chapter 27

Xavier’s point of view

I entered the car beside Winter, I had a feeling that she was going to talk any second from now. Because she loves talking if I would listen to her all day I am sure she would rant about her life since the moment she was born.

“Xavier?” I knew it, can’t she just enjoy peaceful silence for once, why was she always in the mood to frustrate my gentleness away. I looked at her with my eyebrows cocked

“Xavier where exactly is my father”

“Your father” that was new

“Yeah as in Nathan Cameron, the grey-headed dude you almost killed” What a way to explain to me, I knew who her father was. I could tell she wanted to scream at me but she didn’t want to make me angry so she spoke calmly. At least she was starting to learn the ropes of being with me

“He is resting”

“Resting as in you killed him!” she opened the car door swiftly to get away from me. What now she wanted to walk to school, a little too late for that princess

“Don’t raise your voice at me” I leaned over her body and shut the car door, she needed to learn a little respect

“I meant he is resting, as in sleeping for a long time”

“So dead?” possibly, I was not sure what state her father was in at this moment for all I knew the soul eaters would have taken him away, but I hope not because I was certain I would not get out of this sane.

“Not exactly, if you are dead I can always bring you back so he is just in a coma”

“When am I going to see him”

“You can see him any day you like” she breathed out as a sign that she was happy with what she just heard, even I didn’t know how true that was “Except on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays” I added

“So only on Saturdays” God this guy is cruel “will he be alive”

“I am not cruel,”

“Yes you are, I can’t only see my own father on Saturdays, you are the worst mistake someone can ever make”

“Watch your mouth Winter” I seethed through my teeth, I am not a mistake, I was perfectly planned pregnancy and I was very loved by my parents, “I just don’t feel comfortable taking you to hell all the time it is dangerous for you”

“But not for my father,” she asked with a sad look on her face

“I am done having this conversation” what kind of question is that? Her father is different from her in every sense. He is a born cheat, he thought he could take her away from me by baptism and rosaries but he was wrong, he is a man and she is a woman, he is in hell and she is not. YET

“You can’t run away from talking to me Xavier, you brought this upon yourself so you have to fucking deal with it” she swore at me, she just fucking swore at me

“What do you want me to do huh, your father thought he could dupe me and I showed him that I am in fact a supreme being and I can get rid of him faster than he thought he could get rid of me”

“Bring my father back to earth today”

“And who are you, that I collect orders from”

“Your queen, so do as I say” So now she is my queen, I was amused. when she feels like bossing me around she became my queen

“Can you take me to school now?” she asked

I exhaled deeply, then started driving me to school, “If I do bring your father to earth where do you want him to stay”

“At your house of course, and he should be alive” she commanded me, Winter fucking commanded me, why did I suddenly feel the urge to make every wish of hers my command

“I like how you think you can control me, but I will do it, I will bring your father to our house today and you can see him”

“Oh thank you” she wrapped her arms around me tightly, clearly forgetting how long she loathed me, I was about to hug her back when she pulled away

“I owe you one,” she said softly with a hint of awkwardness, I wanted to laugh at how weird she was being

“Never mind it” she sat quietly throughout the car ride to her school, I didn’t seem to mind the silence, I felt her sneak glances at me through my peripheral vision We arrived at her school just in time but I dropped her off at a little distance so her friends won’t see me and start to ask questions even I didn’t know the answer to

“Have a nice day” I grabbed her neck gently and pulled her towards me to place a kiss on her head

“Thanks” I got my bag from the back seat then got out of the car

“Jax or Jeremy will be coming to pick you today, you remember their faces right”

“I should” she slammed the car door and walked a to her school.

I started driving again, DAY TWO had finally started, I went home again to prepare for work, trying life as a human being was not as easy as I thought it was and talking to them was a bit demoralizing. I had been working with the same humans since I was 23 years old, which was nineteen to twenty years ago. I hated the fact that all my previous workers were deceased and I had to change my business prospects frequently because it got suspicious when the same handsome billionaire remained successful for seventy-five years not to mention, he was always in his early twenties. I had worked in so many countries and when I was supposedly dead, I moved to the next country, I don’t know how long it takes before I am known in all countries and they start to ask me questions like ‘hey arent you supposed to be dead’.

Some of my business partners encountered me at least twice in their years and they ask me a few questions and I just answer with the most logical thing ‘Maybe I am an incarnate’ INCARNATE
