My soon-to-be spouse Johnalexis Diem has always used my last name, but he is unaware that we will get married once he turns eighteen because I want to do everything legally. The attorney in front of me is preparing the necessary paperwork for him.
"Sir, it's ready" after I have signed all of the paperwork. I'm eager to see my pet.
I call my driver to take me to my little angel because I can't wait to meet him after eight years of wanting to touch him but being unable to. All I can do is send him things to show him how much I love him.
He turns eighteen tomorrow, so I might as well explain everything to him. When we got to the manor, Isa, my trusted nanny welcomed me, and I thanked her before saying goodbye because I needed some time to speak with Alex.
That's him.
I open my arms in anticipation of his hug as he sits on the couch and looks at me like the most gorgeous flower I've ever seen.
"master" He calls me, and I look sorrowful.
I grab for his tiny body and kiss his hair and says, "I am not your master, and you are not my slave."
He asks, "What am I to you, then?"
My lawyer argues that this marriage must be voluntary and not forced, thus I am unable to state openly that I will soon be his husband.
I hesitantly answer, "I am the one who loves you greatly."
His eyes started to well up with tears as he said, "Love? Receiving presents is not love, Master. Withholding your presence from me for eight years is not love, and after all these years you love me?"
I kissed his forehead while he is crying and said, "I may not have been there for you over those years, but I saw you grow from afar."
He nods his head in agreement, so he knows that he is being followed by my guards "I protected you with all of my heart, but we weren't quite ready to be together at that time."
He asks "why" with a charming little sniff.
He looks at me puzzled as I explain, "because I am older than you." I silently analyze what he said, thinking, "Father is supposed to be older." he says.
How can I tell him I am not playing to be his father but to be his partner for life, whom he would share the bed with every night, the man who will satisfy all his needs as another person.
" I am not your father"
