"What do you mean someone picked him up?"

Mikaella tensed up. Ms Naomi, Seth's teacher had briefly explained it to her that Seth was not in school. She had already made several calls to ask her colleagues if they happen to pick Seth up from school.

She paced around her heart pounding against her chest as if to warn her of something tragic happening to Seth. She drove all the way home in hope that Seth would be there.

But the chances were slim and she knew it.

********

"Calm down, Mick," Raquel patted Mick's shoulder. Mikaella was already at home clutching Seth's toy in her hand. She was relentlessly shaking, her eyes now swollen due to how much she had cried, she muttered a prayer for Seth's safety.

"Yeah, I'm sure he's fine,"Phil, another close friend, assured her. He also had a hard time believing that his God son was now lost somewhere, alone and vulnerable in the outside world. He always considered Mick and Seth his family. To say that he didn't love Mick was a lie, he adored her and loved her from the first time he laid eyes on her.

They had asked help from the police but they would only declare Seth as a missing person if he didn't show for the next 24 hrs. She silently sat on the couch, her eyes so puffy, her whole body weary but no that didn't matter to her.

Seth was all that mattered and for the rest of those God damn hours, she had sat there waiting for any news about Seth. He was probably scared and crying for her. She stood up getting her coat ready to look for her son.

"Mick you can't go it's already late," Phil stood in front of her blocking her way.

"Phil move! My son is out there, he needs me Phil! He needs me! Who knows some delinquent maybe hurting him right now. I need to look for my son. I need Seth,"

Immediately those words were out of her mouth, she tore up, she cried once more and Phil was quick to give her a shoulder to cry on.

Even as she buried her head on Phil's chest, the door suddenly opened. Seth came rushing in they all looked towards his direction. Mikaella pulled away from Phil's embrace, she smiled wiping off the tears and running to Seth.

"Seth! Seth!," She hugged him, assessing him for any scratches, any wounds or injuries and showering him with kisses.

"Mommy why are you crying?" He looked at his mum wiping off the tears on her cheeks.

Both Raquel and Phil looked at Seth but they were unaware of the man who stood near the door. The man who caused all this......

Phil looked at the man, his eyes fired with rage, he approached him his fists clenched ready to put the man in his place.

"Uncle Phil, don't hurt daddy!" That stopped Phil on his tracks, he stood there, confused Roman Cervantes and Mick?

Mick also turned and looked at Roman who to say the least didn't seem guilty of anything.

"Mommy don't cry?! Daddy and I got you this," Seth handed the cotton candy to her mom. His eyes gleamed with happiness as he stuffed a piece of cotton candy in Mikaella's mouth.

"Baby boy! You almost gave me a heart attack. Come, gimme some cotton candy too" Raquel took Seth to his room leaving Mikaella, Phil and Roman in the living room.

"Mick, lemme handle him," Phil whispered.

"No Phil. I'll take care of him. Go home you need some rest" Mikaella said looking dead straight into Roman's eyes.

Phil after bidding Mikaella goodbye and hugging her to show Roman he had no chance with her, left.

Immediately Phil left, Mikaella strode over to Roman giving him an ear piercing slap.

"How dare you kidnap my son!" Mikaella asked looking at the man who now rubbed his jaw smoothly.

"Kidnap? You really have the nerve to accuse me of kidnapping my own son?"

Mikaella was at first taken back by his sudden discovery but she manned up. She tried to keep the lie on.

"Don't you call him that! He is not your son, Mr Cervantes!"

"Give it up already! The blood that flows through his vein is mine so don't you damn lie to me woman," he snapped smashing the grey wall that stood beside him.

The commotion downstairs made Seth come down. He looked at his mom then his dad and asked," Mommy, are you fighting with daddy?"

"Mommy don't be mad at dad pleasee..."Seth pleaded now taking Roman's hand and pulling him towards Mick. He entwined Mick and Roman's hand unaware of the tension in the room.

"We'll be one big happy family," Seth exclaimed excitedly.

