Chapter 19: My wife

ONE MONTH LATER

Sheila was already getting used to being Daxiane's wife, Alex got into the same school where Alexia attended. Everything was getting balanced, well except for Daxiane. Ever since what happened between him and Sheila in his study, he avoided her. He always went on business trips and always kept late just to avoid her. Sheila noticed this but didn't budge about it, she too angry with him to even care. He always said he hated liars and pretenders but he lied and pretended when it came to her. Well, Plyvél and Yóshua kept Sheila company. Sheila helped Yóshua to code and decode. She and Yóshua always hanged out. Daxiane noticed but couldn't say a word about it because he was the reason.

One day, Daxiane was busy in his factory when a call came in, the caller told Daxiane that Sheila had been arrested for beating up a woman and her child to a pulp. Daxiane was outraged, he cussed out loud and got into his car, he drove to the police station. The policemen recognized Daxiane and attended to him immediately.

"I'm here for my wife" Daxiane told the person at the front desk.

"The name sir?" The grey haired man asked

"Sheila Turéz" he bit on his bottom lip trying to control his rage.

"Oh sir, that lady caused us a lot of problems. I don't know how she managed to beat a woman and her son" he laughed but stopped when he saw Daxiane's stoic face

"I didn't ask for a back story! Get my wife out of there immediately" his eyes narrowed in slits

"Right away! Cooper bring in Mrs Turéz" he ordered one of the sergeants, the skinny looked sergeant went in and came out with Sheila. She was in cuffs and looked a mess. She gulped down when saw Daxiane and he wasn't looking happy. He signed all necessary documents and they set Sheila free. Daxiane didn't say a word to her during the drive home, she kept stealing glances at him until he stepped on the brake, he parked by the side of the road.

"What were you thinking?" He asked softly

"I was thinking about my son Daxiane"

"Really?" He scoffed and turned to her. "If really you were thinking about him, you would even do this... Alex will see you as a fighter, a violent person Sheila not his hero. What were thinking beating up a woman and her son"

"Alex was being bullied by that stupid son of hers, and when I tried to talk to the boy he called me a bitch. Oh damn it I had it, I slapped him on the cheek and when his mother came by, she tried to hit my son. I had to teach them a lesson Daxiane. Nobody touches my son!" She yelled at him "but how would you know all these huh?" Her tone was softer "you're barely around, you avoid me, avoid your family"

"I'm a busy man Sheila"

"Are you seriously playing that part right now? Is that your best excuse? being busy?" She scoff-laughed "Do you even know that Alexia came first in her school's golf competition. Among twelve school, our daughter came first"

"I didn't know, why didn't she tell me?"

"Because you weren't around man!" She slammed her hand on her head "you're never around"

"Sheila.... listen to me"

"No you listen to me Daxiane. I think you should stop avoiding us and come home"

"I didn't leave..." He said as a matter of fact

"Daxiane... are you avoiding me because of what nearly happened in your study?"

"I don't know what you are on about" he feigned oblivion.

"You don't know or you don't want to remember?"

"Sheila" he let out frustrated sighs "I don't want to argue with you"

"This isn't an argument Daxiane, this is a conversation. You came to me, I wasn't the one who made a move, you did"

"And I fucking regret it!" He snapped, he bit his tongue though, he wished the words didn't leave his lips. She looked at him with sadness and disappointment, tears glistened her eyes but she looked away before the tears fell. She faced the tinted window and folded her arms.

"Please take me home" she said with a broken voice. He cussed inwardly and started the car. When they got home, Sheila alighted from the car and slammed the door angrily. She went into the mansion and ran upstairs to the bedroom. She locked the door and fell on the bed. She cried into the pillow and screamed. Daxiane got into the mansion after he had parked into the garage. He didn't go into the bedroom, he knew she locked the door and he didn't know how to apologise, much less to a woman. Infact he didn't think he owed her any apology. Instead he went to the ranch, Alex spent more time with his pony. As expected, he was there playing with Trisha, his pony. He named her that after his late best friend who died in accident.

"Son" Daxiane stood by the entrance of the big wooden door and leaned into the frame. His both hands in his pants pockets.

"Daddy" Alex went and hugged him

"How are you doing today champ?" He stooped to the little boy's height and ran his fingers through his curls

"I'm not fine daddy, you've been missing for weeks, you're barely at home. Some bad guys took mummy because she tried to talk a bad bully out of bullying me" he pouted sadly

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry for not being there for you. Daddy has been so busy with work that he probably forgot home, I'll make it up to you I promise"

"I trust you Daddy but I'm scared"

"Scared of what?" He asked in furrowed brows.

"I'm scared that mummy won't come back to us, those guys that took her looked dangerous"

"I brought your mummy back, she's in our bedroom but you can't see her now, she's a bit sick"

"Will she be alright?"

"Yes she'll be fine, your mom is a strong woman"

"Very strong, this is not the first time she's beating up a bully just for me"

"Really?"

"Yes" he answered.

"Where is your sister?"

"She's with uncle Yóshua"

"Hmmm it seems your uncle Yóshua has been coming of late huh?"

"Well he and Mom are kind of friends now, they do some computer stuff together and he buys me chocolates so yes I approve" He shrugged which made Daxiane laugh.

"Hey, take it slow with them chocolates huh, it would spoil your teeth... come on let's go get something to eat" he stood up.
