Senior won´t wait

If they think that I would stay calm until they tell me their version of their story, they are wrong. My jet will land on time for supper. I need to know if that boy is my grandson and if he is I have every intention of recognizing him but I know will find resistance. She will be guarding like a hawk, she won´t let me through without a fight and I shall give her one.

Mason´s face when he picked me up at the airport wasn´t approving but who cares.

-          Senior, they´re not here. The boy accompanied the mother to a trip in Africa.-He stopped me.

-          You´re lying. - I said.

-          I´m not. They just boarded, I took them to the airport. Edith fought with Edward but I drove them safely to their destination.-He seemed worried.

-          So, is true. He´s my grandson?-I demanded.

-          Apparently but no DNA tests were performed.-He said.

-          Do you think we need one?

-          For emotional confirmation? No. Are you planning for Edward to share custody?  Then just to complete paper work, Yes. Bottom line, Noah Carpenter is your grandson.

I sat down in one of the chairs in the VIP lounge. All this years, I was blaming that girl for risking a catastrophe in our family. She never told us nor claims her son´s rights.

-          I´m a terrible person, right?- I asked

-          Yes, you´re. - He answered without hesitation.

-          Where is Ruth? - I asked begging for the mercy I never deserved.

-          Senior, no! You will not do that.-He was mad.

-          Mason, my life is not for you to control. If I want to see Ruth I will. - I was clear as glass.

-          No you won´t, she´s with Edith. Senior, after all the years I´ve been with you  it doesn´t bring one good memory of you making things right. I thought you were a good man. What the fuck happened to you?

He looks at me and tells all of that without hesitation. When would I stop?

-          Nothing happened to me. You know I need to protect my family’s legacy, I wasn´t taught anything else.

-          Why do you need to be so cruel? You hurt Ruth; you damaged Edith and your own son, now you want to go for Noah. Let this go.

-          I can´t. That child is my only chance to make everything right. - I started looking at the floor.

-          I don´t believe you. - He called my bluff.

-          Take me to see Edward now. I want to verify if that boy is part of my family.-I demanded.

-          Find him yourself.-He walked out not looking back.

I pissed him off but he will come around. He always does, so let me find my car to get to my hotel and then off to see my beloved son.
