Alexander's Point Of View:
As soon as I stepped inside the William's Villa with Lucca and my younger brother Axel by my side, I saw all the servants gathered near the stairs. Seeing it I quickly went upstairs to my uncle's bedroom only to find everyone in William's family gathered in front of his bedroom.
Seeing it, I understood the severity of the situation and quickly asked my best friend and the eldest one of the triplet brothers of Austin, Lucus.
"How is Uncle?"
I inquired while taking a look inside his bedroom through the transparent glass door only to find him lying on bed with multiple wires attached to his body as doctors did their work. It made my heart tremble as for me, he is the strongest man I have ever seen but now seeing him like this really saddened me. On the other hand, after gearing my question Levis signed and answered in a tired voice.
"How do you think he would be without his little prince? His condition is getting worse day by day."
He responded, sounding helpless. As soon as he finished, his younger triplet and the second son Williams, Austin's second elder brother Lucus exclaimed in a low voice.
"Dad really misses him. His life lies in his Little prince."
That's true and everyone of us knows it too. We all are helpless here. No one can do anything to help uncle now except for Aru. Only she can help him recover and return back to his old self. Dejected, we all went back to the living room of William's Villa as doctors were still treating uncle when the youngest one of the triplet brothers and my second best friend Liam said dejected.
"It has been a year since she left, I am really worried for her now. I am afraid something happened to her"
He cried fearfully to which he got scolded in an instant by his older brother Levis.
"Don't say that. Nothing bad can happen to our little Austin."
He confronted him and I really hope what he said is true and nothing has happened to him or I don't know how I am even going to live if something is supposed to happen to him. I exhaled thinking about all this when the second eldest of the triplet brother's, Lucus expressed worriedly.
"We have been searching for her for an entire year. All of our men are spread everywhere. We have searched all the places where she could possibly be but to no avail. We have searched so many countries where she could be but no results. No matter what we do, no matter how much we search for her, we just can't find her. It's as if her existence has been wiped from the world."
What he said shuttered my heart and made it tremble in fear, before I could say anything, his younger brother Liam snapped at him.
"Don't say that. No matter how we have to find little Austin before something bad happens. Dad's health is also deteriorating day by day."
That's right, I need to be strong not for myself but for my uncle. He needs me.
I tried to comfort myself, but what Axel said next made my heart drop in my stomach.
"God knows where he is, what he is doing, how he is doing, if he is even alive or....."
I was filled with range and my heart trembled with fear with his words but he didn't get to finish as before I could stop him Levis growled at him angrily.
"Shut up. Dare you finish that."
He threatened. Liam quickly came forward and held him back before he beat the s**t outta my irritating little brother, Levis patted his back to calm him down. After calming a little, broken Levis said in an emotional voice.
"I am really getting worried for him now. We need to find him guys. We need to be fast. Alexander, use your connection in the underworld. Do what you need to do but please find him. Please bring back my Austin to me. I don't know what you guys will do, I just want my Austin back. I want my younger brother back."
He demanded, sounding broken which broke my heart too. I put my hand on his shoulder and assured him.
"Don't worry Levis, we will find him."
I said assuringly more like myself than him. Then after getting the news of uncle Andrew being stable now from the doctors, I hurriedly went upstairs to meet uncle.

I entered Andrew uncle's bedroom as the doctors left after his checkup was done. Others waited outside to have a talk with the doctor's about his current condition but I just couldn't stop myself from walking towards him when I saw his weak body which once stood strong in front of me like a shield laying on bed with an IV attached. It oranges my heart.
Seeing me, Andrew uncle who was conscious now, weakly called out to me in a small voice.
"Alex"
He whispered which was audible enough to be heard for my ears and motioned me to come towards him with his hand which had a heart rate monitor wire attached to its finger.
Understanding his signal I went to him and sat by his bed.
Slowly taking his hand in mind, I called him.
"Uncle, you will be fine."
I tried to assure him but only I knew that more than him, I was assuring myself. Hearing me he smiled weakly and all he could say was.
"Austin"
He whispered through his oxygen mask with much difficulty. Although he didn't finish his sentence, I still knew what he wanted to say. He was concerned for him. All he wishes for is to see his son. Knowing what he wants, I promised him.
"Uncle don't worry. I promise I will bring your son back to you. Don't lose hope. Nothing will happen to him. I won't let anything happen to him. I will bring our Austin back, safe and sound. I promise."
I assured him to which he nodded his head slowly before losing his consciousness.
After bidding bye to everyone I left Williams Villa leaving Axel there to accompany the triplet brothers, but as soon as I went to my car I saw a very rare sight. Lucca who usually stayed gloomy was beaming. Seeing his excited face I asked him curiously.
"What is it? You look happy!"
As soon as I finished speaking he exclaimed with joy.
"Good news Boss"
He replied mustering to which I raised my brow at him questioningly, being curious now knowing it's not easy to please this gloomy beast, I wondered what made him so happy so I asked.
"What is it?"
Asking, I headed towards the car while my ears keenly waiting to hear his reply. I feel he is more than ready to answer my question as if he was just waiting for it. Proving me right he quickly replied but the words which left from his mouth next made me struck in my breath.
