Chapter-45

Riccardo's POV:

Flashback,

I warned, "Find my shipment... be ready be one of those missing files around the television..."

I walked out of the room, getting to the main lobby of the hotel. I am stressed, but more about my wife. This kind of loss in nothing to me, but the one who did it should be punished, then rest can be handled, I cannot let the culprit go easy, there is no next time for them.

I felt someone bumping into me, Fred guard me. I removed my gun and pointed it at the person. It middle of the night, seems like they decided to target me at this time, but who dares to!!!

I pointed the gun at the man, nothing he was doing the same, his hands were covered him blood.

He seemed hurt, he was holding something closer to himself. His eyes lost the panic as he saw me, but his gun never got down.

He leaned against the wall as he warned, "You saw nothing.... Valentine...."

Fred whispered, "Greg De Luca, Morris's right hand...."

Yea... I remember that face, I won't deny, this is Seth Morris territory, he rules this country, while I am abroad, but it doesn't make me weak.

I smirked, How dare he point gun on me?!!!

I will kill this peasant right here!!!

Greg moved back holding something in his jacket, hugging it with his one hand, while his other hand was bleeding bad and holding the gun.

I was about to pull the trigger on Greg's attitude, but I heard a cry. My eyes went bigger as I realized it was small child.

Greg slid down the wall in pain, he sat down begging the child, "Please.... stop.... you are safe with me....."

Greg's eyes met mine and he was in protective mode, he looked at me still pointing the gun at me.

I looked at Fred he was stunned, he said, "A... baby..."

I couldn't be more surprised, Fred's hands gave up, then and then only I realized how injured he was.

Fred rushed to him, trying to help him, he asked, "Gred!!!..can you hear me?!!!"

']-Greg had his eyes on me, I walked to him sitting to his level, asking, "Who is this child?... what happened to you?"

Did Seth Morris did this? Or who else will dare to put hands on his Right hand?

Greg thought for second, I had a proper look at the child, he is new born anyone can tell that.

But why would a new born end up in such situation?

I asked, "Why you have this child?" I had gun on his head, I knew he won't speak a word.

He looked at the child then at me, but I only saw determination.

But he said, "Mine.... I got attacked .... my son...."

I looked at the child, somehow I don't believe him. I noticed the hospital band on the babies leg. I was quick to read 'Vanessa Morris'

Mother's name is Vanessa Morris. I realized whose child is he.

I said out looking at Greg hold he hospital band, "Morris... is it?"

Greg looked at the child as he said, "Master Seth Morris's son..... they are in danger...... I need help...."

He said this as if he knew only I could shield this child.

Greg said, "He ... is missing.... they took Madam.. Vanessa.... They are .... after the child... save it,... Master Morris.. will never forget this... I .. I promise..."

I smirked, Like I care, what his Master Morris thinks.

But the child, he started crying as if he wanted to live, feel safe.

What as this child done in this, he barely knows how to breathe.

I picked the child from Greg's arms, the child was looking at me with his big eyes, he seemed to forget his little cried.

I said to Fred, "take both of them back... we are going back.... and not a single soul should know about this... and now they are under my protection...."

End of Flashback

I sat in my study as I said, "Find.... Seth Morris.... now!!... What happened to him!"

Fred said, "I had looked into it..... He was in the car crash.... they found a body there... he is facing a revolt... and most likely dead..."

I smirked, I whispered, "He is not dead..... if he was... then.... then the old man Max... he would have done something.... Seth Morris is far from dead....."

Fred said, "His wife is missing..... and bout that child... how long is he going to stay here?" I know, but it's the best choice for everyone.

I said, "We just need to wait and watch....."

I heard the door open, I knew it was her or else who dares to come in my study like this.

Fred looked at me, I signaled him to leave. I knew she was angry on me, but I was amazed how found of that child is she, that child is here for just 2 days, and I feel like Cherish is giving him all her attention.

She looks at me like she wants to talk about something, I know that look, but why is she hesitating. I picked the coffee up as I said, "What you want, love?"

