Elizabeth's P O V
What is wrong with me?My body hurts .I open my to see where I am and I am greeted by white ceiling and murals on the wall.
"The fire!" Everything that happened earlier rushes back and I scream helplessly and I scream my son's name .Wishing to god nothing has happened to him.I stumble out of the bed and try to find my baby .
"Leo!" I shout as I see him sitting down holding some Teddy bear.
"mommy!" His little feet carry him towards me and I hug him tight.I almost lost my baby to that fire
.
"It's OK little one.Mommy's here." I breathe his baby scent in and its then my eyes move to the angry figure sitting right where my son was.
"Nice to see you're well Eliza" God no!Not him .Anyone but this man.
"What are you doing here?how did you find me?" I clutch my son qnd hope to god that this monster won't find out what I've been trying to keep to myself for the past four years.
"Is that all you've got to say to your saviour little one" His smirk tells me exactly that I am in his trap again.
"I...why ?how did you save me?Did you do it?" I pick my son up at the same time trying to find the quickest exit out of his house before I die.
"Don't even try it Eliza!"His Stern command has my feet rooted in one spot.
"Put the child down you're scarring him." It is then I look at my son who seems to have a panicked look .Mirroring my emotions.
"It's OK.Go and watch cartoons kiddo.Mommy qnd I need to talk ." Weirdly enough my son let's go and i put him down as he happily skips over to the large screen to watch cartoons.
" Let's go." He grabs me by the elbow and drags me towards the kitchen.
"Is he mine Eliza?" He has his back to me and he looks out the window.
"He is mine."I square my shoulders ready to fight him if I have to.Thats my child and no one is taking him away from me.Over my dead body would I let him take my son.
"Don't play games little one.Did I father that boy?None of that independent woman shut you're spewing .I need to know."He growls the words out while his hands are balled in fists.
"Yes ...your sperm was of use ."I watch him flinch at the words.
"Don't degrade that child like that.Sperm like a woman who has a child God dammit!" He shouts .
"Keep your voice down !" I whisper ...hoping to god that the child in question hasn't heard his voice.
"Show me some respect Eliza.I am not your little boyfriends that you can talk to anyhow."
"I give respect to those that earned it Mr Mathews.And you will have nothing but hatred from me." I whisper yell at the man .
"Well I did get that child from you little one.Now tell me where you have been for the past four years?Where did you keep my son?" He walks over to fridge to pour some water into two glasses.
"Thank you" My manners fail me as I watch him raise his left brow at my thanks.
"Where I was is not important.When do me and my child get to leave this place?" I put the glass down on the counter top making sure that I am right near the entrance where I'll run if I have to.
"You are not going anywhere with my son."
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"Exactly what I said.You can leave if you want to.You are not important to me that boy in there is all I need ." He crosses his arms and smirks at me.
"Over my dead body would ever let my child be raised by the likes of you!" I yell at him.I don't care if my baby hears.We will leave this god forsaken place if I have anything to say about it.
"Keep your voice down woman.Someone was trying to kill you in that little nest of yours incase you forgot .Both you and that child will be safe under my roof."
"This is the most dangerous place to me and my child." I sigh .God why would anyone try to kill me.I have been laying low for some years.
"I will keep my son safe Eliza."Looking at him I know he would but am I included in that package?What if they come for me here?we need to leave the country.
"No.I want to leave ." I pace around his kitchen my nerves taking charge.
" You're not going anywhere with my son.This topic is closed.Get yourself together Eliza." He walks out leaving me to my thoughts.
I need to leave this place.Where are we anyway? I head towards the living room where the sight before me makes me freeze in place .
" Mom! Uncle Emilio is teaching me how to tye my shoes ." He wiggles his feet which have white expensive looking sneakers on.
" I am not Uncle ...I am your daddy!"
I gawk at him and almost curss out loud at him for doing this with my child.
"Really?" My son turns towards me qnd I nod in silence not having the strength to deal with Emilio .
"He is your daddy ! He found us today remember how I told you that he had gotten lost on his way towards us ."I kneel to be at eye level with my baby.
" daddy is a superhero! He shouts qnd thows himself at his father.
" Only for you kiddo" He smiles and heart skips a beat at the sight.He really is a handsome man.Keep it together Eliza ."
His phone rings qnd watch the smile droo from his face qnd without a doubt that its his wife.That terrifying woman is the only person who can do that to anyone.
" I have to take this call.Dont do anything foolish little one or you won't like the consequences. " He whispers as he walks out .
