Chapter-47

Cherish's POV:

Few days later,

I heard like screaming from the main area of the palace, I subconsciously walked there knowing they will take up Ares, I am furious.

As I approached the fight, I heard them scream. Riccardo had an angry expression, he looked away like he didn't wanted me to witness this.

I warned Riccardo, "Why you are doing this to Greg, he is injured!" Like I reminded him the broken arm of our guest. Seriously he is acting like a child.

This person saved Ares, Riccardo needs to control his temper.

I heard Greg spitting angrily, "Let it be Mrs. Valentine.... but your husband can't hide us for long.... Master Morris will take his belongings from here..."

I was stunned but more confused.... What hide and .... what belongings?

Riccardo warned him, "I have no intensions of keeping you all on my estate.... but neither I want your Master's feet on my property..."

Greg barked back, "You have his son here... and you are hiding him!!! stop this act!!!!... You want something out of this situation, then just ask for it!!!"

Greg seemed disgusted. I looked at Riccardo in disbelief... No.. this is not true, why will Riccardo want to hide Ares?

I heard Riccardo, "You and your Master are no worth to give me anything!!!!... Remember if I didn't let that child here.... then that thing could be dead!!!"

I warned on his words, "Don't talk about Ares like that!!!... he is jus a baby... and you were not trying to find his parents... but hide him!!!... are you... this greedy...."

Riccardo faced me, he said, "Wife... at least for once, pretend to be on my side... you don't understand why I do things this way.... stay out of it..."

He literally said that to me, how dare he...

I whispered, "Everything should profit you... from this marriage to saving a child... shame on you..."

He seemed to displeased and hurt by my words, Riccardo got bit closer as he said, "Wife.... you are talking nonsense at this point... for someone who is not related to u... you should put trust in me..."

I scoffed I am getting really angry now, I said, "Trust?! Come on... I don't need this... you know Cherish Derosa never trust anyone .... I do not need your money or you... I can take care of Ares on my slef..."

Riccardo pulled me closer to himself losing mind on my words, he almost warned, "Cherish Valentine .... that what you are now... Mrs. Cherish Riccardo Valentine... do you get it?... My dear wife...."

I was looking at his angry eyes, wanting him to cool down. But his actions are making me hesitant.

I heard maid, "Sir.. a helicopter...."

I turned to Riccardo again, questioning this. Greg had the most proud smile on his face, he said, "You didn't wanted him in your house... too bad.. since you have his son he is here...."

Riccardo smirked back, "If he walks in here... then he is on my mercy... you don't seem to know me..."

I realized what was going on, my mind ran to the result of the situation now.

So, Ares's father is here.... to take him....

My heart was getting heavy, my mind was numbing....

Soon, I was, a tall good looking man walking in, his style was exceptional, but I could read the worried expression he had.

I knew he was searching for someone.

I stayed silent, I noticed the women coming in with him, she had delicate features, and brown hair, her eyes were looking for someone, her beauty was tainted with worry. But that still made her pop up.

I had a glance at Riccardo he looked really serious, while I was reliving this for like too long. I was scared, I was hoping I was wrong.

But I knew she was Ares's mother...... Ares's mostly looks like his father, but there is hit of his mother in his eyes, I can tell that.

I gulped the pain gathering in my throat, I noticed Riccardo was looking at me stern, I knew he was worried. I can tell that.

I looked down hiding it, I don't want to weak. I cannot stand in between a mother and a son.....

Riccardo was right, I shouldn't have been attached to Ares... I was going to lose him one day.

But I never regret it.. He needed me, I was there for him.

Greg and Mr. Morris had a small reunion handshake. And Mr. Morris and his wife talked with Riccardo a few words.

While my ears were never close to it. I wanted to be near Ares as much as time I could get. I am not that selfish to pull him to me when I knew I have no right.

But Vanessa's words caught my ears, "Mr.... Where is my baby?... how is he?"

I felt the pain in her voice, I whispered putting on a brave face, "I will ask the nanny to bring him...." I pulled my biggest smile.

I still felt Riccardo's eyes, he looked down as if he knew what I was trying to do... and how I felt....

Soon, Vanessa was caressing Ares, and he seemed comfortable like he knew that touch. That motherly love, did I lack to give him something? I questioned myself.

Why it hurts so much~

I knew this day was coming....

I realized I can never replace a mother.... no matter how much I care....

But final these words cracked my heart, I heard Vanessa, "We... We finally have our Alan back..." She kissed Ares's arm

I whispered subconscious, "Alan..."

My heart scattered, she was calling him something else, while I thought him of mine, and named him. I felt like I was being robbed of the moments I had with this child.

Like I stood there like an outsider.

My fist was in tight hold, My eyes were moist, but I couldn't say anything. I had no right to do that. For the first time felt the real helplessness.

I looked down fearing I will ruin this mother child moment, with my pain.

Until I heard Riccardo, "I can demand for anything in return ..... Right Mrs. Morris?" he asked this to Vanessa when she thanked him on saving Ares.

Riccardo looked at me as he said, "His name is Ares...."

I looked at Riccardo surprised, but a warmth filled my heart.

He said further, "Cherish took care of this child with her whole heart.... she named him even when I told her not too... That's all I want... My wife's efforts to be recoginized... and her wish to be fulfilled...."

I looked at Riccardo as I was out of words, I am touched. I want to cry but I couldn't.

I am just so thankful he mentioned it when I lost my words.

He said looking in my eyes from distance, "You have to agree.... without my wife's care this child won't be this cared for... She named him Ares... That a a request from us... keep the name..."

Vanessa looked at me as she said, "That's perfect name, Ares Alan Morris... that you Cherish..."

I smiled looked at Ares, but I did put it on forgetting about Ares leaving today, I am just thankful Ares will be Ares.

He will have his real parents what else will I want.

I stayed near him for few more moments I got with him.

I smiled as I saw him in my arms for a final time, I never felt this kind of heaviness in my heart. I want to cry protest, but I didn't get right over it.

Rules are rules ..... A person like me should have at least few rules... Sometimes things are not according to me, because I have no right over them.

Like same... I have no real Rights over Ares.

I saw him leave with his mother in front of me, my smile was too heavy to hold still. I looked at them aimless.

Like I had nothing left to do.

They took Ares like that.... just like that....

I took my steps away from the scene, it was too much to see that happen.

I wish he will be happy, I wish if he could remember me. I wish, they love him more than I do.

Hours later,

I took my the balcony in my room, I kept my eyes on the distant tree, like no other thing mattered.

I sighed, holding myself tighter. I miss him already so much.

I felt Riccardo's arms around me, he back hugged me as he whispered, "You ok?"

I didn't bothered to say anything, Riccardo whispered, "I am proud of you..." He kissed my head.

My eyes flooded, like everything I was holding in just went out of my hands. Riccardo was right, I got really attached to Ares.

I missed him so damn much.

I started to sob, He turned me to him as he said, "Love..." he looked concerned.

He made me look at him, while I kept my gaze off him, I whispered, "I miss him...."

I wanted to protest them when they took him, but his mother looked more desperate that me.

Vanessa needs her son, but don't I loved him equally.

For the first time I didn't act on my selfish instincts.

And it is tearing my heart.

Riccardo picked me up, placing me on the bed, he embraced me in his arms as he said, "You will be fine... I am here...."

I cried more, I whispered, "He will be better there..."

I felt Riccardo rubbing my back, he whispered, "Don't cry.... please.... I am here.... he will be fine.... Cherish love... please...."

I hugged him tighter, I miss him so much!!!
