“Where’s my son!!” Xander asked again, standing still with his hands on his pocket
“Xander, he..
“Damn Becky ion like the response I’m getting from you, I asked a simple question where is my son where is he!!” This time he yelled her nĀ£Ā¢k and smatched her against the wall
“Just leave me and I’ll tell you” Becky coughed
“Becky!!” He growled and hit her, her glas-ses fell and his eyes wi-de-ned. He immediately stepped away from her
“Your eyes, why are they like that!” He asked
Anyone that sees Becky now will mistake her for an alien, her eyes are pure white, no trail of black in them
“This is the real me, this is who I am okay!! This is what your concubine poison did to me!!” She yelled out
Xander was quiet, Rosemary was the woman he do cheat on Becky with, to him Rosemary was his first real love and Becky was a f0rƧĀ£d marriage, he noticed he was being fool when he found out that Rosemary is married alre-ady and have a family with Charles
“She made me take this poison that day cause I was trying to do the right thing, she threatened me with yourfu-cking life and the life of my son if I don’t do what I did, she also had me..
Becky paused and breathed, letting her tears roll as she thought of that day
“She did this to you?” Xander asked
“I don’t care if you believe me or not, I’ll die soon and I’m well prepared so I’m gonna tell you where your son is but until then, you’ll have to promise me that you’ll take care of him, promise me that you’ll treat him well, you nee-d to treat him well Xander” Becky held the l@pels of his shi-t ti-ghtly and cried
Xander is still speechless so this was what she went throu-gh all these while, while he was thinking she was the bad person
“I promise” he muttered
“His name is Nelson, he took after you in the aspect of gaming, he values gaming more than his life but…” She trialed
“But what?” Xander asked
“Few days ago he had an accident and he lost his both hands” Becky bur-st out in tears
“Huh!!”
“Yes Xander he lost his both hands, he’ll never be able to game ever again” Becky yelled
“How does my son looks like??” Xander demanded
Becky sighed and went to her room, she brou-ght out a ha-rd copy ph0to
“This is him” she showed Xander
Xander took the ha-rd copy and stro-ke it, in the picture, Nelson is sitting and smiling and holding his game pad
“My son” Xander stro-ked the picture. Nelson looked exactly like him
“What hospital?” He demanded
“Yang care hospital” Becky replied sourly
Xander turned around and made to leave but Becky held him back
“plea-se don’t separate him from his sister, he has a sister and she cries every little thing. plea-se I beg of you, take it as my last wish I beg of you” she pleaded in tears
Xander gently re-moved her hands from his and shut his eyes ti-ght
“I know that you never really loved me but plea-se just for the few years we spent as married couples, just do me this favor, don’t separate him from his sister” she pleaded
Xander turned to stare at her,he held her shoulders and pu-ll-ed her close to himself
“I’ve always wronged you in your past, I was a very ruthless and selfish person who only care about himself, I cheated on you servally cause I saw you as a pain in the nĀ£Ā¢k, now you’re leaving and I don’t even know how to love you back, I guess I should be saying sorry” he said
Becky smiled as tears streamed down her white eyes
“I’ve always wanted to hear this, maybe in my next life I’ll get to find you again and I hope we love each other like normal couples do” she chuckled and broke the hvg
“How many days left?” He asked
“Not more than three days” she replied
“Your daughter”
“I sĀ£nt her out, she nee-ds to hate me so she won’t be to sad when I’m gone” Becky shurgged
“I’ll get going now” Xander said, Becky nodded and watched him leave
**************
YANG CARE HOSPITAL***
Xander got in, he got greeted by the reception but he ignored
“Brother, you’re back from Paris” doctor Yang asked, coming out of his office
“There’s a patient here that lost his both hand, where is he?” Xander ignored doctor Yang question and asked his own
“Woah, is this how to greet your junior brother you haven’t seen for years, you really can’t change” doctor Yang chuckled
“You’re not a kid Yang, you’re 35 for crying out loud go and get married and stĀ©p bothering me, I’ll ask for the last time, where is that patient that lost his arms” Xander asked
“At the 8th room. Kim esc-rt my brother plea-se” Yang sighed and left for his office
“This way sir” the female doctor bowed and led the way
..
Nelson is slee-ping alre-ady, Xander slowly stepped in, he looked at the picture and looked at Nelson
The Nelson he’s seeing is looking more handsome than the picture, slowly Xander brou-ght his hands to ca-ress Nelson’s face
“My son” he muttered in tears
For years he has been recovering from those stabs Becky gave him, finally he’s fully recovered and he’s back for his son
“He looks just like me” Xander muttered then stood up and went to doctor Yang office
“His hands, are they permanently damaged?” He asked
“Why do you care so much?” Yang asked back
“Just answer me, are his hands permanently damaged!” Xander asked again
“Yes they are” Yang replied
“There’s nothing else we can do?” He asked
“Well we can fix a new hand for him, I’m talking about an electronic arm, it fit perfectly with his but his mom didn’t approve of it” Yang shurgged
“Electronic arms, side effects” Xander asked
“Becomes weak when it don’t charge, it can harm you if you stress it too much, but is has a lot of benefit, once you start training it’ll master it, it’s a quic-k learner, it can also charge your gadgets for you” Yang replied
“You said it fits him perfectly right?” Xander asked
“Ofcourse when I saw his hands I noticed it’s the same size with it so yeah”
“Right, we’ll fix that arm and he’ll start tomorrow” Xander said
“But he’s mom…
“I’m his father darn it!” Xander yelled
“What!!”

