Chapter 8

"The patient is already in good health and the wound has closed, he can be discharged today just go to the billing for discharge."

The doctor went out and Dominic paid the bill and he went out.

"Cris, pack your things we are going out" Evan said

"Dad, where is Sir Theo?" Cris asked

"He attended some business matters. He'll be here soon, don't worry." Evan said and smiled

"I'm not worrying…" Cris said

"You don't miss me lil Cris?" Theo said as he arrived

"Uncle Theo!" Cris shouts as he looked back

"Hey, why are you calling me uncle?" Theo asked

"Why would I not call you uncle? I'm just being polite sir…" Cris said

"Ok fine…" Theo replied

Evan and the rest went home. Days pass by, it feels like a complete family. Evan and Theo seem to get closer and Dominic feels comfortable with Theo and accepts the relationship between his brother and Theo. Evan went back to his busy life, if before he was always alone joining some business expo he was alone, but now he is with Theo. Cris stayed with Evan and enjoyed his moment with his father even though Theo always stole his father away from him, he also enjoys being with Theo.

4 months later Evan was called for a fashion showcase at a famous mall in the country. It was the biggest event for him. He left Cris under the care of Theo, while Dominic is preparing for his exam.

"Daddy why can't we join?" Cris asked

"Baby this showcase is important to me, but I can't take care of you in there and it will be busy and crowded." Evan said

"Let's just stay here baby Cris" Theo said as he smiled at Cris

"Ok then but we must eat pizza tomorrow" Cris said

"Just pizza? Sure why not but not too much because daddy will scold us, ok?" Theo said

The next day

Evan left and brought along his design team and even Crystal.

Theo brought Cris to the studio and Cris met a lot of his favorite musicians.

On the way home.

"Uncle Theo…" Cris called Theo

"Yes baby?" Theo

"Can I call you papa?"

"You want to call me papa?"

"Yes… you are always there with me and treat me like your own child… even Dad never treated me the same way you're treating me, and I'm so thankful for it and thankful that I met you… please take care of me and Dad in the future…" Cris said

"Of course baby… wahh I'm tearing up, are you sure you're only 7 years old?" Theo asked

"I'm turning 8 this year."

"Hahaha, then let's celebrate this special moment"

MEANWHILE

Evan was busy preparing the dresses and suits for the last night of the showcase.

The showcase is already done and many investors went on to talk to Evan.

After talking and telling his staff to prepare the clothes because they're going home, Evan went to the showcase coordinator.

"Excuse me, do you still coordinate some showcases?" Evan asked

"Yes of course sir if you like let's exchange business cards"

"Sure here is mine, Thank you" Evan said

"See you soon then sir"

Evan went back to where his staff supposed to be as he walk at the parking lot he noticed someone is following him, he looked back but didn't saw anyone, as he keeps walking his instinct kick and he starts running but then a car screech caught his attention and the car in front of him is coming towards him and he starts running back but it was too late he was hit by the car and he lost his consciousness.

Evan woke up feeling so dizzy and a pain in his head started to kick in. Then he looked around the room. It was dark, wind came in from a window and he looked outside and saw a large pool that seemed to have not been cleaned for many years. Then he looked around but it was quite dark and no light, and he looked down he saw he was slightly cleaned, tracks of blood were found on his naked body. Everything was starting to be painful. Steps from the outside were heard by Evan. The door started to open and Evan started to tremble. An unimaginable fear started to creep on his body. He wanted to escape but he was tied in his hands and his feet.

As the footsteps are getting closer the more he trembles.

"How are you my love? Do you feel cold? How about we warm up in bed?" Mark said while grinning

"Mark?!! You psycho! Let go of me?"

"Then what, you'll go back to him? To that Theo?"

Mark pinched Evan's cheeks so tightly making Evan shed a tear and Mark suddenly carried out Evan from the chair and they passed a lot of rooms and Mark opened a room where red lights were blinding Evan, he started to panic and shake off Mark but it's no work and he was thrown to bed.

Evan cried begging Mark to stop. He can't shout out of fear of what might Mark will do to him, he must stay alive for Cris, Dominic and also Theo.

"I'll send you from heaven down to hell" Mark said
