The Prince Who Cannot Fall In Love & The Missing Heiress - Chapter 309

“Where’s Vega?” asked Aleksis as soon as she got to the penthouse. The beautiful woman entered through the front door and immediately approached her husband and father-in-law. They were sitting in the living room, contemplating while enjoying some brandy.

Then, Altair and Mischa were seen walking following her. Both of them looked very exhausted and dejected. Elios didn’t need to ask about the fate of Karl and Sophia. Mischa’s men must have taken care of both of them.

“Vega is in the room,” Elios said quietly. He tilted his chin toward the room at the end of the hall. “We better let her alone, Vega must be very depressed right now and she needs to think everything thoroughly.”

He stretched out his hand to reach Aleksis’ hand and pulled her body to sit beside him. The man’s face seemed to be filled with a deep sense of regret and sadness.

Aleksis stared at the room that Elios pointed out earlier and then took a deep breath. She then buried her face in her hands and burst into tears.

“Oh … my daughter … my poor daughter,” she cried despondently.

Elios even felt sadder when he saw his wife crying. He hugged Aleksis and tried to comfort her.

“She’s all right, don’t worry too much,” Elios whispered softly. “We’ve found her and Vega is safe with us.”

“But …” Aleksis sniffled. “She must be very disappointed and hurt.”

Elios understood what his wife meant. By now, Aleksis should have found out that the real mastermind behind her kidnapping was her own husband Ren, and Karl, his uncle.

“I think it’s better for her to find out the truth now before it’s too late,” said Elios, stroking his wife’s hair. “Vega still has a long life ahead of her and she can start everything over. We can help her to start her new life.”

“But, she must be broken-hearted and sad,” said Aleksis in a weak voice. “How would she accept everything? She won’t be able to forget this incident forever.”

As a member of the Alchemists who could live for hundreds of years, Vega’s grief would certainly continue to haunt her for the rest of her life.

She would never be able to forget this. It would take her a very long time to heal her wounded heart. No parents would be able to bear the pain when they see their beloved child suffer.

This was the feeling that Vega’s parents were currently experiencing. Especially Elios, because he knew he was partly responsible for what happened to his daughter. If it wasn’t for his past sins, then Vega wouldn’t have been the victim.

“What about Ren?” asked Altair, his face was now filled with anger. He really hated the man who had made his sister suffer. Just like Lauriel, if the decision was up to him, then Altair would choose to kill anyone involved.

However, since Vega was the one who suffered the most, they had to leave it up to the girl to make the decision.

“Ren is not dead yet, he only passed out. But I will give him an antidote so he won’t die so easily,” said Lauriel. “Even death is too easy punishment for him.”

Everyone in the room agreed. No one liked Ren after knowing the crimes he had committed to Vega. After all, Vega was the only daughter in their family and she was loved very much by everyone.

There was no way they could forgive everything that Ren had done to Vega. So, whoever had hurt Vega was the same as hurting her whole family.

“What should we do then?” asked Aleksis nervously.

“We can only wait,” Elios said quietly. “Give Vega some time. I’ve told her that the decision is in her hands. We will do whatever she decides.”

Aleksis was stunned to hear that. “Even if she decided to forgive Ren and come back to him?”

The woman’s face looked shocked.

“Yes, even if Vega decided to forgive Ren and come back to him, we must respect her decision,” Elios said firmly.

“But you know well that people who are in love can’t think straight most of the time,” said Aleksis.

She couldn’t accept Ren’s treatment of her daughter, even though her son-in-law had repeatedly apologized to Vega. Aleksis didn’t want Vega to return to the man who had ruined her life.

The woman bit her lip and cried softly. “Maybe if they still have children together…I can understand that kind of decision. But I don’t want Vega to come back to Ren…Vega has suffered enough.”

Mischa, who had only been watching the Linden family talking, couldn’t contribute anything. After all, he was not a family member. He was just Elios’s foster son who had accumulated a huge debt of gratitude to him.

He also wanted to see Vega happy and he was angry with Ren and Karl for what they did to Vega. Deep within his heart, he really hoped that Vega would not come back to Ren.

However, he agreed with Elios because he knew he couldn’t do anything to change her decision and his opinion didn’t matter. The handsome man could only take a deep breath and walk out onto the terrace. He wanted to get some fresh air and calm himself.

The commotion at the airport was enough to tire him emotionally. He had lived as a civilian for a long time, managing RMI’s business and not being involved in the adrenaline-inducing stressful event.

The last one was in France when Vega was kidnapped and he was detained by the kidnappers. During that time, he had to witness Lisa being killed before his eyes.

Same thing as the incident earlier today. It was also related to Vega. Mischa must defuse the bomb that was activated by the villain who kidnapped Vega and was about to kill himself and everyone around him.

Today was very tense and exhausting.

Mischa walked into the small garden beside the pool and sat on a wooden bench. It was already getting cold outside, but he didn’t care. Instead, his burning head slowly felt comfortable when his body was hit by the cold air.

The man then closed his eyes and tried to erase the entire image of events this afternoon from his mind. A few minutes after he managed to defuse the bomb, Karl died, bathed in his own blood.

Sophia screamed incessantly as Mischa’s men take them both and lock them up in a secret place. Elios ordered them to keep Karl’s body and give Ren a chance to say goodbye. Meanwhile, Sophia would await the punishment from Caspar and Lauriel.

Now, they were just waiting for Vega’s decision so that they knew what they should do with Ren. If Vega wanted to punish him, Ren would immediately follow his uncle to hell and pay for what they did to the girl.

However, if Vega decided to forgive Ren…and come back to him, then Mischa must be able to accept Ren into their family.

He must accept the fact that the person responsible for killing Lisa would now be the son-in-law of his foster father whom he respected so much.

If that happened… then Mischa wouldn’t be able to be a part of this family anymore.

He respected Elios very much, he also loved Elios’s family, but he couldn’t bring himself to come to their family events if Ren would be there.
