One month later
Michael p.o.v
I hear my alarm sound beside me as I extend my arms and smash my alarm again. I groan as I sit up and ruff my hair a bit before getting up and stretch. I throw away the alarm clock and write down on a note for Author so he can get me another one. I quickly change into my business suit as and grab my backpack on the way out as I head to the living room and place my backpack on the couch. I rush back upstairs as I walk into Alexis room and sake him up for private school. I decided to move him to a different private school that was about hard from our home, but it was way better for him. Alexis slowly gets up and rubs his eyes as I get him into the bathroom so he can do his business while I grab his uniform. He walks out and I help him change and grab his backpack as we head downstairs. I walk I to the kitchen as I take out his lunch box that was prepared for him yesterday and mine as well. "Time to go Alexis, head to the car for me while I grab one more thing." He says okay and leaves quickly to the car as I walk to a draw and pull out a gun and placed it in it holster on my left side and an extra magazine in case.
I head to the car and see Alexis was all buckled up as I start the car and take off. I drive on the highway as I look to Alexis to see he had a boring look on his face. "What is wrong buddy, do you not want to go to school? if not I could cancel today." He Shakes his head as he look to his hands. "It's boring because I already know everything that they teach us. Couldn't you have put me in a higher grade?" I smile as I the exit to his school. Alexis is advance then his level so he is not happy at all of the classes. He just turn 6 last month and he is in first grade as of now, but he is a fourth grade level. It was best of nobody knew that he was very advance so that way he can go to school with children around his age. "I know buddy, you know why we are doing this. Well here we are!" I pull up to the parking lot and park so I could walk him to his class. I put on my sunglass and help him out as I help him put on his backpack. We walk into the school as children run to their class while parents walk them to their classes. We reach his home room and I crouch down to his level as I fix his jacket. "Behave and don't get into fights again. I don't want to get a call about you getting into another fight. Just defend yourself and you will be fine." I kiss his forehead and he walk into his class as I stand up and walk away but a lady bumps into me hard. She drops her papers and her coffee as she looks up at me and sighs. "Oh you Alexis mother! My son told me that Alexis bothers him and I can see where he get it. I hate to break it to you, but this school doesn't like to deal with parents of.....your type." I smirk as I take off my glasses and stare into her eye.
"Or I don't think they deal with woman who cheat on her husband every week and has a child that isn't his." She looks at me dumbfounded as I wink at her before heading out and I drive all the way to Sarah tech company. I started to work there as a business partner and a volunteer since they are designing advance arms. Adam would sometime come in and talk to us about ideas as we try to make new things. I sat on my desk and start to look over files which last a few hours until my phone started to ring and I check to see it was Alexis school. I groan as I answer it and the principal start to talk.
Principal:Hello Miss Madison, I am call regarding to Alexis, I want you to come up to the school so we can talk about a few issue that we have.
Me: What did Alexis do so I can to leave my job and drive up to the school?
Principal: Your son got into a fight and I need you here so we can talk about things we can do to fix this.
Me:okay, I will get there in a bit, bye.
I hang up and sigh as Adam pop next to me. "It was the school.... wasn't it?" I nod as I pack my thing and he follows me. "Let me come with you so we can see if we can figure out what really happened this time. I could hack I the security cameras for you?" I think about before I let him follow me. We quickly head into my car and I take off as Adam take out his computer. "This is the sixth time they call me about Alexis and every time I go it is because he starts a fight." I quickly pull up to the school and I look at Adam. "Get the footage quickly and then hack into the schools reports about Alexis." He nods as I get out and walk into the school. I head to the office as they directed me into the principal's office and I walk in to see hom in his desk while Alexis on the side. I walk up to him as I check him to see he had a black eye, busted lip and a small cut on his eyebrow.
I sigh as I sit down and the principal pulls out a paper. "This was filled out by the teacher claiming that Alexis got mad at a student and punched him because he claims they were talking bad about him." I take the paper ad read it and look at Alexis as I grab his hand and make him stand in front of me. "Tell me what happen buddy." He doesn't look at me as his foot taps my shoe two times before looking up at me. That was a sigh we have been working that mean that he was about to lie and he can't tell me here. "I punch two big boys because they made me mad." He says it quietly as I smile and rubs his face. I stand up and look at the principal. "I am going to take my son so I can talk to him about it more so that this doesn't happen again." The principal nods as I shake his hand and leave there quickly as I hold Alexis hand tight. He gets into his seat as I sit down and look at Adam as he had a shock look. "You have no idea on what I saw from the cameras."
I grip on the steering wheel as I drive all the way back to the company and we all head upstairs to my office. Alexis sits down in a chair as I crouch in front of him and I takes his hands. "What did they say to you?" He gulps a bit as he leans in and whispers into my ear. I stay still as he gives me every detail before he pulls away. I stay still as my fist clutch and I stand up quickly as I face away from him to the wall. Adam noticed my anger as he tells Alexis to leave the room and go look for Sarah. Once the door closed, I slide all my things from the table to the floor and punch the wall repeatedly until I was tired. Adam shows me the footage from the cameras and I listen to the conversation of the teacher about me and Alexis.
