The Prisoner's Wife Mr. Arogan

Chapter 39: The Past

Michael's question about Laura's current status certainly surprised Argon. However, the man had guessed that a secret sooner or later should still be opened at the right time. After all, his son is now difficult to mature and understand the situation that is happening at this time. It was time for him to explain what had really happened in the past as well as now.

"Laura is not your real sister. But he's Papa's real son."

Argon's answer was like a lightning strike to Michael. He widened his eyes until it was perfectly rounded. Confusion of course penetrated within him at that very moment. "Ma–you mean, Papa?"

"Papa hope you understand what Papa is doing. It doesn't matter if you hate Papa. But you also deserve to know the real facts about our family, Mich." For a moment Argon fell silent, his memory returning to his youth. When he was still a small child and a delinquent who was brought into a famous family.

Argon Wilson was named, an adopted son in the Wilson family who could only follow the surname of the adoptive mother Elizabeth Wilson. The family is not an ordinary family because it has a great single heir, but it is not in line with the ideals of the family after the divorce of both parents.

Their son—Aragon Wilson— chose to leave the family and followed his father and also changed his name to Aragon Bannerick, after his father's name.

"Ben, are you sure you want to do this?" ask Argon who was a teenager at that time.

"I'm not a filial child like you. You can patiently enjoy Mom's restraint. But, not with me," Aragon said to his brother at the time. "Although we are not siblings. But I hope you're happy here. We'll be brothers now and forever."

Aragon went to follow in the footsteps of the father who lived freely, while Argon stayed at home to be a doll that his adoptive mother taught firmly. To achieve one goal, to become a hereditary military family of the woman's family.

Argon, who had only been an adopted child, certainly could not refuse his mother's request. A sense of indebtedness made him obedient, but secretly between Argon and Aragon still meet each other and even spend time together, as well as sharing grievances. Although their future is different.

Until they grow up, Aragon who incidentally is a player, chose to stop and love one woman and marry her only with the company of Argon at that time. Because the father is dead and he does not want his mother to interfere with his love problems.

The life of Aragon went well, even blessed with a son who was none other than Michael. However, the problems that occur in the mafia world are not trivial and end with the death of an Aragon due to James Whale.

"You must take good care of my wife and children! I leave them to you" said Aragon withstanding his pain.

"No! You'll be safe. You will also be a happy family as you wish! Don't talk so much!" Argon painstakingly tried to save Aragon when it was badly wounded at the time. However, it was all too late and the man took his last breath beside his brother.

However, it turns out that the enemy of Aragon is not easy to deal with. Even trying to find out who the family of the man and find out the fact that Aragon is one of the children of a famous family.

With a heavy heart Argon who was then related to Sanca chose to hide this reality. Even the fact that he takes care of his wife and nephew. He did it just to save their lives. Neither the Wilson family nor his brother James Whale's enemies.

That fact was of course exploited by Elizabeth to threaten Argon, separating him from the unapproved lover. He asks Argon to choose between his son and marry his mother's chosen woman or choose Sanca who was then just a lover to him and throw Michael away.

Of course it was a tough choice for Argon. Sanca, who knows her story, will never get the blessing, chooses to leave and Argon is married to Lady—the woman chosen by her mother—and takes Michael with her into the Wilson lineage for her safety. Where everyone knows, Michael is his real son. However, the real fact is only Argon knows.

After finishing telling the story Argon looked at the son while holding his hand. "Michael, I'm a stupid man who doesn't even know if the woman I love is pregnant with my child and she has given birth to Laura. But again, Sanca must suffer the same fate as your real mother because of Lady's jealousy. She thought it was because of them that I couldn't love her. For all those mistakes, Papa's sorry."

Argon lowered his head heavily for him to hold all of this alone. However, now he can finally tell what really happened to the son. "Lady doesn't know if Sanca has a daughter because her identity is always hidden. But she—James Whale—knows that like me and thinks you're siblings. It means that from the beginning he had planned all this. For the sake of taking revenge on me and your father who has always been a roadblock."

James Whale is an enemy of Aragon in the mafia world, but it was also an opponent for Argon in the military for constantly harassing world peace and trying to put other countries at odds for personal gain and instead ended up being a fugitive.

Therefore, Argon always tried to protect Michael from the restraints of Grandma Elizabeth who is now old, in addition to educating him with heavy duty. He even overtly handed over the leadership of the mafia to his son so that his family knew, also so that Michael realized that the world he stood in was not as beautiful as imagined. However, in fact they are still trying to control Michael in the same way as he seems.

"I'm asking you to marry Laura immediately after confirming that she was my daughter who survived the fire that day. I'm old, Papa's been looking for Sanca and my little daughter for years, but it's not working. She thought I just wanted to take Laura away from her. Papa, can only beg you to take care of him before death picks me up." The heartfelt words behind Argon's honesty certainly touched Michael's heart.

"Papa." He hugged the middle-aged man's body. As if to understand how heavy and complicated the journey of the father's life so far.

"I'm sorry Papa, Mich. Forgive Papa's selfish wish for asking you to marry him. And clearly Papa knows that he hates our family."

"Mich understands, Pa. Laura is not a stupid girl. He'll know the real facts sooner or later if he's just taken advantage of them."

Michael's answer immediately invited the desire of two men behind them to answer. "Miss seems to know, sir."

"What?" Both men were stunned.

"We're here because of Miss's orders. He was also the one who had actually saved Master that night."

"Quick find out the latest Laura news! James will definitely not let Laura roam around freely after realizing it," Argon's strict orders.
