Chase Williams’ Point of View:
I can’t believe this.
How the hell did this happen?
Regina was the reason why we broke up in the first place and Natalia never cheated on me. Oh God my life is such a mess. With a deep and tired sigh, I left the Walker mansion. I stopped in my tracks when I saw the little boy who was with Natalia alone and staring at me curiously, a cell phone in his small hands. I didn’t know what to say to him. It was obvious that he was Natalia’s son with the way he clings to her.
I stared back at him silently. Seconds turned to minutes and I still stood there clueless about what to say to him. I couldn’t help but wonder if he was indeed my son.
“You look like me,” he spoke first breaking the silence.
I was utterly shocked by his confession, I thought we looked alike and could easily see the resemblance, but I didn’t expect him to notice.
“Yeah we do…look alike”
“How old are you?” I asked a weird feeling settling in the pit of my stomach.
He grinned up at me “I’m four,” he smiled holding up four small and little fingers.
I staggered back when the reality of his words hit me.
He’s four.
Oh, dear Lord he’s four.
“When is your birthday?” I asked urgently.
He looked confused by my question but answered anyway, “it’s in December”
The small smile on my face immediately fell when he answered me.
Math was never a hard subject for me. As CEO of a large company math was an everyday thing. I could add and I could subtract and in this very moment I put two and two together and came up with something totally different from four.
The little boy standing in front of me was my son.
“Luke!” I jumped when I heard Natalia calling out for him.
I turned around just in time to see her step outside and look around, obviously searching for Luke.
Upon hearing his mother calling him Luke ran towards her. I smiled to myself as I watched Luke jump up and into her arms. They looked so happy together and it literally crushed my heart that I was so stupid and missed out on those years with them. Was that what she was trying to tell me that night? How could I have been so stupid?
I left without looking back as in a way I felt that I didn’t deserve to.
I quickly pulled out my keys and walked over to my black Audi. I switched off the alarm and opened the door. Sliding in the firm leather seats I closed the door and inserted the keys in the ignition. I drove off not completely sure what my next move would be, but I was definitely certain about one thing.
I connected my phone to my car as I wanted both hands on the wheel and to not get into an accident and so I wouldn’t have to always hold onto the phone. Dialling a certain someone’s number I waited rather impatiently for the person to answer.
“Hello”
“Hello Amber”
“Oh, hello sir,” she purred which to me sounded like a dying cat.
“I have some good news for you,” I said in a cheerful voice.
“Really,” she squealed “what is it?”
“I bet you’ll never guess what it is”
“Please just tell me,” she giggled oblivious to my darkening tone.
“Your fired!” I sneered at her barely controlling my anger.
“What?” she gasped “is this some sort of joke?”
“No joke,” I snickered pleased that she was not expecting this “this is my gift to you”
“This isn’t a gift,” she screamed down into the phone.
“Of course, it is”
“No, it isn’t!” she shouted getting me angry.
“It’s better than me blacklisting you for helping to destroy my marriage”
With that I hung up on her not missing the gasp of surprise. I pulled up to my company to make sure she leaves and also to start enacting my ultimate plan.
Getting Natalia back. This will probably be the most difficult thing I’ll ever do but I have to. I need her in my life.
