Anastasia's wishes

Chapter 20 -Exhibition-

3 months later

My boy is 3 months old now. He is a very cute and lovely boy. He rarely cries, he is such a good boy. Parker, my son, reminds me a lot to Nathan. They have similar hair color and blue eyes color.  Sometimes it hurts to see him because Parker reminds me a lot of Nathan. But Parker is not Nathan. I will make that sure.

Today is one of Bree's exhibition. She has done some exhibitions lately. But tonight is the biggest. I'm so proud of her. After what she's been through, she earns it. She is a great artist. She works hard, day and night.

We leave Parker at home with a baby sitter. I will accompany my cousin to her exhibition.

"If there's something happens to him or you just want to ask me about him, don't hesitate to call me, okay?" I tell the baby sitter.

"Okay, Ms. Davis,"

"Also, this is Bree's cell phone number if you can't reach me. And if he's hungry, this is his-"

"Ms. Davis, I got it. It's not my first time with Parker. Go. Have fun."

"Okay, thank you, darling. We'll be home maybe 11 or 12."

When we arrive at the exhibition hall, there are so many reporters. I know Bree is nervous. I grab her hand tightly, " You can do this, Bee."
When we get out of the car, reporters are taking our pictures. I feel like I'm a celebrity. I was afraid that Nathan will find me after this, but I realize Australia is a long way from New York. He won't notice. He is probably busy now playing house with Lisa.

We meet some important people inside the hall. Many people are interested in Bree's art. They ask some questions, some people eager to buy her arts at high prices. I stay by her side all the time.

Nathan's POV

"I found her," my brother shouts at me. I jump for my chair.

"Where?" I can't wait to see her.

"Australia," Blake answers.

"What? How come she goes there? Is she okay? How is my baby? Is it a girl? A boy? Tell me," I ask Blake again.

Australia is far away from New York. What is she doing there?

"Sit down first, Nate. I'll explain to you," he tries to calm me down.

After Blake found out what happened to me, he quitted the Army and helped me. I told him not to do that. But he won't budge. He said family comes first. He also said that he missed home but I know better. I feel bad that he has to stop doing what he loves, but I appreciate his actions. He's been recruiting some people and lead the team to find some evidence, help me to find the best strategy, and to find my wife and kid.

"Last month I read some news about an art exhibition in Australia by an American. When I saw the artist, I remember Ana's cousin, Camila. You told me she was Ana's closest family now. I checked the picture from the news with the one that you gave me her before. The news wrote that the artist's name was Bree. I find it weird. So I investigated her. It turns out, Camila is Bree now. Her old boyfriend beat her until she almost died. Although he was in jail but for some reason, she changed her name and moved to another part of the world. That's why we can't find Camila either," Blake explains

"And?" I whisper.

I know that Camila's boyfriend was an ass. But Ana never talks about her. She said it was a secret. The fewer people know where Camila was, the better. That's what she said. I should have asked for more information.

"And Ana followed her steps. She changed her name and she's now in Australia," Blake looks into my eyes so seriously.

"Let's go now, then. What are we waiting for?" I say eagerly.

I jump from my chair. And starts moving to get out of the office.

"Eager to meet her?" Blake grins at me.

"I can't wait, brother," we walk together to the elevator. I want to run. I can't wait to see her.

"Some of our team already flew there. They need to assess the situation and prepare our coming. I have briefed them about our next steps," he smiles

"Thank you, brother," I give him a hug.

I don't know what will happen if I don't have Blake with me. I owe him a lot. I'm out of Lisa's grasp sooner because of his help. I can find my wife sooner also thanks to his help. He did a very well job. I know that he's starting to make his own company that covers protection, investigation, and other stuff. I will help him to build the company. Not only because I owe him, but because I know he'll do a great job.

"I already called the pilot. The plane will be ready at 11 AM." I see my watch, it shows 9.30. Perfect!

"Thank you, man." I nod to him.

"I won't go with you for now. I need to deal with some stuff now. But I will fly there when it's done. Some of my team members are going with you. Do you have a driver there or do you want me to prepare for you?" He takes out his phone to make a phone call.

"No, I will ask my secretary to prepare it." I call my secretary.

"Yeah. Have fun, brother. Go get your family." He grins at me.

I grin from ear to ear. Finally.
