Chapter 23. A despicable act Part 2

Christopher's P.O.V

Julius and Lenna came home late with Maxim that night. They had to attend an emergency meeting at Van's aunt's house. It seemed like there was an emergency. Evander's aunt got the dates mixed up and booked the wrong flight. She was now going to miss her father's death anniversary. Julius asked Evander to fix the problem. I didn't see Van for the rest of the night. I was disappointed that I didn't get a chance to talk to him. I got Maxim ready for bed, then took a shower myself. Maxim fell asleep while listening to the story "Jack and the Beanstalk."

I ensured the little boy was comfortable, then turned off the lights. I woke up startled when Van shook me. He handed me my phone and said, "Someone has been calling you for a while now." Maxim was sleeping on my chest. Evander carefully picked him up. Maxim whimpered, then began to sob. Evander stroked the boy's head and stated, "It's alright, baby boy. Sleep, daddy's here. No one is going to hurt you." Maxim sighed in relief, then fell asleep again. I jumped off the bed and walked to the balcony when I recognized my father's number. My father apologized for disturbing me, then uttered, "Your brother got arrested. The police commissioner is a jerk. He wants full access to our pier this time. He wants to celebrate his birthday there. We can't allow that to happen. What if he uses this opportunity to investigate our clients' shipments?"

I sighed and declared, "It's not my problem, dad. Let Ceasar clean this mess. I don't feel well. I'm going to bed now. Bye." My father yelled before I could turn off my phone, "Keanu is with him, Chris! He hasn't eaten anything since this morning. You wouldn't want anything to happen to your nephew, right?" I groaned, then stated, "You can't emotionally blackmail me, dad. Look at the time. I won't be able to function tomorrow if I leave the house now. And shouldn't Ceasar think about his child before doing anything stupid?" My mother's phone went off in the background suddenly. I knew that she was listening to our conversation. I rubbed my forehead when my mother yelled, "Keanu fell unconscious, darling! We need to get him out of there!" I gazed at the moon and uttered, "I'll take care of everything. I'll see you guys in the morning." I turned off my phone, then went to change my clothes.

Evander had dozed off. He woke up when I tried to grab my watch. Van rubbed his eyes and asked, "Where the hell are you going this late in the night?" I sighed, then replied, "I'm going to the commissioner's office. I need to get someone out of jail." I got startled when Evander grabbed my arm and said, "I thought you were over this, Chris. When are you going to learn to stand up for yourself?" I glared at Evander and said, "I don't care about Ceasar and his mate. I would never forgive myself if something happened to the baby. The child is due any day now." Evander grabbed my face and kissed me passionately. I looked in astonishment at the man. Evander smirked and said, "I'm coming with you. I must protect you from that bastard Ceasar. And don't worry. I know exactly how to handle the commissioner."

I tried to stop Evander, but he pushed me aside, then walked out of the room. I grabbed everything I needed, then woke up Maxim's nanny. I made arrangements with the woman before calling my driver. The man was in a deep sleep and didn't answer his phone. Evander grabbed my phone and said, "My driver is waiting outside. Let's not waste time." I nodded, then followed Evander. The man looked intimidating in his black turtleneck, leather jacket, and jeans. I had a habit of wearing suits on such occasions. The driver took us straight to the police station. I started feeling nauseous suddenly. I tried to hide my discomfort. Evander threw his arm around me and asked, "Should we stop somewhere so you can get some fresh air, Chris?" I shook my head and replied, "No, thank you. The sooner we get this over with, the better."

I suddenly remembered Keanu's gender. The guy was an omega. He would sense I was pregnant the moment he saw me. I laced my fingers through Evander's and said, "I have to tell you something, Van." Evander turned to face me and said, "Okay, go ahead. I'm listening." I was so nervous that I started shaking. Evander stroked my back and asked, "What are you so afraid of, Chris?" I sighed and replied, "I'm afraid you will reject me when you find out the truth." Evander scowled, then uttered, "What are you talking about, Chris? You are making me anxious. Just tell me what's wrong."
