Zander Pov
Driving up in the compound I can see my mom with Talia and Ky outside.
I park at the fountain and hop out my car and rush up the steps to the front door to hug my mom.
My mom is very delicate when it comes on to death. She went through alot after my dad.
That is the main reason why around four years ago when I made my first million I convinced her to relocate to America.
The kids decided they rather stay with me than to go with her and I obliged.
"I'm so sorry son. The car just went up in flames." My mom says crying.
"It's okay mommy just stop the crying." I reply wiping her tears with my thumb.
"Badbro forward nuh."
Zues shout and I look to the direction of the sound to see him with a police officer.
The officer has a pen in his hand and he is looking around the house and taking notes.
"Mr Gallo, I'm the detective on the case and I have some questions for you." The detective says looking at me.
"Sure, go ahead."
"When last did you see Ms Fox?"
"This morning before I left the house for work." I reply looking around the house.
"Did you speak to her through out the day?"
"No"
"Why is that?"
"I left home around 8am dropped my sister at school, went to the office then left for a meeting shortly after which I just ended to come here." I reply.
"Is there anyone who might want to harm her in any way?"
"Why do you ask? I thought she met in an accident and the car blew up?" I ask him.
"Well eye witnesses claim the car blew up before the truck hit it. We have to wait on forensics to be more precise." He says closing the notepad in his hand.
"What!"
"I'm detective Derby by the way. I'll be InTouch." He says walking away.
I look at Zues and he looks at me and we both look out at my family.
My mom needs to go back to America.
My mom is trying to prepare dinner while the kids are upstairs and Zues is on his phone.
I'm just scrolling through Instagram looking through the many posts and comments about the accident with Abby.
"Son can I see you for a second?"
I move towards the kitchen making sure I unbotton my shirt to get comfortable.
"What you have on your mind?"
"Son I was going to tell you this evening that I would be leaving Tom because I have to watch Zion while his mother is away....."
"It's fine."
"You didn't let me finish. I can postpone until you feel like you can handle things."
"Mommy I'm fine. When you gonna let me meet Zion and his mother?"
"Never. Now get out of my kitchen let me prepare something for you and the kids."
I laugh before grabbing a handful of carrots and running out of the kitchen.

"Zander mommy is leaving."
I can hear Talia screaming right at my ears which is awful so early in the morning.
"Talia why are you in my room?"
"Mommy is leaving right now so she can catch her plane. You have to drive her to the airport."
"Fine, leave let me get dressed.
I pull on my cut off foot jeans with my white polo shirt, white Reebok and my gold jewellery.
My mom is standing at the front door with her suitcase and neck brace in her hand.
"You well ready man." I say to her hugging her.
"If you have to cry Zander I want you to. No one says you have to be strong all the time."
"Me alright mommy."
"Zander it's okay. You kissed your girlfriend later and the next thing you know she is dead. That's not normal and you need to grieve."
I nod kissing her cheek before hugging her one last time and stepping back.
"Talia forward you and Ky." I yell walking out to my SUV outside.
It's been a few hours since my mom left and Talia is out with her friends and so is Ky.
If Abby was still around I would be more than occupied. I miss her but I also understand that life goes on.
A message pops up on my screen from Zues.