"Omg, did you see the mother of Alexis, she totally got to be lesbian but where is the father. She must be a slut and now she is at this school. Why did the principal even accepted them? what if Alexis if gay? He can't be around the children if he is." A teacher said that as I see that Alexis in the corner of the camera listening to the conversation before leading to the playground where two big boys talked to him before punching him and Alexis take them both out quickly. Adam closes the computer as I sit on my desk and calm my thoughts. There is a knock on the door as it open to reveal Author in a suit with paper n his hands. "Ohh...sorry I didn't know you were busy! I will come back some other time." I shake my head as Adam collects his things."Not it is okay Author I was just leaving. I will see you later Michael." Adam leave as he close the door behind him and I rub my temples."What is my schedule Author?" He pulls out the tablet and checks it.
"Well at 6pm, you have a dinner with another business boss. He needs you help with ideas and a hand as well. Then at 8pm you are a plus one for Sarah's aniversetiy party of her company." I nod as I relax myself and then Alexis walks in with a bag of chips and his tablet. He sit in his small comfort corner as I start to do my paper work until it hit 4pm. I stretch as I pack my things into my backpack and help Alexis with his homework for an hour until it was time to go. We leave the company and head home and Author distracts Alexis so I can get ready for the dinner.
I put on a normal black suit and head downstairs to see that Alexis and Author were playing his Playstation. "Okay I am leave, please listen to Author Alexis." They pause the games and Alexis give me a hug."Okay mother, please be careful." I kiss his forehead and head out so I could arrive at the dinner early.
one hour later
I go back to the house after the dinner to change into my formal suit that I got for the party. Sarah chose the color to be red and black so here I am putting on a red long sleeve shirt and a black bowtie. I put on the jacket to finish it and and i head to Alexis's room as Author was tugging him into bed. Author see me and gets out of the way as I sit beside Alexis and he looks at me."Am I going to school tomorrow mother?" I think about before shaking my head."No buddy, I had Adam hack the cameras at the school...you will stay for a few days as I deal with the school. For now just sleep in and tomorrow we will go do something fun, okay?" He smiles and nods as I kiss his forehead and turn off the lights on the way out. I close the door and turn around to see author looking at me worried. I sigh as I walk pass him to downstairs."Michael, are you sure I don't go with you? You never know who will be there and Sarah never showed you the guest list." I shake my head as I look at him before walking to the garage."I want you to protect Alexis while I am gone. If anything happens, make sure Alexis is safe and then check out everything to make sure. I will see you in a few hours." I walk to my car and I start it as I reverse out of the garage and then take off quickly.
I arrive at her house and I see people were starting to arrive at the party. I quickly toss my keys to a servant who take them to move my car as I walk inside to see a lot of people having fun. I walk around until someone hugs me out of nowhere and lets me go. Sarah smiles as she pulls me into a hallway and smacks my arm."Where the hell were you at? The guests started to come and my partner wasn't here?" I rub my arm as I kiss her check and she smiles."I was with Alexis and giving Author some few other direction before I left. Now I am here and that is all it matters, come on." I put my arm out which she loops her around around mine and we walk back into the room as we greet guest.
Soon they start to serve out dishes and we all dig in as I walk to the bar and get myself some vodka. I take a few sips as random lady walks up to me and takes with me. We talk for a bit as she take my drink and Sarah pops out of nowhere."Hey Michael, I was looking fot you!" I smirk as the lady blushed in embarrassment and leaves quickly."You know you are acting like Ana. I don't need another psycho in my life Sarah and why am I your partner when you invited your boyfriend to the party." I point towards a tall handsome guy as he drinks his champagne and stared at us."I want him to be a man and ask me to join him. I don't want a weak man who depends on me to make a move." I chuckle as I ask for another vodka and Sarah smirks as I take my cup. I ignore her as I take a sip when she leans close to me."Oh I see Ivan's plus one is Ana and damn she looks good." I choke on my drink and try to clear my throat as I turn around a bit to see Ana in a beautiful black dress. I look away as Sarah pats my shoulder and her boyfriend walks up to us as some music is played in the dance floor. Her boyfriend ask her for a dance which she accepts and leave me alone as I start to get nervous. I get up and turn around as I bump into someone and I quickly catch them before they could fall to the ground.
I stare at Ana as she hold on to me and I lift her up and immediately let her go as I walk away."Michael, wait." I stop as I hear her voice in a month. It was soft and warm as she walk towards me with my back facing her."We.....we need to talk." I stand there I think as I know for a fact I don't want to talk alone with her. I turn around as I go her a small bow and extend my hand."Would you care for a dance Miss Ana?" She looks confused as she take it and I lead her to the dance floor. We start to dance as I lean to her ear."What do you want? I was not invited here to see or talk to you Ana so make it quick."
