Kristy frowned. “I’m done with my job. Besides, Uncle only asked me to find the man with the dragon tattoo and never said anything again. I don’t know anything. I don’t want to get too involved in something like this. I’m a little bit scared and don’t want to get involved anymore.”
“You really don’t know who he is?” asked Flower in surprise. “What did Uncle say to you?”
“Uncle asked me to watch over the seniors, who knows among them there are those who have dragon tattoos on their bodies. Not only me, Uncle has people who are assigned the same task in each faculty. When I asked, who was the person he was looking for, he was just said that person was very important to him. We never talk too much. I’m also reluctant to ask. To be honest, I didn’t feel very comfortable around Uncle for too long. He has a cold aura that scares me a bit.”
Flower laughed. “All right. Now we’ve found him and I’ve promised Uncle to take him, but he’s a very difficult person to approach. Unfortunately, he also has a lover. They are both really amazing couple, i must admit but i hate it. I have to separate them and bring Flynt to in front of Uncle. ”
“What relation with him already having a lover with Uncle’s orders? You can still take him even if he already has a lover. Uncle only wants him, right? Let the other alone, don’t disturb his boyfriend.”
“He is my future husband.” Flower chuckled. “He is the successor to uncle’s name and since he is my adoptive father, he wants to marry us off so that I can bear grandchildren for him. He is the heir. One and only.”
“What? How could he be the successor of Uncle’s name? Who is he?” asked Kristy confused. “Didn’t he move from Brazil before? I can’t imagine the connection between him and Uncle.”
“You don’t know anything. He is uncle’s son who was exchanged since childhood by a bad people. Uncle has been chasing him a long time ago. Uncle’s wife died of a broken heart and he’s disabled leg was also caused by the family who took his child. So did his broken face. They tortured Uncle and made him half crazy about the losing kid.”
“That kid is … him? Flynt Aiden Joaqin? But … how?”
“Yes. Uncle’s wife named him Theo. Uncle’s wife and the woman who took Theo gave birth at the same time. Both had surgery and their two babies were both in incubation. Two weeks later, when Uncle was about to visit his baby, the doctor said that the baby was in critical because his heart condition was too weak. Uncle did not believe. Two days later, the doctor said that the baby could not survive. When the baby died, Uncle saw the woman who gave birth with his wife bringing home the baby who had come out of the incubator and was healthy. That’s not the woman’s baby. Uncle’s wife recognized the baby that the woman brought is her. The woman changed the baby. It’s her baby whose death, not uncle’s.”
“Oh my God. Why doesn’t Uncle chase the woman and take the baby back? He can ask for a DNA test to prove that their baby has been switched by them.”
“Uncle has done everything he can to get the baby back, but do you know who the woman whose changed the baby is?” asked Flower furiously. She gritted her teeth angrily.
Kristy shakes her head.
“She is Leah Joaqin, the wife of Garry Joaqin, the number one richest and strongest person in the heavy equipment, electronics and otomotive industry in our country. Garry and Uncle are friends since school days, even uncle is one of the people who have a role important to help Garry develop his business. Garry already had three children before, while uncle who was late married yet. Uncle’s wife had an abnormality in her womb, until at some point after years she finally conceived baby Theo. Then, in the same time, Leah was pregnant with her youngest child.”
Kristy shook her head in disbelief. “Uncle can’t prove that Flynt is his son?”
“They are very powerful. They even faked the results of the child’s DNA test. Uncle tried everything, and in despair after his wife died, Uncle tried to kidnap the child when he was 10. Uncle was shot by one of Garry’s bodyguard and after that, Garry hiding his child abroad. In the past year, my uncle found traces of him and learned that the child had returned to New York due to his grandmother’s health condition and attended a university in here. ”
“How about the dragon tattoo? Why did uncle know that the boy has a dragon tattoo? Has he had it since childhood?”
Flower shook her head. “It’s not like that. Every male of Joaqin descent, will have a dragon tattoo when they was 13 years old. It is a symbol of family descent from a long time ago. That why uncle is sure that child has it too. Uncle looking all over the country and even abroad to find who made the tattoo for the child and finally got information about the boy, who turned out to have returned to here. ”
“We never knew that Flynt had a tattoo like that. I suspected that the person Uncle was looking for was Luke, because he also had a dragon tattoo on his right arm. I even had to send a picture of tattoo on Luke’s hand to Uncle, but it turned out the dragon image is different from the one we are looking for.”
Flower noded. “It seems that if the dragon tattoo is a family symbol, it must have a certain pattern that has a meaning that only the owner can understand, right? The dragon tattoo on Luke means nothing.”
“Ah, I see.”
“He covered it with concealer. The family would do anything to cover up Theo’s trail from uncle. Now we’ve found him, and have to convince him of who the Joagin family really is and who his real parents are. Uncle’s getting weaker lately and I want to make him happy by bringing back the child he missed. ”
“But, how? Its Flynt we talking about and more than that, he is a Joaqin’s.”
“No! He is Theo Brenton, uncle’s son. Flynt Aiden Joaqin was death in the incubator long time ago. We have to bring him back to uncle.”
“How?”
“Let’s use his lover for bait.”
“Wh-what?”
“I will kidnap that doctor.”
“But, Flo, thats imposibble. Dean is innocent and has nothing to do with this. We can’t hurt him. Don’t act recklessly, Flo, it will be dangerous for you too.”
“Kris, do you want to help me or not?” asked Flower sharply. She has made up her mind to bring Flynt a. k. a Theo in front of her adoptive father and apart from that, she has also fallen in love with Flynt and is determined to have that man.
Kristy hesitated. She was afraid. “I… don’t know … it’s too dangerous.”
“Then back off. Don’t get in the way if you don’t want to help,” Flower hissed.
“Flo, can we….”
“Go! I’ll handle it myself. You’re useless.”
Kristy looked at Flower who left with a jolt. She reached for the phone and touched a number. “He-hello….”
