Four

Five Years Later.

Nita held a little boy who seemed to want to know everything and why it had to be where it was. He had asked her a million questions in the few hours they had arrived at the airport.

“Mummy, is this where daddy lives?”

She sighed, “Nate, I already told you a million times that you don’t have a daddy. You only have me.”

Nate shook his head, “But that’s impossible, mum. Everybody has a daddy and a mummy, how can I have only a mum. Also, Aunt Mia told me my dad stays in the state.”

Nita bit her lips; Mia.

Nate had her wrapped around his fingers perfectly that she couldn’t refuse him anything. She would do anything for him. Nita decided she would call Mia to warn her about giving him false hope.

“We need to get to the hotel, baby. Mummy is late for her meeting.”

When she left the state with Mia five years ago, she had no plans of returning, but five years later, she was more confident than she could have ever been in her life. She wasn’t just Nita Grimm anymore. She was Cyborg; a world renowned programmer that every company wanted to get hold of. She was wanted by the top organizations of the world, and she had refused a lot until Mia had forced this particular job on her head.

All she had to do was complete this work quietly, and returned back to Adonis, where there was peace.

Unknown to her, the moment she stepped into the state there was eyes on her. Nick received a call from one of his numerous spies, “Sir, your wife is back with a little boy.”

Nick stood up in the middle of his meeting.

Five years ago, he had searched for Nita to no avail. It was as if she had disappeared into thin air with no traces, but he knew she was alive and would be back someday. So, he had continued paying spies to keep an eye on her and let him know the moment she was found.

Now, she was back with his son.

The board of directors stared at him strangely when he adjourned the meeting.

“Joel, I need you to send someone to keep an eye on Nita. I want all information about her and this time I don’t want any disappointment. I want all information you can get on my son, too.”

The personal assistant moved to work immediately.

Five years ago, Nita didn’t sign the divorce agreement which meant she was still legally married to him. He just needed to find a way to convince her to come back to him.

The house was just like she had left it five years ago; all her belongings were exactly where she had kept it. He had insisted that no one should change anything from the way he had set it.

“Where are you off to, handsome?"

The voice he hated the most stopped him as he was about to use the elevator. When Nita left, his mother was more than happy, she had immediately set him up with her best friend daughter, Sharon, who had been on his neck since four years ago.

She didn’t care when he had told her there would never be anything between them. With his mother’s backup, she believed she could achieve anything – to her, she was already Mrs. Grimm.

He ignored her.

“I heard you’re looking into getting a new programmer for your company to upgrade security. I can help you.”

Nick looked at her once and chose to ignore her – again. His company would be going down to his son in the future, so he wants the best of everything for his company. He wanted Cyborg for his company.

“I know what you’re thinking, but I can link you up with Cyborg.”

He stopped. Only few people know who Cyborg really was. He had always worked secretly and his signature was the only sign you that he was the one that did the work. He already heard that Cyborg was in the state, but no one know exactly where he was staying.

“Don’t bother. I can get Cyborg myself.”

He was about to close the elevator when she decided to join him in the cart. Nick sighed. He had put himself through this by suggesting a divorce with Nita, but he didn’t know then that he was going to be alive five years later.

He already wrote his will signing everything off to Nita and their child regardless of when they are back.

Sharon didn’t give up, “I can make the connection faster. I know where Cyborg is and he won’t be staying long in the state. I’ve inside information.”

Nick nodded. Everyone knew Cyborg wasn’t going to stay long in the state. It wasn’t something hidden, but rather than Cyborg, he would rather see his family now.

Just then a beep on his phone made him pick it up. Joel had sent him Nita’s hotel address.

Once the elevator stopped at the ground level, he stopped to glance at Sharon, “If you will excuse me, Ms. Walter. I’ve somewhere important to be.”

Without waiting for her response, he moved towards the parking ground. He stopped making use of a driver’s service a while ago, apart from his personal assistant; he didn’t keep much domestic staff for himself.

The ride to the hotel was a faster one with one thought in his mind.

What will Nita think of him?

Did she think of him at all during those past five years?

What will his son think of him?

He wasn’t the type to scare easily, but he was nervous as to what his family reaction will be to him after all these years.

As soon as he parked in front of the hotel, he sat in the driver’s seat thinking of a way to present himself to Nita. That was when he saw her. She looked way more beautiful than she did five years ago, but she wasn’t alone. She was hugging a guy.

With all the thoughts in his mind, he never thought that she was going to be married to another guy.
