Chapter 3 - An aim to fulfill

~~ What's meant to be happen, will happen at any cost ~~ 

Xavier after a tired day went back to home while cursing himself on the way. He was supposed to reach home by two hours but he didn't know when instead of 3 o'clock, the watch struck 9 o'clock. 

Reaching home, he was met with silence until their Butler came and informed him that his mother and sister had already left for Elder Mr. Night's house on decided time. And Xavier is to reach Mr. Night's home by today or else the consequences won't be good. 

"This old man is only good at threatening people. Gosh!! Can't he just leave me alone???" 

Xavier muttered under his breath and gave a curt nod to the butler. He went inside his room and took a relaxing shower. He then changed into a pair of white jeans paired up with white tee and a leather jacket. Considering the weather of the country, it was the most suitable dress he could have worn. 

Strapping a watch on his wrist, he took his phone and went down. Giving instructions to the butler and other helpers, Xavier hopped inside his car and started his journey. 

Mr. Night, the elder master of the night family. A healthy and strong minded man at the age of 85 had conquered everything. A luxurious life, never ending wealth and above all RESPECT. 

He was married to his childhood sweetheart, Mrs. Alexis who died five years back leaving him behind all alone. Mr. Night had only one son. Due to some health issues, late Mrs. Alexis couldn't breed any more children. 

Mr. Night taught all social norms to his only son. He handed over his company to him when his son turned 26. He then got him married to his best friend's daughter. He was happy as his son and daughter-in-law were gradually falling into love. Mr. Night was ecstatic when he held his first grandson for the first time, his heir XAVIER NIGHT. Xavier is the exact xerox copy of Mr. Night. Starting from his behavior to his facial and body structures, everything reminded Mr. Night of his young age. 

Then something happened which made Mr. Night drift away from his favourite grandson. He started behaving strictly with him. Instead of making him understand nicely and calmly, he started scolding him for every one of his mistake. 

A dreadful time came when Mr. Night's son and Xavier's father died mysteriously. All they found was his dead body covered in bullets. From that time, Xavier changed. He was soft but no one other than his family saw his soft side. He always wore a mask to hide his real feelings. The only person who could see through his mask is Mr. Night. And that's why Xavier hates the old man's guts and experienced eyes. 

Back to the present, 

Xavier drove for four hours straight and finally reached the outskirts of the city. His grandpa had a weird wish of living alone. So he chose his bungalow at the outskirts of the city. 

"Where is that idiot?" 

Shit!!!! Xavier muttered under his breath as he heard the raging voice of the old man. 

Muttering a string of prayers, he entered inside the bungalow. 

With a tight smile, he greeted Elder Master, Mr. Night who in return gave him a glare. 

"Laura ( Xavier's mother ), dear, tell him to eat the food that is on the table. Make sure he doesn't forget to reheat the food before eating. You and Lara go back to sleep. Don't you both dare to help him." 

Xavier snickered seeing the old man's bossy nature. Only because of him, he learnt how to cook and how to do the basic household works. 

Xavier turned towards his mother and said with a soft smile, 

"Mom, you go and take a rest. Take this pig also. Or else she will complain in the morning that her beauty sleep was disrupted." 

Amidst all tension and worries, Xavier never forgets to tease his little sister. Lara gave him a glare and walked away not before giving him an eye roll and kissing Grandpa good night. 

"Eat and then sleep. I'll tell the helpers to keep the lights on in the hall. It will reach your room. There is an extra light in your room. It will keep the room lightened. Hmm!! Sleep well." 

Mrs. Night kissed Xavier's forehead. Xavier kissed her cheeks and wished her a goodnight. He smiled looking at his mother's retreating figure. She always figures out his problems. 

"Never be dependent on others for your work." 

Xavier fisted his palms as he heard the mocking voice behind him. He didn't have any answer or else he would have answered back that instant. So without answering back, he went towards the kitchen to reheat the food. 

° Elder Master Mr. Night's POV ° 

For being the strongest, 

You need to bear the hardest, 

To fight against others, 

You need to fight against your fears, 

In this present world, the strong people will always triumph by trampling the weak people under their feet. 

It's us who decide whether we want to be strong or weak. My changed behavior towards Xavier might prick everyone's eyes. But only I know how much effort I have to make just to make him strong. He has a mission to carry on. An aim. Aim to avenge his father's murderers. I don't want his murderers to be handed over to the legal department. Rather I want Xavier to avenge his father's death with his own bare hands. 

I stood up from the couch after a good 2 hours and walked inside Xavier's room. The slightly dimmed light was on. I chuckled slightly. His fear of darkness never left him. 

I walked near his side of the bed and sat beside him. I caressed his hair softly and kissed his forehead lovingly, 

"I don't have much time left in this world, Xavier. I want to make you fearless before I depart from this world. I want you to be strong so that you can bear my absence and avenge your father's death. 

Always be strong and never let anyone trample over you." 

With one final kiss on his forehead, I went out of the room. I had a wedding to plan. After all, the one and only grandson of MR. NIGHT was going to get married. It can't be a normal affair. 

I called someone's number and kept the phone beside my ear, 

"Hello, yes. Remember, each and every living being of country B should know that the wedding is of XAVIER NIGHT. Call every media and press. The most able wedding planner should plan the wedding. Or else consider getting yourself in a big mess." 

I smiled in satisfaction as I heard a positive response from the other side. Disconnecting the call, I relaxed on my arm chair.

Finally, one of my biggest worries is going to be put in place.
