Chapter 2: her name

KNIGHT ZRIX POV__ Hi everyone, my name is Knight Zeide Zrix Villareal, I'm 30 years old, and I have a single son named Lucas Zander. He no longer has a mommy because she left him in front of my gate the day he was born.

I loved her so much that day, so I got him pregnant again so he wouldn't leave me, but I was wrong. He still left me, and our child, and never showed up again. Since my son learned to talk, he only says one thing where is his mommy? He's also being bullied by other kids, even his cousins, because he doesn't have a mommy. It breaks my heart to see him cry. I've tried dating to make someone his mommy, but my son is always afraid of them or gets kidnapped for money.

When my son cried and really wanted a mommy, I took him out to stop him from crying. It worked, but when he saw this woman, he ran and kept calling her "mommy". I tried to stop him, but he eventually got to her. I gave her a stern look. "She's not your mommy, baby," I said, taking Lucas, but he cried and wanted to be with the woman.

(Fast forward)

Lucas is happily playing with the woman he calls mommy, and I'll admit, I'm happy because I've never seen my son so happy and not even feeling hungry, even though I was hesitant to leave him. I left Yaya to watch Lucas in case the woman tries to take my son. Actually, the woman seems trustworthy, beautiful, fair-skinned, and clearly from a wealthy family, but I don't know her background. I have many enemies.

Before I left, I sent two of my men to watch Lucas in case she tries to take my son. I told them not to hesitate to kill the woman if necessary. I bought burgers from the corner, including one for the woman, in case she's hungry. When I returned, I saw them talking, and that's when I heard the woman's name.

"How about you? What's your name?" Lucas asked the woman, smiling. She smiled back and answered,

"I'm Mira! Lucas! Mira Kealith," she said, ruffling his hair. Lucas laughed.

"How old are you?" Lucas asked again. Oh, my son is more mature than me when it comes to finding a girlfriend.

"I'm 26, no family because they left me," the woman said, suddenly looking sad.

"Aww, poor you!" Lucas said, trying to make her smile. She forced a smile.

"It's okay, it's been a long time," she said, stroking my son's hair, but I could sense the weight of her past. You could tell she's about to cry.

"One last question, why are you here?" Lucas asked, making me smile at my son's curiosity.

"Because I ran away from home to gain freedom. My stepmom and her daughter were mistreating me. When they left the house, I packed my things and left," she said, looking sad.

"Wow, poor you!" Lucas said, feeling sorry for her. I felt guilty too.

"Can I ask a favor, Mommy Mira?" Lucas suddenly asked, surprising me. He's never asked for a favor before, not even from me.

"Of course, baby, but don't call me mommy, okay?" she said, making Lucas lie on her lap.

Lucas sat up and looked straight into her eyes. Oh, my son is growing up.

"That's my favor, please be my mommy," Lucas said, making a prayer sign.

"Oh, Lucas, I've just met you," she said, pinching his cheek.

Listening to their conversation, I felt sorry for Lucas, who has been asking me when he'll have a mommy again. He asks me almost every day, but he's never asked for a favor. I also felt sorry for the woman because of her past. I didn't think she came to the park to kidnap a child.

I put the burgers on the ground and invited them to eat.

"Eat, you've been here for a while, you must be hungry," I said, giving each of them a burger.

"Daddy, have you been here long?" Lucas asked, making me look at them.

"No, I just got here. I bought burgers from the corner, but I caught your favor. This woman can't be your mommy, we've just met, and besides, don't you know she's going to be my wife if she becomes your mommy?" I said, feeding Lucas.

"Really? That's great! She's kind and beautiful, please, Daddy," Lucas said.

"No baby," I said, making me frown.

"Daddy, feed Mommy too," Lucas requested, looking at the woman, who was staring at us.

I looked at her and accidentally met her eyes. I quickly looked away. I had no choice but to follow Lucas's request. I didn't want him to get angry and sulk.

"Say ahhh," I said to the woman, holding a piece of burger near her mouth. She looked at the burger, then at Lucas, who nodded, making her open her mouth. I fed her.

"Yeyyy!!! My mommy and daddy are so sweet!" Lucas shouted, hugging the woman and me. I smelled her perfume, not bad like I thought, just a bit dirty from her clothes. She smells like cologne.

I suddenly felt hot and wanted to move away, but my son was holding us both, so I couldn't.
