**********DIFFERENT BREED PART TWENTY TWO**********
"Why am I surprised...You know my son's name...big deal" Edward barked "Now, you better move out of my way before you end up underneath my car" He stormed back towards his car
"I MET HIM RIGHT BEFORE HE DIED" Milton barked. Edward froze
"I'd watch what I'd say if I was you"
"I'm serious...Why would I need to lie. I'll tell you everything, how we met and that" Milton declared. Edward took a deep breath
Back at Edwards' residence, Pearl gave each of the males' tea
"Safe...Miss...Auntie..." Javan stammered
"Auntie's fine" Pearl smiled as she took a seat on the sofa, next to Edward
"Alright...you've got ten minutes" Edward declared
"Fine...I was adopted by a very generous and kind-hearted...kind hearted family. T...This is my adoptive brother Javan, who is more than a brother, if that's possible, he's the most bless guy. Anyway, I always knew I was the odd one out...Yeah I got bullied because ignorant people thought I 'acted black' or 'liked black things' meaning things associated with black people. I had enough, and a few weeks ago I decided to embark on this journey to locate my family"
"Interesting...oh do continue" Pearl smiled
"I found out my ethnic make up. I found that I had Dutch and Bermudian ancestry, so I went to Holland, Barcelona, Ibiza, Costa Rica, The British Virgin Islands and then finally here. I've been beaten, robbed but I still made it. Dixon - your son...He was a sinister, and evil person" Milton barked
"Don't you talk about Dixon like that" Pearl barked back
"No..." Edward said, calming Pearl down "Continue"
"He wanted to kill me. I met him when we were at Holland. He wanted me to stop searching for you, he knew we were brothers but he didn't want us to get to know each other...like he was protecting something. It all makes sense now, but he was just pure hatred inside and out. He made it perfectly clear he wanted me dead...whether his men did it or he did"
"Oh my gosh" Pearl exclaimed
"Alright...So how did you meet him before he died" Edward asked, as he sipped his tea
"Oh...this is getting good" Javan smiled
"He chased me here from The British Virgin Islands, where my Auntie lives. I look like this because we had one massive fight. He stabbed me in my back, and was going to kill me..."
"...Yes..." Edward declared anxiously
"Javan stepped in and hit him on the side of his head. He had another large knife in his hand, and he would have killed my brother and I" Milton declared "I'm sorry...we had no choice"
"Jesus..." Pearl gasped. She looked at Edward, and was shocked at his facial expression. He was calm "Baby, why aren't you angry?"
"...I have no reason to be" Edward declared
"What?" Pearl, Milton and Javan exclaimed
"You see, Dixon was a very bad child, I can't mask that fact. He was bad and unbelievably spoilt. His Mum lavished him with everything he could want. I did the same, but most times we didn't realise Dixon was taking us for a ride, asking for things individually to us. After we divorced, Dixon took it hard. He had tried to ruin every potential wife I had in mind, but he seemed to like Pearl"
"Thank Goodness too!" Pearl smiled
"He was an intelligent boy, but he has lied to me; stolen money from me more times than I could count, that's mainly the main reason I broke up with his Mum"
