THE BIRTHDAY OUTING

CHAPTER FOURTEEN

UNKNOWN POV

I can't bring myself to accept that little f**k insults towards me which is why I have made some preparation to teach him a lesson.

He thought he could get with what he did to me but not without showing him what I can really do.

I will show him what I'm really made of today. He won't even know what actually hit him right in the front.

"Is everything all ready?"

“Yes master. We're just waiting for the location of where they're going before taking action." Joe answered.

“Make sure he gets hit in one way or the other. You guys mustn't miss this opportunity."

“Well try our best, master. We just need that one call from our spy before moving out."

“I hope your guy is a smart one and won't get caught." I asked, curiously.

“Let's hope for the best, master."

“Okay. How is Steve doing?"

“He's well taken care of, master. You don't have to worry about him."

“I know Joe but I'm just worried he might not be able to take over my legacy once I've achieved my aim of destroying that little j**k."

“I'm sure he will become better."

“I hope he does because I cant have him tarnish my image in any way. Get the boys ready for action and make sure you bring me good news."

"Okay master." He bowed and left.

I hope the mission becomes a success just to teach him a good lesson and send him a sign that I'm back in action after staying away for a while.

SARAH'S POV

“Max, please slow down or you'll hurt yourself." I called out, running after him as he approached the stairs.

“I'm so happy, auntie." He shouted, taking the stairs.

“Please Max, I don't want you getting hurt again." I uttered, meeting up with him before grabbing his hand.

“Max dear, you can't keep doing that all the time, okay?"

“I'm just so happy my daddy is taking me out to have fun."

“I know honey but your daddy won't be happy if you get hurt again and I won't be happy as well."

Okay. I'm sorry, mommy." He responded in a whisper.

“You're so cute when you whisper." I chuckled as we both strolled to the living room.

We got to the living room and found Mr Russell already waiting for us. I hope he won't scold me for wasting a lot of time.

“Are you both ready?" He asked.

"Yes daddy." Max answered and rushed towards him before grabbing his hand.

"Champ, are you that excited for the outing?"

“Yes daddy. I'm happy I'll have a lot of fun today."

"That's good, my boy. Let's go and have lots of fun." Mr Russell said with a soft chuckle.

I thought he doesn't laugh or smile considering how cold he acts towards people but I guess I was wrong. I wonder what might be the cause of his cold attitude. I'm really curious to find out.

“Miss Weston! Miss Weston!" I heard his angry voice calling out to me.

"Yes sir!" I answered, immediately feeling guilty for being carried away.

"Are you done daydreaming?"

“I'm sorry sir."

"Henry, is the car ready?"

"Yes boss."

"Let's go." He said and made his way outside along with his son while Henry and I trailed behind.

We arrived in front of a park which looked so beautiful with lots of people.

"I want to try the horse ride first, daddy." Max said excitedly, swinging his hands.

"Okay son but I'll have some of the guards look after you along with your nanny while Henry and I go check up on something."

"Okay daddy." He replied with lots of happiness in his eyes.

"Make sure you don't leave his side and if you find anything suspicious, give me a call." Mr Russell instructed.

"Okay sir. I'll be on the lookout." I assured him before taking Max's hand as we headed towards the horse ride.

JAYDEN'S POV

"Do you know the main reason why I chose this particular place?" I asked.

"No boss. Did you find anything suspicious around?"

"This is actually the place Amanda and I met for the first time. I made a promise to her to bring our son here when he clocks five."

"I'm sure she's in a better place and would be so proud of you, boss."

"How could she be proud of someone who couldn't protect her. I can't get the justice she deserves. Did I really deserve her when she was still alive?"

"I'm sorry, boss. The culprit won't get away with what he did, I know that."

"He shouldn't and won't because I'll find him and when I do, I'll make his life miserable before sending off from this planet," I avowed, gritting my teeth. "Have the rest of the guards spread around. I can't take the chance of endangering my son's life this time around."

"On it, boss."

After he left, I took the path that led to the stream which was a minute walk from the park where I confessed my feelings to Amanda.

I could remember I was the happiest man on that day when she reciprocated my love. At that point, I was willing to lay down my life and everything for her. She changed and brought out the better version of me but everything is all gone now.

I'm a broken man from the inside but trying hard to keep the cold look on the outside so nobody will be able to see my weakness especially my enemies. They mustn't get to know how broken I feel after losing my late wife.

I was all alone in the stream staring at its beauty when the laughter of a little boy caught my attention.

He was trying to get his ball which was heading towards the stream and a woman was running after him calling out his name.

It shows the woman was his mother and she looked terrified he might drown into the water.

I rushed towards the boy and grabbed him before he could get into the water and carried him in my hands.

He was like the age of my son and so fragile as well as handsome.

"Oh... Jim! What were you thinking?" His mother screamed, and stopped to catch her breath.

"You don't have to scold him. He just made a little mistake."

"If you hadn't caught him on time, he would have drowned. I can't help losing another child again after my husband's death. Thank you so much mister."

"You're welcome." I responded and gave her to him.

"I'm so grateful, mister. It means so much to me." She added with a smile before turning to leave.

She really reminds me of how Amanda always gets worked up each time something serious comes up. I feel the lady and I almost have the same story. I know how she's feeling after losing both her husband and a child.

I better head back now and have some fun with my son. I would give him my time today since it's been a while since we both had fun together.

I was about heading back when I heard the sound of a gunshot which came from the direction of the park as people were rushing out.

Shit! Max! I'm coming for you, son. I cursed under my breath and rushed down there.
