Nita’s POVShe frowned at the phone in her hand. There was no way Jeremy would leave without his phone. Maybe Nate was right, and something had indeed happened to Jeremy.Nate nodded, as if he could read his mother's thoughts. “I told you, mummy. Something had happened to Uncle Jeremy. I picked the phone just outside the hotel.”Nita rubbed Nate's body. He had gone out without supervision again. “Are you alright?”The image of him after the car had hit him was still deeply ingrained in her memory.Nate nodded. “I'm fine, mummy. I promise I wasn't running then. I only went to look for Uncle Jeremy because he wasn't coming back from where he went to get things for us.”“I get it, Nate. Mummy would look for him.” She assured him.But without his phone, she had no idea how she was supposed to track him or find him. It was like an impossible track.Cyborg was powerless beyond anything non-digital.Yet, she opened her laptop. She wouldn't give up, not when her son was staring at her like she

Nita’s POV Her heart raced at the accusation. Could Nick be the one who abducted Jeremy?Ever since she left the state five years ago, she wasn't interested in anything that had to do with the Grimm. She had ignored every news report, article, and piece of information about the Grimm family. So, she had no idea what Nick was capable of doing. She folded her arms. “What are you trying to say?”Jeremy chuckled, moving back a bit. “I'm just curious. I met…” he paused. “I mean, I saw an article with a picture of Nick. He looks so much like Nate?”She didn't believe him, but at least he wasn't confronting her anymore. Nita sighed. “Look. I don't want you giving my son false hope, and I don't want you investigating his father. Whatever happened between us is none of your business. You came here to help me out; please don't add to my stress.”A look of guilt flashed on Jeremy's face, but it was gone as soon as it came. He nodded at her. “I didn't mean any harm. I only came to help.”For so

Nita’s POVThe morning sun hit her face with a new dilemma.When she had made the promise, she didn’t think of Nate.Where was she supposed to drop Nate?She didn’t trust Jeremy enough to leave her son alone with him anymore, and showing up with Nate at the doorstep of the Grimm was not exactly the best idea.“What are you thinking of, mummy?”Nate wore a thick towel around his waist, and his hair dripped with water. His cute face was in a frown.Nita shook her head, running the hair cream over his hair. “I’m not thinking of anything.”Nate turned to face her fully. “Mummy, this is the weekend. You’re not going to work today. Are you going to show me the state today?”His eyes lit up in excitement, though she hadn’t even promised him anything.“Aunty Mia told me there are a lot of beautiful places in the state?”Of course, it was Mia.Even when she wasn’t in the state, all her teachings were pushing the boy against her.She dropped the towel and started dressing him in his outfit of s

Nita's POV Everything Jeff had told her about the party was a lie. The moment Nita walked into the hall, she stopped at the door, her hand fasten on Nate’s.The place was crowded. It was more than she had bargained for.And worse, there was hardly any familiar face along those in the hall. Jeff crept away from her side. “Have a lovely night Mrs. Grimm.”Though she had corrected him on her name, he seemed to want to stuck to that. She shrugged. It didn't matter. In few hours from now she would completely be rid of the name. Slowly, she stepped into the hall feeling like a hermit out of its shell. Her eyes moved around with her heart beating loud. Nick was no where to be found. She wouldn't mind to be done with what she came to do, so she could leave the place as soon as possible. A servant passed her carrying a tray of drink, she picked one up and down it in a go. Her heart raced as if it couldn't stay still in her chest. Nate pulled her hand and she looked down at him. She cr

Nita’s POVThe word echoed in Nita's head. The Grimm family now has an heir.Her fingers tightened around Nate's hand until the boy shifted beside her. “Mummy…”She loosened her grip immediately.No one could question Nick, but Nita could hear their mumbles. “Do you think he adopted a child?”“Do Nick have some sort of bastard out there?”“I never knew he was married.”Everyone was speculating on different things, but Nick was done with his speech. The crowd bowed to the picture including Nita as if to honour him again, before everyone dispered conversing with one another again. Nita moved with the crowd. What the heck did Nick meant by the Grimm had a heir? And why would he announce such in a thing in this sort of gathering?She was lost in thought with no idea on what to do when Nate tapped her. “Mummy, isn't that the delivery man coming our way?”Nita raised her head up. Nick moved with precise steps towards them. She could see heads following him, they probably wanted to kno

