I’ll Marry you

Continue from Previous Chapter

“yes, how may I help you?” Sheila tried to look into his eyes.

“I am Daxiane….” He said in a deep Italian accent

“dad” Alex shrieked and ran to hug him before Sheila could stop him.

“champion” Daxiane hoisted him up and squeezed his cheek

“I missed you daddy” Alex kissed his cheek.

“likewise chap”—Sheila was shocked to see the striking resemblance between her son and the stranger. ‘why do they look alike? Is my fear finally coming to pass? No….. nobody will take my baby boy from me?’ she thought. She forcefully took him out the stranger’s arms.

“mom” Alex whinned

“get inside baby” she made him go inside, she then turned to the handsome stranger.

“What can I help you with and how do you know my son?”

“Your son?” he smirked “may I can come in, I mean no harm I promise and besides it is uncivilized to keep someone outside the house” –She was hesitant, she let out heaved sighs and then let him. He smiled at her briefly when she let him in. He put both hands in his pants pockets as his eyes scanned the house. To him it was simple and beautiful. The furniture was put properly in their position, he could see a picture frame of shieila and Alex when he was a baby. He only turned around when Sheila cleared her throat. He observed her features keenly. She had a diamond shaped face, curly and red hair that lingered to the sides of her face. She also had a smooth forehead, her eyes were almond shaped; her orbs were blue, her nose was small and straight; probably too small to Daxiane. He fixed his gaze on her lips, they were full and supple. Sheila did not like how he looked at her, it was as if he was glaring at her so she straightened up and rose her brow up.

“You have not told me what you want my son”

“He is my son and I am here for him so let us not things difficult. Name your price and hand him over.” He said in a stern tone. What he said made her weak to her bone, she felt sick to her stomach

“WHAT!” she whispered when she finally found her voice.

"Alexio your son?" she scoffed

"yes!" Daxiane answered as a matter of fact "I've got proof" he arched a brow

"no!" she said sternly. "Alex is my son!" she said, her jaw clenched and her teeth gritted.

"come on now Rose, we both know that you didn't birth this child" he smirked when he saw how her eyes bulged out. How did he know my birth name? she thought

"how dare you, a stranger like you show up at my door step and claim my son as yours. the nerve of you" he gave him hate glares

"we both know that you didn't birth that boy. you adopted him years ago. Did it not occur to you that he had parents, I'm his father and I am here to get my son back"

"you sick bastard, where were you and your wife. his so called parents all these damn years when I was taking care of him. why did you people abandon him?" she could feel her tears, they threatened to pour out but she wouldn't be weak in front of this stranger.

"That's is none of your business miss Davies. I'm here for Alex not to talk about my life"

"I'm not giving up Alex for you. I'll see you in court" she swallowed. Daxiane Tut and laughed dryly. He then had a straight face as he took confident and slow strides to where she stood, he looked down at her and spoke slowly but his tone was dangerous.

"you don't understand Sheila, I hate dealing with slow people. You see, I get what I want. Even the court bows to my demands. I give you three days to rethink this and if by three days, I haven't got a call from you believe me, existing will no longer interest you."

"is that a threat?" She looked into his dark eyes

"oh Robin, I don't threaten people. I make promises and I keep them" he smiled evilly and straightened up. He then put put his hand in his suit pocket and brought out a black card with names imprinted in gold on it. He handed it to her which she hesitantly collected.

"That's my business card" he said when she kept looking at it

"I'm not stupid. I know what it is" she almost snapped

"good!" he said and made to leave when she told him to wait.

"Yes?" he turned around

"your business card is not good. I design cards just so you know. this?" she raised the card up for him see "This is archaic man" she smirked. Daxiane didn't reply to her mock remarks, instead he turned around and headed to the door. He then left.

"Arrrrghhh! Demon! devilish stupid hot sexy demonic man in suit" she swore loudly. She slammed the card on the table.

"Robin? who the hell does he think he is to call me that. God! he's a narcissist" she gasped "yes! a narcissist. Jesus Christ. I'm not giving him my son"

"Alex baby, come downstairs. you're going to be late for school" She said aloud, the little boy ran downstairs.

"where's Daddy?" he looked around.

"sweetie, that man is not your daddy. He's an imposter. How did you two meet?"

"Mummy! he is my dada. He plays with me and dadas play with their kids" he pouted. Sheila rolled her eyes and took him by the hands.

*******************************************

When she dropped Alex in school, she went to her place of work. Her book store. She opened the store when she was done with University, there were no forthcoming jobs so she decided to open a store, a book store since she was good with books.

"Good morning migó" She greeted her brother, Miguel.

"you are late woman" he rolled his eyes "Again"

"I know I am sorry. something kept me" she went round her desk and sat down on her chair

"something is always keeping you. it's either your cat died or Alex grew another teeth. I have a life, I have my own store to run lady. You can't keep me waiting all morning...." While he vented, Sheila looked at him and smiled. Her immediate older brother that has been there for her since birth, people mistake them to be twins infact. He was tall, a bit on the muscular side, white skin almost pale, but he didn't have a red hair, he had a jet black and curly hair. At least that did justice to his face.

