Present time (eight months later)

Just sitting in my office, stressing out about them. How I missed her so much and how much I want to hold my son in my arms just once if God allows it. I never get a chance to see my son since he was born. I want to say that I don't know how he looked like, but I would be lying. I've had my friend/lawyer, Kyle, to do the work. It's the only way I can find out how he looked like, how he is, and how much have he grown.

The stress come because Kyle haven't had giving any new about them. Demyan will be a year old in a month and Kyle just being the 'great lawyer' he is, couldn't find any information on them.

"I need a goddamn news, Kyle! What the fuck are you doing there?!" I snapped at him. Watching him just sitting on the couch in my office with his laptop opened on the table, but he doesn't seem like doing anything. I can't lose track on her again. I need to be right behind her with everything she did.

"I'm working, Dave fucking Angelo. I have a client to serve, like a real client." Him, shading me is like an everyday thing when he don't give me any news about them. It sure is hard to keep track with the Stanislav family. Sergei and his son especially, the master on tech, they would do anything to keep her away from me. From those times I am being a father, Kyle can only caught five pictures of Demyan.

"Help your best friend here who is helplessly stressed out about his family. Don't you have a sympathy for him?" I might have being a little bit exaggerating about my situation, but it's true. I don't just make it up.

"No, I don't. You know you deserved it. Fucking hell, you seem to forget who you fucked with. I really don't want to be dragged into this shit." He held his hand up in surrender, like he doesn't want to be involved in this. But he is my best friend and is already in dipshit along with me. Best friend have each other's back, right?

"Whatever. I just want to know about them. Do you know how I am feeling right now? I feel empty and restless and weak. I want to hold him so much in my life. You don't understand. I never felt skin on skin with him. I'm dying to know how it feels like." I said in a pained voice.

"Oh man, I would love to see you cry again, in front of me." He said in amused and mocking at the same time.

"Shut up." I said in frustration and I can hear it too. My British voice come out so thick and Kyle is going to mocked me again. I'm done with his mocking for today.

I shot him a glare when I saw him opening his mouth which I know that he is going to say something. Something that is definitely will pissed me off even more and to make me feel even emptier.

A time like this, Alyona will always be here, accompanying me with this sassy ass guy. She would backed me up when Kyle making fun of me. I can safely said that even Kyle afraid of my wife. She is easy to be loved by everyone. Everyone adored her for being so kindhearted and so down to earth.

"Are you thinking about her again? I can feel you thinking about a moment the three of us shared." Kyle snapped me out of my daydreaming. I only nodded to him, answering his statement. I don’t even want to deny the fact that I am thinking about our unforgettable moment.

"I missed that moment too." He confess and I heard him let out a sigh. "You're so stupid for making that mistakes. You knew who's you're tied to, but still, it doesn't make you think straight. Do you not remember the time you almost died fighting Sergei's enemy? You threw all your hard work and life to spend the night with some worthless whore! Didn't you ever think that her father and brother would know even when you kept it a tight secret to her? They are not stupid."

"But I am." I admitted.

"Yes, you are." He couldn't agree more with me.

"So please, help me find her whereabouts and my son's." I'm getting frustrated. My mind and my heart is somewhere else while my body is here. It's a slow torture to me. I would rather just die on the spot.

"I'm trying, okay?" He said.

"I know." Because I don't know what else to say. I can only depend on him. I can't hire a private investigator and risked my chance about knowing them if Sergei finds out.

Silence fell on us. While Kyle doing his job, working with his clients. I'm in my seat, staring at the frame of the pictures Kyle got for me. It's the only thing I have of them.

Ring. Ring. Ring.

I heard my office phone ringed, but I ignored it. I am not in the mood to take calls for the rest of the day. I don't even care if it's some important calls I had to take. My eyes keep staring at them. What a beautiful creatures. Wish I could be in it with them, then it will be the perfect family picture.

Not long after the call, my office door being knocked. I sighed, finally taking a notice on them.

"Come in." I called out.

