Meeting Again 64-Finding Home III
The question was so out of the blue that for a few seconds my brain stopped functioning. I have never told Tanya that Fred had feelings for me, but she is stuck on the idea ever since she saw him and Robbie in the restaurant. No matter what I told her, she is fixated on that. Now how do I explain why I chose Robbie? I chose him because I loved him. I bonded with him because I wanted him to be a part of my life, but of course, never did I think such a twist would happen in my life. The reason I couldn't choose Fred, even though he loved me, was because I didn't want to hurt him. I couldn't reciprocate his feelings, and I felt it was unfair to be with him when I don't feel the same for him. I felt he deserved better. How do I explain all this to Tanya? She was looking at me with wide, curious eyes like a kid. I sighed as I arranged my thoughts, "Why are you asking? In fact, why do you even think that Fred has anything for me?" I asked Tanya, trying to change the topic. "Because I am n
Meeting Again 65-Trust & Bond
Our trip back home was quite uneventful. Fred got very close to Mr. Jonas, and they both even hugged before parting. Tanya and Fred left on friendly terms, except Fred stood at one hand distance from her. It looked strange that they were speaking in such a friendly way from such a distance. Twen woke up after a short nap and was offered ice cream, which he happily gobbled up. Tanya came and hugged me before saying with a wide smile on her face, "Thank you so much for coming. See you tomorrow at work." "See you! Happy birthday again!" I smiled, hugging her back. Robbie gave Tanya a short one-handed hug and asked her to take care while Mr. Jonas shook hands with him, and Mrs. Teena said warmly to all of us, "All of you, visit us again. I would love to have you all back." We all smiled and reassured her that we would come again. Tanya has got such a lovely family. I looked back at them waving at us without being able to hide my longing. I quickly shook my head and reminded myself th
Meeting Again 66-Rendezvous
"You seem to be more attached to your mother than your dad," I told Robbie as I slowly opened the window to his car. "Yeah!" Robbie answered, shifting the gear. Twen was sitting in the backseat leaning on the seat playing some games on Robbie's cell. Earlier yesterday, we told him that we would be meeting his grandmother today. I was a little worried that he would deny the meeting since he didn't show any emotion on getting the news. He remained quiet for a little while and only asked if it is his grandmother who wishes to meet him. Robbie patted his head and said that she is dying to meet him. To which he simply shrugged and said, "Okay." I am not sure if he is happy with the meeting or not, but hopefully, Robbie's mother can make him happy. I looked at the road as we entered the bypass. It is full of cars, after all, it is a Saturday. Most jobs have half-day work, during the evening, roads are very congested. I turned my eyes away from the road and asked Robbie hesitatingly, "Do
Meeting Again 67-Call me mom
The woman who just walked in has the same pitch-black curly hair (tied in an elegant bun) and gray eyes like that of Robbie's. However, unlike him, she has an oval face, a soft, kind mouth, and a glowing wheatish complexion. She is quite short with a lean structure, but her presence is quite large. She has the word 'class' written in every nook and cranny of her stature. It is so profound that even some of the cafe's customers turned to look at her. My jaw dropped on seeing Mrs. Walker. Not only is she a beauty, but she barely looks thirty. Had I not known she was Robbie's mother, I would have thought she was Robbie's sister. Mrs. Walker is such a sophisticated and classy lady that I suddenly felt under-dressed. Even in her hurried and exhausted form, she still managed to look very elegant. I was completely tongue-tied on seeing her. Robbie got up and hugged her, chirping, in a happy tone, "Mum, sorry to call you when you're so busy." She patted his back with a bright smile, "Absol
Meeting Again 68-Apology
I stared. I forgot what I wanted to say. At Tanya's birthday dinner, I thought Tanya's envy of having two people love her was silly. Since she is young and will definitely find someone who will love her sincerely. While I felt deeply jealous of her having such loving and caring parents who never saw her omega status as a burden or abandoned her, I believed that the void left by my parents abandoning me was impossible to fill. I suddenly felt that hole in my heart fill up when Mrs. Walker asked me to call her 'Mom'. I forgot that not all relations in this world are formed through blood. My eyes started welling up. I quickly looked down to hide my tears. I heard Mrs. Walker's tensed voice, "Did I offend you? I apologize-" "NO!" I said, raising my head and looking at her beautiful face with teary eyes, "I am just too overwhelmed by your words. I have not seen my parents ever since high school...." I choked on my words. The tensed look on Mrs. Walker's face relaxed to one of sympathy.
Meeting Again 69-Instinct
On our way back, Robbie had a constant smile on his face. I narrowed my eyes and asked, "What's with all the smiles?" Robbie gave me a quick cheeky glance and said with a chuckle, "I told you my mum is awesome!" I couldn't deny it. She really is an amazing woman. I smiled, rubbing my nose, "She is. She holds no prejudice against omegas like most Alphas do and is so kind and graceful." "Of course, she is!" Robbie exclaimed proudly. "Can we meet her again?" I asked, looking at Robbie with puppy dog eyes. "Mum already gained two fans on her very first meet," he said, rolling his eyes, "Well, she is usually very busy with her designs and business and has to go out of the country often too. Don't worry, we will find time to meet her. I am sure she will like it too." I leaned back on my seat, feeling very full and warm for the first time in forever. The rest of the journey went quietly till we reached my quarter. Twen had already fallen asleep in the back seat after getting tired of p

