Chapter 21 - Suspicion

Troy's POV

I entwined my hands nervously under Sienna's gaze. Meanwhile, Romeo was smirking at me, sitting on a vacant chair beside my desk.

"She is Rose. She and I... dated for a while when I went to visit Romeo in London." I confessed, looking at Sienna.

"By the way, congratulations, bro; finally, you found her." Romeo commented playfully and winked at me. I gave him a dirty look, gritting my teeth.

"Rose... Oh my... It is the same Rose that you mentioned at the cafe when you acted weird." Sienna said, confused.

"Yes. I thought it was her who I saw in the crowd, but I couldn't find her. So I don't know if it was really her or hallucination again." I explained sadly, looking away.

"Again?" She asked, puzzled.

I sighed and replied. "Let's say our breakup didn't affect me in a good way." I forced a smile and shrugged my shoulders as sadness filled my heart.

"Yes, I understand the reason why you changed after your trip. Why did you break up? I guess you loved her. Or you still love her." She asked, giving me a knowing look.

I sighed, leaning back against my seat, and replied. "I don't know. She left me without saying anything."

Suddenly, Romeo's phone rang. I rubbed my forehead, thinking about my conversation with Rose while Romeo was talking to his father on the phone.

Rose mentioned the messages and girlfriend, but I didn't have a girlfriend while we were dating; I broke up with my girlfriend a few months before I met her.

Oh, no! Romeo's messages to Sienna. Could Rose see them?

Fuck!

"Sorry, but I have to go to the company urgently." Romeo informed, interrupting my thoughts as he hung up his phone. "Baby, I will send the driver to pick you up." He added and placed a kiss on Sienna's forehead as he stood up.

"Fine. Don't worry." Sienna gave her a warm smile.

"Bro, we will talk about it later. You can't get rid of me easily. See you." He said playfully and winked at me. I nodded.

"So if she is back, what are you planning to do?" She asked as Romeo left, closing the door behind him. "I guess you still have feelings for her. Will you break up with Kate? Poor girl!" She added, concerned and breathed deeply, shaking her head.

I sighed, rubbing my neck, lost in my thoughts. I didn't know what to do. I couldn't think clearly; I felt so overwhelmed. I felt helpless. It didn't matter which decision I would take; in the end, there would be heartbroken people. On the other hand, I wasn't sure what would happen between Rose and me. My breakup with Kate would not help either, but I couldn't continue our relationship while having feelings for her sister. However, there was someone who came before all of these. And for that person, I would do everything. But I need to get answers. The only person who could clarify my suspicion was angry at me and didn't want to talk to me.

"It is more complicated than you think, Sienna." I breathed deeply and replied, entwining my hands tightly. She gave me a questioning look. "Rose... Rose is Kate's sister." I confessed, rubbing my neck.

Her eyes widened in shock and she mumbled. "What?"

I sighed and explained everything to her while she was listening to me attentively, her hand covering her mouth in astonishment.

"Oh my goodness! Is Alec your son?" She asked, bewildered.

"What made you think that?" I asked, trying to control my voice without looking at her, and bit my lower lip.

"He is a carbon copy of you, Troy. You can't deny it." She commented, giving me a knowing look.

"I guess so." I mumbled, running my hand through my hair, and sighed.

"What?!" My sister exclaimed, puzzled.

"I don't know. As you know Rose didn't say anything to me. I need to be sure before saying anything about it." I resumed.

She rolled her eyes. "Before yes, we thought it was a coincidence, but now you know the mommy is your ex, and you probably did naughty things with her. So the answer is clear. There is no need for a DNA test to understand that you are the baby daddy." Sienna stated and winked at me.

I breathed deeply and explained sadly. "I can not take any action without knowing. I don't want to get my hopes up and get disappointed again. It happened to me again and again while searching for Rose. Every time I thought I found her, it was a false alarm. So I don't want to get disappointed again."

