CARRYING HIS BABY

9

The car pulled over in the compound and the other two behind it, did the same. The family butler, Damon, opens the car door and Zyaire steps out.

"Welcome master Zyaire" the butler greeted with an almost unnoticeable smile on his face as he leads Zyaire into the house.

The house was the same, no changes made. It still had the same red, velvet drapes up against the windows. The same black rug that lay on the equally black marble tiles, in the center of the room.

His eyes looked over the place and his hands slipped into his pockets.

"Zyaire honey" he heard and turned. His eyes met those of his mother and a smile graced his face as she approached him.

"Hey mum" he said as she held him in a hug.

"Zyaire, I missed you so much" she said sweetly as she released him

"Missed you too" he said and she hit his arm

"Liar. I haven't seen you in two years and you tell me you miss me. Why didn't you come visit?" She asked with a small pout on her lips.

"Work and all. Sorry" he said with a small smile

"Obviously. The only time I see my son is on TV or magazines" she complained and he let out a small laugh

"I'm here now, don't worry" he said and she smiled at him.

"Why are you growing your hair so long? You can even put it in a bun now" she asks brushing her palm on his hair and he chuckles

"Don't I look handsome though?" He asks

"So handsome" she smiles and he smiles back sweetly

Just then the door opened and Zuleika walked in with Damon who left almost immediately. She saw Zyaire and their mother and her face remained as blank as it was when she walked in

"Zuleika" her mother said and Zuleika walked over to the couch and sat down.

"Won't you give your greetings" her mother asked and she looked at her.

"I would give my greetings when I think you deserve them" Zuleika said coldly

Along the line, she had just developed a feeling of hate towards her mother. She hated how her mother acted like she cared, she hated how she spoke to her like everything was okay.

The truth was it wasn't just her mother, it was all of them in the family and she had no plans of giving them a chance at her kindness and love.

"Someone's feeling bitchy" Zyaire says and she glares at him

"The big head speaks. Great" she says sarcastically and the door opens. They turn to the door and watch Zoey and Zayne walk in.

"Heyyyy" Zoey said rushing to them and engaging both her mother and Zyaire in a big hug

"Hey Zoe" Zyaire says with a smile

"Hey guys" Zayne says and his mother pulls him into a hug before releasing him.

"Zayne, how are you doing?" Zyaire asks and Zayne shrugs

"Been okay, you?" He asks

"Same. Work and all" he says and Zayne nods.

Zyaire turns to their mother with a frown. They had met her but where was the man who wanted to see them in the first place?

"Where's dad?" Zoey asks even before he could

Their mother's face became a frown and her voice a tone above a whisper. "He's upstairs, you should come see him" she said and the frown of their faces couldn't grow more.
