Mr. Dimitri's Toy
Revenge

[Dimitri’s POV]

The sound of singing birds began to sound, the sun had risen. All night I sat by Dwayne's bed with both hands holding my head. Fear and worry abound in it.

Chloe's just a few steps away from me. The night after I left her to give her some thought time, I picked Dwayne up from Draven's room and put him to sleep in his own room.

What decision will Chloe make? There's no way he could have killed me because it's the same as killing the father of his son. If he wanted to split up and not come back to Rudolmuv? Ah, but Dwayne's house is over there. This kid will ask why his mom didn't come home.

What is Chloe doing? I got up from my seat and walked towards the door that connected these two rooms. My hand was already on the doorknob, but I broke the intention to open it.

“Mama...” whine Dwayne from mattress. When she woke up, she looked for her mother. He would usually call me.

I was immediately beside him. “Good morning, peanut.”

“Morning, dad. Dwayne wants to find mama..,” he rubbed his eyes and raised both his hands up to be carried.

“Come on big boy. We're looking for mama ya.” I lifted him up from the bed and walked towards the door I did not open.

THE CZECH!

The door was open but there was no one inside.

“Chloe?”

There's no answer. I tried to quell the panic, but Dwayne could feel my feelings.

“Mama? Mama where?” whine, “I want mamaaa.”.

“Sshh, maybe mom is downstairs. We're down to look for it yes.”

Passing through Edric's room, I looked for him there. Edric was not in his room either. I asked the waiter in the hall to clean the large flower vase, but he did not see Miss Eliza either.

It was early in the morning and there was not much activity in the Navarre Palace. Dwayne is crying now. Usually he is not this crybaby if left behind. I walked into the park, and it distracted Dwayne a little.

After walking for a while, I caught two figures sitting on one of the garden chairs overlooking the sea. Chloe and Edric. They felt my presence, Edric stood up first while Chloe silently looked back.

“Again, Dwayne. Already awake huh?” Edric smiled at his granddaughter, then glanced at Chloe.

What are they talking about?

“Mama.” Dwayne pointed at Chloe and it made her get out of the chair and turn her head.

He smiled, very smooth and unimpressed forced. He carried Dwayne without looking me in the eye, and then he walked a bit away while listening to Dwayne's chattering pointing towards the tree.

Edric cleared his throat, taking my eyes off Chloe.

“Dimitri, we so go home today?”

“Ya, the ship will leave this afternoon.”

Edric looked over for a moment and then cleared his throat again. “Begini, after talking about it with Chloe, she doesn't want to go home just yet. He asked us all to go home first. But he wants Dwayne to come with him.”

I hardened my jaw. “There may be me leaving him, Edric. You guys go home first today. I'll solve my problem with Chloe.”

“You're lucky because you're Dwayne's father. Otherwise, I've cut your body into pieces!”

“Chloe is my wife. I'll solve my own household problems.” Dimitri slightly lowered his head, and walked towards Chloe.

“Edric says you don't want to go home today?” my many.

When Chloe did not answer, Dwayne scrunched her forehead. “Why don't you want to go home?”

“But I also want papa.”

The smile on Chloe's face instantly disappeared. I want to hold her in a tight embrace. I know he's holding out not to run from my side because there's Dwayne.

“Papa also did not come home. The three of us will have fun here.”

Chloe looked at me with an expression of disbelief. Just this time he looked at me and I gave him a smile. It seems to make him angry.

Dwayne clapped both of his palms. “Yaaayy!! Holiday.”

We spent the morning walking in the park. It looked like a harmonious little family, when there was a storm so big that it hit our household.

Draven, Adreana and Edric had sailed home this afternoon. King Lewis is not against Chloe's desire to stay a few more days in his palace. He seems to know something's going on between me and my wife.

At dinner, I thought Chloe wouldn't come down. But he joined the long and large dining table, sat beside King Lewis and talked to him all night. I clenched my hand so tightly. Refrain from pulling Chloe away and hide her from Lewis.

Chloe laughed and held Lewis' arm. That’s it! I stood up and all eyes were on me.

“Why, Dimitri? You need something?” ask Chloe.

Oh, I got it. It's his game to torture me.

“It's okay, my wife. I just want to stretch my legs.”

I sat back down and continued the bland food on my tongue.

After the dinner, I breathed a sigh of relief because Chloe refused Lewis's invitation to enjoy the snacks and shows in the other room. He said he wanted to accompany Dwayne upstairs.

His hand was on my arm and we walked up, when no one was around, he took his hand off and disappeared from my side.

I took a long breath. At least Chloe was willing to pretend that our relationship was fine in front of others, and most of all, in front of Dwayne.

If he wanted to split up, he would have said it. I still have hope! In that spirit, I followed Chloe to Dwayne's room.

After satisfied playing and sleepy, he asked his parents to sleep on his left and right side, then fell asleep quickly.

Chloe kissed her forehead and disappeared before I could open my mouth to say a word. I made sure that Dwayne's blanket had covered his entire body, didn't close the window too tightly for the night breeze to enter, and then opened the door connecting our room.

I think I'll find Chloe there. But he doesn't exist. I searched for him throughout the palace which was already silent from activity. Only one room was still lit by candlelight. It was a room where there was a show going on.

There was no more activity in it but what I saw there opened my eyes wide, not believing what I saw.

“Chloe...” I called her name.

Chloe sat on top of a man and faced the door, I could only see his back but I knew who it was without having to see his face. Chloe lifted her head and turned her lips from the rest of the red liquid that was stuck. The smell of human blood filled the entire room.

“Oh, hi my husband.”
