Chapter 4 Finally found my family

• Writer's pov
• O'Briens groups LTD. (Chicago)
• "Good morning, Mr O'Briens!"
• Workers greeted Thanatos as he walked into his company, he nodded in acknowledgement and headed straight for the elevator.
• "Good morning, Mr O'Briens" his assistant greeted him.
• "Hmm" he simply hummed.
• "What's my schedule for today?" Thanatos asked.
• He reached the elevator and pushed the open button, the doors opened and he stepped in.
• His assistant followed and pushed the 54th button, leading to his floor.
• "You have meeting with this board this morning by 9am.. you have lunch with Mr Joy from hot springs hotel by 1pm..."
• The elevator stopped and the doors opened, they both stepped out.
• Thanatos took long strides towards his office, while his assistant rushed after him.. even though she's wearing heels.
• "...and at 2:30pm you have interview with daily mirrors"
• "Cancel the lunch with Mr Joy, I have another appointment then"
• "Yes, sir" she replied and quickly scribbled something on her note.
• Thanatos stopped in front of his office, he grabbed the handle and turned to his assistant.
• "Make an appointment with Mike's kitchen to negotiate the acquisition tomorrow.. tell them their restaurant is only worth $5,000,000.. not a dime more!"
• "Yes, sir"
• Thanatos nodded. "Tell Patrick to see me when he arrives!"
• "Yes, sir"
• "That's it, you can leave" Thanatos said and stepped into his office.
• He walked straight to his chair, he sat down and tossed his briefcase on the table.
• "Where's Patrick?" He heard a very familiar voice asked.
• He opened his briefcase and pulled out his laptop, he placed it on the table and turned it on.. totally ignoring the question.
• "He didn't drive you to? You drove yourself?"
• "Clark, you should be working in your department.. what are you doing here?" Thanatos asked.
• Clark is his best friend, since diapers. Clark pulled a chair and sat down, he leaned on the table.
• "I would have been in my department if your mom didn't call me.. no, if she wasn't disturbing my phone"
• Thanatos hummed and nodded.
• "Why did she called you this time?"
• "Well, nothing much"
• Thanatos lifted his head and arched an eyebrow at Clark, telling him to continue.
• "She said you should come home, your wife misses you..."
• Thanatos interrupted him with a bang on the table, he frowned.
• "She's not my wife!" He stated firmly.
• His eyes drift to the photo frame on his table, he reached for it and caressed it briefly..then turned it to Clark.
• "This is the woman I recognize as my wife.. she'll the Mrs O'Briens I'll recognize as my wife!"
• Clark sighed.
• "Thana, I know you still love her, but it's already five years and still no news about her.. I think you should move on"
• "No! I'll find her!"
• "When? When you're old?"
• Thanatos held onto the photo frame tightly, his eyes turned red as he thinks of something.
• "She's hiding from me, she's mad at me for leaving so suddenly and without letting her know"
• "Yes, if I were I would be mad too" Clark said.
• He remembered Jasmine's broken look when he told her Thanatos was gone..
• He remembered how she held herself... and tried to convince herself that Thanatos wasn't gone.. he remembered it very clearly.
• "But I left for a good reason"
• "Good reason?! You still couldn't stopped the wedding.. she still ended up being your wife!"
• Thanatos nodded.
• "My wife?" He scoffed. "She's not my wife, I didn't attend the wedding, I didn't go to the altar with her.. my brother did and that makes her my brother's wife!"
• "No, it doesn't. Your brother went to the altar with her in your name, she's legally your wife"
• Thanatos mind drifted back to the big argument he had with his father.
• "Her name now is Jade Miguel O'Briens.. that's what makes her your wife!"
• "No! She's not, I have never acknowledge her as one and I will never acknowledge her!"
• Clark shook his head, his eyes landed on the lady in the photo frame.
• "If she's hiding from you, then it'll be very hard to find her"
• At that moment, the door opened and someone walked in.
• "Mr O'Briens, Mr Evans!" He greeted them with a small bow.
• Clark smiled. "Yo! Patrick is here" he said.
• Patrick simply nodded and turned his attention to Thanatos.
• "Sir, there's been sightings of her"
• Thanatos dropped the photo frame and sat upright at once, he gave Patrick an eager look.
• "Where?" He asked.
• "Las Vegas, sir!"
• Thanatos smiled.
• "There's one more thing, sir"
• "What is it?"
• "She was seen with a little boy, he looks exactly like you. I don't know...."
• Clark and Thanatos exchange looks, Thanatos wondered if Clark knew anything about her being pregnant then.
• As if he knew what Thanatos is thinking, Clark shook his head.
• "How old is the boy?" Thanatos asked Patrick.
• "About five or six years, sir.. we're not so sure"
• Thanatos banged on the table and broke into a smile.
• "He's my son!" He said.
• A sense of great joy suddenly overwhelmed him, he adjusted his suit.
• "Get the jet ready"
• "Sir?"
• "We're going to Las Vegas today!" Thanatos said.
• "Yes, sir!" Patrick said and left.
• When Patrick is gone, Clark tapped the table to get Thanatos attention.
• "Are you not gonna attend the dinner your mom invited you?"
• "No! I'm going to get my family!" Thanatos replied with a smile.
• "Then what about your family here, you already have a wife here"
• The smile wiped off Thanatos face, he glared at the empty chair beside Clark.
• "I told you, I don't acknowledge her!"
• Clark laughed.
• "I can't believe a girl has been married for five years... but still don't know who or what her husband looks like?"
• "It's her fault for not refusing the marriage!"
• "But you should at least go home and let her see you once.. she misses you, according to your mom"
• Thanatos scoffed.
• "You can't miss someone you haven't seen once"
• "Oh? But she's seen your pictures"
• "Save the crap!"
• Clark laughed, he just finds Thanatos situation quite funny..
• Thanatos pressed the intercom button and his assistant's voice came up.
• "Yes, Mr O'Briens?"
• "Make the appointment with Mike's kitchen today, we're going to Las Vegas to negotiate the acquisition!"
• "Ok, sir"
• Thanatos leaned on his chair and stared at the photo frame with a satisfied smile..
• *Finally, I'll see you after five years!* He thought to himself.
