Trying to avoid his gazes, annoying stares, uncomfortable presence and also the fact he's my real father. I killed the fake on and took advantage of it just to be part of mafia organization, they accept me with no doubt and even thinking I'm a fraud.

Then asked me questions, maybe it'll help you accept me..." He finally talked. "Why would I do that? You were just a man whose curious about my situation, save me from death to have another chance to explain your side. Then you what me to listen? Isn't it ridiculous, Fred?" I said."Is that hat

I decided to visit my brother and mother who's on this house, and own by Grayson. Well, I didn't even expecting him to have a small house near from the sea. So, this house is more on vacation house that is far from the city.

Grayson's voice made look at him, and smiled because somehow he change. "I think so...""What's wrong?" He asked me with concern. "It's just that... I'm scared to face my mom and had no words prepare, even things to discuss. Maybe I need more time to be prepared?" "No, Erika. You already prepared everything and all you need to do is say everything to her, maybe it'll help both of you to forget?" He answered. Am I dreaming? I mean, Grayson is a little bit weird for me today
Erika's POV"He's handsome and charming," Mom commented. I just smile and looked back at the shore where my brother and Grayson talking and playing. She's not aware about my role into Grayson's life but I don't have any plan telling her because no mother wants their daughter to sold her body to be a surrogate."Erika?" She called my name, so I turned to her."Why are you seemed bothered?" She asked. "Nothing, mom. Just thinking what my life be if it's wasn't for him, although I already disappoint him. I lost our baby and didn't know how to start over..."She held my hand and uttered, "I know how hard it was, but maybe that baby wasn't for you. I mean, I know you wanted to have a baby badly, but maybe it's not your time to have it. Just wait patiently...""I can wait, mom. It's just that, I am thinking if he'll wait until we have another angel. Grayson wanted to have a baby, we've been planning this all years.""Don't pressure yourself too much, Erika.

Gerald's POV"I heard you fired your maid after spilling coffee in your shirt?" Robert's voice interfered my peaceful alone time, but didn't look at him and remain to the book I'm reading. "Even though you want us to disappear, we can't. I don't wanna ruin your alone time, but I'm afraid so that your father wanted to take you with him."I stop from reading after hearing it, "I know but he can't forced me to go with him. I rather be shot by your legal son again than wasting my life with him, so I'm not coming with him."My decision is final and no one can change it since I still have business to deal, and don't wanna leave it unsolved. I don't care if he's my legal father and he had the right to take me, but I'm too old for that. I don't need any parents consent on what I shouldn't do and should do. "Listen, Gerald. I made a mistake for distancing you to me because I thought if you get close to me. It's going to be hard for both of us to separate.""Don't push it, Robert. I have no t
Patricia's POV "It's a miracle you decided to change, Gerald. Can't even imagine how happy they were and I am proud of you," I happily muttered after serving his food. "Not consider as miracle, Patricia. It's just a word to make those old men to stop bothering me, and I am not gonna stop because my father arrived."His answer made me stop and look at him surprise because all I thought he's going to change. But that is just part of his plan to avoid the fathers he had, also to continue what he started. "Since I'm still alive, it's a sign my plans are up. No person can change it even my own father, although I made a promise on coming with him. That's why I am glad you decided to meet me today," he stated. "Why?" I questioned. "I know your pregnant after our first session, but you decided to hide it from me. One time is enough, and I didn't think one time will make you pregnant. I thought we need to do it more often, however I'm surprised to know it myself."I widened because unlike
Erika's POVThe sun is almost setting down, it's beauty is very enough to relieve me and it wrapping the shore. He never took me on this kind of beautiful place, if my family wasn't here maybe I wasn't either. I always adore the sun from my room window at his house, but seeing it more closely is recommended than my window. However, I don't know until when we're gonna stay here or maybe until tomorrow only. Grayson is not talkative at all, which means I have to predict what ever decision he made. Just looking into his eyes is enough for me to tell whether he is against of this scenario or bored talking to my brother.I sighed because even though my family is safe, I'm still not comfortable. There's a tendency he's kinda having a rough time being nice, he's not nice if you asked me and not caring either. Maybe he's trying to force himself to be nice to my family."What are you thinking?" He speak, so I turn to him and smile after seeing Grayson standing in my side. I didn't even sense
