Forced Marriage [Completed]

Chapter 17

"Anyone can have a child and call themselves "a parent". A real parent is someone who puts their child above their own selfish needs and wants"

Destiny's P.O.V

Today i wake up in peace. After sleeping tied in a chair for a whole week, i have had some back ache and also sometimes it felt lonely at night, but now, as i have been home, i feel much better.

Still one thing still bothers me, why did Zayn said so ?

I just found out that the name of my kidnapper is Zayn Quartz, and apparently his act of kidnapping is nothinh more than for revenge. Because something had happened in the past regarding Stefano.

And of course? He would take his revenge on someome precious to him, which is me.

Cliche, i know.

But still, i don't want to ask Stefano about it, and there is a possibility it might turn out to be awkward and create a distance between us.

So i have decided to come and approach that man myself, and ask him the question i have wanted to ask since day one.

But now is not the time, i mean, how can i possibly go on the weekend when Alan nag me all day to take care of him

He says he is tired of being taken care by the nanny, this is why today is basically "Mom is all mine" day for him.

And he asks me to accompany him to the children's park

I feel slightly unwell since it has only been a day since i got back home (today is the second day of home) but oh well, what other choice do i have ?

Wendy told me she would go in my place but of course, knowing Alan, it just wouldn't do, i feel grateful that she offered it, it just, i will be fine on my own.

It's not like there is going to be anything bad happening again, right ?

Gosh, please no, i am tired.

I prepare everything, from the clothes to the meal, just a travel sized back is pretty much enough for what i would need today, however, since that incident, Stefano has doubled his protection toward me. he wouldn't let me go anywhere alone, literally.

Even now, i would have to have a guard or two beside me, of course since i don't like being directly watch, they would have to stay a few inches (meters for me, seriously, no one wants someone to stands a few inches from them all the time all day long)

And even tough this house has a lot of maids, i would still have to prepare everything myself, why you ask ?

Because Alan wouldn't want to eat anything the nanny made, and also, the maids only work to take care of the house, since all babysitters that were assigned to take care of Alan gave up because he loves to throw tantrums at times, even tough he never does that to me.

Don't be deceived by his innocent look right ? The opposite of his father, maybe he got it from his mother ?

Ah, his mother, right.

I still remember her from the party, and she makes me feel uneasy.

Could it be she is somehow related to my kidnapping case ?

No, thinking badly anout someone won't take you anywhere

However, to be honest

Sometimes i feel like a babysitter, than a mom, but the feeling of watching Alan being happy trigger the motherly side in me.

What am i talking about ? I am only 25 !

Well, some people are married and have kids at a younger age than me, but i don't think having a 7 years old boy as a son of 25 years old woman is common.

At least not to my knowing.

I get ready and look at myself in the mirror. A pastel blue one piece and a simple white pump, i let my hair be tied in a ponytail. I don't feel like wearing any makeup because no one really care, so i just apply a little bit of sunscreen.

We arrive at a local children's park where i see a lot of parents with their kids, and most of the parents look like they are on their thirty or something.

Alan immediately rush out there and does his own business with the other kids, i watch him from afar as he plays, but of course, i know that there are guards everywhere, i just pretend i don't notice them.

Suddenly, i see Alan talking with a few boys his age, and i 'accidentally' overheard their conversation.

I hear one of the boy talking, he seems like the leader if this mini group consisting of three kids, with a chubby boy and a boy in glasses beside him.

They do remind me of Alvin and the chipmunk in a way, with their similar brown hair and figure.

"So, your papa is rich, huh ?"

Alan nods his head, i do see he feels slightly intimidated in a way by the way the boy is talking.

"It must be nice, right ? You only have to ask and everything is granted" the boy in glasses speak.

"Well, papa is busy, so i can't really ask him for anything" Alan says defending himself.

"This boy is too lucky, it's unfair" the fat boy speaks.

"What about your mama ?" The leader boy speaks again.

"My real mama left me, but now i have another mama, she is really nice" i can see a slight smile as he says the last part.

"Where is she now ?" He asks again. Alan looks around before his eyes finally meet mine.

"There she is !" He points his index finger at me, i feel startled as the other boys now have their eyes on me.

"So that is your mama ? She looks so pretty" the fat boy compliments, causing Alan to has a big grin on his face.

"Yup, i know, she is the best"

A smile forms in my face as i hear those words coming out of his mouth.

They keep on having a conversation but it's nothing real private anymore, and i can see Alan starting to get used to these strangers presence around him as i continously watch over him.

Time passes and everything nothing major really happened today, we just had fun and that's all.

Well, i do hope we can just spend time like this at all time, but we know this is once in a while chance.

I better get rest

Tomorrow will be a busy day.
