Cassarie's Son

Casseries’s son

I never thought the day would come where i’d have to do this, i never thought the day would come where i’d have to tell him or lose him.

My heart was still torn as I turned around to looked at Casseo. My little boy still fasted asleep wrapped in the blanket that I had quickly thrown over him.

He was still wearing the little chain with the star hitch to the moon that he’s always worn.

I steeled my nerves and my heart as i made it up the final stretch of the driveway i could hear the music from here the party was in full swing his party his engagement party.

I didn’t bother going around back to park as i needed to be in and out as quickly as i possibly could so i stopped right at the entrance and grabbed Cassy this immediately caught the attention of the osher at the door and he immediately came over “ sir you can’t park here” his voice was a bit shaky as panic kind of set in as he registered how i was dress and i guess could guess that i wasn’t suppose to be here.

As I stood shaking from one leg to the other as the cold bit through the sweat pants and t-shirt i was in.

I didn’t even stop to change when i heard they were coming, i couldn’t i could chance them coming and finding him there i knew they would take him no matter what i said then, they were convinced he was theirs when really he wasn’t.

I dipped my hand in my pocket and pulled out the slim slender gold enveloped that was sealed with the Casseries’s Crest in blood red wax and handed it to him “i Need to see Victor” the letter was an invitation letter i had gotten it last month and had no intention of using it, hell i was even tempted to throw it in the fire i’m glad that i didn’t now.

The osher was looking at me unsure of what to do at this point we were starting to draw attention as more and more guess started to walk around the car to enter the party but was blocked by us.

Just when I thought that I would have to make a scene to be seen, I heard the voice and saw the man that i wanted to see. “ What’s going on here Victor asked his voice a little gruff.

The osher stepped to the side and i got to get a clear view of him and my breath hitch and the words stuck to my throat.

He was just as handsome as ever, his crystal clear blue eyes registered shock for a while before they settled into an expression that I couldn’t quite read.

“Get inside you must be cold.” I was still lost for words but then i remembered why i was there and the urgency i felt earlier was there again and i bounced cass higher on my hips and bundled him up better in his blanket before stretching him out and handing him over to Victor and this seem to catch the attention of a few of the people behind us as victor took him with one hand and pulled me after him with the other.

“ We need to talk, what the hell is going on?” as he strode through the front parlour there were grasps as guests took in the scene that we made. Victor in his tux looking devine and me in my sleep wear flailing behind trying to keep up with his large strides.

Victor pulled me into the dimly lit hallway and then into his office, this very fateful room it almost felt daja vu.

“ I need your help i know this is out of the blue but i have no where else i could turn to could you keep him for me just for tonight i’ll come back tomorrow to get him i promise i’m sorry to even ask but i couldn’t think of anywhere safe to keep him other than here”.

Anywhere else and the Vatalies could just barge in and take him but they wouldn’t dare do it here.

Victor sighed and gently put Cass on the couch beside him. He was awake at this point and was looking around confused with big brown eyes; only these weren’t his true eyes.

“You’re running from the Vitales” He said he wasn’t asking and I wasn’t surprised he knew.

For the past four years it has been whispered about and widely accepted accepted by many that my son was Angelo Vitalies bastard and i didn’t correct that rumour as i knew that they would never want nor acknowledge him and i was happy for the shield so long as i could keep him.

Only now this has backfired and now they wanted him by any means necessary a month ago Angelo was in motorcycle an accident and it had left him sterile.

This was something that would have been fine if it was kept hidden but it was not.

Some way somehow the news had leaked and now a big scandal and the vitales were left scrambling as their only heir now could not father a child and every one knew it all the other families, the media, their shareholders everyone and this was bad.

Suddenly now they want to acknowledge and take my son, the child they were willing to ignore before. The child that was really not theirs, everyone was convinced because of the colour of his eyes they were bright light brown and clear almost like looking at see through honey.

Almost the same strain and colour as the Vitales only it was a spell that i paid to have cast when he was born, it was supposed to be dark brown or black a colour that was ordinary and nowhere near the colour top three family only the bright crystal blue below shined through so bright it light up the dark brown that was over it making it almost see through.

This coupled with the fact that we had a scandal five years ago when pictures were leaked with him drunk on top of me convinced everyone, even his family that Cass was his son.

Which gave me the freedom of not having to explain where my child came from and why he didn’t have a father as everyone just assumed that he was a vitales bastard since the eyes match and they just left me alone since i wasn’t asking for anything nor was i causing any scenes which was fine by me until now.

Victor looked at me with sadness in his eyes then determination the last time i saw this look in his eyes was five years ago and i have been running ever since, our paths have not crossed paths since that faithful night i have been avoiding him since then. I don’t think i could looked into his eyes and lie.

“Do you want my help?” Victor asked “Yes” was my immediate response, then what he said shocked me to my core.
