Marco pulls Chelsea into his arms and hugs both her and Nico. Chelsea on the other hand is trying to find possible help. If the man would try to come close, she would scream. While they remain on their feet, too stunned to move, the man continues to watch them. And his gaze would always return to Nico's face. Even Nico felt the tension between the adults. Getting scared, he wraps his arms around his uncle's neck and hides his face in his neck. "Will you kill to get him?" Despite not wanting to say it, he grimly asks.He has been preparing himself for the inevitable. He will protect Chelsea and Nico at all costs. The man's eyes turned to look at him but did not say anything. Their cold gazes clash as they duel in silence. "Are you capable of protecting him?" After the long silence, the man casually smirks. His dark orbs glint in ominous amusement. Why would the man be amused? Has he been gauging him? "I will kill to protect him" Undeterred and without tearing his gaze away from
"These people never change" Lissie whines the moment she steps inside the CEO's office."What's wrong, baby doll?" Xander stood up and left his work on his table to approach her sister."Some nosy people have been bullying Skye. Are you aware of it?" She asks while they exchange kisses on the cheeks."I heard about it. But it's not something to be worried about. And not something Skye cannot handle. Don't worry about that" Xander affectionately pinches her nose as he dismisses the issue. He holds her by the waist to make her sit on the couch. "I was pissed for a moment" She rolls her eyes as she settles in while Xander just shakes his head. "By the way, she's stunning. Your chinita doll" playfully waving her brows, she teases. "Silly" While glaring at her, he boops her nose with his index finger. "What's your plan with her?" "I'll discuss it with the family soon" Their talk was interrupted when the door opened and several tall figures of handsome men entered. "Alek!" Lissie jum
After the call ended, they were startled when two men approached their seats from the back. "No harm will happen if you will just cooperate" a gruff voice reaches their ears after the two men take their seats behind them. Marco and Chelsea stiffen, sweating in terror. Even Nico fears to move. They can't believe it came sooner than expected. The men are quite apt. "What do you want?" Marco braves to ask. "The boy. We just want the boy" The man mutters as he presses something hard on Marco's back."Why do you want our son? You can't just take him away from us" Chelsea's voice quivered but she sternly retorted. They can't expect them to just hand over Nico to them."He is not your son. We heard what the boy called you" A snickering amusement laced the man's voice and pressed a pointed object at Chelsea's side. "Argh..." She groans in pain making Marco turn around."Chelsea...""Auntie Chelsea" Nico starts to cry upon seeing her grimace in pain. "Don't you dare make a wrong move" an
"I am Skye Monticello's secret from you. And you, Xander Nicolo, are her secret to me" Xander explains. After staring at him for a long time, Nico nods. He understands what he means. "But please don't blame your Mama. It's half my fault why she has to keep me a secret" Xander readily added. "Why it's your fault?" He whispers, confusion written on his face. "She fears the life I will give you. She fears the vast world as a Wright heir. She thought you would be scared" Xander bitterly smiles. Today, he starts to realize the impact of being a Wright heir. Seeing their son made him understand why Skye kept their son a secret. And he wished he hadn't found out. "I won't be scared" Nico assures him but he just bitterly smiles at him. With his reaction, Nico earnestly stares at his face, seeming to be gauging him. "You dont want me?" Nico's next question caught him off-guard. Even the others were stunned by the pain in his voice. "What?" For a moment Xander was dumbstruck. "Nico, bu
She is fully convinced she is having hallucinations. She could see her son running towards her and it was preposterous. Nico is at the farm across the globe from there. In the countryside far from the city. She has been strongly convincing herself but the thundering beat of her heart is threatening her rib cage. "Mama, you're here! You're finished with work now?" Nico stops in front of her, raising his arms to her like he used to. "How's work, Mama? Papa and I have been waiting for you. He said you're busy" The boy added while she remained astounded. How could she convince herself that he is just a hallucination if he is flesh and bone while expectantly staring at her? "Mama, you look so beautiful. It's okay to be beautiful. Papa is here now to protect you" No matter how she denies it, the boy with the nonstop chattering is her son. "Mama my arms are getting tired" He even reminded her of his raised arms. "Mr. Simon? Is there a child in front of me?" Still unconvinced of what s
"Don't worry, Skye. I have no plans to introduce you as Nicolo's mother. He will just be my son. No one will know about your connection to him"His words pierced her heart as she gasped in utter disbelief. What he said was exactly what she wanted but hearing it from him unexpectedly hurts her. For a moment she was rendered speechless while their gazes lock. "Ahm, of course" After clearing her constricted throat, she mumbles with a smile. If it comes out bitter, she can no longer control it. She was taken aback and the pain in her chest was drilling deeply."I'm just giving you what you wanted, Skye. You dont want to be associated with me. You want a peaceful life. Then it's granted" he mutters while intently staring at her."Yes," The only word she could muster to say. "Whatever setup we have will remain, of course with Nico as an addition. The guest room of the penthouse is being remodeled at the moment. You take care of him at home. But you cannot interact with him in public" he a
Today is an extraordinary day for WGC. Employees are all scampering towards the lobby early in the morning. The CEO arrives with a mini version of himself and the tiny figure beside him is wearing the same color of business suit and tie. However, employees were not only mesmerized by their perfectly paired outfits. They were left speechless seeing the face of the tiny figure. A spitting image of their handsome CEO. With a mere glance at their faces, anyone could tell their association. And with such an obvious fact, disbelief inundates the early morning of WGC. If the CEO boldly wears hickeys as evidence of his private affairs, this time he brings his offspring."The CEO has a son?""Has the CEO gotten married? When?"Everyone softly grumbles in pure disbelief as they all gape at the small figure who is trying to keep up with the wide strides of his father."Papa, they are all staring at me" Although he looks collected, Nico sounds anxious when he speaks."They are just surprised
"Miss Skye is so beautiful, right Papa?" Nicolo suddenly asks his father.The atmosphere suddenly tense while Skye was horrified. What is Nico doing? They never discussed it last night about having an interaction in public. Together with everyone, she dreadfully waited for Xander's response."There's a lot of equally beautiful ladies in the company, buddy" Xander shrugs and gives his rare smile to his son.Hearing the safe response of the CEO, most of the aspirants were appeased. Anyone could still have a chance. Despite having the boy's favor just now, Skye Monticello was not guaranteed of the CEO's interest. If everyone was relieved by Xander's response, Skye on the other hand almost glared at him. How dare he? Has he been considering someone else? Yes, she's amenable a lot of women in the company have exceptional beauty, even Director Cameron is beautiful and classy, but does he have to rub it in her face?If not for the eyes watching them, she could have confronted him. His wor
