"I am resigning" I said to Chef
Samuel
I was sitting on the couch in Chef Samuel's drawing room. Twen was in the other room playing a video game. Chef Samuel's wife was not home yet after work. I didn't want to return to my place. I was still in shock and have too many things to ponder about. I wanted to talk to Chef Samuel so after picking up Twen, I went straight to Samuel's house.
He looked at me with eyes so wide open that it could have been at size of a coaster
"What did you say?
RESIGN??"
"Yes" I could just say
that
"Wha- What happened? Why so suddenly?" he asked looking at me with concern.
I didn't know how to answer.. Though, Chef knew about my past, I never said who the father of Twen was. Even if I did, nobody would have thought that such a twist of fate could take place. I simply remained quiet.
"Tony" he
called.
"I can't work there anymore" I said getting up from the couch. "Forgive me Sam, You did so much for me and I..." A lump formed in my throat. I can't believe for a jerk I have to now look for a new job and disappoint Samuel
"Don't apologise" Samuel sighed, "I don't know what your reason is, but don't take decisions emotionally. You have to think about Twen"
I smiled at him. He was right, but I am just not mentally prepared to face that jerk in my work place every day. Till I get a new job, I guess I have to continue working. I can just hope that I don't get to see his face, till I leave the job.
"Twen, let's go" I called, Twen stopped playing and tottered to my side.
Tony, you will be alright, right? You don't look good" Samuel's eyes were
round with concern
"Are you sick mommy?" Twen asked with tensed eyes, "Is it because of me?" >>
"No Twen. I am not sick" I told him patting his head, then turned to Samuel, "Thank you Sam, I ll be fine" I smiled
On my way back. Twen ended up falling asleep in the backseat. He must be tired. Schools nowadays are very demanding. Poor boy. He even have to do his homework on his own. I am so useless as a parent.
Reaching home, I took Twen in my arms and started climbing the stairs. I saw his peaceful sleeping face and can't help smiling.
"Sorry Twen, Mommy is always so busy and is so coward. If only I had
enough strength, I could have given you a better life"
Twen snored softly. He is my sunshine. No matter how rough and bad my day be, thanks to him, I have been able to make it through. I kissed him on the forehead.
I unlocked the door once I reached home, and had just put Twen in bed: when my bell rang. I looked at the watch. It was 10 at night.
'Who is visiting me so late at night?!'
I softly troded to the door, not to wake Twen and asked, "Who is it?"
No answer. Did I misheard? I gently opened the door to check and got face to face with Robbie. I froze.
What the hell was he doing here? How did he know my address? Then It remembered with a jolt.
Dammit I work for him, this place is provided by him. Of course he knows the address. I wanted to hit my head somewhere. But that's not the important thing. The main trouble was, right now Twen was with me. Twen can't meet him. What do I do?
"May I come in?" he asked, with a
gentlemanly smile
"No" I almost screamed which made Robbie raise his eyebrow, "Le-lets talk outside" I stammered.
Why was this scum visiting me? He can't be thinking of separating me and Twen. No I won't let it happen. I will protect my little boy, I have to. "It's cold outside. Can't you just make me a cup of coffee"
Just how shameless was this guy? How can he barge into someone's house and life like this.
"We can have coffee in the café below" I said hastily finding every excuse to not let him get in.
"It's closed. I saw when I came in" he said with a
cheeky grin
"Just cut the chase and tell me what you want" I asked still firmly
blocking the door.
He was about to answer when I heard Twen's voice, "Mommy? Who is it?"
Twen's voice made Robbie stunned. I felt like someone has kicked me in the gut. Why was everything going so wrong? Was Robbie reappearing in my life not enough? Am I cursed by Devil or something?I pushed Robbie out and slammed the door shut. I turned to look at the surprised face of Twen."Twen, why are you out ofbed?" I asked"I thought I heard the door bell" he answered innocently"Th-that's just" I couldn't even complete my sentencewhen there was a knock on the door.Oh for God sake, get the damn message and leave. Whyis he hell bent on making my life miserable? "That's just Mommy's guest ok? You should go back tobed" I said forcing a smile at himTwen looked at me doubtfully. There was another knock on the door.Goddamnit! I wanna murder this guy!

