My Evil Boy Toy

Chapter 229 – Let’s Break Up

"So, care to explain why you're here?" I asked, looking at Caden.

We went to my residence in Golden Oak. My mother owned the fourth floor when they were young, while the top floor, which our dad previously owned, now belonged to Lucas.

"Is there another reason why I'm here? Isn't it obvious that I came for you?" He answered.

After hearing nothing from him for years, I couldn't believe that he would show up in front of me like someone who had authority over me.

"What do you want from me?" I asked.

We were seated on the couch, and he was sitting across from me. I saw him frown, and somehow his face had a dark expression.

"Why do you have to ask? I came to get you."

"What? After twelve years, you'll come here to get me? Are you kidding me?" I exclaimed.

"Why would I joke about that? Look, I'm sorry for not contacting you for a long time. But that doesn't change anything; you are still my fiancé." He answered.

I thought I would be happy to see him, but why did it feel like something was missing? I've been waiting for him for a long time and couldn't forget the promises we made when we were kids. But why did it seem like he was so different from the kid back then?

"I want to break up with you. Let's call off the engagement." I said in a firm tone.

He didn't say a word and was glaring at me. His silver eyes were like daggers piercing through my heart.

When we were kids, he would always follow me wherever I was. He would always tell me that someday we would get married. He was the first boy I fell in love with.

After our engagement, we stayed in Flousia for two months more, then returned home. Before we parted ways, I remembered the sweetness of our first kiss. I didn't expect that he would actually kiss me at the age of six.

No one expected it. We were at the airport saying our goodbyes when he suddenly pulled and kissed me on the lips. Her mother, Aunt Peggy, scolded him because of that.

I was happy when we continued to communicate with each other. It was hard for me to be away from him. I felt like our connection was deeper than I could have imagined. He was already carved in my heart.

But when my grades started to fall, we got grounded and weren't allowed to contact each other by phone. I received emails from him every day. He would always ask what my day was and tell me stories about his life in the palace.

I was satisfied with just that. I held on to his promise that he would never change, but his emails became fewer and fewer until he stopped contacting me one day. 

I was deeply hurt. He didn't know that I cried whenever I checked my emails, only to get disappointed that I hadn't received one from him. 

I had a lot of suitors, but I rejected all of them, telling them that I was already engaged to someone else. Most of them didn't believe me. Rumors started circulating on campus that I have a make-believe boyfriend and that I was lying.

I wasn't allowed to tell the whole world that I was engaged to the crown prince of Flousia at the age of six. I couldn't even give them his name. My friends, Samantha, Cassy, and Lea, were the only ones who believed in me.

I begged my parents and Caden's parents to allow me to at least tell my friends about Caden. They agreed. I thought I would be satisfied with that, but it just hurt me even more.

They will ask me about him, but I could only tell them what kind of boy he was when we were little. I realized that I didn't know anything about my so-called fiancé.

Samantha would tell me that I shouldn't be feeling sad about it. I am the only daughter of Luke and Alora Wilson, the wealthiest and the most powerful clan in the country and abroad. Men should cower on my feet, that was what she told me.

I couldn't understand why he didn't contact me for two years. They said he was busy, but I knew my parents were lying to me.

On the day I turned eighteen, I was expecting that he would suddenly show up at my party dressed in his royal robe and kneel in front of me to ask for my hand in marriage. But it didn't happen. I heard Aunt Nina talking to someone on the phone, saying something about another girl who was always with Caden.

My heart was crushed on that day. I'd been waiting for someone who had already forgotten me. After that, I didn't ask about him and just lived my life like normal.

Looking at him now, I didn't know what I would feel towards him. He showed up telling me that he came for me without even giving me an explanation. 

I had enough of this. I would ask our parents to call off our engagement so I could move on and look for a better boyfriend.

"What did you say? You want to break up with me? Why? Because of that guy from last night? How long have you been cheating on me?" Caden asked in gritted teeth.

I was surprised when he said those words. Cheating? He's accusing me of cheating? The nerve of him.

"Yes. It's because of him. His name is Ace. I've been dating him for some time now, and I was just waiting for the right time to tell our parents that I wanted to break the engagement. It was just a stupid agreement between our parents anyway." I wasn't sure how I managed to say that to him without trembling.

I was about to say more when he suddenly grabbed my shoulders, pulling me to stand up.

"What did you just say? Do you think you could get away from me that easily? Dream on, Alira! I didn't get this far just to be dumped by someone like you!" He said in a dark expression.
