Chapter 80

I came to the house to meet some commotion, I’d nothing to take home with me so I didn’t bring anything but just myself. I’d to come back here to the house, it was where I should be. That doesn’t mean I won’t be with my parents. I was still with them.

Tomorrow, was the new year festival. That we’d been planning. I had to come home because of that. So we could put things in other. And tomorrow would begin another season in our lives.

And I was here to have it all sorted out. But this wasn’t what I thought I was gonna see when I arrived and walked into the house.

There was a knife in the hands of Selina, which I’d gotten to know was her name. She was standing with Zane with the knife pointing at him. I halted on my track.

What was she trying to do?

Kill her son.

“..if you ain’t gonna accept me. I’m gonna kill him and kill myself. I loved you first! How could you forget about me!”

“I never loved you, Selina!” He yelled.

“It’s a lie! You fucking liar!”

“..and you better dropped the knife. If you hurt him I..”

“What are you gonna do? I kept him this long for this. I waited for you, I rejected my mate because of it. I don’t care anymore. I’m gonna end it all.. if you still not gonna..”

“You want me to push my mate aside and have you because of what? You gave me a son.”

“What is so difficult about it? Don’t you dare come close to me!”

“Don’t hurt my son..”

“What about me, why doesn’t anyone cares about me? I only care about you. And I waited for us to be together.”

She was crazy, why would she think of hurting her son, it kinda makes me doubt if he was truly her son. If he was, he shouldn’t be treated like that. Or this was the reason she had him in the first place an agenda for her plot. The reason she came here was because of this.

“...I swear I’m gonna kill him.”

“Calm down...”

Kill him? She should kill him, it’s her son. She’s the one who’s gonna lose the game. But still, I didn’t want her to hurt the boy because he was Zyair’s son not just hers.

“It’s a yes or no. Something ain’t too difficult for you Zyair. Are you gonna choose me and your son or you would let us go and have your mate?”

What a crazy bitch she was! I was already fed up with her. I couldn’t believe they stood rooted to the ground, listening to this crazy girl talk. Nobody could move because of the knife she held.

I shook my head. They hadn’t known I was in the house and was watching them. I’ve got enough of the crazy girl. I knew something was up with her. Her game hadn’t been successful because I woke up when she was hoping I shouldn’t. If there had been any means to hurt me she would’ve done so. Who knows if she wasn’t the one responsible for the vase that fell that day I came to the house? It would’ve fallen on my head and something bad would have happened to me. It could be possible it was her, because of the look she gave me that day. She’d been aware I was gonna come to the house that day and there she made something.

You could never trust her. She was the only one my instincts tells me. And now, she had proven it with her actions.

She wanted Zyair to leave me. If she could try to hurt her son, who am I?

“Stay away from me! Stay away!”

I moved toward her and hits her on her neck with my elbow. It was easier for me since she was backing me. I quickly dragged Zane and pulled him to my side. And hit her again on the back of her head. She fell with the knife.

Zane tagged behind me. I squat and grabbed her hair. Pulling it backward.

“Did you throw the vase at me?” I growled.

She snarled.

The fucking witch. I hit her head on the ground.

“Why didn’t you just die!” She shouted, and my knuckles turned white. She tried to use the knife on me but I held her hand and twisted them, kicking the knife off her hand.

“You ain’t gonna play these silly games. Not with me.”

I swiveled around to Zane and touch to be sure he was fine.

“Are you okay?” I asked him, and he nods, shaking his little head at me. He doesn’t deserve to get hurt by his mother’s madness.

Zyair came to us. And everyone did too, for a moment we all forgot about Selina being there. But after the child, making sure he was alright.

“He’s your son now huh?” We turned and in a flash, she came at me with the knife. I stood up and struggled with her. She was holding the knife so firm.

“That’s enough!” Am not sure she heard his voice because that wasn’t what he should be saying right now. Seeing how she was fighting to hurt me with the knife. I let go of my hold on her. She staggered forward while I quickly went behind her and pushed her with my feet and she fell on the knife.

It gave her a slight cut on her lower stomach.

“Take her away to the dungeon and have her locked up, now!” Zyair had Hans around Zane’s eyes. He shouldn’t be seeing something like this. I whispered to Creamy to take Zane away but the boy won’t go with him. So I went there instead. And he immediately grabbed my hoodie that I shouted to carry him. And I did, taking him in my arms.

Zyair smiled softly. He was all tired and weak, I wonder how long he’d been putting up with her.

I was going to take Zane away from there when she suddenly slumped from the hold of Franco and Cartel. I was shocked when I saw her fall.

“Call the physician immediately!”

Blood piled out of her mouth. I turned Zane’s head to the side. So he won’t get to see his mother that way.

“If I would get rejected, there was no life for me out there. I don’t need a physician. Take care of Zane. I thought things would change but guess I was all wrong to think about it that way..”

“She drank poison.” Creamy countered.

“I can’t live this kind of life. I was not even a good mother to Zane. All I wanted was to use him to get back at you...”

She was laying with her back on the ground and staring at the ceiling like it was the first time she was seeing something like this.

“Why did you try to kill me?”

“Why state the obvious? I wanted you gone.”

I scoffed. She deserves a good beating. But not having herself killed. She was just a psycho.

“I know Zane would be better off without me, I regretted keeping him. It’s all for nothing.”

Her eyes closed up. And she talked no more.

She wanted Zyair, wanted a family with him she didn’t even care there was not a chance now she still wanted to do something.

Zyair came to me and hugged me with Zane in my arms. He was Zyair’s son. He was mine too and maybe I would get to learn through him how to take care of a child before I could think of having mine.

His grip on me tightened and I smiled feeling his small hands on my body when Zyair hugged us.

“Thank you..” he kissed my forehead and hugged us again.

“I couldn’t ask for more.”

She was taken away by Franco and everyone left the room leaving us alone. I sat down with Zane on my thighs.

“Now that you’re free. There’s no stopping then.”

“What do you mean?”

“We could stay up all night on the bed. Naked.”

I slapped his shoulders with my jaw dropped.

“Don’t say that in front of a child!”

“He won’t know what I mean, it was because of him I said it that way. I want us to have twins or triplets.”

After what just happened, he could still talk like this. He just lost someone. His baby mama and he wants us to have triplets.

“What did you do to him that made him glue to you? He didn’t even cry after his mother.”

“I’ve my charm.” I winked at him making him chuckle.

“So I’m harmless?”

“You already know the answer to that.” He laughed. And for some moments, he didn’t say anything but watched me with so many affections in his eyes.

He touched my cheek with his hand and I leaned my face on the hand.

“I don’t care about others, the only one I could see is you. And my love for you is never gonna fail. Don’t ever doubt that.”

“And I want you to know that I’ll always have your back on anything. Because I would stand by you no matter what.”

“Till forever?”

“Till forever.”

And he sealed it with a kiss. And we’ve begun this journey of change with the ones we loved the most. The season where great things lie ahead of us. For Zyair, Zane, and me. And as well Creamy is always there to interrupt our moments.

We both laughed when he entered because we were expecting him to come into the room and he did.

For us, it all began at this point.

The life we all wanted.
