Chapter 56
I nodded my head slowly " I'm listening" . He turned to face me and he started telling me his story, something I had never imagined could have happened to him.
A story quite similar to mine.
He told me of how his mother, a naive young woman fell in love with his father, his mother as of then was a maid assigned personally to his father... along the line his young father fell in love with " the maid" and wanted her by his side, but his father's parents refused and said he could not marry a common maid and moreover they had someone in mind for him, he pleaded with his parents but instead they took out the anger on the poor maid, they blamed her for seducing their only son. She was punished and humiliated and was later sent away with nothing. But nobody knew she was pregnant.
Two years later his grandparents married a wife for his father, they tried having kids but nothing was happening they visited the best gynecologist but they kept on saying nothing was wrong with the both of them. His father's wife became worried and continued to make her research on top gynecologist around the world, then finally she found one in Noverich she read about how he had successfully dealt with similar cases so she booked an appointment online and told her husband. They both travelled to Noverich and that was where Drey's father was reunited with Deloris the maid he fell in love with.
He traced her to her house and found out she had a son. Drey.
At first he was heartbroken because he thought she had moved on with someone else and had even given birth to a son. He confronted her and she told him the child wasn't his, but something inside him disagreed with what she said and he asked for a DNA test but Deloris vehemently refused.
Drey's father came to the conclusion that the child was his and decided to take him along, he offered to also take Deloris with him she agreed only for her to flee with her son to another country. She used her life savings to buy flight tickets.
After months of searching for his son, James finally decided to go back to home, but he never gave up. He flew back with his wife Hulia to their country while he asked his men to keep searching for Deloris and his son... months later Hulia and James finally had a son Jayme, through the help of a surrogate mother. something was wrong with Hulia as she wasn't able to carry a baby in her womb, so they both agreed to birthing their child through the help of a surrogate.
Four years later James got a call from one of his men that they had located Deloris and his son. He asked his men to keep an eye on them as he flew to the the place, he took his son and offered to help Deloris find a good job if she came with him. She agreed and they all came back together.
Drey paused and looked at me. " that little boy is me " I looked intently into his eyes and asked " so where is the little boy's mother now?" He took in a sharp breathe and stood up.