NEXT MORNINGā¢
ANDRE’S MANSION***
Miranda is dressed in an expensive dress heels makeup and hair style, Andre had promised to take her to his office today
“Alright mom are you re-ady?” Andre asked climbing down the stairs
“Yes son, let’s go can’t wait to see your company” Miranda cl@pped
“Alright” Andre chuckled and held her hand. They both stepped out together
“Before we go can we visit a worker of mine at the hospital, he just lost his both hands” Andre muttered
“That’s awful how old is he?” Miranda asked
“He’s just 18, this life is so sad. And that boy could have had a bright future, you should see him pl@ymom” Andre sighed
“Let’s go see him, I also wanna pay my respect” Miranda said entering the car, Andre entered to and drove out but they didn’t go far when they saw Becky blocked their path
Andre sighed and c@mĀ£ down, he moved to Becky
“What is it, I thought we made it clear that we’ll never cross path with each other again” he said
“I know but it’s urgent, I nee-d to speak with your mom or don’t you wanna know who your brother is anymore” Becky asked
“Make me un-derstand what you’re trying to say” Andre clenched his fist ti-ght as he spoke
“I’m saying that I gave found your brother” Becky said
“Where is he don’t tell me you’re trying too…
“Why are you taking so long” Miranda c@mĀ£ down from the car and looked at Becky with crossed arms
“I’m telling you guys that I have found Louis” Becky replied
“If you’re trying to joke with us then stĀ©p it” Miranda said between gritted teeth
“I’m not, I personally have him a mark at the back of his nĀ£Ā¢k to recognize him someday in the future and I saw him” Becky replied
“Who’s he, tell us who?” Andre asked
“I’ll tell you only if we can talk this pri-vately, and only if Miranda forgives me” Becky replied
“Forgive is an un-derstatement, ion think that will happen anytime soon” Miranda shurgged
“I really didn’t mean to betray you I was blackmailed, I had no choice,” Becky said
“You could have come back to help, but you choose to stay silent for 18 years” Andre crossed his arms
“That’s why I wanna tell you guys what actually happened since I don’t have much time to live” Becky sighed
“What do you mean?” Miranda asked
“My days are numbered, I’ll die in two days time so I wanna say the truth of what really happened” Becky replied and sat on the pole, she began telling them everything
Miranda and Andre felt bad as they heard the story, Miranda tried not to but tears kept coming out of her eyes
“About your son” Becky looked at both of them
“He has a star at the back of his nĀ£Ā¢k, a tiny black star, he’s d@t!ngmy daughter” she said
“Black star at the back of his nĀ£Ā¢k?” Andre thought then his mind driffted to Alex
“Alex also has a black star at the back of his nĀ£Ā¢k, it can’t be” he muttered
*****************
THE RICHMONDS***
“Mom did you use my girly curly again?” Luna asked, coming out of her room
“Yes baby I’m sorry for taking it without asking it’s in my room” Isabella replied from the kitchen where Nina is helping make breakfast
“Where exactly?” Luna frowned
“My drawal, I’m sorry I’m sorry” Isabella cried childishly while Nina chuckled
“Urgh” Luna exclaimed and stormed into her parents room
“What exactly is Alex doing inside?, I thought you went to call him?” Isabella face Nina and asked
“When I went to his room I met him at the shower, he said he’ll be out in a few” Nina shurgged and tasted the soup
“Nina dear, are yo planning to ignore your mother for long, don’t you miss her, won’t you say hi to her” Isabella asked
“Shh, if she really misses me then she’ll call right?, But seems like she don’t and if she don’t I don’t either, I’ll never see her till she tell me the truth” Nina scoffed
“I just think you two should try to talk things out, you know it’s bad for daughters and mothers too…
Isabella stĀ©pped talking when she remembered something
“No” she shook her head and rushed to her room
“Aunty” Nina called and followed
..
Isabella opened her room door to see what she feared the most
Earlier when Luna had come here to look for her girly curly in the drawal like her mother said, she found something else
It was an envelope that’s slightly opened, the ti-p of a picture was slightly expo-sed, thinking it was one of her mom wedding pics, she drew it out
It wasn’t a wedding pic, infact she didn’t know what it is, it was a pic of a baby, a woman and a six years old boy
The baby looked like Alex, she opened the envelope and took the file that was inside, she couldn’t believe her eyes
It was an adoption file, the name Louis was written on it, d@tĀ£ of adoption was April 3rd, Alex birthday, everything in the paper was signed properly my her mom and dad
“Luna” Isabella called
“Explain this mom, what’s the meaning of this?” Luna asked with teary eyes
“I…
“This is clearly an adoption application form, so Alex is not my brother??” Luna asked with teary eyes
“What?” Nina who was standing behind them screamed
“Wait I can explain…
“Explain what mom” that voice made all of them turn around
“What can you explain?” Alex repeated, standing akimbo with a serious look on his face.
