CHRISTINE's POV

Hearing my son's screams while trying to wiggle out of his father's arms hurt me so bad but I was quick to pull myself together. This wasn't the time for me to be weak and let my emotions rule over me. I drew a deep breath before walking towards them.

"I want to go home! Cade and the others might be waiting for me already!"

"Son—" Jace was about to say something but I interrupted him. He was sitting on a squatting position while trying to pacify JC.

"Mi amor, let me." He looked up at me and JC did the same. I smiled at him and finally stopped thrashing. His lips parted in surprise upon seeing me.

"Miss Christine?" His little eyebrows furrowed in confusion as his gaze shifted to Jace and me simultaneously.

"Yes, it's me. Can we have a talk?" I asked with a friendly voice. He went silent for a couple of seconds. Jace finally let him go and then took a step backwards from him, giving me the chance to be near JC.

"B-But I want to go home now, Miss Christine." Him calling me that hurt me inside but I had to endure. I know that he would gradually warm up to us in time. We just need to be patient.

"You're home, sweetheart."

"I'm home?" He looked around. "But this is your home." I shook my head and then sat in a squatting position to level our heights. I then held out my arms for him. I didn't want to just hold him because he might be surprised or worse, reject me.

"Come closer to me." I coaxed him gently. He looked hesitant to come near me but he did it anyway. I gingerly took his hands this time, waited for him to push me away but he didn't. I released the breath that I didn't know I was holding before looking into his eyes.

"Listen to me, sweetheart. This place is your daddy and mommy's vacation house. In short, this is your house too. Our house in New York is our home. Soon, we will go home."

"You two are my real mommy and daddy?" He asked, still confused but I could see the longing and hope in his eyes. I cupped his face and then nodded my head. For some reason, I felt emotional again.

"Yes, sweetheart. You are our son. The bad guys took you away from us when you were still a baby that's why you got separated from us. We've been waiting for your return for so long and now, you finally came back home to us." My voice cracked because I suddenly remembered all those times when we were mourning for him.

I thought, I was going crazy back then and I lost all the will to live. Thankfully, I managed to get through it even though I couldn't accept JC's death.

Everyday since that day was so difficult for me. Everything hasn't been the same since then, especially that Jace and I got separated. But now that our family was finally complete, all those tears and pain would surely be replaced by happiness.

"But papa said that I don't have a mommy and daddy anymore because they died when I was still a baby."

"Papa? Who's that? Doctor Baron?" I asked and he nodded his head. I looked at Jace's direction and I could see that pain that passed through his eyes. It must be hard for him that our own son, calls another man his man not to mention that this guy was the one who was responsible why JC got separated from us.

"Don't call that man 'papa', son, because he's a bad guy. I am your one and only father and no one else. Doctor Baron and his men were the ones who took you away from us. He was only lying to you because we're still alive." Jace responded for the first time. He looked so serious. His jaw was obviously flexing as his grey eyes were smoldering.
