Unknown Mother of the Mafia's Heiress

—Meet The Father—

*** Lexine's P.O.V.

"Mommy!" I smiled when I saw Cypher's happy face looking forward to the open car.

Although I wasn't surprised that instead of a taxi carrying Cypher, a porch expedition greeted me. I could clearly see Blythe smiling at me sitting in the driver's seat.

I just looked at him and walked towards the back seat where my son was sitting.

While I was wrestling with death earlier, what time did I have to call Blythe to look for Cypher outside.

After I entered, Blythe immediately drove the car while my son hugged me tightly.

"Mommy..." he called me softly.

I shook my head and smiled at his tenderness. That's why I shivered and returned his tight hug even tighter. But I made sure that I won't hurt him in the process.

"Heippies... You take long enough there huh? Looks like you really had a hard time at the height huh?" Blythe grinned teasingly at me.

"Tss. As if I would Blood." I just answered and ignored the man.

He just laughed at me. I even heard him say 'Same old Eerah. Same, same.' which he still laughed at. I just mentally rolled my eyes because of his madness.

I just continued to caress my baby Cypher.

I don't know but I always feel a special bond for this boy. It's like I don't want to see Cypher sad, crying, or even frowning. And every time I can see him smile, laugh, and happy, it makes me happy too.

It's superficial, but in the almost five years that I've been taking care of him, the two of us have built that kind of bond.

And I love being with that child. Well, the two of us can't be separated, except maybe the child's father.

Speaking of, I immediately pulled away from Cypher when I saw the road we were taking.

"Blythe, don't tell me you're bringing as to the boss?" My eyes widened when I asked him.

"Im really amazed about your thinking Heippies! Hahaha. And yeah, Boss is asking about young master since he said he misses his son already." he replied that he was still focusing on driving.

I just started sniffling. That only means that we will meet again, the only obstacle to our bonding with my son, Cypher. Or should I practice calling him young master now?

"What did you say Uncle Blythe? We will see my father?" Cypher suddenly asked Blythe who imitated me by turning towards Blythe.

I'm on his right while he's on Blythe's left. We just laughed at Cypher. He really idolizes me. I still remember the first time he told me I was his new idol which is his former idol is non other than his Dad.

"Yes young master. So indulge in the tenderness of your mommy slash idol cause for sure when we came to the mansion, you'll be inseparable with your father." Blythe laughed jokingly at Cypher.

I snorted at what he said and fell down to sit down properly again. I looked at Cypher as I fell down on the chair. We both looked at each other with a frown.

"Damn, you can't really deny that you are mother and son with your actions. If I didn't know the truth, I might have said that Cypher Errah is really your son." Blythe said to us shaking his head.

And because of that, Cypher and I looked at each other again and laughed at the same time.

damn I will never get tired of taking care of this child.

------------

After only a few minutes of flight where Cypher and I did nothing but caress each other, we reached the huge gate of the Sheltons' vast palace.

Cypher and I stopped fighting and I immediately moved to the passenger seat. The frowning Cypher adjusted his seat while Blythe and I laughed.

"Aw! Hahaha..." he was still laughing when I hit him.

Annoyed, I just turned my gaze outside the window as we walked down the long entrance of the mansion before you even reached the mansion itself.

"Huhuhu... Mommy. Im gonna miss you. For sure Dad will be with me for a week or more." snorting and tearful Cypher complained that I saw in the rear view mirror of the car.

"Don't cry son. Just give that week to your Dad. Remember, our relationship always lasts months while yours and your father only last for weeks." I will let him live.

He just got more and more annoyed by what I taught him. Well there is nothing we can do. Me over his Dad, I'm nothing. I can't even stand being under the same roof with the Boss, let alone talking with Cypher.

Nah, no thanks. Maybe I can do everything for Cypher but just this one. Talking for his father, that's the only thing I can't do for him.

Sorry baby, your mom is a pussy when it comes to your daddy he always seems to have a black aura when I'm in front of him.

"And we're here!" Blythe announced and that's why I came back to my senses.

I immediately got out of the car to open the door for Cypher but Blythe did it first.

Cypher looked serious when he got out of the car. I couldn't help but smile.

Cypher is only 6 years old boy but his intellect cannot be far from Einstein. No joke.

Although, even though he was very intelligent and matured to think at an early age, that did not prevent him from bringing out the childishness of his body, mind, and heart. I love it every time I saw him enjoy his childhood which I know, even Cypher himself that he can't have when he's inside this mansion under the protection of his father.

And I was so impressed with that boy because even at that young age he understood everything around him. Death's claim on him. His being a future mafia boss. Even our pretense of being less close in front of his father.

"Elevic." I was stunned to hear the cold timbre of the speaker's voice.

And since I was facing Cypher I automatically turned my back to the man I was sure was only a meter away from me.

"Dad." Cypher returned to his father.

And yes, the guy a meter behind me is none other than the ruthless, cold, and the most powerful mafia boss, Tarvy Alistair Zuchary Shelton, also called as Death. And the one and only father of Cypher Elevic Shelton and the one who asked me—no. Who ordered me to protect Cypher no matter what.