I slammed the breaks right outside Grey Mount School. No sooner had the car stopped did I come running to the school gate where a nervous-looking Sam was talking to the guards brandishing something on his cell phone. On getting closer I saw Sam holding Twen's picture in front of the guard and asking him something. I held Sam's arm and almost cried out the words,"Where is he? Where did he go?"Instead of Sam, the guard answered, looking at me apologetically, "I apologize, sir, but I am not aware where your son is. Several kids came and went. I can't keep an eye on everyone."I glared at the security. What do you mean you can't keep an eye on everyone? That's precisely your job!! I said, trying to keep my temper in check, "My son wouldn't have left the gates if Sam hadn't come to pick him up. I am sure of it. I hope you don't hand kids over to just about anyone!!""Tony, calm down. Blaming the security won't solve anything. Let's check the security cameras near the school gates. We mig
Meeting Again 71-Message
Robbie's POVThe moment I got off the phone with Tony, I saw Jane hurrying towards me. The full impact of the situation was yet to hit me. I was already getting a feeling of something like bile rising from the pit of my stomach. I was thankful when Jane interrupted my thought process, otherwise, I would have started acting out."Mr. Walker, Mr. Mandes is very concerned as you le-" Jane started when I interrupted."Book me the earliest air ticket you can get for Warham right now!" I said as I started hurrying towards the exit of the restaurant, we were in.Jane's mouth fell open at my instructions. She quickly recovered and ran behind me, stammering as she spoke, "Mr. Walker… Mr. Walker...Y-you haven't finished... Mr. Walker... what about the… Please, Mr. Wal-""JANE...Do what I said and wrap up the meeting. Tell them that I have left as I had some urgent business to attend to," I said as I got out of the restaurant and gave my keys to the valet there."But sir, Mr. Mandes wants to set

(A short summary on the lives of all)( 5 months after the events of chap 98)Tony and Robbie happily married with the blessing of Ashley and his well-wishers. Tony sent the wedding invitation to his parents too against Robbie's wishes. Tony simply said,"They are the reason, I am in this world, they are the reason I met you, so no matter how much they despise me, I still want them to be part of my happiness"Robbie acknowledged that he could never win Tony with words! Tony was even prepared to forgive Mr. Walker's horrid deed, as he didn't want Robbie to be deprived of his father, however, Robbie straight off refused it."He had never been much of a father to me. He treated Roger more dearly than me" Robbie said with a slight tinge of despair.Tony never raised the topic again. He didn't want to see Robbie hurting. Twen and Robbie finally got time to bond. Twen, though very reserved in the beginning, slowly started opening up to Robbie's constant trying. Robbie made a fixed time for

Fred's POVNot even a month back in La Costa and I received a marriage invitation from Tony! Do you call it fate? I looked at the invitation feeling an odd sensation running through me. I can't pinpoint what feeling it was but I can describe it through an example. It was like seeing off your parents at the train station when you leave the house for the first time. As the train slowly picks up speed, you see your parents slowly disappearing from your view and an odd sensation settles in your heart. It was the very same sensation that was passing through me.I was due to return in a few days but now somehow, I just didn't feel like returning. I put the invitation beside me and looked at my half-filled restaurant, towards the customers who were enjoying their snacks, laughing cheerfully with their friends and family. I don't know why, the scenario, though beautiful, made me unhappy, so, I settled at staring outside the restaurant towards the sandy beach.A lot of thoughts were running th
Meeting Again 78-Bittersweet
Robbie's POVTanya had been inside Tony's room for quite sometime. I wonder what's going on. Hopefully, she can talk him out of his miserable state of mind. I had been quite useless in that regard. Twen was sitting on mum's lap reading a book. He had been getting very impatient waiting to see Tony,"Granny Ash, why can't I see mommy?" Twen asked in an upset voiceMum patted his head, "Honey, your mum is a little busy. His friend had come to visit him"Twen blinked innocently, "Friend? Is it Uncle Fred?"Mum laughed breezily, "No it's Tanya. Do you wanna meet her too?" mum asked to see Twen's upset expression replaced with a bright look.Mum just mentioned it and I heard a click on the door. Tanya came out along with Tony who looked extremely nervous. Before I could react, Twen bounced down my mum's lap and cried excitedly,"Mommy!!"Tony's anxious expression cleared on seeing Twen. Twen went running to him followed by my mum and wrapped his little arms round his waist. I saw Tony smil
Meeting Again 77-Alone
Robbie's POVNext DayAs Mr. Olsen said, there was nothing found in the ruins of the house of Emaulsen, neither in Tony's blood-stream nor Twen. Though chloroform (it was banned in our country, and so, was illegal) was applied on Twen, its quantity was just enough for anesthetic purposes and because of its property of not staying in body for long, no trace was found. It was the same with Tony. The only medicine detected was NSAIDs drugs or in other words, just simple ibuprofen usually used for ridding of hangovers and was legal. The trace of the very same drug was also found in the glass that was collected from ruins. There was nothing whatsoever to prove Mr. Olsen's guilt or association with illegal drugs. It was so frustrating that I ended up wall punching and injuring my already injured hands (because of rashly breaking a wine glass) and ended up being scolded by mum.Fred who too came to meet Tony along with Sam, who was in the same hospital as Jenny, were all as frustrated as I w
Meeting Again 76-a small win
Robbie's POVI don't know why the idea of being unclean had lodged in Tony's head. Why would he think that just because of what happened I would look down on him or not see him as fitting to be my partner? I am not one of those outdated person who thinks only virgin guy and girls are pure and clean. But most unfortunately, our society had always promoted such inferior ideas. And many of the men have even gobbled down that idea without once thinking how demeaning and downgraded the thought was. But maybe Tony's case was different. It might be the shock of what happened rather than the society's regressive ideologies. But I won't let him wallow in self hatred and disgust.1I calmed him a bit, though, he was still looking disturbed. I made him close his eyes and lean on the seat for rest. Closing the SUV's door of backseat, I took long strides to where Fred was. He looked extremely mad about something. I have to stop him before he ends up doing something and landing himself in jail. I h

