[ Evangeline ]The meeting with Colton went the way I wanted it to be except when he told me about my grieving parents. I felt guilty of not contacting them in years and it had been weighing over my chest like a million ton rock.I need to see them sooner and seek their forgiveness, if they'll gather themselves to pardon me for neglecting them.A part of me wanted to pretend that the last few days never happened and I can live a peaceful life with my son. I wish like my death, the past when I decided to marry Colton would also change but the marriage also gave me the only but the most beautiful blessing, my Chase.My phone suddenly ran which made me jump in surprise as I was deeply lost in the momery lane. It showed Dominic's number on the screen.I swiped it quickly and put it near my ear,"Hello, Dom." I greeted him."Thank God! You're alive, Eve. I was about to break into your house if you didn't answer my call." I heard Dom sighing on the other side.Wait a minute! He's outside my
[ Colton ]"Sir, Mrs. Black is on her way to your office. Should I send her in or..." Hendrick paused and gauged my reaction. He couldn't risk his job by disrespecting the Boss's wife but currently I wasn't in a mood to see or talk to anyone.My meeting with Evangeline went off the track. That wily woman crushed all my positive hopes to be with my son without any tricks and hostility."Sir?" Hendrick called out my name again to grab my attention."Send her in." I sighed pinching the bridge of my nose.He nodded his head and left.Evanca returned from her trip late night. I spent the whole night in my home office and she must be probably exhausted from the journey that we didn't see each other even at the breakfast table. After dropping Mia at school, I directly drove to my office to divert my mind from my personal life temporarily but it didn't work.My mind kept going back on Chase. My desire to be with my son had been increasing and deepening with each passing day. I wanted to be wi
[ Colton ]"This..this..can't be serious. She can't do this to me." I threw a paperweight on the screen which made Evanca jump in fear but my anger had no bounds, I felt betrayed and fooled by her."Col baby, what are you doing?" Evanca tried to grab hold of my hand but I shoved her away."Just..just leave me alone, Evanca." I closed my eyes to refrain myself from hurting her and right then, I wasn't myself."No, I am not going anywhere unless you tell me why this news bothers you?" She crossed her arms."I said leave me alone, Evanca or I will do something that we both are going to regret later." I warned her again, my patience with her running thin as I had to make a few urgent calls to verify the viral news but she didn't seem to understand my mental status.I pressed the intercom, completely ignoring her. In the next one minute, Hendrick rushed into the office, his eyes widened in surprise when he saw the mess I created."Yes..yes Sir." He then diverted his attention on me."Cance
[ Evangeline ]"I knew it was a bad idea, Dom but you said that it would work but I am not sure anymore. Chase isn't talking to us." I rubbed my forehead as the migraine was getting worse.He placed his hand gently on my shoulder,"Give him some time, Eve. He's a child and their psychological state is sensitive. He always saw me as his uncle and god father but now, he has to accept me as a father figure which he never had. Please, don't stress yourself, I beg you, Evangeline." He said in a comforting way but it failed to ease my anxiety over my son's behavior."He hasn't said a word to me or you since he heard us talking of marriage, Dom. He even refused to accompany us to the marriage registration office. I don't care what Colton would do but I am afraid of my son's heartbreak. He's hurt and it's killing me too." I leaned on his shoulder."Let's try again to talk to him once he returns from school. We can take him out for dinner at his favorite KFC restaurant and then we'd make him un
[ Evangeline ]"My baby, how do you feel now?" I stroked Chase's hairs while trying my best to control my tears from spilling. He was laying on the bed, eyes closed but his face was white.He slowly fluttered them open and blinked a few times to adjust his vision in the bright light of the room."Mom..Mommy?" He said in a very weak voice and coughed."Hey, baby shhh...I am right here. You're okay now." I stroked his head to make him feel comfortable."Hey buddy, here, please drink some water." Dominic tilted his head slightly to help him in drinking some water."Do you feel better now, Chase?" Principal Woods, who shrank in a corner after Dominic threatened to drag the school and the responsibile teachers in the court."I am good now, Sir." He smiled faintly at his Principal and then turned to look at me,"Mommy, please take me home, this bed is not comfortable." He tucked his tiny hand with mine."Yes, baby, we'll take you home soon but right now, you need more rest before we take you
[ Evangeline ]"Chase baby, shall we go back to our home now if you feel okay to travel?" I asked my boy softly, his still looked tired but the doctor said that he was fine. They ran all the test to ensure his health.Oh I forgot to mention that Dominic called the best doctors of the most expensive hospital in the city to examine Chase."Yeah, Mommy but you promise me to make my favorite cheese sandwich and hot chocolate." He blinked his big eyes at me."I will, now let Uncle Dom pick you up and before you say that you're a strong man, let me say that you are tired and weak to walk by yourself." I reminded him. A part of me felt elated that he finally talked to me after days since he heard of our marriage."Chase, hey buddy, come here. I'll pick you or you can take a ride on my back if you wish." Dominic tried to break the ice between them.Chase looked up at a waiting Dominic but instead of a vocal response, he slowly nodded his head."Good, now come here." He stretched his arms for
[ Colton ]"Evana!""Evanca, where the hell are you?" I yelled as I entered in the mansion."Evanca Black, I want you to be here right now." I roared again but there's no sign of her. My house staff scrambled away in fear. They didn't want to become a victim of my wrath.I pointed my finger at a maid whose body was trembling like a dried leaf,"Where is Mrs. Black?" I asked her, my anger was reaching on a dangerous point."She..she..isn't home yet, Sir." She stammered with her answer.I ran my fingers through my hairs. Evanca's jealousy created more challenges for me and the little hope I built to get my son, now seemed to disappear. Dominic and Evangeline would use Evanca's threat and bullying Chase will be considered as a testimony in the court and if their lawyers present it with excellence, I'd never be able to see my son let alone winning his custody."Sir?" Her timid voice forced me to glare at her. I hate when people bother me without my permission to let them speak."What? Do y
[ Colton ]"What the hell is wrong with you, Colton Black?" Evanca pranced at me with rage dripping from her words and expressions. We always shared a romantic bond, I respect her as a person before loving her and sometimes I ignored her mistakes but this time her over-possessiveness cost me everything I have."First you explain me why did you do that?" I crossed my arms across my chest and gave her a pointed look. This time she wouldn't escape by showing me her puppy face or seducing me."Explain you what?" She looked away to hide her uneasiness."You know very well what I mean, Evanca. So, don't waste our time because we both have a lot of other works where our attention is needed." I said."I did nothing wrong and before you blame me of scaring your little brat, let me tell you that I didn't know that it's yours. I only went there to transmit my message to my bitch of a sister, Evangeline via her son. That's all and it's not a big deal. You're only creating a scene here." She rolle
