Chapter 112: Always There For Her
The group resumed with their team building activities in the morning. Both Xander and Dion arrived late and they walked together towards the beachfront.
"Can you act normal, why don’t you behave like you did before knowing the truth about me?" muttered Dion. "What? I’m being normal. What are you saying? How did I act earlier?" Xander asked naively.
"You are really something you know?" Dion commented with twisted mouth. Earlier Xander treated him more like a love rival and he always talked sarcastically and was ready to bully him whenever he could.
"Well, to be honest, I never expected even in my dreams such a revelation of your identity. After I came to know about you I have started respecting your efforts a lot. But, as someone who is older than you, like a brother, I must say that you should not prolong hiding this secret anymore. Yera has a big heart and I’m sure she will understand everything, so I believe you must tell her everything as soon as possible. Don’t worry I got your back. Treat me as you brother-in-law from today onwards. If you need anything don’t hesitate to inform me." Xander declared before he patted Dion’s shoulders and ran ahead of him to join the others who were engaged in physical activities.
Dion’s face twisted. But his heart felt warm with those words, he was indeed at ease and he was encouraged.
He recalled those days when he was still a kid. He would often ask his mother who his father was and where he was and his mother would always give him the same answer, that his father lives and works in Country D.
As he grew up, his mother explained everything to him. He was a child born because of an accident.
Dion’s mother had a one night stand with a foreigner, a stranger not from their country. Everything happened in a state of drunkenness. They had attended a common elite party for business tycoons. The two of them got drunk and ended up sleeping together in the same room. That night they ended up having sex in their drunken state.
The next morning, after his mother woke up, she quickly left the room and even cleared all the cctv footage to avoid a scandal that could defame her family.
