Chapter 55: My Son*

Lisa was trembling with fear, she didn't know who the man was or what he wanted with her. The thing that feared her the most was that she could feel his hardness of his d*ck rubbing against her, tears rolled down her face. Dreadful memories from her past rushing back at high speed like she's been hit by a train. ' was her past history about to repeat itself?'

" Stay calm." The man whispered to her ear. " I won't hurt you if you do as I tell you to, understood?." He repeated. Lisa hesitantly nods her head.

" I will slowly let go of your mouth and hands, if you try to scream...or do anything stupid, I won't hesitate to kill you right here, right now. Understood?."

Lisa nodded, The man slowly removed his hand from her mouth, and released her arms. Lisa gasped holding her chest, taking in air and exhaling it.

" I missed you quite a lot, Lisa dear." Lisa turned to the man, her eyes widened when she saw the person. Terror ran through her body like a heat of wave, slowly burning her inside with every breath she took in. Lisa took a few steps back till there was no more room to step back from, she grabbed a robe putting it on and tying the straps securely to her body.

" With that expression I'm guessing you didn't miss me a bit."

" Y-you...y-you're supposed to be in prison, w-what are you doing out?." Her voice trembled.

" Were you not counting? I have served my years, Lisa dear, plus I have been a good inmate without causing trouble, my sentence was reduced. First thing I did when I got out was to look for you, it wasn't that hard to find you when you're the wife to a billionaire, you've made a name for yourself while I was away huh."

" What do you want from me huh, money? I will give it to you... anything you want, just leave me the f*ck alone."

" Money you say?." He chuckled rubbing his nose. " I want more than money, Lisa dear."

He glanced at her from head to toe, Lisa held onto her robe firmly.

" Relax, it's not what you're thinking... even though you do look damn tempting right now." He said with a smug. Lisa glared at him.

" What do you want, Chad?."

" My son, I want to meet my son."

Lisa chuckled, laughing uncontrollably. Chad frowned, not understanding what was so funny that made her stamble back with just laughter itself.

" Son you say, what son?."

" Our son, Lisa. I want to meet him."

Lisa's face turned serious and filled with displeasure and disgusted. Chad was stunned by her sudden change of mood and aura, for a second there he felt a sense of chill run down his spine.

" Did spending half of your life in jail f*ck you up, what makes you think you and I have a son together? Are you crazy?."

" You would be the one considered crazy to think I would believe your words, I know we have a son together, Lisa dear. And I know he's the president and CEO of Z.N Group. Alec, is his name right?."

" Alec, is mine and Grange's son." Lisa grits her teeth.

" Ah, Grange, your husband. But he isn't, Alec's biological father."

" How would you know that, you don't have proof?."

" You underestimate me, Lisa dear, I might have been locked up, but I had eyes and ears outside those bars. I had someone who kept a close safe eye on you, for instance. I know how your parents kicked you out and disowned you when they found out you were pregnant, you roamed the streets like a street dog. That's when you met your so called husband, so it's not possible for Alec to be his son."

Chad smirked proudly, knowing there wasn't in anyway she could back herself up with another lie. Lisa's eyes turned red as she glared at Chad, this man standing in front her right now. Ruined her entire life in a split second, just like that everything she knew back then came crumbling down and turned into ash. Everything.

" You ruined my f*cking life, I was fifteen, fifteen!." Lisa burst Into tears. Chad kept quiet for a while staring at her, he regrets everything that happened and what he did to her. Him being a 19 year old should have known better than to force himself on his 15 year old girlfriend.

" I am deeply sorry, for everything. Lisa, please forgive me."

His voice softened, filled with regret and shame. He hated himself for it, if he could rewrite history he would have done that a long time ago and made things right, but such things only exist in movies and stories. And not in the real world.

" Get out, I don't want to see your face.... leave!."

Lisa yelled, Chad nodded without resistance.

" I will be seeing you again, I won't give up on meeting my son, Lisa. I want to do things right by both of you."

" Get out!."

Chad left the room, Lisa slammed the door behind him, weakly sliding to the marble floor. Crying out and curling herself into a heap embracing her sorrow.

" Ms Qinn, do you need help in there?."

A knock echoed inside, Lisa stood wiping her tears.

" N-no."

She went back into her own clothes before leaving the store in a hurry.

" Ms Qinn! Didn't you like the clothes, I can arrange something else?."

" No it's fine, I will have someone pick them up later, I'm in a hurry."

Lisa strode to her car, the driver opened the door for her... closing it. Driving back to the mansion, when the car stopped in front of the house, Lisa hurried out of the car dashing inside.

" Grange!."

Her voice shook and trembled. Grange was handling a serious matter with one of Z.N employee when he heard Lisa call out desperately.

" Where's, Grange?."

" In the living room, Ms." The maid informed.

Lisa dashed over to the living room. Grange stood with a worried expression, Lisa, threw herself in his embrace. Her face buried on his chest as she clung onto his shirt tightly, not minding the other person in the room who saw her crying. Grange stared at his employee, with a single stare from his boss he stood excusing himself.

" What happened?."

Grange's gaze shifted back to Lisa, he spoke so calmly as he held her shoulders so she would look at him. " Tell me what happened, wife."

" H-he... he's been _ released from prison."

Grange instantly knew who she was referring to, looking at her face and reactions. He figured the man already made contact with her.

" Did he harm you in anyway?." Lisa shook her head. " Did he threaten you or touch you in anyway?."

Grange's voice sounded cold with every word that came out of his mouth. Lisa thought about it for a while before denying it.

" H-he, he knows about Alec. He knows he is his son and wants to meet him, I'm scared, Grange. What if Alec finds out, What then?."

" I will handle it."

" How? Chad, refused to accept any money...he won't accept anything, he's hellbent on meeting Alec and telling him the truth."

" Lisa, I will handle this. Trust me."

Grange held her face, Lisa stared into his eyes. She was anxious, nervous, scared... and terrified if, Alec knew.

" You should go up and take a relaxing bath, get some rest while I take care of things."

" Promise me you'll be careful, I don't trust him."

" I promise."

He kissed her forehead, Lisa nodded.

Once she was gone, Grange took out his phone and dialed in a number.

' yes, sir."

' I want you to locate someone.'

' yes sir.'

Grange gave him all the information he has on Chad, once the call ended. He sat back to relax on the couch.

A while later, his phone rang. He swiped on the screen answering the call.

' alright.'

Grange ended the call, neatly wearing his black jacket and wrist watch, he headed out of the house. The driver opened the car door as he went in with grace, shutting the door, the car drove off.
