attack her.

But Your Majesty...

| was clement with her. Otherwise, she wouldn't be alive. You know that the price to pay for attacking a member

of the royal family is death.

I know your majesty, but | just want you to think about the future of this kingdom, another war will soon begin

and your majesty still does not have an heir.

That does not matter to you.

| think that as a noble it is something that matters to me, your majesty has been married for four years and

there is still no news about an heir, it is obvious that the queen cannot give you children, that is why you must

take another wife and...

Alessandro slammed his fist hard on the desk with his open palms, scaring Duke Vampel and said to him with an

intense look full of anger, shut your mouth, if you say one more word | will tear out your tongue and feed it to

the dogs, April is the only wife | will have, | do not care that you are an influential person duke, neither you nor

anyone will forceto take another wife and whoever mentions it again will have to pay the price that entails.

The duke, seeing the king so determined, realized that continuing to insist would be crazy, he apologized, made

an exaggerated bow and said to him.

I sincerely apologize if I have offended your majesty, | was only thinking about what would be best for the

kingdom.

If that was all you had to say you can leave now. Yes, excusefor stealing your majesty’s valuable time.

Before getting up, the duke dropped a seed under the king's desk.

Your majesty dismissed me.

Duke Vampel’s purpose had never been to go talk to his majesty to accept his daughter as his second wife, that

had only been an excuse to get into the king's office to be able to leave a seed of darkness, something he had

been ordered to do.

As he left the office, Gabriel thought he saw the duke smiling. He entered the office shortly after and asked.

- What did the duke want? To remove the prohibition that | put on his daughter that she cannot enter the palace,

but I told him that I will never allow that woman to set foot in this palace again, she dared to try to harm April, |

will never forgive her for that.

- If 1 didn’t get what | wanted why did she seem so happy? Gabriel wondered out loud. Happy? Yes, | thought he

was smiling.

You must have seen wrong. Alessandro stood up. I'll take the rest of the day, take care of the paperwork. Gabriel

seeing the mountain of papers on the king's desk asked. Do | have to take care of all that? Yes. Any objections?

Will she hearif | say yes? No, you'll still have to take care of the paperwork. She is and will be my only wife.

Alessandro headed for the door and before leaving said. Make sure you finish all that today. What? Alessandro

didn’t answer, he left the room, Gabriel seeing the mountain of papers on the desk cursed the king, with all that

work he would have to stay working all night.

Damn tyrant, he thinks that only he has a wife, she screamed as she sat on the king's chair and began to take

care of that mountain of papers with tears in her eyes, that would be another night in which she would not be

able to return hwith her family.
