Matteo's pov

She won . she fucking won and taking my son away

This is bullshit I'm not giving up on my son No way

I'm still shocked no way this is true this must be a dream

I have to see Xavier . he can't just leave me like that

No I need him in my life , he's my everything 

My lawyer patted my shoulder " I'm sorry " he said

I didn't answer him I just went to find  Lauren 

I can hear Dylan shouting my name following me

I saw Lauren and rush towards her 

"Please Lauren don't take him away from me" I said holding her shoulders

"I will do anything , anything I will even pay full child support but don't stop him from seeing me"  I begged 

She sighed 

"Matteo I'm not minding you from seeing your son but there has someone to be with him for his safety " She said 

" Can I see him now?" I asked 

"I don't know Matteo he's still not over it" She said crossing her arms

"Fuck when we left your house and I got him in the car he was crying and sobbing " She said glaring at me

"I know I'm sorry I wasn't in my right mind " I said looking down

"Alright I guess you can see him . follow me " She said walking away

I followed her and noticed  Xavier standing with  Sofia , One of Lauren's friends

I walked towards him "Hey buddy"

"H-Hi" He mumbled

Fuck he's scared of me and he didn't even call me papa

"I'm sorry Xavier please look at me . I didn't mean it " I said taking his hands

" I-I.." He looked at Lauren

"It's okay papa. It was scary papa please don't do it again" He said almost crying

"I know bud I'm sorry " I kissed his head 

" Would you wanna stay with me again?" I asked in hope

He stayed silent 

Please

"Alright we have to go come on" Sofia said glaring at me

Xavier looked up at me "Bye papa"

Lauren held his hand walking away

" Come on let's go home man" Dylan said dragging me towards the car

I just can't focus the look in his eyes scared? 

Ugh I don't know I can't blame him though

We got home and I just went in my room

I loosened my tie that's suffocating me 

Third point of view 

 His face contorted into hurt and shame. His mind

couldn't register as quick as his heart did, his body having the lack of

movement; both of his arms dangling beside him like vines 

After time slowly passed his body finally moved. The words still linger

even after several minutes past by " It was  scary  papa"   and the look of son face 

he could feel his tears he tried to

suppress start to fall, the lukewarm feeling burning his cheeks.

One by one the tears kept sliding down his face as his leg gave bucklin

underneath him. His knees felt a tingle of pain as the impact irritated

skin leaving a small patch of red evident on his knees hidden by the

carpet, it's softness helping with the pain as it slowly, but surely fade

away.

He gripped his chest in pain as his head pummeled with nausea causing 

him to have a headache.

With little to no strength left a small whimper he tried desperately to

suppress had escaped his throat timidly.

Dylan stood there watching his  best friend struggling to breathe 

He rushed towards him trying to get calm down but nothing clearly working

This is the  second time  seeing his best friend breakdown 

And it's hard to watch 

Flashback

His  father built like a Greek myth and had the face

of Lucifer himself, earning him the title that was feared by the weak and

respected with those who carry high leagued titles.

He was known as a manipulative man, that I could agree with, his rain of

power leaving a mass of destruction making sure he asserted his

dominance, and his negotiations were no better. They were brutal

making people know he doesn't take no for an answer.

Him and his work, the perfect duo.

So as you could probably tell, growing up, they expected a lot from Matteo 

and his siblings  even from a young age, so being the eldest He had to

take responsibility and work hard for the approval of his father .

It was, ruff, growing up. The stress and responsibility was too

overwhelming and He would tend to breakdown alone in my room. None

of his siblings  knew how stressed Matteo was... but his best 

friend did and helped him through it. 

End of flashback
