Chapter 332: Erasmi Frost
Caius Mercer sat in front of his computer’s screen and looked at the pictures carefully. He had a father? It was something out of a movie. Hadn’t he just been praying last week, hoping that he would have a father who would protect him and his mother like other fathers? He repeated the name slowly in his heart, ’Erasmi Frost.’ and carefully typed the words on his keyboard.
According to his mother, this man had been sick since the accident and so everyone had been told he was dead. How could this be? They must be lying to him. Was his mother lying to him? Did she want to send him away? Or maybe the man was a fraud! He had to be.
He’d heard all the gossip in the town about how she was sick and could die anytime. She had to be lying to him so that he would be safe from all these people who had been troubling them. But he wouldn’t leave her, ever. She was his only family. And he was her only family.
Soon, a long list of names appeared on the screen and on the second position was Erasmi Frost. It was a list of directors of some large corporation called Frost Industries. There were six names in total and suddenly he felt scared. The first name was Demetri Frost. And his name also had Demetri...
Could it be that man was really his father? Would he take him away from his mother? Then who would look after his mother? No. He had to find a way to get rid of this man. But... he’d also promised to help him with the matter of the school and helping him in protecting his mother. First, he would have to ask this man’s intentions. And if that man really thought that he could take him away, he would teach him not to mess with Caius Mercer.
Just as he was thinking what to do, he heard his mother’s call," Caius."
Suddenly, he felt scared. He did not want to meet this man. He’d been fine to talk to in the morning but then he had not known that this man could be the enemy.
Caius descended the stairs, each step heavy with the weight of uncertainty. His mother stood in the living room, a warm smile on her face, but Caius couldn’t shake off the unease gnawing at him.
He looked at the man who had almost seemed like a friend today and tried to smile but could not. His mother came to him and placed a hand on his shoulder," Caius. Your father wants to take you out. Why don’t you go with him?"
