The Secret Casanova ~A Zanvis Story

TWENTY

Travis POV
Another month has gone by and my shirts are showing my baby bump now. It's still not that big, someone could easily mistake me for being fat. But that isn't the case.

My dad has visited us twice since the wedding. I think he might have changed, but I doubt it. I still keep an eye on him. He's a picky sort so we might have just gotten lucky that he was in a good mood when he visited us.

Zane has kept his promise to my dad, but he has taken it overboard a bit in my opinion. He always has to know what I'm doing, when and how much I eat, all this and that. I understand he is excited but still.

Today I've been more tired than I normally am. I don't know why. I've napped most of the day since Zane thought it would be best for me to stay in bed due to my drowsiness. I keep drifting in and out of sleep. Sometimes Zane is there when I wake but others he isn't.

I wake up again and instead of Zane, it is my dad. “D-dad… whatcha *yawn* doing here”

“I'm here for you Travis. Zane messaged me to come down here. I got here and he was gone!” He said to me.

“Any notes or anything?” I say while checking my phone. No messages.

“I didn't see anything. Looks like he didn't take much if he went out.” I get out from my warm bed to head downstairs to check things out. Zane’s keys are here but his phone isn't. Where could he have gone?

“I don't know much by you have any clue what might have happened?”

“He is probably on a walk or something” I said that more for my sake than my dad's. I honestly don't know where he would be.

After a few minutes I text him to see where he is at. No answer. I texted him again. No answer. I called him but it went straight to voicemail. His phone must be off.

“Can't get ahold of him?” My dad said coming back into the room.

“No… I-I don't know where he is at… he has gone off” I start crying since I don't know where Zane went. My dad hugs me trying to calm my crying self.

“We can go to m place if you want until someone can find him” I nod since my face is buried into his chest. Yeah we might not have the best of times, but he is still my dad.

~~~

It's been a few days an no one can find Zane. Everyone has been worried to where he might have gone. I have been living back in my dad's house for the time being dealing with this all.

Garroth and Vylad both have been working their butts off to find their missing brother. I feel like a lousy husband for just hitting here watching everyone else. But everyone else is making sure I don't stress too hard for the baby.

Dante has been checking up on me as well while everyone is looking. He truly is the best friend anyone could ask for. I haven't eaten as much as I should or slept really. Dante has figured a way to make me do those stuff. I'm just not hungry or tired at all, but Dante reminds me that I'm carrying child and that's my main strive point.

“Travis? You in here?” Dante is here again.

“Yeah” I say weakly to him, I don't want to deal with anyone but he is here now.

“Travis… don't tell me you have only sat in your bed since yesterday. You have to move around.”

“I'm staying here where it is warm” I said to him before laying down on the bed. You know, I really didn't notice until now that I actually look pregnant more than being fat. I wish Zane could be here, we could be on our couch watching Netflix, but I'm here worrying about him.

“You need to take care of yourself better. Why not you come to the park with me in a bit?”

“Not interested”

“I know you are not but you should. What happens if you can't walk when Zane gets back” He tried to reason with me.

“And so what Dante! He left me! Probably for some girl at the club! He is not coming back to a demon he is married to! That's all I am. A stupid demon that can't control their feelings” I lashed out at Dante. I didn't mean to.

I look at him and there is a scratch on his face. I look in the mirror and see me with purple eyes and dark skin. Dante has seen this side of me. But probably never directed at him. I feel so bad. He is just standing there like I didn't do anything to him.

“That is probably not what has happened here. Zane wouldn't do that. I have been watching him as long as you have been. He would never have done something like this to his friends or brothers. Whether or not he had friends in high school was a different story tho.” I stayed quiet. I didn't want my emotions to lash out at him again. I don't like it when this side of me comes out. It is always bad news.

“I-I am sorry Dante…” I finally break the silence. I was able to retract my demon form.

“It's alright Travis. You are just confused and worried. Mixed with mood swings anything could happen. I'm glad you lashed out at me than anyone else or yourself.”

“Is the park offer still available?”

“It sure is, I'll leave you to get dressed” He leaves the room closing the door behind him. Hopefully he cleans that scratch I gave him.

I swing my legs to the side of the be and get up. The weight of my little cupcake actually is heavier than I thought. It only has been a few days, but it’s grown so much. I get changed into good comfy clothes since I don't want to attempt to put my usual clothes on. I find my shoes and jacket and head out of my room into the living room.

“Hey Travis” My dad says as I walk in. I ignore the greeting and sit on the couch beside him. “That was a pretty good scratch you gave Dante there” I still didn't answer back. I put on my shoes and wait for Dante.

Nico POV
I have my Zuzu in custody. My boss told me to hang onto him and not let him escape. I feel bad, I really do. He had a nice wedding, but I think Travis saw me.

Zane is chained up to the wall. He barely woke up at all. But when he did the first time, he tried to kill me. But now he just stays there and doesn't eat or anything. He keeps mumbling about Travis and something else but I never catch what he is saying.

I hate seeing him like this, but it is part of my job. If he were to escape, my boss's plan would go capoot. He trusts that I can keep Zane here while he deals with his son. He said something that sounded like he would raise the child and have his son forget about love. But that is all a joke since guys can have a child unless adopted.

“Zane” I say coming to where he is locked up.

“What do you want” he growls

“Just wondering how you were doing”

“Oh I'm completely fine! Just peachy! It's not like I was stripped of my family or whatnot.” He said sarcastically.

“I don't like seeing you like this Zane”

“Then let me go and I'll think to spare you”

“Can't do that, boss orders”

“Who's the boss?”

“Classified”

“You know at one point I actually considered being with you. But now I'm glad I'm not.”

“Because Travis or me keeping you locked up?”

“A bit of both”

“If I get you food, would you eat it?”

No answer

“You can be so stubborn at times you know that?” With that I walked upstairs.

~~~
I hate Nico with the fire of a thousand burning suns. Why is he here still? I thought he was gone for good! But nope, he is right here keeping Zane away from Travis. OMI why did this have to happen! I smell something dirtier than a rat, I'm going to kill them. I'm going rethink my story. I'll see you all back at the horse ranch, bye!
