Alexie Jefferson is 5 years old little boy who was hated by his dad since he was born. He claims that Alexie came and stole his wife from him. His mom Sophia Jefferson was never found of Alexie’s dad she used to like him but when Alexie was born, he acted childishly as she described it.

One day after visiting the doctor she came home with Alexie to find that her husband had left he used to work from home after all.

Sophia was able to get her uncle’s wealth she was his only relative, so he left everything for her.

He didn’t have a huge wealth, but his wealth would let her live with Alexie comfortably without worrying.

Sophie loved her son from all her heart, and she loved him until the moment she was killed by a drunk driver.

From that day Alexie never felt loved, never felt home his father hated him more than anything.

For two years his father beat him abused him. At first Martha, his dad’s girlfriend was home she would protect him and keep his father way but for reason, she also left, and Alexie never saw her again.

After Martha left Alexie took all of his dad’s unstable emotions. What was worse his dad started to get drunk every day.

Not that he didn’t get drunk before, but it wasn't every day. One day he was drunk and went to Alexie's bedroom his intention wasn’t to kill him but to torture him.

He opened Alexie’s door heading towards his bed while Alexie was asleep. He reached with one hand to hold Alexie down while Alexie squirmed scared after seeing the knife in his drunk dad’s hand.

As the tip of the knife touched Alexie’s forehead it started to bleed but before his dad could continue Alexie bite his hands. And ran to hide but his dad was able to find him fast then he threw him out of the house.

For two months Alexie wondered around the streets he was starving and could barely fund food. There was a bakery owner who left bread every night outside the shop on purpose from homeless people.

Alexis would go there every night and wait for his chance then he will snatch a piece of bread to eat it.

For two months Alexie managed to go undetected by anyone but yesterday it was foggy. He could barely see anything while walking around the last thing he saw was car lights then everything went black.

Right now, Alexie couldn’t believe what he was seeing. A real breakfast was placed in front of him. He was sitting there on a balcony with a lady that looked like his mom so much that he couldn’t stop staring at her.

As Lisa sat there in front of Alexie eating breakfast, she realized that Alexie was staring at her she just gives him an amused smile making him blush. “Is there’s something on my face?”

Alexie blushed even harder and look down shaking his head. “My Mommy looked like you,” Alex mumbled in a hush sound, but Lisa was able to hear it.

Liza's eyes grow bigger for a second from the surprise then she smiled.

“Well, my baby looked exactly like you,” Lisa said.

“You have a baby?” Alexis said surprised. He felt envy Lisa looked like his mom and was as sweet and kind as she was.

He felt envious because he lost his mom while Lisa’s son was still with his mom. He didn’t want anyone to lose his mom. He just wanted his mom she was his hero she was everything for him.

Lisa shook her head wiping a tear from her eyes. “I don't have a baby anymore,” Lisa said. Seeing Alexie in front of her didn’t help her forget he reminded her of Tommy. Every time she looked into his eyes; she would see Tommy.

Alexie understood what happened, he felt bad for Lisa and felt guilty for envying Lisa's son. "I am sorry, " Alexie said guiltily.

"Don't apologize, sweetheart, nothing happened, now eat your food, " Lisa said. And Alexie started to eat.

He still couldn't believe that someone other than his mom would make so much food for him, but he wasn't ready to leave the food that was put in front of him.

Lisa watched him eat with a smile she missed having breakfast with someone. Looking up at the bandage that covered the wound on his head she wondered.

Who would do such a thing and why? She was determined to find out and when she does, she wasn't going to forgive whoever it is that hurt Alexie.

The boy was innocent just like any other boy his age. Knowing that such a little boy was left on the streets people don't know the value of their children.

She found it unfair that these people go to keep their children while she lost hers.

"Tell me, sweetie, " Lisa said and Alexie looked up at her while his mouth was full of food she almost laughed while seeing his mouth full of food. "Where're your parents?"

Alexie looked down for a bit not saying anything he then swallowed the food and cleared his throat.

"Mommy died one year ago and dad doesn't like me, so he kicked me out, " Alexie said as his eyes started to tear up, he soon started to cry.

Unlike Lisa Alexie was just a child he can't hold his emotions as she can do.

For two mounts he cried himself to sleep on the cold floor without the comfort of his bed or the love of his mom.

He missed her angelic smile the way she cared for him reading a story for him every day before going to sleep.

This time he expected nothing else, this time, however, was different. This time he found himself being held in Lisa's arms as she hugged him and rubbed his back. That caused a warning feeling to spread all over his body and he started to cry even more.

"It's alright now, let it all out, " Lisa said as Alexie buried his face in her chest. For some reason, he felt safe with Lisa. He may not know her yet, but she took care of him fed him. She wasn't his real parent, yet she treated him way better than his dad ever did.

That was everything, Lisa needed she would never let Alexie get back to a monster like his dad. She knows that one call with her lawyer and everything will be done. Then she will be able to adopt Alexie.

Lisa wanted to put that monster behind the bars in cages where monsters like him belong to she vowed to destroy that man and she will make sure he can never get near Alexie ever again.