"Sir, Mrs. Tanya is here to see you. Should I let her come up?" Tracy, my personal assistant come in to the room. Standing by the door to tell me that Tanya is here to see me. That is what's so important that she have to tell me now?

"Tell her I'm busy. I don't want to take any guests for the rest of the day. No reasons." I sternly tell her.

"Of course, Sir." She bow her head down and excused herself out of the room. As soon as the door shut, Kyle just can't keep his mouth shut like the door. He have the need to comment about it.

"Too busy for the wife?" Kyle wiggled his eyebrows with a teasing smile.

"Keep the wife away. My wife is the one you are looking for right now." I eyed his laptop to get my point.

"Chill, Dave. I know your eyes is for one woman only and the bonus. But still, I can't believe you haven't spend the night or even touch the wife. You know, why don't you just drive the wife to my house?"

"Oh gladly." I said.

"I'll be waiting then." He said smilingly.

-

Kyle come home with me, so that's why he is still here until I decided to leave the office. He was planning to spend the night at my house and get a free drink and food as a favor I asked him to do. He already looked like a broke ass lawyer if the world knows.

We get to the lobby, walked out of the elevator. My eyes catch her in the waiting lounge. "The fuck is she still doing here." My eyes squinting to see her clearly, just in case I am mistook her as someone else.

"Who?" Kyle asked until his eyes meet the person I'm talking about. "A dedicated wife you have there." He chuckles. As I'm about to turned to a different direction, she stops me.

"Dave, wait!" She shouted.

"How about you take her to your home? You don't have to do the work tonight, you can continue tomorrow." I offered him. I really don't want to talk or see her. I'm fine this past three weeks without them interfering my life. I can fucking breathe from his non sense threat.

"That's so tempting, Dave. But I still respect her for having a husband." He smirks at me, knowing that it annoyed me in every ways.

"Dave, I have something important to tell you." I flinch as soon as I felt her hand touching my shoulder. I moved away from her, make sure that I put enough space between us.

"What do you want, Tanya?" I ask straightforwardly and I looked at her coldly.

"She's here. I just met her when I went shopping." She showed me the shopping bag. You would think that she is showing off, but no. She is showing me the shopping bag with the expensive name curved on it. AVS in bold capital letters. Then my eyes moved to Kyle, we shared a look and know the reason why she couldn't be found.

"And you have a son! He's so charming and cute." She fangirl over my son.

"I knew that. It's called genetic. You sounded like a pedophile right now and I don't appreciate it. He's my son, not a thing you can obsessed with. If you don't have anything else to say, I have important things to do. Don't fucking call my cell or dare to step a foot on my house." It sounds like I'm threatening her, but it's just a friendly warning. There will be a consequence if she break those things.

"Geez, I remember that as if it's my phone password." She said annoyedly.

"Oh, before you go. My father planned to held a business dinner on Sunday." Before she can finished the line. I already knows what comes next.

"He wants me to be there, am I correct?"

"Yes." She answered. "But the thing is, Sergei will be there." My body visibly stiffen upon hearing his name. His name always carry chills and fear and respect altogether.

"That's fucked up. Your father is crazy if he thinks Dave will attend that dinner." Kyle answered that for me. I couldn't even work my brain properly right now. What the fuck does he want from Sergei?

"I overheard him saying if he can get close to Sergei-," I don't need her to continue the sentence. I can finish them myself.

"He can get me. He wants my company." I finished it. If it's about that, my brain work as fast as a lighting. This sick bastard think he can live another day when he tried to fooled Sergei.

"I'll take care of him. Do you have a ride home? Kyle can give you a ride." I nicely offered her. I would be too hard on her when all she did was helping me.

"No, it's okay. My boyfriend will pick me up." I look at her and then to Kyle. Suck that ass, Kyle. His smile suddenly dropped upon hearing that she have a boyfriend. Poor Kyle, he think that he can get her so easily like I did.

"Okay." Kyle lowly said. I secretly smirked at him, I feel like I am winning something just for defeating him.

I'll see you in the next chapter, lovelies.
