Chapter 6 LAUDERHILL'S.

Mason.

"This way Young Master." l nodded in agreement even though I didn't recognise their faces but I already knew they were sent by my Father as the called me by my home name, l held Kai's hand and helped him to get his feet down,

"Let's go, Kai"

I held up his little hands as we walked to the VIP entry,

"This way Young Master,"

" l hurried as my legs could go with Kai's, the warm sun hit on my skin as we got to the plane, l smiled at my favourite Mason's Dassault falcon 2000, the very private jet with a compatible luxury size and can go in an intercontinental range of 3,130miles.

"Kai, let me help you, I yanked him up in my arms as l got on the steps,

" Kai sit with me okay? I chuckled as he smiled at me, l began to fix him up comfortably and be extremely safety cautious.

"Do you want anything to eat Kai?"

" No, Papa."

" Sir l can take care of Kai, in case you have anything to work on, it might be uncomfortable and distracting for you."

"No, not all, l smiled at Rachel, take it like it is a little vacation for me and Kai, l will take care of him more often and l will call you if l need your attention."

" As you wish Sir."

"Kai, don't worry, l know you may get Jet Lag but we will be home in some hours, okay little one?"

" Yes, Papa."

" David, I need a list of the dignitaries and shareholders that are attending my father's birthday party,

"Did you check your phone?" He answered back and l immediately tapped on my phone and saw that he had sent it 16hours ago,

"I knew you'd be needing it and you might have forgotten to ask Rhoda to do it."

" Thank you, This many people? Having met most of them, they are just a bunch of hypocrites, Father really has his way in the society," l murmured audibly, scrolling through thoroughly.

"Papa?"

" Kai?"

"What is the meaning of hypocrite?"

" oh, it's nothing, it's a slip of tongue, Papa didn't mean to say it."

"Somebody wants to hurt papa?"

" No, Kai, oh my God, Kai, don't say something like that," l said, smoothing his hair tenderly.

"Kai, nobody wants to hurt Papa, I'm always here to protect him, and protect you too, Okay?" David said and l nodded to his words sincerely.

"If Uncle David says so."

"You have some rest Mason, there are still some hours before we land.

" I'm fine, l slept all night, I'm not tired, you can go ahead l will call you when l need you, David."

"You slept this morning Mason, you should get some rest, it is going to be really busy in Lauderhill."

"I get it David." I waited for him to leave, l needed to talk to Kai about some moment ago.

" Kai?"

"Pa?"

" Don't be like that, nobody wants to hurt me, we are here for each other aren't we?"

"I'm sorry Papa," He said regretting his words immediately which made me more uneasy.

" You apologise a lot Kai, you didn't learn this habit from me, right?"

"Yes Pa, you said one should always apologise when one is wrong."

" Okay, l did say that but not in all situations, especially if you have your reasons to say what you said, get some rest, it will be noisy and crowded in Grandfather's Villa.

"Kai promise me you won't run around, don't stay out of my sight or that of your nannies, do you understand what I'm saying?

"Yes, Papa."

Sometimes l really wonder if I'm being a good parent and a father to Kai, l literally scolded him for apologising, l only want to be his favourite person, l don't want him feeling lonely or neglected.

I have promised to love and create more time for him no matter what, l miss my mother so much, l wish she was here. Probably she will be happy to see Kai and take care of him like her own.

Father is just bad news, l have to be careful he might even kill him at any even time, only God knows the reason why that cunny man invited me back this time and without further notice, as he called me back because he can.

I don't know how long he is going to have a grip on me, Wise people would always say patience is a virtue, l need now it more now, l need to be able to exist in Lauderhill, it's been years, I don't know if l hate it there, just different weather but smells like home---------

Snapping out of my thought, my eyes wobbled to my side, Kai had already fallen asleep, so l called for the Nanny to bring his baby travel pillow,

" Here is it, Sir."

I tugged it around his neck carefully, I giggled at how he pouts his mouth whenever he falls asleep, l stared and glared at him, and l raised the blanket to cover him up to his arms, my thoughts pondered on how beautiful it would be if Kai's father was here. A beautiful and complete family is a space in my heart that has to be filled.

