Chp-19

    After Amelia left Noah stood on the same spot got busy in his thoughts. Her words hit him hard.


    Somehow he knew that his son had already suffered enough of what he did. And somehow in Noah''s


    heart he knew Xander doesn''t deserve to suffer this much.


    But whenever he remembers what his son did and how badly he hurt an innocent Noah felt


    disappointed in his son. He indeed never really liked Mia. She was an average yet too simple girl and


    he knew she couldn''t be able to survive with Xander.


    Especially after knowing very well about his son''s cold and dominating personality a simple yet sweet


    girl like Mia who believed in fairy tales wasn''t made for him. It was almost like Mia can like but can


    never love Xander which she indeed proved soon.


    Sighing heavily with the heavy steps he made his way towards his son''s room. Xander had this weird


    habit of not locking his room in the night. He entered the room only to find darkness all over the room.


    He slowly stepped towards the king-sized bed where his son wasying but in a second he froze. His


    body shook in terror witnessing his son''s condition.


    Xander''s body was curled up under the nket. Sweat was dripping down his forehead. Breathing


    heavily he was frowning in his sleep.


    Noah instantly stepped closer to his son with worried eyes. Xander''s lips were trembling as well as his


    hands which were clutching the nket tightly.


    Noah''s breath hitched hearing inaudible whimpering from his son. Tears blurred his eyes seeing his


    son''s condition. He palmed his mouth in disbelief.


    "Son." He whispered under his hand as tears escaped his eyes. He was questioning himself that why


    didn''t he try to see how much his son was suffering. How can he be this cruel towards his son?


    Xander again whimpered sweating furiously. Noah sat up beside him biting his trembling lip. He ced


    his hand on Xander''s warm cheek.


    "Son. Xander." He tried waking him up from his nightmare but only got whimpers in return from his son.


    More tears flood away from his eyes.


    "What has happened to you, my boy. Wake up, son." He said raising his voice a little. But Xander was


    still murmuring in his sleep.


    Soon a loud gasp left from Xander''s lips snapping his eyes open. Noah stared at his son with pain


    dripping down his eyes in the shape of tears. Xander''s stormy orbs met his father''s teary icy ones.


    "F-Father--" without another word Noah grabbed Xander''s shoulders roughly pulling him up and


    mming his sweaty body against his embracing his son tightly.


    "My precious boy. What have you done to yourself." Noah whimpered hugging his son tightly.


    Xander at first shook at his father''s sudden action but soon rxing his muscles he wrapped his arms


    around his father and closing his eyes feeling the moment.


    For the past 4 years, this was the first time his father hugged him. He finally felt his warmth. Tears


    blurred his eyes thinking that it might be a dream. He was afraid of what if he opened his eyes and his


    father again disappeared.


    Both son and father stayed in each other embrace for God knows how long. Noah slowly pulled away


    only to witness a lone tear escaping his son''s eyes. He chuckled wiping his cheeks before doing the


    same with his son''s.


    "Why Xander why." Xander looked up at his father with tired and weak eyes.


    "Why you kept on enduring so much on your own. Why didn''t you try to tell me how much I was hurting


    you. How much you were hurting yourself. Why."


    "Because I deserved to suffer father." Noah shook his head hearing his son''s raspy yet cracked voice.


    "No son. I forgave you a long time ago. You did a mistake and you indeed repaid it 10 times more. I am


    sorry. I am so sorry for being a bad father." Xander shook his head before again cing his head on his


    father''s shoulder making Noah caress his hair.


    "Don''t be father. I am happy that I was able to earn your forgiveness. I am sorry that I disappointed


    you." Noah caressed his head again embracing his son.


    "No son. I am proud of you." Xander smiled feeling the biggest burden lessening from his heart as he


    heard his father''s words.


    He ced his head on his father''s chest as Noah alsoid beside his son caressing his hair. And


    without knowing both son and father fell asleep in each other''s embrace after 4 years of pain.

    Yawning I slowly peered my tired eyes open only to find my headying on my father''s chest. I still

    couldn''t believe what had happenedst night. After years I was finally able to feel my father''s love and


    attention.


    How much I missed it I didn''t even notice tillst night. I slowly sat up on the bed leaning my back on


    the bed''s headboard and after few minutes my father did the same. We both have that habit of waking


    up and sitting up for some time.


    My father was the only person who''s responsible for me being a Billionaire and one of the richest man


    in my city. If it wasn''t for my father''s effort and passion I don''t think I would be able to achieve this


    much.


