"You were going to run away with my child?" he began. "I should make you pay dearly for that! It's bad enought that -"
"I already told you. He's not yours!" I cut him off.
"Cut the crap, Sara! The boy recognized me-"
"Alex is a good-natured, friendly kid. That's he waved at you. It doesn't mean he knows you!"
"Lower your voice." The warning was issued in a calm voice, but a chill raced through me at his tone.
I swallowed and lowered my head out of that damned, submissive habit. The car was silent as I waited for him to speak.
"He recognized me and you know it! He's too young to make sense of what he felt, but he knew me! He listened to me!" He sighed.
"Here's what's gonna happen. I can't leave him here with you. Apart from the fact that I forbid him to live like this, I need to be in his life FULL TIME! You've hid him for four years. I'm taking him now," he said.
"You have no right," I cried. "He's not yours."Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
"Oh yeah? Then whose child is he?" His eyes shone with anger as his voice took a sharp edge.
"If you're pining him on another man..." he gave a bitter laugh. "That man could get seriously hurt for existing, you hear me? Wait, is it your KIND boss? Are you pining him on that old man?" His brow furrowed like he was truly wondering.
"If you keep saying he's not mine, there are grave consequences, Sara!" he warned.
"You sent your lawyer to offer me money for abortion. Do you remember that?" I asked.
"You rejected it and lied that there's no pregnancy!What's your fucking point?"
"My point is you don't even want this child... at least, not with a lowlife like me. Why are you doing this?" I pleaded.
"Here's what you need to know. Young Alexander Reign leaves here with me this morning."
"His name is Alexander James!"
He ignored me. Reaching for his phone, he dialed a number and held it to his ear. "Time to go!"
My heart sank into my stomach. What was I going to do? I had to call the police. But my phone was snatched away by that Tony guy.
I sat, biting my nails, thinking of how to stall this as Nick retrieved a small paper and a pen to start scribbling on it.
"Here's where we'll be for now. That's the home number, but you can also call my cellphone. You have to call me before coming over, understood?"
I sat unmoving in the car, resolving
not to step one foot outside. He
dumped the piece of paper on my thigh. The door to our house burst open at the same time, and Richard emerged with Alex in his arms.
The sight of my son, struggling against the large man, made me forget my decision to remain inside the car.
"Leave me! Gwanpaa!" Alex screamed.
Before I knew it, I was outside.
Tony and my old man didn't follow behind Rich. I feared to think of what Nick's other guard was doing to him. I raced towards my son, pleading with Rich. "You know this is wrong, Rich! Please don't take him from me."
When I tried to reach for Alex, he dodged, carrying the child who was still fighting him into the car. Nick recieved the boy with open arms as he screamed, ""Mommee!"
The sound tore my heart in two. I launched at Rich's back, grabbing, struggling to get a hold of my son, but Alex was out of reach. His father now held him in a warm hug.
I continued to hit Rich's back with my fist as he turned around and grabbed my arm. He shook me roughly, calling my name.
"Listen to me, Sara!" The urgency in his voice made me stop struggling.
"You know where to find us." His voice grew gentle.
He took both my hands and forced
the tiny piece of paper into it. "You CAN see him. You can follow behind
as soon as we leave. No one's
stopping you," Rich said gently.

When I lift my gaze to look at my son, Nick was glaring at his gamma with claws peeking out of his knuckles as he rocked the child.
Rich released my hands and gently tuck a few strands of twist behind my ear. "See you around," he said.
Tony emerged from the house at
that instant with my father shoving
past him and racing towards the car.
But they were already pulling out of the curb and driving off with Alex.
