Chapte five
A few days later in the Amazon forest not too far from a huge dam stood a beautiful white mansion which is well hidden by a bush of tickets which is famous in the Amazon.
The house is Victorian styled and sprawled like a castle in the middle of nowhere, inside the master's bedroom of the castle a man is thrashing on the bed in a bad dream, muffling a scream he woke up sweating buckets.
Scott sat up and looked around placing his fingers in his hair, he got up uncovered and went into the bathroom to take a shower which has become his thing every time he wakes up from the same dream that has been on repeat for a month now, which usually makes his day terrible except recently after he brought home the baby and the nanny.
The dream has been recurrent, and it's beginning to scare him, seeing wraiths and the wraith god unleashed on everyone but it always ends when a bright light starts shining and the silhouette of man comes out of that light and he is controlling the wraiths.
This being the second dream after the first dream where he always sees himself sitting on a throne in a Scottish setting in that same night, it gets stressful especially knowing how not relateable the dreams are.
He shrugged it off as he stepped out of the bathroom to hear little noises from the opposite room where he kept for his son so that they can be close by, even though he has not confirmed it and he has refused to do a DNA, his friend buck has asked him to many times but he is afraid of what will happen if the boy is not his.
After getting dressed he hurriedly, he came out of his room to see laisha coming out of the bedroom She smiled " good morning sir, how are you today?" Scott smiles " am ok laisha, how is my boy doing, is he awake?" seeing laisha nod " he is doing fine " Scott opens the door and steps into the darkroom, he immediately draws the curtains, and sits on the bed staring at his son, beautiful white curly hair and the dimples on his cheeks and jaw? Scott felt like that is strange because he took everything from Gemini but this jaw dimple is not from Gemini or lyric or himself.,. With that said he chuckles well it was very funny to say something was gotten from him considering his scary looks, he knew deep down that played a huge part in Gemini not picking him and choosing lyrics instead, he got up and left the room.
He went back into his room and stood in front of the mirror, staring at himself, staring back at him is a black man, bald, disfigured, and scarred skin, and a crooked nose, 7ft 3inch tall and very very scary.
He smiles remembering that they had to pay laisha a huge amount of money before she agreed to take the job, after taking one look at him, but she at least seems to have calmed down a notch now seeing how reserved he truly is.
While he was standing in front of the mirror brooding his phone rang, he picked it up and then strolled into his home office to finish the call, after listening for a while he dropped the call.
Scott sat on his desk and turned on the laptop and went to work on the information he just got from his manager, who handles his arms business, Jakob called to brief him about the new arms that has been completed and sent to the warehouse, so he is trying to reach out to his buyers to inform them that their order is around and set.
So for like an hour he was having a skype meeting with his assistant and the buyers and by the time he was done it was already lunchtime and right on cue, there was a knock on his door, followed by a head looking into his office, the head belonging to his cook Frances," food is ready sir" he just nodded, massaging his neck to remove all the tension from it.
When he came out he went off to check on his son, who was awake and taking his daily bath, immediately he came close the child stopped crying and started looking up at him, he too stood there watching him, after the incidence of the child's death and resurrection, he has been a loss on what to do with the boy.
The nanny finished bathing him and cleaned his body with a towel and surprised Scott by handing the child to him
" Please help me hold him, he needs some warmth while I make his bottle"
She held the child until Scott took the baby then she turned away to make his bottle, immediately the baby touched Scott's body he froze and the boy looked up at him with his beautiful green eyes like his mothers, and Scott's heart melted, he held him closer still looking at the child, gradually his tension sipped out of him and he relaxes a bit and as if sensing how relaxed he is the boy smiled toothlessly.
" Geralt, I will name you Geralt my boy" and then the boy closed his eyes and slept off still smiling joyously, that was how laisha found them, she did a double-take surprised because she was worried that her boss's always stoic personality will scare the boy, but the reverse is the case, she stood with a huge smile on her face, as she quickly dropped all she was with so she can put the boy to sleep, but Scott shook his head at her and she left quietly still wearing that smile.
After closing the door laisha rested her back on it, more at ease now, she had always wondered what a man like him was doing with the child that young, and her heart warmed towards Scott.
" he has a very handsome soul, looks is deceptive"
And she walked away.