She looked nervous as I acted normal since people were staring at us since a few people know about our break up."I just wanted to apologise for the way I acted towards you. I should have known that been in the enemy's hands would change you completely. It was selfish of me to act the way towards you." I nod as I look at her curious."Is that it? I don't want the people to think the wrong idea of you been with me." She sighs and holds me as she doesn't let me go."Please let me make it up to you. I want to be with you by your side with Alexis...with our son." My eyes widen a bit as my heart spikes up and I pull away from her. The dark memories of us start to glow in as I walk away from her before she laughs."The same old Michael....you never changed at all as I see the same girl that betrays her family so she can get what she want...or she is protecting the king of dragons." I stop and stand still as everyone looks at me wondering and whispering. My fist cluch tight as Ana walks up to me and takes out pictures from her purse to show picture of me and the king of dragons.
They were pictures of my missions with them and I look at Ana with a deadly look and she looks mad at me. "Are you working for him?" All I think about is that I can't let her sell me out so that people think that I helped the king of dragons. I take off my jacket and rip my shirt off as it exposed my scars on my back. Ana hasn't seen fully of them so her face is in shock when she see them."Do you think I wanted to work them? I have seen threw the worst possible situation and you think I would betrays my family and friends. YOU THINK I WILL RISK YOUR LIFE JUST TO SAVE MY OWN SKIN?" My eye went bright as everyone backed away from me and Ana. Sarah appears with her boyfriend as they pull me away from the crowd into a empty hallway. Her boyfriend leave and comes back with my clothes and I put them on."Michael, you let her in your head.....control yourself while we have guest here." I take deep breath before I nod and compose myself before we walk back out to the party. I head immediately to the bar and order a few line of shots for me.
As I go to take my last one, someone take it away and drinks it. I turn around to see my father standing there happy as I chuckle and give him a hug."How have you been sweetie?" I give him a okay gesture and he smiles."I saw what Ana did and next time I will not bring her around you again. But let's forget about her since I have present for you." I looked at him super as he lead me away from the room and into a large living room."Father there is no need for a gift, what can be so special that I must have?" he gestures behind me and I turn around to see a young boy standing in the moon light shining from a window. He had a nice black suit on and his hair was fix perfectly back. A scar run down from his left eyes and cheek as it look like he was attacked. I stand there motionless as my father leaves the living room for us. Jake stands there with tears in his eye and a small smile. I slowly walk to him and stand in front of him as I touch his cheek. He doesn't move as I pull him into a tight hug which he wrap his small arms around me. I start to cry as I let go and check his body."Jake...how are you here? Why did my father brought you here? I missed you so much that I should have taken you out of that hell hole a long time already!" He chuckles as he take out a folded paper from his pocket. I take it and unfold it to see it was a paper of guardian for him."Father has been in a bad place and Ivan decided it was best if I was put in your care so we could be together." I smile brightly as I get him into another hug."I accept you immediately! Don't worry about anything at all, I will have everything ready for you when we get home and I have someone for you to meet back home."
We head back out and we talk most of the time until I decide it was time to go. I say my goodbyes and head to my car which Jake looked very surprised as he got in. I drive back to the house and he admire it as I open the door quietly and we walked in. Author descends from the stair and looked relief."Oh thanks god you are okay. Who is this Miss Michael?" I put my hand on Jake's shoulder and push him in front of me."This is my brother Jake Madison and he was send from the base so I could take care of him. Jake this is Author my personal guardian." Author shakes Jake's hand and looks at me."I am going to fix his room and will be on your left." I nod as he goes to the stairs, but I stop him."Is Alexis asleep?" he smiles and shakes his head."No, he woke up 10 minutes ago and he is reading a book, let me call him down while I am up there "
I nod and he heads up while we sit down in the living room. Few minutes later I hear fast small footsteps as Alexis comes from the corner and jumps into my lap."Mother you came back early!" I chuckled as he sit down in my lap and turn towards Jake. "Mother who is this?" Jake looks nervous as I look at Alexis."Buddy this is Jake, your uncle. Jake this is your nephew Alexis." Jake smile as Alexis gets off my lap and walk towards him. Alexis smiles as he crawls into Jake's lap."I finally have an uncle!" He hugs him tight as Jake is taken from surprised and hugs him back."Okay buddy, time for you to go to bed, tomorrow we are going to visit grandfather." He smile brightly and gives me and Jake a goodnight kiss before head back to his room.
"When did you had a kid Michael." I sigh I rub my neck."He was a bounty hunt and I found him at a store trying to steal from me. I decided to adopt him and he been my son since then, how about we all go to bed, you must be exhausted from the trip to here. We will see each other in the morning and you will tell my how things were over back at the base." He nods as I give him a goodnight kiss and Author lead Jake to his room. I sigh as I lean back into the couch and think about the base. Jake looks like he went through something because of the scar on his face. I get up and head to my room as I change into my pajamas before jumping into bed. Something happen at the base and I need to know why all the sudden Jake was given to me if his father was at the base as well.
What is going on that I don't know about? My father would have told me that he was going to give me custody of Jake since his father was taking care of him. Author walks in and I look at him."I want you to contact Joshua to see if he can hack his way into the base to see why my brother was brought it me out of nowhere. I want to know if there is anything new that happen since the last time I visited." Author nod and leaves my room closing the door right behind him.
I sigh as I roll to my side and my mind goes to Daniel as I stare at the moon.
