Chapter 15

*Mommy I want a dad*

It was already 5 pm when Melody finished working, she went straight to school to fetch her son.

Alexandra's face beamed with happiness when he saw his mother " Good evening Mom, how was your day? " He asked.

Melody frowned, when she saw her son this happy, she knew he wanted to ask her something, but she did not expose him. So she played along. " My day was good dear. How was your day at your new school "? Melody smiled

The little boy smiled mischievously " So Mom, did you get to know uncle, he is a nice guy, isn't he? " Alexander asked

Melody squished her eyebrows together looking at her son " He is a good guy, we just had coffee that's all " Melody said, she was trying to understand where the conversation was getting on.

Alexander leaned forward to his mother " I want you to get married to him, and make him my father " he whispered.

Melody widened her eyes in shock " Alexander what are you talking about?" she asked looking at her son in disbelief

Alexander crossed his arm " Mom, I want a dad. Other kids mock me at school. If you are not going to marry him and make him my father I will not eat anything nor will I talk to you " Alexander said, looking outside the window.

Melody's mouth hangs open loosely" Alexander what are you saying, aren't I taking good care of you, why do you need a father for? and that uncle Brian of yours he, not kids play, he is the owner of the Williams Corporation" Melody explained.

Alexander looked at his mother for a brief moment. " Mom, if you don't do what I want, please don't talk to me, " Alexander said.

Melody swallowed hard, she tried to say something, but no words came out of her mouth.

In no time they reached home. Melody parked the car in the garage, Alexander got out of the car without talking to his mother. He walked into the house heading straight to his room upon reaching there, he walked inside and slammed the door behind him.

Melody followed behind her son, she put her bags on the couch and sat down. She let out a heavy sigh and rested her head on her knees.

How on earth was she supposed to ask Brian to Marry her, it was just impossible.

' What do I do? That boy is stubborn. lemme make dinner and see 'Melody thought.

Melody went to the kitchen and started making dinner for her and her son. In no time she was already done cooking and serving the food. She cooked Mashed potatoes, beef stack, and gravy. She finished serving food.

Melody was very satisfied with what she made, she knew that her son can't resist Mashed potatoes no matter what. "I will go and call him now, " Melody mumbled, as she walked to her son's room. She knocked on the door as soon as she reached her son's door.

" Alexander, open the door. I've made your favourite meal, come and eat while it's still hot " Melody said with trembling lips and chin, she was afraid that her son would refuse to come out of the room.

" Go away from here I don't want to talk to you," Alexander said angrily.

Melody felt pain in her chest, the kind of pain she could not describe. She went back to the dining room and sat on the chair " Maybe he is going to come, I will wait for him " Melody mumbled, tears pouring out of her eyes, she rested her head on the table.

It was around 2 . When Melody opened her eyes, she looked around the dining room searching for her son, but she did not catch a glimpse of him in the dining room. Melody took a deep breath trying to calm herself down, she wanted to burst into tears. She stood up and walked to the couch, she took her bag and brought the card that she was given by Brian and her cell phone and dialled Brian's number.

{Ring *ring }

Brian was seated on the chair, holding a glass of blood watching the moon, his room was dark. he was lost in his world when his phone rang

*Ring, ring* Brian frowned when he saw the caller ID was unknown, and he answered the call.

" Who is it? " Brian asked coldly.

" Sir it's me, Alexander's Mother, can you please come over to my house, " Melody said in a trembling voice on the phone.

Brian drew his eyebrows together, he knew that Melody was crying " I will be there soon " Brian said as cut off the call. Brian walked out of his room in a hurry, and went straight to Samuel's room, he did not even bother to knock.

" Sam, I need you to send a car to the address I will send in your phone, I will teleport myself there," Brian said.

Samuel crossed his arm on his chest looking at his brother in disbelief, he did not even bother knocking " Firstly knock before you enter, secondly greet before saying what you want so please go back and knock. " Samuel said showing his brother, the way out

Brian sneered when he heard his brother say " I'm not asking you, but I'm telling you what you should do " Brian said, he wore his mask and disappeared out of the room.

Samuel could only shake his head, " This brother of mine will never change, he is so rude " Samuels murmured.

In no time Brian reached Melody's house he was fast because he teleported himself there.

Ding ** the doorbell rang.

Melody stood up and walked to the door, she opened the door for Brian to enter. Brian entered the house.

" What happened?"Brian asked as soon as he entered the house, he stopped on his track, when he saw tears in Melody's eyes.

Brian's eyes widened in shock when he saw her in this state, he could not describe the pain he felt in his heart " Hey! What happened to you? " Brian asked softly, closing the door behind him.

Melody lowered her head, her neck appearing to shrink " Alexandra locked himself in the room, he refused to eat dinner. Can you please talk to him, you are his friend" Melody said as she wiped her tears.

Brian opened his mouth to say something, but no words came out of his mouth. They both went to Alexander's room

Melody closed her eyes and took a deep breath," Alexander opens the door, I called uncle Brian here " Melody said trying to stop her tears from falling.

" You are lying, go away" Alexander yelled.

Brian felt pain in the back of his throat, eaten by guilty" Alexander opened the door, don't you want to see me ?" Brian asked with a soft tone.

In no time the door opened and Alexander came out of his room, his eyes shining with happiness" Uncle Brian you came " Alexander shouted as he hugged Brian.

Brian smiled and he was happy seeing his son happy" I came for you, why did you refuse to eat?" Brian asked as he broke the hug.

Alexander smiled " I wanted you to come here," Alex said smiling, he did not bother looking at his mother.

They were about to head back to the kitchen, but Alexander fell to the ground.
