Chapter 23

Nicholas POV

"Victor what the hell happened to you and why the hell is there blood on your lip? "I said rushing over to him, "did you kill somebody? "

He turned around and walked in, "I wish because it would have been better. "

I was shocked, "what hell could make you say that? "

"They took my son Nicholas, they took Ravi aw..away from me. " He says, crying.

Ravi is gone.

And I was suddenly hit with different emotions like fear of what they could do to him and anger that they had the guts to touch what's mine.

"They? "

"Yes, they. "

"OK so who is that bitch? "

"Sonia... That woman is so vile I mean what woman would do that to her own children? "

That got me confused, Sonia has just one child...Ravi and I am sure Victor knows that because obviously he is her husband and Ravi's father.

"Victor calm down and explain to me what exactly happened. "

He took in a deep breath then served us whiskey, "we would need this if i am going to start from the beginning. " he says taking a sip, "where to begin... Ah yes let us start from how I found out that my wife of 27 years had a child before Ravi was even born. "

Wow... What a turn of event, I have always known that she was a bitch even when mum was still alive but then again I never even for once thought that she would do this to a man she claimed to love. Sonia for as long as I have known her, always cared for her body and hated the changes that occurs and she always complained how hated the fact that mum couldn't lose the baby fat she got when she was pregnant with me but let me let you mum was as slim as they come so even to this moment I didn't know the baby fat that she was talking about.

"How did you find out? "

"My source. "

"And by source, you mean Bennett? "

"Yeah anyways, she had the child a year after the wedding where she professed her undying love for me. " he says, wiping his fallen tears.

I whined at that, "That's cold. "

"Yeah it is, so anyways she hid him from me for 26 years but then I found out because Ravi promised to help his brother Adrian unknowingly to him and I had to get involved too. " He said, "Ravi being my only child, I had to make sure that whatever was happening between him and that boy wouldn't harm him even though I knew about him. "

"You knew about him? " Ok now, this got me hooked.

"Yeah, since he was born... Because he is Marcus' son. "

"I have a brother? " I said calmly.

"Yes, you are Nicholas and you have met him before. "

I can't believe this, Marcus had another son... With his best friend's wife who is also my mother's sister.

Wow, this is alot to take in, I thought as I basically threw my whole drink into my mouth. I never knew that Sonia could be this evil but as for Marcus, I knew that he was a monster the day he shot my mother in the head. What a sicko.

"You say I have met him before... When and who is he? "

"The day at the airport, the boy that was standing beside Ravi. "

Oh I remember him alright, he was kinda hard to ignore because of the noticeable height difference between him and Ravi.

"I remember him... But how come I didn't know about him up till this moment. "

He sighed and poured us another drink, "Your father made sure to keep that part of his life away from you and your mother... But then your mother found out and felt really betrayed by her husband and sister. "

I scoffed, "I mean who wouldn't... Finding out that your husband fucked your sister and got her pregnant would do that to a person, I mean even I am feeling betrayed for my mother. "

He sneezed his eyes shut, "well dear Nicholas, you are about to feel more than betrayed with what i am about to tell you. "

I just hope that whatever he is about to tell wouldn't lead to Marcus death. I am that it wouldn't increase the amount of hatred I have for but because that shit is graining.

"Tell me. "

"Your mother found out about something that she wasn't supposed to know... And Marcus didn't like that, not for a bit. '' he said with a sad smile, "she found out the son that he had with her sister and she threaten the both of them to release the custody of the boy or else she would expose this sensitive information to the press and knowing the position of your father at that time would have destroyed him and also affected Sonia's career big time. " He said finishing his drink, "As you know, he said no but Victoria did find a way to find Adrian, she got away with it for a few months but then Marcus found out about the visits and wasn't too happy about that so he took it out the only way he knew would shut her up for good. "

I took a deep breath... I wasn't about to lose my control, I had to let the man finish.

I curled my lips and gave him an icy stare, "Continue Victor, i know that's not all. "

He huffed, "kids these days, too impatient for their own good, anyways I know that a part of you is blaming Adrian for your mother's untimely death but_"

"Oh I wasn't blaming him. " I denied.

He gave me a blank stare, "deny it all you want Nicholas but know that it doesn't change anything. "

I fake laughed, "Victor, you can't seriously mean that? "

"I mean every word I say here and now because I know with all these, you will find my son. " He said, staring at me instantly.

I know that blaming Adrian for my mother's death is unreasonable but I can't help myself. My mother would have still been alive now if she didn't find out that he was even existing.

"How will you find your son?Victor, you have to report this to the authorities. "

He let out a pronounced sigh, "Nicholas, Marcus has the police in his hands and also whatever authority that you have in mind would not be willing to go against him especially with no evidence of any sort. "

I am sure i have dark circles under my eyes, i feel so drained and so tired. Marcus is a fucking monster that rake pleasure from hurting other people... Innocent people and i will stop no matter what it takes. It's time to stop hiding and face my past that has been holding me back.

"OK I will help you find your son but first you have to continue. "

"Thank you so much Nicholas... Anyways, I know that you are blaming Adrian for the death of your mother but that's not the case. "

"Then what is Victor? "

"Marcus was even worse in the way he treated that boy than he did to you. I mean what kind of parent would sell there child to sex traffickers, not for the money but to get rid of him. "

I wasn't sure about what i am supposed to be feeling but what I do know is, i feel so much guilt for inappropriate thoughts i had for Adrian, i mean i never knew that he went through a whole lot more in the hands of Marcus than i did. I didn't even know that I was choosing my own pain over his own which was very selfish of me, he is my brother and I will do anything to help him.

"It looks like you just had an epiphany. "

"Enough about the past Victor, we talk about now and look for a way to help them... And I have just the right team to help. "

Victor then tells me how needed to take a shower after he got home Which led him to leaving his office and that was how Sonia got in and answered the phone. He said that he wasn't exactly suspicious because she already was in his office so he didn't bother to check on her. So when he got out of the shower and dressed, he decided to confront her about her relationship with Marcus but couldn't find her so he checked the camera in his office and heard everything that she said to Ravi.

"I waited for hours for Ravi to get back but nothing so I checked the GPS I installed in his car... I tracked it and went to look for him but all I found was the police cleaning up the sense of an accident that happened. " He said, clenching his fist, "The car involved was Ravi's but the funny thing was that there was no body found in the car. "