Nick's POVThe little frown and determination on her face almost made him laugh. Five years had changed many things, but not that stubborn expression.And he never thought they would ever be alone in the same room again not to think of having a conversation. Even if most of the conversation was pure argument. Her phone beeped and she lifted her head up. A glance at it made her look back at our son in the adjourning room, before she sighed. “I've to pick this.”Without waiting for his response, she moved out of the room. Nick didn't step from where he was, but he saw the little boy get down from the chair. He peeped out of the adjourning room and as if he couldn't help himself, he walked into the room. His eyes were fixed on Nick as he asked. “Are you really the delivery man?”Nick heart skipped a beat. For some reason, speaking with this five years old seemed more difficult than signing billion of deals. He shrugged. “I guess I am.”Nate frowned at him, his eyes moved slowly ov

Chapter 36Nita's POV Her hand wrapped around Nate at the back of the car. She had to order a cab to take them back to the car. She wasn't ready to ride with Jeff again, not after he had told a lie to bring her here. Nate lay on her lap. Ever since she pulled him out of the room, he hadn't uttered a word. She expected him to have questions. She expected him to ask about her strange friend that he didn't meet. But he didn't say anything. It was strange because Nate had always been inquisitive.Also, she wanted to know what Nick had told him in those minutes she had left the room. Had he called him his son?By the time the cab pulled up in front of their hotel, Nate was already fast asleep. She paid the cab and carried him off to their room. At the entrance of their room, Jeremy stood with his hand folded. When he laid his eyes on them, he moved to collect Nate from her hand, but Nita shrugged him off. “I got him.”He nodded and wanted to follow them into the room. “Please,

Nita's POV The note trembled between her fingers.For several seconds, she simply stared at it, unable to process the words.Her heartbeat thudded against her ribs.Slowly, she looked toward the sleeping boy on the bed.Nate hadn't stirred.Good.She folded the note back in the box and picked the next object in the box. Her gaze moved slowly over it as her hand tightened on that picture. Taking hasty steps, she locked the hotel door. It was no longer secure for her to remain here. First thing tomorrow morning, she was leaving the hotel and probably leaving the state.She wouldn't endanger her son just because she wanted to prove a point. That night she could barely sleep; her dreams were filled with nightmares of a masked figure snatching Nate from her hand. Regardless of how she screamed for help, no one came to help. When she woke up, she was gripping Nate tightly. Thankfully, the boy was fast asleep. She untangled herself from the boy.What was that all about?She started pack

Chapter 38Nita's POV The word echoed in Nita's ear and she staggered backwards. It was unexpected. Nick had always been selfish, caring only about himself. So, how could he be thinking of leaving his empire and going to Adonis with Nate. It was a joke. She held Nate's shoulder, putting a distance between him and Nick. “Thank you. But I think he'll be fine. Right, Nate.”For a moment, the boy looked at him with hopeful big eyes, but then shrugged. “I'll be fine. Thanks for the offer.”The room was plunged into an awkward silence when none of them made a move, as they stared at each other.Nate turned to his mother with a sad smile. “Are we going now?”She could tell he didn't want to leave, but staying back here was too dangerous for them.She looked at Nick. “Thanks, but we have to take our leave.”If it were before, she would have willingly shared the content of the box with Nick. She would have hope he comes up with a solution for them. But now, he was no more than a stranger

Nita's POV.Theo's offer sounded reckless.Yet returning to Adonis after that threat felt even more dangerous.Mia knew Theo. It was the reason she had requested she work in his office. If there was anyone whose opinion she trusted, it was hers.And honestly, she would love to know whoever was threatening her and her son. Her hand pressed on her phone. “Can you excuse me for a minute?”Theo smiled at him. “Of course. I'll keep an eye on the boy.“She nodded at Nate, swiftly moving outside. Making a call to Mia. On the first dial tone, Mia picked up as if she had been expecting her call. “Are you on your way?” Her voice sounded hasty. Nita smiled. “It seems that hello is no longer in your dictionary. You're always saying something else first.”“This is no time for you to joke, Nita. Ever since you sent the message to me, I have been on the edge. Have you booked your flight?”Nita sighed. She was also confused, but she wanted to do what she thought would be the best. Not only for