Robbie'sPOVBeing born as the son of Chairman of the Exquisite Hotel and Resorts Pvt Ltd, with natural good looks and being tested as Alpha at 12, sky was the limit for me. I was what people referred to as Elite. I thought there was nothing that I couldn't get and I wasn't mistaken. Girls and guys would flock up to me. I was naturally good with studies and basketball. I had never known desperation or need. I always thought, I deserved the best.It was until I was sixteen. Due to recession, the flow of tourists were affected. There was political turmoil going on, on top of that. This all led to decline in flow of tourists. Our business depends on several types of tourist, with the fall in their number, our company fell into hard times. I had to leave my esteemed high profile school and join a downgraded one. It couldn't have been worse. Transferring to this school, I wanted to have nothing to do with all this low class p
Robbie's POVI looked at the letter that Tony placed on the table. He was standing quietly, looking at me with those firm beautiful eyes Though, he looked non chalant I could see that he was nervous. Tory easily gets scared so many used to call him coward or gutless but I knew that it was not true.The true coward was me I was scared of taking responsibility of a kid. I kept thinking that will ruin my future and about the bad reputation. I faamd my father's reaction. He despised Omegas and found them to be cheap gold diggers. I was scared that he will be furious with me and disown me. I was so scared that I didn't think twicewhat my rejection would do to Tony. I was being pure selfish. After the kind of treatment t gave him, many Omegas would have fallen into depression, commit suicide, abortthe child or beg to be accepted or at least support them financially but he did none of the above. He actual
Just one day.It took just one day for my life to do a 180.If meeting my so-called bondad Alpha was not enough, he suddenly professed his love for me and is actually expressing his regret for treating me badly. It was just too much for me to process. Why was it so hard for me tolive a normal, simple life. I need to take a break and digest all the events that happened since yesterday morningWhen returned home. I saw Twen was playing with the tricycle I got him the other day. It was his day off fromschool, I and him having some tone time to spend is very rare. Twen was busy riding his tricycle around the roombut stopped when he saw me"Mommy?" he called looking at me in surprise"What's up munchkin?" I asked. He can really make me forget all my worries. This little devil!"You don't have work t
"Twen put your head inside. Don't put it out like that I scolded Twen as he had his head put out of window to enjoy the wind"But the wind is great Mommy" he said with a wide smile"Twen, Usten to mommy, put your head in" I said sternly and he got his head in though he was still smiling.Which beach are we going Mommy?" he asked cheerfully"Surprise" I said flashing a cheeky smileAfter Fred left for UK to study, I completely lost contact with him. I wonder if he has returned. Beach La Costa was filled with memories. It was quite the drive and was almost at the outskirts of the cityIt took almost two hour for me to reach. I saw there was quite some crowd to the path towards the beach so I had to park the car rear a small hotel called quana. Twen jumped out of the car and looked everywhere withan amazed eyes. I took out the backpack with the things I bought and was about to reach Twen when an old manwith long goatee and thin

I sat down at the table absorbed in my thoughts*Monumy, you didn't order food t
Robbie's POVSir Miss Sarah wants to meet you" My assistant saidSarah is my childhood friend. I was with her till middle school but after I transferred we didn't have much contact Also I heard she left the country for studies from my old school maters. She suddenly reappeared last year and to my surprise, father had decided on a marriage between us without my consent. I have refused it but father thinks if she clings to me, I U melt at some point. If that had to happen, it would have by now. I just think of her as friend, but she is not ready to accept that. What a pest!"Tell her am busy" I said, sighing"Why don't you tell me that yousetr? Sarah said suddenly appearing in front of the office door. She was abeautiful lady with long curly brown hair, black eyes, pretty oval face and curvy built"I have no time for you! Leave I told her irritably&nbs
(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
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
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
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
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
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