Sienna gave me a compassionate look as she leaned towards me and placed her hand on top of my hand.

"I need to be sure. I have to talk to Rose about it." I said and breathed deeply.

"Do you want him to be yours?" She asked softly.

I couldn't hold myself and smiled warmly.

"So much." I admitted honestly, looking at my sister. "Alec is a cute, smart, caring child. I love him. I would only be proud of having a son like him." I added, giving her a warm smile.

"You will be a great father, Troy; I don't have any doubt about it, and I am sure he is yours." She stated, giving me a knowing look.

"I hope so. But..." I paused, breathing deeply. "But we were careful. Almost all the time we used protection." I confessed, ruffling my hair, and tried to remember if I forgot to use a condom or not.

"It could break or maybe you got caught in the moment and forgot to use one." Sienna commented nonchalantly and shrugged her shoulders. "Look, it happened to Romeo and me." She added softly and rubbed her baby bump affectionately.

I raised my eyebrow in amusement and said, giving her a knowing smirk. "Yes, sure, he forgot."

"What?!" She exclaimed, furrowing her eyebrows. "You think he did it purposely?!" She asked angrily while thinking.

"That bastard would never forget this kind of thing. Only when he doesn't want to remember. Especially after what happened in the past, I don't think he would forget about it. Even at that time, he swore that he was always careful." I stated sarcastically and winked at her.

"I will kill him! How dare he!" She snapped in frustration as she clenched her fist.

"Calm down, sis! I was just joking..."

"We are talking about Romeo. Of course he did it purposely! How couldn't I think about it?!" She cut me off angrily and gritted her teeth.

"Even if he did it purposely, look how happy you are! You look forward to my niece's arrival." I commented softly and gave her a warm smile.

"Yes, of course, I am happy. I am going to be a mother." She confirmed, smiling while stroking her belly. "But I will make that devil pay!" She added and grinned wickedly.

I smirked as I leaned back against my seat.

As far as I know my sister, Romeo is in trouble.

Serves him right!

***

I was examining my paperwork when Romeo barged in my office, looking furious. He slammed the door behind him and approached me, giving me a murderous look.

"I will kill you. Why did you tell Sienna about it?" He snapped in frustration as he leaned over my desk, resting his hands on the desk, looking into my eyes angrily.

"So I was right?! I knew as soon as you two announced the pregnancy. Sienna wanted to wait a little more." I commented and gave him a wide smirk.

"Yes, but you fucking bastard should not enlighten her!" He said angrily and sat down on a vacant seat beside my desk, frowning. "Look, how happy she is as well as our families. Instead of thanking me for making you an uncle, you did me wrong." He stated bitterly, giving me a dirty look. "My back still hurts; Sienna forced me to sleep on the couch. She even locked all guestrooms in the house and hid the keys." He pouted childishly.

"Serves you right!" I commented nonchalantly, pointing my finger at him.

"Why? What did I do now?" He frowned, annoyed.

"Because of you, Rose left me." I replied.

"What? What the hell? I didn't do anything!" He protested and ran his hand through his hair, frowning.

"She told me she saw messages which I sent to my so-called girlfriend. But as you know I didn't have any girlfriend when I came to see you in London." I explained and sighed sadly.

"What? And how is it related to me?" He asked, puzzled.

"Most probably, she read your messages to Sienna, and thought she was my girlfriend." I replied, rubbing my chin, and breathed deeply.

"What?! So because of it, you told Sienna about it. To get revenge? You fucking bastard! I didn't do it purposely, and you should delete them; it was my private life. Did you read them too?" He asked angrily, narrowing his eyes.

"Maybe." I gave him an arrogant smirk. He rolled his eyes in annoyance. I sighed and continued. "I forgot to delete them, and you forgot to delete them as well. And of course, I didn't read them; I didn't want to vomit."

"Ha ha ha! You are so funny." He mocked, rolling his eyes. I grinned. He breathed deeply and said, giving me an apologetic look. "I am sorry."