The Captain's voice snarled me back to reality and l realized l had fallen asleep too, l crumpled the blanket that covered me, l didn't have one when l fell asleep, we are landing in a few minutes, my eyes gawked at Kai still sleeping peacefully, does it mean he didn't eat anything throughout this flight, is he even feeling well at all, I sat still as we landed, my heart beating nervously.

" l will carry Kai to the Car Mason,"

"Don't worry David, l will."

" No, you cannot, you need to be able to protect yourself in case something happens, you are back home not a place for you to let your guards down," David advised and l nodded in agreement and stepped down from the plane, l brushed my hair backwards with right my hand while l place the other hand in my pocket.

The already lined up Bentley Continental Gt waiting for me, l got in and sat comfortably as David handed Kai to me, I'm starting to feel like l don't know my child, is he a heavy sleeper or he is just tired and resting, David got into the back seat with me, but I ignored him for getting into my space without my permission.

l know he won't be driving me because father sent people already, l laid Kai more comfortably so he can continue his never-ending sleep.

My eyes found comfort in the scenery, it had been ages since l came back here, with the best earthly view and a muted atmosphere, l smirked vehemently to myself, l indeed missed this place.

The slow driving indicated to me that we are home, l looked forward and saw the car in front being checked, l knew had arrived to face my father, l signed vaguely tapping on Kai to wake up, he needs to say Hi to his Grandfather, l whispered to his ears

" Kai we are home, honey, I heaved his hair to the side, Are you okay Kai?'

" We are here Mason," David howled, opening the door for me.

" Let me carry Kai."

"Have his Nanny take care of him after we meet with father," l said to David stepping out of the Car, The familiar smell of earthly wispy filled my nose, the clear sky that compliments how light is important to the world, the busy atmosphere makes it unevenly uneasy,

" Welcome home young Master!" Everyone greeted in chorus.

" Welcome young master, your father has been waiting for you, this way, please?"

"Long time no see William."

" You have grown so much, young master, it feels like just yesterday when you were running around here, it's nice to have you back," He said in his old crispy tone, he hasn't changed he still walks like he has some serious hunchback, l tapped on Butler William's shoulder politely accepting his welcomes.

Sometimes I wonder how he is still alive depending on his personality, and I wonder how father still has him by his side, being the oldest Butler in the family, father hates it when someone tells him the truth, and the butler is the one, to tell the truth always.

Sweat broke out on my forehead nervously as we took the next corner to the living room.

"Good day, Father."

"It's good to have you back," He answered back in a sonorous tone, walking toward me and looking around with a glass of whiskey in hand.

" Thank you, Father."

" l was expecting to see you come home with a bride, you came alone?"

" l came with my Son, Father, "l replied back annoyingly since he asked the obvious.

"Mason?

"It's not time to fight yet, Young Master, why don't you go to your room and get some rest, dinner will be ready soon, we have visitors."

" l will take Kai from here."

"Why don't l take him to his Nanny as you said."

" Don't worry David, have her come to my room," I said resting Kai on my shoulder, I walked out of my father, heeding Bulter William's voice, l soothe on Kai's back heading to the direction of my room, fuck his ghost head for pretending not to see my son, he will never get a straight son for all l know!

"Papa, are you sad that Grandpapa doesn't like me?" He murmured slowly in a sad tone, l kept him on the edge of the bed and went on my knees immediately patting his head.

" Kai, it is not true that Grandpa doesn't like you, he loves you very much, it's just that he is sometimes over the horizon, but he will come around."

"Yes, Papa."

Those sentences are delusional thoughts, they are impossible to hold on to, Father will never come around, l picked out his clothes to give him a warm bath, thankfully he didn't get Jet Lag.

The knock at the door caught my attention as Rachel walked in.

" Sir,"

"Kai doesn't have a room here, so he will be sleeping with me, come here from time to time to take care of him, for now, prepare his food and l will feed him.

" As you wish Sir."