Warning: Mention of physical, emotional and mental abuse; Strong LanguageRobbie's POV"What the hell are you doing here?" Fred grumbled the moment I slammed the door to his SUV, "And why did y-""Start driving. We don't have time to chit chat!" I said, hmphing irritably"You're one to talk! You wasted fifteen damn minutes dragging me and the cops here," Fred complained, giving a furtive look at the cops."There is a reason for that! So, where is that jacka*s?" I asked in a low growl, also eyeing the two cop cars behind in the rear-view mirror."Here," Fred said, placing his cell phone under my nose and stamping on the accelerator at the same time.I looked at the location. My eyes widened. No wonder Mr. Olsen is confident that no one will be able to locate him. I grumbled agitatedly,"The ruined mansion of Emaulsen!""What? What's that?" Fred asked while quickly taking his cell phone back to navigate the route and gesturing to the cops to follow his car."That's Olsen's paternal hous

Robbie's POVI stood there bewildered at dad's reply. How could he just lie like that? If he doesn't know anything, then why did the kidnapper make a stop in front of our villa? To admire it? Mum felt suspicious too. She asked in a firm tone,"Ric, a child's life is in danger, and he also happens to be your grandson-""I have no grandson," Dad interrupted mum, eyeing her with cold fury."I don't care whether you see him as your grandson or not, but he is my son! I won't let you harm him," I said, gritting my teeth and stepping forward, looking at dad with rage.Dad raised an eyebrow, speaking each word with the chilliness of the north pole, "You think I would do such lowly things like harming a boy!""If you did not make my son disappear, then why the hell did the kidnapper stop here?" I asked in an equally cold voice."What nonsense!!" Dad burst out, slamming the desk and glaring at me."It's not nonsense, dad. The kidnapper's car was caught on traffic surveillance and shown to make
Meeting Again 73-What do you want?
Warning: Mention of drugs, hints of sexual abuse, Kidnapping, & strong languageI felt like someone kicked me in the guts. I looked at him wide-eyed in disbelief. This guy, a member of the congress, a well-known television face, a politician, and a friend of Robbie's dad, he ordered my son's abduction?? Why?? Just because I fell on him!?"I can see a lot of questions on your face," he chuckled again, "I am sure rather than answers to those questions, this is what you want to see," he said, pulling out his cell phone, tapping something on it quickly, and turning the screen towards me.From this distance, I could see nothing. I left the headboard and dragged my feet to the end of the bed. As I reached close, I saw Twen on the screen."TWEN!!" I screamed and staggered towards the armchair, falling face forward on the floor.I heard a creak as Mr. Olsen got up from the chair and walked towards me. I looked up, sitting on my knees. He held out the cell phone to my face, where I saw Twen sl
Meeting Again 72-Not Tony too
It was only an hour-long flight, but it felt like an eternity. Once I landed in Warham, I quickly proceeded to take a cab. Since my return was sudden, my car was not prepared ahead of time. I wanted to go meet Tony first. But at the moment, my mind was so absorbed in my suspicions over dad that I first wanted to run and confirm whether it was him. If it were him, then I would get Twen back. I just couldn't bring myself to believe that dad could have fallen so low. Today's altercation between us might as well be the end of our relationship as well as my mum's too. I feel unbearably guilty of pulling mum into this as well, but there is no other choice. Mum tried her best to maintain the happy family image before me so that I don't feel sad or isolated. Yet, today many people have suffered because of my choices. Tony, Twen, Mom...how am I ever going to forgive myself for bringing such a disaster on them all? I clenched my fist in anger.My guilty reflection got interrupted by a call. It