    **Eight years later***"Dad! You came!" Kylie squealed jumping into Marcus' arms."I wouldn't miss it for the world princess",he spoke, parting from the embrace and giving her the purple wrapped gift."What about Pop-pop and Meemaw?" She asked looking behind him to see whether they were behind him."Unfortunately your grandfather had to bail at the last minute, something came up. Meemaw was right behind me, she's probably taking something from the car. Anyway, happy sweet sixteen, princess. Or should I say hashtag sixteen, hashtag sweet sixteen? Hashtag adobs""Eew, stop! Just stop! Happy birthday will do",Kylie chuckled.Mikaella and Roman were by the chocolate brunch flirting as always and at the same time wondering when Seth would get to the party. Kylie and Seth were bonded so much that they had an insane love for chocolate and so much that when Seth went to college, Kylie wanted to go to college with him too. The people murmured against themselves asking when the cake would be cu

    Mikaella"You don't have to do this",another voice soared in the room and a pissed James turned to stare at the man standing by the door.Marcus stood cautiously by the door and Mikaella felt relieved that he was there."Daddy!" Kylie screamed wriggling in James' arms."One more step and the kid gets it. Don't tempt me!"James shouted placing the nozzle of the gun on top of Kylie's head."Look, man. She's just a kid. Leave her and her mother and take me instead. I can get you cash, ten million, twenty-any amount you want",Marcus reasoned taking another step into the house."Not another step!"James shouted pressing the gun on Kylie's head harder and Mikaella cried praying that her kid wouldn't get hurt."Money? You think I want money from you? You should have let her die maybe then my family wouldn't be dragged into this mess. You are so clueless, aren't you? I'm not here for money and I don't want to do this but Leonardo has my family! It's a good thing you came, you are supposed to di

    MikaellaHer week had taken quite the somersault, she couldn't imagine that just a while ago she was in New Zealand worrying about what to cook for supper and the foundation's well being. Now she was worried about more trivial things, if Marcus had gotten released today as Roman had promised, if it was right to even go back to Roman and how Kylie would take the whole situation.She had been cooped in the condo for hours now, the logical thing at the moment was to start packing. To start preparing for a new life as Mikaella Sandoval Cervantes.Kylie was in her bedroom sleeping after an exhausting morning of playing horsie as she called it with Knuckles. Pouring the last of the coffee in her mug, she grabbed the mug heading to her bedroom to occupy herself with packing clothes she didn't really like into suitcases she hadn't even bought."I don't even like yellow",she sighed looking at the bright yellow dress on her bed.The other dresses next to her bed were even brighter than that on

    MikaellaᕙShe had worn Elizabeth's clothes inorder to fool the guards standing outside her door. The plan worked and right now she was on her way to Men's Central Jail.Within no time, she was standing outside the place where Marcus was being kept wondering if it was a good idea to even step foot in there. Was she even ready to face him? It was too late now, to back down."Name?"The sheriff asked and she answered Marcus Pierce. I'm here to see Marcus Pierce.It was a good thing he didn't ask who she was because she had no clue how to answer the question. She was his wife or atleast she thought she was his wife.The sheriff got out a bunch of keys opening the metallic door for her. The door creaked open and there was a certain silence that creeped her out. She followed the Sheriff walking behind him meekly. There were all kinds of people in there, one of the guys in there had a tooth, another was missing an eye, another had a scar on his face that looked like either he was burnt by h

  • A beautiful mistake   Chapter 70

    RomanHe must have been way in his head if he thought that just because he found her, they would be one happy family.'Give her time' Most people told him that, but how much time had he lost not being with her?They couldn't understand him, understand how he was feeling after seeing her after so long. He was driving to Lisa's house, she atleast needed to hear everything from him than from another person. He knew he was going to hurt her but the truth had always hurt and at the same time let people free. His wife was back and like a love struck teenager his feelings for her were stronger. Maybe stronger than even before now that he knew he had a daughter and Lisa needed to know that. That he cared for her but he still loved his wife.At first he doubted Kylie was his daughter, which is why hours later after Marcus was brought back from New Zealand with the help of the police, Roman had been the first to visit him in prison. It pissed him off, how Marcus asked about Mikaella and Kylie

    MikaellaShe sipped the wine that came with the condominium. Sitting on a warm fuzzy couch, her eyes raked the world outside the huge glass window. All her life was a lie. All those eight years with Marcus were nothing but a made up fairytale.She couldn't help thinking about what her son said. Seth wanted a mother so bad, he needed a mother by his side but she on the other hand had shut him out of her mind, had shut everyone out of her mind. What had she done to deserve such punishment, such torture?"Don't cry mom",Kylie came to her clutching Mr Knuckles in her hands.Atleast she had Knuckles with her, after everything that happened, Mikaella was sure that the new environment would torment Kylie as much as it tormented her. Which is why, she asked everyone to give her space so that she could process everything.Roman was quick to reject the decision she made but at the end of the day, her brother Gustavo thought it best. So hours later, she and her daughter were in a luxurious condo
