Robbie"s POV"Sir Miss Sarah wants to meet you" My a.s.sistant said
Sarah is my childhood friend. I was with her till middle school but after I transferred we didn"t have much contact. Also I heard she left the country for studies from my old school mates. She suddenly reappeared last year and to my surprise, father had decided on a marriage between us without my consent. I have refused it but father thinks if she clings to me, I ll melt at some point. If that had to happen, it would have by now. I just think of her as friend, but she is not ready to accept that. What a pest!
"Tell her am busy" I said, sighing
"Why don"t you tell me that youself?" Sarah said suddenly appearing in front of the office door. She was a beautiful lady with long curly brown hair, black eyes, pretty oval face and curvy built.
"I have no time for you! Leave" I told her irritably
"How rude!" she exclaimed barging in like it was her house, "How can you be busy with just one project?"
"This project is not the only responsibility I have but I have to take care of other properties as well" I was feeling more and more nettled by her intrusion.
"I can help you" she smiled, "I too have studied business you know"
"Every company has it"s business secrets that can"t be revealed esp to a stranger" I said emphasising on the last word.
"I am your Fiancee..." she started
"Was my fiancee!! I broke the engagement. We have nothing to do with each any longer" I interjected harshly
"Ouch! That"s harsh" Sarah said rolling her eyes.
We both were glaring at each other when a loud "Rrrrrrriiiiinnngggg" of the phone interrupted it.
Both of us were startled. It was the office phone. I picked up while Sarah stood beside me arms crossed.
The one on the phone was the guard I allotted to watch over Tony and my son secretly and protect them. I know it was sort of stalking but I can"t help it. I lost them once because I was being a jerk. Now, I was too jumpy and didn"t want to lose him again. I asked the guard to give me updates after every few hours. It makes me feel at ease. But I almost lost it when I heard he and his son, packed and left in a car. I asked him to follow them.
Am I not going to get any chance at all?
Will I forever have to live in regret?
I hope he is just going for a fun outing and not leaving everything!!
"Sir, Tony Hawker and his son came to La Costa Beach"
"La Costa? That"s nearly in the outskirts of the city!" I said, my heart dropping to my stomach.
They can"t seriously be leaving right?
I saw my hyper reaction drew Sarah"s attention who was looking at me with narrowed eyes
"It seems he came to meet an acquaintance" the guard replied in a monotone.
"Who is this acquaintance?" I asked a little suprised
If I am not wrong, Tony"s father disowned him after discovering his sub gender and he grew up in Omega welfare centre. His mother kept trying to keep contact with him but his father was furious at it. Tony was worried that his father might hurt his mother because of him so he asked her not to meet him again. I know that he had a younger brother and sister too. Both are Beta. During his high school, he tried meeting them, when they were going to school but was snubbed by his dad, who scolded him in the middle of the street saying that his brother and sister doesn"t need a s.l.u.t as their older brother.
I was very shocked to see his dad reacting in such a manner. I too had problems with my dad. He at times doesn"t agree with me and he too sees Omega as cheap gold diggers but he would rather, try to separate me from the omega and make their life miserable than mine. I had never seen this side of the society where parents treated their kids with such cruelty just because of a petty thing like sub gender. Calling his own son "s.l.u.t" and treating him with such cruel indifference, I was taken aback. Later, I learnt that it was quite common among Omegas to be disowned. I remember feeling pity for them.
That day Tony cried for hours. I was a pampered kid, I had no idea how to console. So, I just hugged him and let him cry his heart out. Even after seeing all this, I still feel amazed that I ended up treating him just as cruelly. Sometimes people can really turn so selfish.
But anyways, other than them who else was he acquainted to?
"I will sent you the pictures sir"
"Alright"
The same time I kept the phone that my cellphone beeped. I picked it up and saw the picture of Tony being lifted by another guy. He was tanned, blonde guy with quite big muscular built. There were other pictures of him eating with Tony and my son. They looked very comfortable with each other. Tony looked happy in his presence. In one of the picture, the guy was looking at Tony like he was looking at the sunshine of his life. I felt my hand grip the cell phone tightly. I felt a strong pang in my heart. My blood was pumping fast.
Who was this guy?
Why was Tony with him?
Why were they together?
How do they know each other?
All these questions were running through my mind.
"Who are they?" I heard a female voice ask very close to my ear
"Sarah" I almost jump in shock. I had completely forgotten she was in the room. I quickly put my mobile in my pocket.
"Why are you acting like you have seen a ghost?" Sarah said. I could see the suspicion in her eyes
"Nothing. Just leave already. I am busy" I tried to avoid the situation at the moment.
"Who was that person? Why do you have his picture?" she kept pushing
I raised my eyes, looking at her sharply, "None of your business"
She glowered at me for a minute before turning and stomping out of the office.
