Charlotte's POV.

The next morning I quickly went to Adrian's room and he was gone. I checked all the rooms but I couldn't find him. I knew letting Adrian stay in his own room was a bad idea. What if Damien ran away with my baby. 

"Casandra." I went into her room and she was still in bed. If she is here than he probably left her behind. "Where is your fiancee?" I asked and she got up.

"Check outside." She mumbled, rubbing her eyes. "And stop shouting like a crazy woman."

"You will see me go really crazy if something happens to my baby." I left her room and went downstairs. 

I quickly went to the garden side of his house and he was holding my Adrian. 

"Give my son." I took Adrian from him. "Why did you take him out of his room without telling me. Do you know how worried I was?" 

"Charlotte you can't expect me to ask you permission to hold my son or take him out of his room. I am also his parent so stop acting like I am a stranger." He said.

"Damien, you keep saying you his father but you know nothing about him. You don't know what he likes, what he hates, and what he is allergic so stop calling yourself his father when you don't know him." 

"I agree that I know nothing about him but it's your fault. Char, I don't like fighting and arguing with you but it's really your fault I know nothing about my son. You never let me hold him or spend even a minute with him."

He really knows nothing about him. I thought he was the one that sent me the file that stated I was still pregnant. I thought he never wanted to be part of this baby's life because he hates me but I was wrong all this time. He is not the one that sent me the file nor the person who saved my baby's life so who is the person who helped me. 

Up until this day, I still remember the letter they send with my file but when I read it a big part of me thought it was Damien.

'You lost your first baby but this one, won't die so easily. I'll protect you no matter what. I'll kill even if I have to because no matter what I do, I'll never make it up for everything I did to you. This is the least I can do for someone who did so much for me. I made some foolish choices in life, I was drunk and I took your life away from you. But I promise you as long as I live. I'll make up for everything I did to you.'

"Why are you crying?" Damien asked and I wiped my tears.

"None of your business." I faked a smile and walked away with Adrian. Someone in this world helped me but I can't even thank them because I don't know who they are. I could ask Benjamin to help me find them but he is busy with Sofia's kidnappers. So I will have to go to that Coffee shop and ask for the footage. I will watch that footage a million times until I find the person and Aiden can help me. My boyfriend is a genius and he won't mind helping me find the person who saved my baby.

I put my baby down and called Aiden. 

"Hey Aiden, how are you doing? I miss you." I said, the second he answered. 

"Hey, my love. I am doing great, now that you call so how's little Adri? Did he get used to the new house."

"Adrian is doing well but he missed you a lot so come visit soon." I hope he tells me he is still in town.

"Char, I will only be able to visit you and Adrian tomorrow because right now I am out of New York. I am sorry love but if it's an emergency and you need me right now, just tell me and I will do everything from here." 

"Well, I wanted you to help me get footage from the coffee shop we had a fight in, last year. I need to find out something."

"You want a recap of how we almost beat each other up?" He giggled.

"No." I answered. "Aiden, remember when I told you the father of my child wants nothing to do with me and my baby and he is the one that sent me a file telling me I am still pregnant." 

"Yeah, I remember."

"Well, the letter and the file were not from him. Someone else helped me and I don't even know who it was. The only way I can find that person is by checking the footage of the day we met again in the coffee shop." I said.

"Charlotte you will have to go to that coffee shop as soon as you can and make sure you get the footage because if the person who helped you is a total stranger than they will want a favor from you, one day. It's easy to get the footage, just tell them someone stole your diamond necklace and make sure you tell them you are a Carson so they can help you."

"Okay, thank you. By the way, come back to New York, please. I really can't cope without you." 

"Char, you live with Damien now and I am sure Damien will help you if you ask him for help. So while I am away, don't hesitate to ask him for help."

"Aiden, are you crazy?" I don't understand why he constantly defends Damien. Aiden is the worse boyfriend when it comes to treating exes. I know every man in this world wouldn't say good things about their girl's ex-boyfriend.

"Char, we all adults and it's not a bad thing if you ask him for help. He is Adrian's biological father." He said.

"Aiden, if you don't want me to ask for your help than just say it, instead of telling me---."

"That is not what I was trying to say. Char, you know I love you." He interrupted me. "You can call me, anytime whenever you need my help. You know I will always help you.

"I really miss your sweetness. I am living with two idiots who are heartless." I mumbled.

"I need to go now. I will call you back later, bye." He disconnected the call. 

I wonder, what is so important that he didn't even give me a chance to say 'bye'.  He didn't even reply to what I said. He could've just said that he missed me too but he needs to go, rather than just telling me he will call me later.

I need to feed Adrian and get ready to investigate the person who helped me.

Third Person's POV.

"Delete the footage." The person pointed a gun at the man in the camera room. "I know this place is connected to that coffee shop so delete the footages."

"What footages?" The man asked, terrified. 

"There was a shooting outside this place last year and Charlotte Carson was also present here. So delete the footage six months before the shooting and the footage of two months after that." 

"I can't do that. We have to---." The person pointed a gun at the guy and he quickly started deleting the footages. "It's done."

"And what about the copies?" The bodyguards took the gun from their boss. "I have done this before, I know there are copies and it's easy to restore deleted data so make sure you destroy everything here. Don't disappoint me, boys." 

"What are you saying?" The man asked.

"You don't need to know anything." The person spat. "I want six months of footage before Charlotte got the file and two months after that destroyed and I want today's footage destroyed. So boys, make sure no one ever finds out about this." The person turned back to the security guard. "And if you ever utter a word to anybody, you dead."

"I won't tell anyone anything." 

"There is nothing to tell anyone." The person smiled. "Except Charlotte. That woman will be here very soon so make sure you tell her, this place caught fire a few months ago and some footages got destroyed. Make sure she believes every word of yours or else, you dead." 

"Boss, do we also pay him." One of the minions asked.

"Yes. Give him the money when all of this is done and make sure he doesn't utter a word to Charlotte."
