The Missing piece

CHAPTER 25: The lost son

I had a pretty busy life, work all day and fun all night. I was married back then, to the woman I loved the most 'Irene', and she was everything I could ask for and more, but I didn't deserve her. I wasn't the perfect husband neither a good person. I cheated on her a lot, my arrogance was my drive and my charm was the weapon. (He laughed for a second) trust me, son, I didn't always look like that. I knew a lot of women in my life, many that I lost count of, and then there was your mother. I feel so bad for leading her on and making her think that she was the only one in my life. Our relationship wasn't just a temporary thing. I really loved her too, and the outcome of that love was you but I was too late to find out about it. When my wife found out about her, she decided to give another chance but with one condition; to never cheat on her, and never meet your mother again, and I took that chance. I left her, and I moved from the village of sorrows to the village of anger once I had an opportunity there to go further in my career and do what I was ambitious about. I had no idea she came looking for me with you between her arms, I assume once she saw me with my family, she left right away. From her letter, I found out, she left you at the front door of some rich family since she couldn't take care of you. Here is it (he landed him the piece of paper, which somehow survived through all those years). When Evander was reading he felt so bad for his mother, who had to make such a decision and leave her son, she must have had a hard time with that decision. Once he finished reading the letter, he looked at his father and for the first time he sat his tears free, he hugged his true father and Ulysses hugged him back so tightly, Anna Shadow and Aurora got emotional too. While everyone was looking at the reunion of the son and father, Anna looked at Adam's body and she walked towards him with heavy steps, still couldn't believe that he was dead. They brought their attention to her, and Ulysses approached her, looking at the guy on the ground and he said:

· I don't know how much this guy meant to you, but I assume he deserves to be buried and a proper goodbye.

The guys started digging the grave, and once they were done they carried him while hardly holding back their tears. They said a few words, and put some flowers on his grave, realizing that was the last time Adam was with them.