She said playing with finger, "I should be talking to you only if I need something...."

I met her eyes, god! My heart skipped a beat. I can do anything to see those eyes look at me. I haven't got time to apologize to her since this mess, I knew she was waiting for that date and... and I left her in middle.

I said, "Love...." I stretched my hands so she can rush in an embrace. She looked away sitting on the table, she said, "I am still angry...."

I sat back looking at her, I smirked, She looks adorable. She turned to me as she said, "tell me.... you are sorry.. and you will never let our dates in middle?"

I smiled looking down, I looked back at her composed, I said, "Ok.... I am sorry, my wife.... and I will manage more time for you.... Happy...."

She got down on her feet rushing to hug me, heavens!

She was on me embracing me, while I was embracing her back. I missed her. She was sitting on my lap, I was fixing her hair, then I couldn't resist I placed a kiss on her lips.

She seemed to be edger too. I heard her beep go on, she said, "Oh!.... baby Ares.... it's about time to change his diaper.... I will tell the maids...."

She was about to leave but I pulled my arms around her, I complained, "Your attention is mine... not that son of a bastard..."

She glared at me, she said, "Don't say thing about My Ares..."

Her Ares....

It bothers me, yea... maybe because she is giving him too much attention, or because she will not like when the baby leaves.... What will I do then?

I said stern stopping her, "You should remember, that child is not yours neither mine... do not worry about him too much, there are maids for him.... he doesn't need your attention...."

She kept looking at me angry, I tried to take sip of the coffee when I heard her, "I need Breast Milk!"

I started chocking on the coffee, spitting it all out in a second. She stood up from me trying to help me, handing the glass of water.

I kept coughing as I met her eyes.

I asked, "You... What you said?... you want what?"

Her cheeks turned, She still said bolt, "Breast Milk...."

I looked at her chest in surprise. She wants what?

I noticed she followed my stunned gaze, she looked away cover herself with her hands, she said, "Pervert!!.. not mine..."

I looked at her face like an dumb idiot, Cherish said, "Ares... isn't a fan of formula..... and doctor said he is too young you know, he needs breast milk... so can you arrange some...."

I looked away as I said, "From where I will get... get.... that milk..."

Cherish said, "Amm... I saw on the internet.... people buy it... or donate it... maybe we can arrange...."

I said, "Whatever I will ask Fred..."

I saw her about to leave, I grabbed her again as I said, "Don't hide yourself from me.... I can see everything... I Have that right....."

Around Midnight,

I found our room empty, Where is she?

I got busy, I thought she was asleep.

But somehow I knew where she was, I walked to the other room, finding her sleeping on the sofa next to the crib.

Why is she worrying about the child so much?

You said you hate kids, turns out you are just afraid to love them.

I had a glance at the child in the crib, the child was sleeping peacefully.

The maid stood behind me, I knew when I heard footsteps. She said, "Sir... you need anything?"

I asked, "since when is she here....."

The maid looked at Cherish as she said, "Ma'am.. Ma'am is here since evening.... she helped fed the baby, then... ... she said she will look after him..."

I sighed, this is bad.... she shouldn't be attached to the child. She will be sad in the end. Seems like it is too late.

I asked, "How is the child?"

The maid said, "The.... child... He is fine now, he seems to sleep better with breast milk...."

I said to the maid, "Leave.... I will stay the night here..." I closed the door, walking back to my beautiful wife.

I smiled on her innocent face, she looks more innocent than the baby.

I gently picked her up from the sofa, then placing her in the bed. She got comfortable quick enough, after covering her with the comforter I made sure the baby looks comfortable.

I have nothing against this child but I pity it, it's a harsh start for life.

And importantly my wife has a liking for this little thing, I surely don't want this thing to wake her up in middle of the night..... Most likely it will.

I got comfortable beside her, embracing her. If my life goes like this, what else I will ask for?

I whispered, "Don't get attached to that thing... Please...."
