Amelia's P.O.V

Coming back from Zandar's party, made me realize some things, Parenthood changes us all the cold, ruthless billionaire is a loving father to his wonderful daughter and he will be a dotting father in the future. Skylar initially showed his love for Nathan but is slowly fading away, he might look alike Skylar but the fatherly affection is still missing, also I never heard Skylar, mentioning Nathans's mother anymore and whenever I tried asking him about her, he always changed the subject. I always felt there is more to it in his story. Nathan's birthday was around the corner and the I had a perfect plan to discover the hidden parts of the story. I call Pete and after three rings he picks up his phone,

"Hey Amelia" he replies.

"Hey Pete I need your expertise on some matter"

"Ask away " he replies.

"I told you about the story which Skylar told me about Nathan's mother and I feel there is more to it than he says. Can you confirm the story?" I ask him.

"I was suspicious too about his coming back in the society after staying away for too long " he pauses and continues "also I heard that Skylar had an elder brother who went missing when he was 19, apparently he ran away and was on the move since then, but rumors have that he had some information on the illegal works of his family and also he was caught and killed on a crossfire," he tells me.

"I need you to find me information on Nathan's birth mother," I tell him.

"Did he give you a name ?" he asks me.

" Yes... but I don't remember.. oh wait.. it was Nina.. but I don't have a full name and all I know she had a brain tumor and I don't think it's true but that's all I know for now" I tell him.

"Ok, I will start my search soon". He tells me and hangs up.

Maybe finding her might get me a clue on Skylar's true identity.

For the next few days, Pete was searching about the Nina character but no clues were found, something was definitely suspicious about the family. Skylar as usual was spending a lot of time with us and sometimes Zander would drop Myra and Fiona for a play date as the kids really bonded well. But not once did I hear about Skylar talking about his family or most his father. I wanted to confirm if his father was the person who spoke to me on the phone or was he the person who had kidnapped Zander, but whenever the question about Skylar's family would come his way he would successfully avoid it. Cunning man!!!

"Skylar do you have a minute?" I ask him looking up from my laptop.

He was working on the sofa of my office because it was of our dinner date.

"Yeah sure" he looks up and I take a moment to watch his features which I used to find cute early on suddenly don't even interest me anymore. He was looking at me and for outsiders, it might look like we were busy staring at each other but I on the inside was regretting my past action and cursing my judgments.

"Amelia" he called me out and put me out of my zoned out state and for a moment I forgot what I was thinking about and I saw him opening his mouth again.

"Why were you making faces at me?" he asked me surprisingly and I wished so hard I could tell him the truth but chose to give him a lazy smile.

" You looked cute by the way" he smiled at me handsomely.

Cute my ass!!

"Skylar when am I meeting your family?" I asked in one breath.

He looked up at me which hitched my breath for a moment and the look on his face was very scary and I was worried about it.

"I mean we are dating for quite a while now and I want Nathan to know his father's side of the family, I mean about his grandfather or ......any uncle" I ended very slowly, it was very silent for a moment and the hard look on his face made it seem that my plan is about to fail, but when he opened his mouth he totally surprised me,

"I thought you'll never ask. I wanted you to take the initiative and I was glad that you are serious about me" he looked a completely different person from what he was a moment ago.

I internally regretted it because he looked like he trapped me good and I felt something was not right.

Did I screw up??

Zandar's P.O.V

Children are a blessing in disguise and my Myra is an angel which God had sent me, she calls me papa and makes my heart flutter every time. She is well-acquainted with Nathan and Fiona so well and she started showing her bubbly nature and my house feels like home again. We visit our parents every weekend and she loves to bake cookies with mom. Every day after I come home from the office we have our Talk time as she likes to call it Papa Chat.

We would tell each other everything which we did in a day, though she would not understand what I do she would enthusiastically nod her head and smile at me which relaxes me so much and it is our tradition now, and after dinner every time I would tuck her in her bed kissing her good night, she would, later on, crawl up to my bed and sleep on the chest. Being a father was indeed the best gift I have received.

We were having breakfast in the morning when I received a call from my PI, I look at my angel and she was busy eating her muffin, I pick up the call,

"Good morning sir" I hear.

" Good morning, any news?" I ask him.

" Sir about your kidnapping it was related to some mafia who were trying to get hold of some shipping deals with Russia also the recent deals we got with the other companies".

"Mafia ?? Russian Mafia ?" I asked them shocked.

" No sir, one of the local mafia" he informed.

"I want all the information and the name of the person behind it". I told him and cut the call.

I take my angel and I drop her at my mother's house and then I go to the office. Although out my way to the office I could not think of one person who would want to harm my business and also Mafia was the puzzle that was absolutely not fit in the story. My construction business and my deals with Russia were very confidential and no land mafia would know because it won't be set up till the end of next year... My Russian deals were a pre-deal to a huge offer which I could not lose. I reach my office and call a number, which is the only one who could help me,

"Hey Pete, Do you have a minute?".
