Chapter 70 Its Not Easy!

• Author’s POV
• Xavier walked towards Sarah. "Baby you don't have to worry about him... I'll bring him back safely..." He assured. Sarah scoffed. "You think I am worried because Damian kidnapped him... Damian is not my enemy, he will never hurt my child. He has helped me in toughest phase of my life... If Skyler is with him then he is safe. Safer than he was with you..." Xavier looked at her in disbelief. "You trust Damian more than me?..." "Yes I do... Because he didn't leave me alone. Even if he was a stranger, he helped me... He gave me protection which no one could." She replied firmly. "Why are you so offend by this... Skyler got kidnapped. Just imagine what would have happened if it wasn't Damian. Your other enemies are not like Damian... They won't treat your child like Damian will..." Sarah threw the reality on his face like cold bucket of water. "Today you have once again proved that you are not only a bad husband but a bad father too... You can't protect your child." Xavier's heart broke by her words. "You think it's easy for me... I know I failed. I have failed in every step of my life but I am trying to be a better version of me so we can live happily." Failure was a very sharp word for him, he has always blamed himself for not being enough. He wasn't a good son, he failed to protect his mother from his monster father. He couldn't protect his girlfriend, he couldn't understand his wife properly and destroyed her life and now he can't protect his child. Sarah released a defeated sigh. "I don't want to live with you. I don't desire happy life with you, it's too late for that... I just want you to take care of Skyler because maybe I won't be there for him..." She said and was about to leave but Xavier grabbed her arm and slammed her against the wall. "The fuck I am letting you go anywhere... You are my wife Sarah and I fucking love you. It's better for you to fix it in your mind. And about Skyler then don't worry, I know how to protect my child..." Xavier gritted madly. "You can't save me Xavier, we both know that I have few days left. Don't keep false hope..." She replied. "No you are not dying... Did you hear me!?. I won't let you fucking die..." He banged his fist on the wall. "I___" "Enough" He placed his hand on her mouth. "Enough of your rubbish..." His voice broke. "Why can't you understand that it's not easy for me. I am tired Sarah and I need you..." Tear escaped from his eyes. "I need your love... I know I was wrong and it was hard for you too but at least give me one chance." He placed his head on her shoulder and silently Cried. Sarah closed her eyes and let her tears flow. It wasn't their fault, both were broken. Her silence was eating him from inside. He looked at her with bloodshot red eye. "You will forgive me... I promise you..." He picked up his coat and left. **** "Why Damian helped you?" Ace asked Sarah. They were sitting in the living room. "I don't know... I wasn't expecting that either... But he did. I offered him my apartment in exchange but he refused... So I sold that and brought new house in that town." Sarah sighed. She was eagerly waiting for Skyler to come back. "Bastard always manage to amuse me..." Ace chuckled. Sarah looked at ace hesitatingly. "Ace, do you think Xavier is doubting our relationship. I mean me and Damian. He got angry when I talked about Xavier in the afternoon..." "What?... No!" Ace quickly answered. "Xavier can't think like that because he knows Damian... Anyone can tell that you are totally opposite of Damian's preference. He likes strong woman. I think you have experienced it, he doesn't like crying women. I have seen him killing them just because they cried." Sarah nodded as she remembered how he shoved the gun in her mouth and threatened her not to cry. "That's why Damian didn't marry your sister Natasha, because she wasn't his type at all." Ace chuckled. "Natasha?... What is she doing now?" Sarah asked curiously. "She is doing some small modeling projects as she has no other income source... Xavier has destroyed your father and brother and Natasha refused to take their responsibility. She is still behind Damian but he is in love with Rose, his bodyguard..." Ace explained. "I heard that Natasha even challenged Rose for fighting and Got her nose broken just in one punch... Stupid girl" "Is this Rose a bad news?" She asked tensed, thinking that her child is with her. Ace shrugged. "I really don't know... Maybe she is. She has once refused to stay with Damian and left him. She has killed hundreds of people. She attacked Xavier, broke Natasha's nose. I don't know if we can trust her like we do Damian..." Sarah was growing impatient now. "Can you call Xavier... Why he isn't home yet. We haven't received any news about Skyler..." "There he is!" Ace tilted his head towards the main door. Xavier was coming in with Skyler. He was sleeping and Xavier was carrying him in his arms. Sarah quickly rushed towards him and took Skyler from him. "Is he okay... What happened to him?" She Panicked. "He is sleeping and perfectly fine..." Xavier answered. Sarah placed Skyler on the sofa and inspected him and sighed in relief when she learnt he is not injured. With all the movements Skyler woke up. He sat up and rubbed his eyes. "Mom?" He said in his cute sleepy voice. Sarah pulled him in a hug and pampered his face with kisses. "Are you okay?" "Is our game over... Did I won?..." He asked innocently. "What game?" She asked frowning. "Dad said we are playing hide and seek and I have to hide with uncle Damian... If I won then he will buy me a big video game..." He explained. "Yes you won..." Xavier smiled at him and ruffled his hair. Skyler smiled but soon his smile disappeared and he started looking around. "Dad where is Rose?" He asked. "What Rose?" Xavier frowned and so did Sarah and Ace. "Rose. Where is she?... She was with me." He asked and started looking around. "Is he asking about that Rose?..." Ace asked confused. "Skyler come here..." Xavier said as he sat on the sofa and pulled him closer. "What Rose champ?... Who is Rose?" He asked gently. "Rose is my future Bride..." He declared and everyone's Mouth dropped on the floor. "What?... Bride?" Sarah frowned. "Yes mom... I like Rose and I am going to marry her. Dad said that he married you because he likes you. So I like Rose and I am going to marry her... I asked her today and she said that she will marry me when I will become a big strong boy." Skyler said and Ace chuckled. "That's my boy... You stole our enemy's girl." Ace patted his back. "And why do you like This Rose?" Xavier questioned him as he realised that she is the same Rose who has attacked him. Skyler exclaimed excitingly. "Because Dad she is so cool and beautiful... I was scared when uncle Damian took me with him and I started crying but Rose Scolded everyone for me... She helped me to hide from you and she also gave me her phone to play games... She is so brave and everyone is afraid of her... And she doesn't cry or talk much, she is not annoying that's why I like her... I was with her in the gym and she is so cool, just like black widow. " "So many details in this age... He is definitely going to have difficulties while choosing wife..." Ace mumbled to Sarah. "Skyler you can't marry Rose, baby... That's not how it works..." Sarah tried to make him understand. "And she is not here... She is in her house." "But why mom... Dad married you then why I can't marry Rose?..." His eyes turned glossy as his little innocent hope broke and soon it turned into loud crying. "Skyler..." Xavier tried to calm him down. "I want Rose... I don't want video games" He cried. "May be she is not bad news... Otherwise he wouldn't have chose Her over video games..." Ace mumbled to Sarah and chuckled. Sarah sighed thinking she was worrying unnecessarily, Rose infact has taken good care of Skyler. "Fine... I'll call Rose. You can talk to her on the phone, is that okay. And if you want you can meet her tomorrow..." Xavier suggested trying to calm him down and Skyler nodded while wiping his tears. "Okay!" "Now I have to call that fucker" Xavier mumbled frustratingly and Ace and Sarah suppressed their smiles. They were enjoying the scene. Xavier was struggling to handle Skyler. Xavier called Damian and he finally received the call after few minutes just like Xavier expected. "Why are you calling me now... I don't have your wife or child now... I have returned them back..." Damian said annoyingly.