"this time it's different I swear. Alex's father came around today asking for Alex"

"What!!!!" Miguel exclaimed

"Yes!"

"Is he mad?" He asked, flaring up. His British accent was clear.

"He gave me three days to give my baby boy up. and the worst is Alex knows him and acknowledges him as a father" her forehead had worry lines.

"Rose darling, we need to fight this nonsensical hunk of a man"

"We can't fight him. he looks dangerous. Dude has tattoos that lingered to his neck. I saw the tattoos even though his suit"

"So? I have tattoos too. look" he rose his sweat shirt up for her to see his tattoo. She rolled her eyes.

"That's a dick Miguel and how does this help?"

"it's not a dick, it's a baton. it shows I was in the force. Forget it. We have to fight this guy back. firstly what's his name?"

"Daxiane Turéz"

"okay let's look him up" Miguel brought out his phone from his pants pocket and typed keys. He gasped as he looked into the screen of his phone.

"Damn! he is hot" Miguel said. "and it says here that he is a business tycoon. He was in the military, he left the force and decided to open a company, companies infact"

"you see, he is not one to play with Miguel" she creased her temple with her finger.

"and he is a widower, the wife died in a car accident" he gasped, Sheila's eyes bulged out of their sockets.

"let me see" she took the phone from his hands and scrolled through the page.

"A widower? how comes he never remarried? ooh and rumor has it that he is a Mafia king"

"That ain't rumor sister" Miguel took his phone from her "he looks it. nigga looks like he can kill"

"Miguel, what if I don't give up Alex and he comes to kill me" she panicked

"no matter what lady, we are not giving up my Nephew" he took her both hands into his "we are going to fight him. I have to run along now see you tonight at Dad's" he kissed her hand

"bye Miguel" she smiled

DAXIANE TURÉZ'S OFFICE

(Three days later)

Daxiane was seated behind his mohogany desk doing some paper work when his office door was swung open, he rose his head up and saw an angry red haired looking woman.

"Sheila?" He thought inwardly

"I'm not giving up Alex for your selfish self Turéz Daxiane" she said sternly

"Sir, I tried to stop her" His secretary, Yvonne said.

"It's okay Yvonne, leave us" He motioned for her to leave which she did. Daxiane sat back in his chair and observed her keenly. She was beautiful when angry, Her chest heaved like she had just finished running a race.

"I see you were not raised properly that's why you barged into my office like a wild woman! is this how you want to raise my son?" He smirked at her which spited her to the last nerve

"I will not have you insult me Turéz Daxiane"

"it's Daxiane Turéz to you" He stood up from his chair and went round his table and sat slightly on it

"I'm suing you" she blurted out

"Really Robin?"

"it's Sheila Daves to you" she took confident strides towards him

"I'll see you in court" she said and then turned around to leave but she came to a halt when he said something that rang loud in her head.

"I already have Alex with me"-- She turned around briskly, her heart started beating fast and loud like a ticking bomb.

"what!" she didn't know when the tears that glistened her eyes fell free down to her cheeks

"I have my son already, if you think I'm lying. I've got proof. I always have proof" he smiled evilly, his face contoured into something evil.

"No.. Please Daxiane. I love him please don't take away the only thing that keeps me sane and alive. please" she sobbed and sniffled. When it came to Alex, she turned soft. Her heart becomes weak.

"Really? well I don't care Robin...ooops it's Sheila Daves to me right? I gave you three days, your time has expired" He Tut "Now please if you don't mind, I have things to do, leave my office. An amount of money will be wired to your account" he turned to leave when she held his arm

"I'll do anything just for you to let my son go, I love him and he's my life"

"but he's my blood" he removed her hand that was on his arm.and gave them a distance

"please I beg you" she swallowed hard

"You said you will do anything right?" he looked at her from head to her knees. she felt uncomfortable with the way his eyes scanned her.

"Anything except warming your bed" she gave him dirty looks.

"get over yourself Robin, I don't do virgins" --She turned plain white sheet and her cheeks got red, she was flushed with embarrassment.

"What do you want?" She cleared her throat

"It's easy" he went and sat on his chair

"You don't want Alexio to leave you and I want him back to the family right?" he asked

"Right" she looked at him suspiciously, what evil do you have in mind you he devil, she thought

"Marry me... Marriage is the only way for us to settle" he said as a matter of fact

"Are you insane, Bruv" she was in utter confusion and shock

"Alexio is the reason why I am asking this of you, not for my Gain. So it's your choice" he smirked. He knew what he was doing. He thought that she'd rather die than to marry him so he set out hard options for her thinking she'd leave Alexio for him.

"You're the devil himself. I'll never marry you"

"Then Alex is mine to keep. have a great day Miss Daves" --She thought hard and long. If marriage is the only way for my son and I to be together then fuck it, I'll marry this bastard. .

"Fine! I'll marry...I will do it" She dried her tears with the back of her palms
