Did I just allow that dude to go away with my son? What on earth was I thinking?That was the only opportunity I had to stop him from taking Asher away yet, I misplaced it. It’s been two days now and I haven’t heard from them.Who am I kidding?Asher doesn’t have a phone, and Raymond doesn’t even have my contact.“You messed up this time, Blair.”I know what I did, and it’s not proper to remind me of that. “Instead of you going with them, you decided to sit back just because of Jeff. You really…”“Enough of that, Hassy! Stop blaming me for everything!”Even though it is my fault, she is supposed to show some empathy. Hassy has been blaming me for what I did as if she too wouldn’t have done that if she were in my shoes. I was so confused. And I didn’t even know Asher was going to follow Raymond if I gave him the chance. “Take it or leave it, your boy is with his dad right now and he is not even thinking about you.”She took her bag and left.Is that even necessary?She keeps maki
“Hey, little puppy, you have no say in this, okay? I decided if you become the heir or not.”“But you are not Grandpa, and you are not Daddy.”Asher turned to me.“Daddy, who is he?” This is getting serious. I know Asher is so smart and would defend himself, but I wouldn't let Matilda and her husband bully the poor boy. He had just returned to his family, and getting a bad impression from them was too early. Come on, he is a little boy who doesn't even know what it means to run a company.“That’s your uncle and his wife.”After introducing them to Asher, I decided it was time to go. “Going where?”Grandpa asked.He didn't know I had already decided that I wouldn't be staying in the mansion. “Daddy’s house.”Asher answered instead. “What does that mean, Raymond?”Sighs.This is going to be tough.“Grandpa, Asher, and I won't stay in this mansion for now,”“Why? This is your home and also Asher’s home.”“Yes. But it is not proper for the boy to make enemies now. You saw what Mati
The next morning after Asher had had his breakfast, we decided to go see Grandpa George, to surprise him with our arrival. Unfortunately, Grandpa wasn't home when we arrived, the maids from his apartment said he had gone out to attend an important meeting. “When will he be back?”My question fell on deaf ears even though there were three of them standing in front of me. “I am talking to you. “Their attention wasn't even on me to know if I was talking to them or not.Following their eye's direction, they were staring at Asher who was leaning by the door. “Why are they looking at me that way, Daddy?”Asher was prompted to ask.“Tell them to stop.”He frowned.“Ladies!”Yelling their names was the only thing that worked.“What are you all staring at? Have you never seen a kid before?”They exchanged glances and lowered their heads“We are sorry, Mr. Raymond. We've seen kids before, it's just that we have never seen him. He looks so much like you. Is he your son?”Oh great.“It's obv
Luckily for us, Blair was outside when we arrived at her friend’s place. She seemed to be going somewhere with the way she was dressed. The moment she sighted our car, her expression changed. For the past few years, we'd been together, I'd never seen her so angry like that before. And when Asher ran to her when the car stopped, it scared me that she would take him inside and I would never see her again.“Mummy, come with us.”She scoffed then pulled Asher away from her.“I am so upset with you, Asher. Why did you follow the stranger and leave me in worry?”Asher glanced at me and then looked at her.“He isn't a stranger, he is my daddy.”Good.“He is not, young man. You will come with me to your real daddy right now.”She grabbed his hand. “And what if I don't want to go?”Blair stared at him for a while, surprised that he must have uttered that statement.“Then you will have to choose between me and that gig over there.”She pointed at me. Is she even serious right now?I bet s
RAYMOND’S POVA few days later, I was able to take my son away from her.My only excitement is that Asher followed me by his own will.How wonderful was that? If only Blair had followed us too, but I willMake sure I do whatever I can to bring her over here.She needs help, so much help.Jeff has messed up her brain because of his selfish interest. “Daddy?”Asher called, yawning.“Yes, baby.”He sat on the sofa's handle, resting his head on my shoulder.“When is mummy coming to see me? I've missed her a lot. And I am afraid that guy is going to hurt her.”He said all that with worry.If Asher, who is a little boy, could be so worried about his mum being with Jeff, then imagine what I feel anytime I remember that.“Do not worry, baby. Daddy will bring her back, okay? Then we will return home.”He nodded his head and sighed.“Aren’t you excited to go see Grandpa George? I've told him about you and he can’t wait to see you.”Asher put on a smile, then jumped down.“The moment we get mu
What on earth brought him here now?I hate the sight of him because he is getting in my way.“Blair, thank goodness you are here. I have been coming here for days now, but I couldn't find you. Are you alright? Where is Asher?”My goodness!What kind of a person is he?Wouldn't he just leave us alone?I don't know him from anywhere, and I am sure he is here to take my son away from me.He must be those evil people who take on another person’s form to harm them.“Stay away from us, please. We don’t want to see you.”“But Asher wants to see me, and I know you also want to see me. Blair, you are acting this way because you can’t remember me.”Oh my God!This is serious.“You know what? I am out of here.”I ignored his call, slowed down a taxi, and hopped in.Through the rearview mirror, I could see him waving his hand, trying to stop the driver.But the driver followed my instructions and drove out of there at speed.Raymond mustn't follow me because if he does, then Asher would want to g