    My father in his bachelor days was a notorious bike racer. He used to earn money through bike racing


    but he still was one of the best students. Myte grandfather used to tell me how my father used to


    cause problems.


    But then soon my father met my mother. The woman I never met and don''t want to meet. My father fell


    in love with her but as people say things doesn''t go ording to your n. Incidents happened and my


    father was burned in a desire to build his ownpany.


    He invested his earned money through bike racing and slowly built a smallpany only to inherit me.


    I was only 18 when I took the control of my smallpany and started raising it.


    And now being 33 years old with my hard work I raised my father''s smallpany into one of the


    biggest empires in the country bing one of the richest men in my city.


    "Damn my back." He mumbled making me look at him. I snorted.


    "See I told you to be careful your old bones can''t take this much stress." He threw me his famous nasty


    re. He hates it when I call him old and weak.


    "Don''t tempt me, son. I can still break your bones using mine so shut up." I rolled my eyes before tiredly


    yawning.


    "Don''t tell anyone I slept with you in the same bed," I said only to earn a disgusted look from him.


    "Yeah like I will tell people how 56 years old man slept holding his 33 years whimpering son. Right." He


    and his sarcasm sometimes get on my nerves.


    Again rolling my eyes I stood up from the bed and he did the same but then a question came to my


    mind.


    "Father. Why. I mean why suddenly you decided to talk to me." He smiled a little shaking his head.


    "I didn''t. I wasn''t going to till someone''s words forced me." I looked at him in curiosity as he stepped


    closer to me.


    "I must say, son. You got a gem for a wife." My eyes instantly widened hearing his words. He chuckled


    at my expressions cing his hand on my shoulder.


    "Come on buddy now you don''t think I wouldn''t know what you were doing all this time." I signed


    scrunching my nose up a little.


    "Your keeping tabs on me." He scoffed.


    "You wish. I also got a letter from Mia and through that, I knew you will try to find a wife. She wanted


    me to make sure that you wouldn''t choose someone not worthy of being Mrs Storm and Alexander''s


    mother." I chuckled sadly.


    "She didn''t trust me even in herst times," I said dropping my head in sadness.


    "No son. She just wanted you to move on and for that, Of course, a girl should be someone who could


    help you move on and I can see you without any effort got a diamond." I looked at him with a frown. His


    lips were curved into a mischievous smile.


    "Amelia is the one who told me how much I am hurting you by ignoring you. She saw through your


    eyes son."


    I stood there stared at my father while he narrated what Amelia said to him. My heartbeat with every


    second increased hearing his words. I wasn''t shocked because she asked my father to talk to me


    instead she saw my pain.


    Even through my emotionless face and eyes, she read me so well that she got rid of one of the biggest


    pain of mine. She saw my longing gaze on my father.


    She cares for me.


    I licked my dried up lips before feeling two palms being ced on my shoulders. I looked into my


    father''s eyes who was already looking at me with soft gaze.


    "Don''t waste this chance. This time my son. You got a star in your hand who is shining brighter than


    you can imagine. You may be married to her for Alexander but you still have time. Sometimes we have


    to move on without forgetting our past and trust me you both needs each other. Each other''s support."


    "She''s hurt and you''re too. Just embrace her and trust me one day you will bless the day you chose to


    hold her back. Don''t let her go, son. You got a gem right in front of your eyes. Don''t lose it."


    I sucked on my breathing taking his words in. But how can I? I love my Mia and thinking about Amelia


    how can I?


    "Trust me. Once you will decide to hold her back and want to be with her. Love will eventually enter


    both of your souls. You just have to try. That girl wouldn''t but my son you can. And you should. The rest


    is your decision."


    Saying that he patted my shoulder walking out. I slowly shrink to my bed sitting up with a big and deep


    frown stered my face. Shit, father why did you make me so confused.


    Slowly I let my thoughts wander around that woman. She''s indeed a gem. Strong, kind, caring, and


    beautiful. A full damn package. A sigh left from my lips remembering how much she''s attracting me


    towards her day by day.


    "Tell me, Mia. Should I do what you asked me? Should I try my luck?" I know how bad fate I always


    had. I don''t have any expectations anymore but I don''t know what to do anymore.


    What if I would never be able to rece her ex-husband. What if I again faced what I did before by


    loving Mia. What should I do? What.


    Should I try to win her? For my son and myself.


    Should I.
