The Prodigy Boy Is Actually A 25 Old Girl!?

Roxy stifled a nervous laugh to break the tension between her and her father. "So, you did threaten him." Roxy couldn't help but believe her father had threatened Declan, so he didn't want to help her this time.

"I didn't. Do you think I'd hand you over to a man who's afraid of me? Even Ezzo was never afraid of me even though he always complied with my orders."

"Then why didn't he help me?" muttered Roxy in a soft voice.

"Isn't that because he's eager to marry you? Roxy," Mr. Zouch sat on the chair after exhaling a long sigh. "I no longer have the power to protect you anymore. My movement is limited here, and besides, the court is still monitoring all my actions."

"Why?"

"You know why. The Hades organization was never welcomed in here."

"But no one knows you are Hades. And last time I checked, Alanach was here and roamed the city freely."

"It's because he had the facility to be an invisible man while he was here, but I didn't."

"Papa, aren't we living a new life here? What are you afraid of?"

"..." Mr. Zouch looked at his daughter sadly. "It's Rafetto. I'm worried he would hurt you like years ago."

"It's only because he believed I was Kaylee. And I provoked him that night, so… don't blame him, papa. He wouldn't hurt me once he knew I'm Roxanne."

Mr. Zouch knows that. But it was something else that worried him.

"It's not about Ezzo, isn't it? What is it, papa? How could I know if you didn't tell me anything? I'm not that clueless little girl. I need to know if something concerns me."

Bossley lowered his eyes while pondering whether he should tell his daughter or not.

"Has Declan told you that the plane crash wasn't an accident?"

"He did."

"We still haven't found the culprit until now."

"But he hadn't appeared since…." her sentence was cut short when she suddenly remembered some strange happenings around her when 'Kaylee' was still taking over her body.

She remembered that she was almost hit by iron from above when she was casually walking. She also recalled falling down the stairs, and she swore she felt someone push her on purpose.

Could it be…?

"Papa, you can't possibly think…."

"Whoever did it, this person is still after you, no matter if you are Roxy or Kaylee. I thought if we moved here and left the organization, that person wouldn't be after you. But my guess was wrong."

"But why? I think this guy's goal is to target me… or Kaylee, to force you to step down from Hades' post. Did you ever think maybe Conn Allanach was the culprit?"

"What?"

"I never liked him. The look he had when he looked at me was like someone who wanted to get rid of me."

Bossley Zouch chuckled at his daughter's comment. "If there is someone who supports you the most to become the next Hades, Conn is the only one. That's why he trained you hard and tightened all your space moves. He wanted to prepare you for a worthy successor, and everyone would do nothing but listen to you. He is someone you can trust with your life."

"It's hard to believe, but it doesn't matter now. He has become Hades, and I have lived a new life here. I will be fine."

"Roxy,"

"Besides, I wouldn't necessarily be much safer with Declan even if we weren't married. Unless you guys have a hidden deal, I don't know about."

"…"

"So you do have, don't you? What is it?"

"You think too much. There's nothing like a secret agreement between us. You can leave now before I change my mind."

Roxy knew her father was avoiding her question. She was sure that there was something her father was hiding. But right now, the most important thing was that her father had allowed her to postpone her marriage.

"Okay. I'll join with others. Thank you, papa."

Bossley looked at his daughter's back sadly. The truth is, Bossley had a hidden agenda about Roxy's marriage, but Declan didn't know it.

He wanted to use Roxy's marriage to Declan to distract the court from him. Declan Black, especially Oscar Security, has received recognition from the secret military from the states, and they would not dare to touch anything that belongs to Declan.

If Roxy marries Declan, the secret military agents would automatically not disturb Roxy or Zouch's family. Moreover, they could secretly protect Roxy if the 'enemy' decided to take his other daughter.

***

That night when Roxy came home with Declan, Danielle texted her to check her email. Her assistant said something was interesting about one of the senders, and maybe Roxy would like to see it.

"How did you convince your father?" Declan was curious because, to his knowledge, Bossley was eager to get his daughter married to him even though he didn't know the reason.

"I had my own way. But did you guys make a deal I didn't know about?"

"What deal?" Declan looked confused, and Roxy felt the man wasn't lying to her.

"Never mind. Anyway, I need to check my mail. Dani said something was interesting about one of my fans."

The corner of Declan's lips twitched at that. "Female or male?"

"I need to check it first."

"Are you asking me to devour you now?"

A cute giggle escaped from her lips, and she wrapped Declan's neck in a teasing manner. "Don't be silly. My eyes are only on you, and after all, I'm just teasing you." Roxy tiptoed slightly to give Declan a quick peck on the lips.

Roxy knew Declan would want to deepen their kiss. Before the man could react, Roxy immediately let go of the man's neck and turned to get her laptop while humming cheerfully.

"…" that vixen girl… why are her reflexes getting so good?

Declan became more hopelessly fall in love with his beautiful yet mischief wife. He couldn't wait to claim her rightfully, and yet he needed to wait for two years.

Ugh! Now he regretted having agreed to the girl's request.
