Mew's POV

"I'LL NAME him, Luke Alexander."

I was smiling so wide right after I carried my own baby boy. I still don't know how my life would be after this day but I'm damn happy upon seeing my son. I still can't believe it. I have a son now. I looked at Ciara – the mother of my child. No, she's not my girlfriend - just someone I have fun with. A party girl, a happy-go-lucky kind of woman I met at the bar. Of all my flings, only Ciara lasted for more than a year. I asked her to move in with me in my condo when she's pregnant with my son so I can take care of them.

"When are you gonna marry her?" My mom asked me one time when she went to my condo unit to visit her first grandchild again. Her eyes were sparkling as she looked at my son. I know she already fell in love with Alex the first time she carried him in her arms.

"No Mom. I don't want to settle down yet. And we both know that being in a serious relationship is not my thing."

"But I thought you've changed your mind already. Remember, you are now a father, Mew."

"Yes Mom, that's why I will work harder so I could give my son everything he wants." I was looking at my son while saying this. "But being married is a different case, for I am not yet ready to sacrifice my self-respect once again."

I always answer that way whenever someone asks me about marriage whether I am with Ciara or not. Months passed by, my Alex is now three months old and he grew up to be a handsome boy just like his daddy. I always make sure to spend time with him no matter how busy I am with the company.

One morning, while I was busy preparing for work, Ciara confronted me. "Mew, when will you marry me? Our son is three months old already for fuck's sake."

"I already told you it won't happen right? So stop dreaming. I won't marry some girl I just met in a bar." I shouted at her then I went to my son's crib to kiss him goodbye and left the condo without sparing her a glance.

I finished work earlier that day because I plan to bring Alex to the park. I was so excited to be with my son again but all my excitement went to drain when I couldn't find Ciara and Alex in my condo. When I went to Ciara's room, all I saw on her bedside table was a letter saying:

"You don't want to marry me right? Then you'll never see your son again, Mew. – Ciara"

AN ALARM clock blasted waking me up from that horrible dream. I sat up abruptly and reach for the alarm clock on the bedside table to turn it off. I took a deep breath to calm my nerves.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. No, that won't happen again. No one's taking Alex away from me. I won't allow anyone to hurt him again.

I got off the bed and went to check my son in his room. I sat on his bed as I watch him sleep peacefully while caressing his hair lovingly. I love my son so much. He changed my life for the better. He is the reason why I work hard in expanding our businesses because I want to give him anything he wants.

I took a day off from work so I can spend some time with Alex today. I realized how I have neglected my son because I was so busy managing our company. How I had broken a lot of my promises to him that lead to what happened yesterday.

I was about to go to the meeting with the clients when I received a call from my mom informing me that Alex was missing. I couldn't focus on anything and think properly because of what I heard.