"We found him, Boss."
He informed me enthusiastically knowing how much this matters to me and as soon as those words fell on my ears, I felt as if the world around me stopped revolving. I couldn't believe what I just heard. I felt as if my ears were ringing, my mind was playing a game on me again, like it has been doing for the past two years.
I stopped walking and stood dead in my tracks, trying to contemplate what I just heard. After collecting myself, I quickly pinched my arm to check if it's really reality or am I dreaming again. As the pain shot from my arm I signed, rubbing my face with both my palms as I asked him without turning back, not wanting him to see my expression, my desperation, the yearning written on my face which is really embarrassing.
"Where is he?"
Even though it came out as an emotionless and blank voice still I was desperate from inside but didn't let it show. Only I knew how much I craved for this moment. As if reading my desperation, Lucca was quick to answer.
"India. Our spies informed me just now that someone saw him in Country A’s City M."
He revealed which relieved my heart and without wasting even a second in thinking anything, I commanded as I strode towards my blue Rolls Royce Boat Tail with fast pace.
"Lucca, get my private jet ready. We are flying to Country A, City M within half an hour. It's time, he comes back home."
I muttered the last sentence to myself after barking an order at Lucca and that was enough for him to know it better to get the work done. Getting inside the backseat of the car and shutting the door rather aggressively making a loud banging noise, I closed my eyes and muttered to myself with determination as I reminisced that angelic face which is haunting my memories, not leaving me even in my sleep since the day I have seen him.
"I am coming, Sweetheart."
With it, Lucca started the car and drove off, heading straight towards my mansion as I got ready to fly to Country A to bring my love back to his home.
End of Flashback...
Back to the present...
Considering the 5 hours and 30 minutes of time gap between Australia and India, it was 9 am here. After travelling straight for 9 hours 31 minutes in my private jet, covering a long distance of 7,809 km between Country B and Country A, here I was. Waiting for this huge traffic to clear up, so I can go and find her in this big crowded City M.
Even though I was hell tired and this jet lag was killing me, still I couldn't contain my excitement of meeting him. My happiness of finally being able to see him face to face, after a whole two years, was something which was greater than everything and anything in the world.
That's what is encouraging and literally pushing me to get him. Get him back.
I was lost in his thoughts when my eyes which were roaming everywhere aimlessly, settled on a nearby bus stop but what caught my eyes what the small figure standing a little away from under the rooftop of bus stop, holding an umbrella in one hand which was covering the half of his face leaving only his dazzling smile visible for eyes, his smile so honest and pure that it can make anyone swoon, robe hearts, while his other hand playing with rain like a small child making him happy.
Seeing his small childish act I felt myself chuckle. I smiled at his adorable act when I saw him waving his hand childishly at some random kids, I laughed at the cuteness while shrugging my head at his innocence in disbelief.
It amused me too, as to how he unknowingly caught my interest and surprisingly I myself got lost in staring at him out of curiosity and admiration, forgetting everything else. A look of appreciation crossed my face when I saw how that kind hearted Angel saved those school going kids from getting their uniform ruined with the mud water splashed by a passerby Bugatti Veyron which must be driven by a spoiled brat considering how it passed through the bus stop at full speed, breaking all the speed limits. That reminded me of Austin.
My Austin hates speed. Once I took him for a long drive in my new sports car. It was the first model of 18.7 million worth Bugatti La Voiture Noire, which I had brought only to impress him. But after just one ride, he was literally feeling dizzy due to the speed. Later I never drove that sports car.
Anyways, getting back to the present. That guy's reflexes really impressed me. He was fast to react. He was sharp. He covered those kids with his own body, to shield them and at the same time, he saved himself too by covering his back with an umbrella. Now I was curious. I really wanted to see his face.
I was looking at him intently as the guy interacted with those kids. Maybe they were thanking him. Then I saw them hug the guy and he embraced them too. Austin really should learn from this guy. They both are worlds apart. I don't know why I am comparing a random guy with my love but I really wish Austin was anything like him. I love kids but Austin always hated them and that saddened me since I had always dreamt about having kids with the help of surrogacy.
I signed at that depressing thought and shook my head to avoid them, as if it would really keep them at bay. Smiling sadly, I looked at that guy at the bus stop again with a longing in my heart.
I don't know why but I craved to see his face. Something in me was screaming at me, wanting to see his angelic face. Unknowingly he had wavered my heart.
As if hearing my call, that guy really slowly raised his umbrella above his head while holding another free hand of his trying to remove the floating piece of cloth which came from somewhere & struck on her face.
My heart beat raised, I felt my heart doing a flip flop in my chest which had never happened before as I saw the umbrella getting slowly raised from above his face.
As the boy was slowly removing that piece of cloth from his face, I was holding my breath, which later got stuck in my throat as I saw that very familiar Angelic face. The same face which I had grown up to love. The same face I yearned to see. The same face I can never get tired of looking at. The same face I was craving to see from the last two years. The same face which I really miss and had occupied my mind. The face which belongs to him. My love. My Austin. Whom I love from the moment I realised what love is and the only words left my mouth were.
"Austin”
