"April Simon, right?"... that husky deep voice asked

"Yes, sir"... April answered nervously 

"I'm David King, please have seat and let's talk"... he smiled at April.

"Yes", April sat down opposite him. 'he looks like an older version of Jorden'... he thought to himself

"Don't be nervous, you are Eliza's grandson right?"... he asked

"Yes, my grandma told me that she worked as your nanny"... he answered

"Correct, after our mother died, I and my brother became uncontrollable to our father, so he appointed Eliza as our nanny. What we learned and what we speak were all from Eliza's teachings. I admit, that I gave her a hard time, but I always liked and respected her. I was very sad when she quit the job and went to live a peaceful life with her partner. Still, I see her once a year. So I was really surprised to hear that the Omega my son is obsessed with is her grandson"... He talked in a calm tone

"I am not behind your son sir... I never----- when April started speaking, he interrupted him

"I know... you don't have to explain anything April... I know everything. I'm sorry that I only found it recently... If I had known this, you and violet would not have suffered like this. He said with a smile... She would have grown as the first grandchild of Kings, while you chase your dreams... But fate"... 

"Even if you knew this, Violet would never be a king... He"... April's voice got stuck

"I know April, I don't know what happened between you to cause a pregnancy, but I understand it's clearly my son's fault.  It was very clever to register her as Eliza's adopted child but not very convincing. But, you have all my respect April, just like my mother, you are so brave and strong. And what my son did to you... it's a crime, he must pay for what he did"... His tone changed from gentle to harsh.

April was surprised to hear that from a man like David King... "But, he is your son, right?"... he asked

"A rapist is not my son... He must suffer for his actions. So, that's why I called you here... As a father, I failed to raise my son. I wanted to raise him differently from me. But this curse that follows our generation... it's a poison, slowly eating your life also affecting the person surrounding you. Modern science calls it Anger Management Disorder, for us it's a hereditary madness. Jorden is also like me... I want to change him, one last try, I need your help for that April. I'm not asking for revenge or anything. If you want to file a complaint against him, I will surely help you. But it's a way to make him pay for his deeds and at the same time help him to build a new life". He asked April 

"I don't know what to say sir, but I never wanted him to get arrested because it was my fault for trusting him, believing him, and loving him... so all I want are answers. why?... what happened?... did he love me?" April answered

"I understand but leaving him like this is not the right way... let him taste his own medicine. Past 5 years you suffered raising a child your own, leaving your ambitions, working hard for her, giving her a good life, you don't deserve those sufferings alone... don't be too nice in this wicked world April. Let's teach him a lesson. He needs to open his eyes". He stood adjusting his coat. April also rose from his seat.

'I feel so happy hearing this from him, I have only heard these words from Grandma, June, Evan, and Emma... I feel so happy that I want to cry now'... he pondered. "Thank you, Sir". He replied in a cracked voice.

'Honey, huh! here you are'... a man with beautiful long brown hair walked in. 

"April, meet my mate, Alex King"... he introduced 

"Nice to meet you, Mr.King"... April politely said

"You too"... he smiled and then looked at David

"He is here instead of Elizabeth Simon, the nanny I talked about, she is not feeling well, so she sent her grandson, April Simon". David lied

"Oh! I heard a lot about your grandmother from my husband, it's unfortunate that she couldn't join us today. Hope I can meet her one day. please come in and join us for dinner"... he smiled warmly

"Yes, Mr.King, thank you for having me here"... 

"Then, the secretary will came in... "I'm sorry for interrupting sir, Young master is here"... he said 

"Yes, escort him in"... David said with a smirk

'He is here... God, please lend me courage'... April prayed 

"Alex, go in... I will come in a while"... David kissed his mate on the cheek.

"We have a guest old man"... he pinched on David's hand then went inside after smiling at April. April felt happy seeing that cuteness. 

"Dad, why is the need for a family dinner now?"... Jorden came in asking this

"You are asking such a rude thing while I'm chatting with my guest... where are your manners?"  He asked harshly

"Guest?"... Jorden looked at April who was standing next to David and stook perplexed... "Senior?... why are you here?"... he asked

"Do you know April?"... David questioned  

"Huh!... well, he was my senior in school"... he answered

"That's all, I was just your senior?"... he pondered

"Oh!... today, he is my guest and be nice to him... Also, go and meet your mother, he is been waiting for you"... David said

Jorden glanced at April who averted his eyes from him. Jorden felt raged and he understood, his father knows everything. He moved into the dining area quietly. 

"Are you ready, April?"... David smiled

April who appeared scared felt at ease and followed David into the dining hall.
