JUST HOLD ON

CHAPTER 8

Adrian's POV

"Fuck" I cursed under my breath. When she told she hates me I felt like my whole world came down crashing.

But I was happy that my mother was finally out of coma. Now I can finally get into business.

I called up Dad.

"Hey son. So, I think you heard the news." He sounded so happy.

My heart broke that I could not be with them, but it was worth it.

"Yes. Can I talk to her?"

"Yes son. Go ahead."

"Mum?" I whispered hoping she could hear me.

"Oh my god, Adrian." She sobbed.

"Shh.. do not cry Mum. Please." I begged.

"How are you? Where are you? I missed you."

"I missed you too mum. I am so happy that you are finally awake. Dad will explain everything to you. But only when you get discharged. Just promise me not to tell Al, I will tell it to her and explain everything." I said.

"Okay. I do not like hiding things from you guys. So make it quick." She said.

"But you did hide the fact that I am not your son."

Shit. Adrian you are an asshole.

"Adrian." I could hear dad shouting.

"It is okay love." She meant that to my dad.

"I am sorry mum. I did not mean like that." I apologised.

"Do you see me differently now Adrian?" she asked.

What the fuck.

"No. Never."

"Then you are my son. I have taken care of you since you were 5 years old. I know your dad said that I was away for some work for 2 years but now you know the truth."

"Yes."

"Mr. Philip, we have to do certain tests. Please wait outside." I heard the doctor talk.

"I love you, Adrian." She said.

"I love you too Mum. " I replied.

"Son, are you planning on visiting?"

"Yes dad. Ofcourse. Do you know when Al is leaving?"

"Yes, in 3 days. She had to leave after 5 days but she could not get tickets due to last minute booking."

"Okay, I will come once she leaves. Can you tell mum I am sorry, I was just frustrated by the fact that Al hates me" I replied.

"She could never hate you, son." 

I didn't want to tell her or confront her yet. I want to at least finish the whole thing before I could tell her, so she can understand.

I looked at Fahad.

"This calls for a celebration. Let me call Vincent, Gideon and Lisa. They will be happy to hear this. Lisa will be the happiest." He smirked.

I shook my head and went to get changed.

~~~

"Hey Adrian." Lisa hugged me.

"I am so happy." She exclaimed.

"I know." I smiled at her.

We ordered for dinner and spoke about important stuffs and went on to drop Lisa.

"So, you going to visit her?" she asked when we were near the parking lot.

"Yes. In three days." I smiled at her and kissed her.

"I know she is your fiancé, but she is still my daughter. Please do not do that infront of me atleast." Lisa's father Greg Tamish.

The one and only powerful man of the entire New York business.

"Ah Greg, never saw you coming." I said getting out of the car.

Lisa giving me a known look.

"Anyway, I hope you both decide and let me know a date so that I can schedule the meeting accordingly."

"Yes dad. Bye Ace." Lisa waved and I zoomed away.

As I reached the apartment, I got a call from Lisa.

"Already missing me?" I teased.

"Missing my ass. We really need to put an end to this Adrian. Your real name almost slipped my mouth when dad kept asking questions about our wedding date." She sighed.

"Yes, we will be done with it day after tomorrow. You just make sure that your mom is with you all the time. I got to know from a source that he is planning to kill her after our wedding."

"Oh no. I hope everything goes on fine Adrian. I do not want to lose her." she sobbed.

"I promise. You won't. We owe your mom Lisa. If she would not have helped us she we would not have made so much progress and she would not have been in this danger too."

"Yes. Okay will see you the day after. The D-day." She chuckled.

"Yes." I laughed too and ended the call.

"Your end is near Greg Tamish." I spoke softly.
