On The Edge

Chapter Seven.

Jason's POV

I stared at the scene before me trying hard to breath, I was so scared that the guy kidnapped my kid but there he sat smiling and playing stupid glass chess as if he was playing with someone close like Jaz, traitor! Blaine looked even more shocked than I was,."you, what are you doing here?", he questioned. Cailen turned his head and and saw me, "DADDY!!!", he ran to me knocking over several of the glass pieces he ran straight to my arms and I hugged him tight."are you okay?", I asked examining him, his face was swollen, oh God what had he done to my baby, I began to check his body for wounds, he had bruises on his arms, what kind of monster did that to a child?, I turned to Blaine, "what kind of a sick person does that to a kid? I don't fucking care who you are but no one does that to my kid, how dare you?"

"but daddy..."

"stay out of this, Cailen.", I snapped at my son.

"Don't talk to him line that.", surprisingly, it was Blaine who spoke, I was shocked into silence, "and I didn't hit him, I'd never do that, it was Dahlia."

"who?"

"my ex girlfriend.", when I still looked confused, Blaine made a face like he was being forced to take a bitter pill, "Blai Blai?"

"oh.", I definitely remember that one, annoying blonde bitch,."why didn't you stop her?"

"I did if not she'd have done worst." I looked at him sceptically, "so you didn't kidnap him to get back at me?"

Blaine shrugged,"I might have if I had even known he was your boy."

That made me confused, then why was he here? I looked to Cailen for.confirmation and he nodded, I now felt embarrassed, I had accused the guy of Kidnapping my kid when I had left him in school for over an hour. "look, sorry for accusing you..."

"and virtually calling me a child abuser?", he asked.

I couldn't help blushing, "yeah that, sorry."

Blaine smirked then folded his arms over his broad chest, "don't be, we actually brought him here to see a psychologist."

Blaine's POV

I watched the color drain from his face again, I liked yanking his chains, he was so easy to piss, the brat. Cailen was a lot like his dad, that was why he was so familiar, I was over my initial shock of knowing he had a kid, he looked like a kid himself. "you brought him to do what?"

I smiled at his outraged reaction, he looked pissed as hell, well even I couldn't have orchestraed a chain of events to fall so perfectly but it had and now I had the perfect tool to use over Jason, but as I looked down at the little boy holding onto his dad's legs my resolve melted, I had only just met him yet the thought of harming him was disturbing. I couldn't see myself hurting the kid, "look before you start going blowfish on me remember who you are talking to, I could very well kill you if I wanted to."

"you'd what?", oh shit, I had forgotten the kid had ears, he was holding his dad tight now and looking at me as if I was a monster, it made my heart squeeze slightly, "I'm just kidding, Cailen, I'd never hurt your dad." I lied bending down so I was less taller, but the kid was really small, "promise?"he asked in a small voice, "I swear it.", he looked at me for a second before diving in to hug me, that caught me by surprise but I found myself hugging him back and even impulsively kissing his forehead, "do me a favor, can you go to the kitchen and get me some ice cream?", I asked. He nodded and looked to his dad who nodded and he ran out. Mission accomplished, he was out.

"I will hurt him if it means getting what I want." I lied turning to face Jason who looked as if I had just threatened his own life, for some reason, it was almost as tight as when Cailen gave me that look, my heart I mean.

"don't.", he pleaded his large eyes filling with tears, it made me feel like a monster, "I will do anything", he begged, "just don't hurt my son."

That was exactly the response I was hoping for, "anything?", he nodded quickly, like a little kid eager to please and scarred.

"let's sit.", I motioned to my desk as I moved behind it, he sat opposite me, "look, Dimitri..."

"who?", he asked confused.

"the guy you gave your number to.", for some reason it pissed me off to remember him calling Dimitri cute, I didn't really like gays, nothing personal but I was curious why he didn't think I was cute too, "his kid hasn't spoken in years, but today we saw her taking to Cailen, so we brought him here to understand why she spoke to him.", I went ahead to explain about Altair, "do you get it now?"

"yeah.", he looked pretty serious, "Dimitri is married?", that was really all he heard.

"he's not that cute, you know.", I was pissed, "I'm cuter."

Jason looked at me closely as if trying to see it, then shook his head,"nah, he's cuter."

"fine, let's move on, I want revenge.", no need beating around the bush, "you humiliated me."

"look, I'm sorry." He didn't look sorry, he looked at bit smug, I'm going to enjoy beating him down.

"no you aren't, but I'll make you, I want you to do something for me."

He looked scared now, "what?"

"anything I say, I want to humiliate you so for as long as I want, you will have do to do everything I say."

"like what?", he looked a but scared now. That made me smirk, "like anything I say at anytime I say, once I ask you, no matter where you are."

"that's irrational."

"it's vengeance, it's not meant to be."

"I have a job, a life"

"not my concern."

"and if I don't?", he had that rebellious look in his eyes, "Toddlers have really soft bones especially a boy like Cailen. Do we have a deal?"

"fine, just leave Cailen out of this."

"I'll have my lawyer draw up a contract, one more thing, I'll be picking up Cailen from school, just to be sure, that you don't do anything stupid.", he looked horrified. "you can leave now but expect my calls, ask the guard by the door, he'll show you to the kitchen.", I watched him get up and shakingly walk out, this was supposed to be fun yet why did I feel like shit?

Jason's POV

I left "Alessandro mansion" as Cailen called it feeling scared, for Cailen, he adored Blaine and was so excited to know that he would be staying with him after school, I hate him, I really hate him, how could he do that to a kid? Make him like him so much and yet be willingly to hurt him, I needed help but I couldn't involve Jaz, so who? I could ask my dad but we hadn't spoken in years, but there was one other person the only person I could think if with the financial backing to go against someone as powerful as Cailen. Thank God for aunts. For the first time I was grateful to have a meddlesome aunt, I only hoped she could help.
