Still... I miss you....
"Sir… Actually… Madam asked Wilfred to meet her…" as Ben mumbled Grey was shocked.
"Why?" Immediately he raised a question.
"To speak about you…" Ben gazed at Luka and felt hesitant to speak.
"Let him be… he should be aware of his boss's past to avoid future problems…" Grey smirked at Luka.
'Doesn't his Dad trust him?'Luka was shocked to hear them. He gritted his teeth glaring at his Dad. But Ben ignored his son.
Flashback~
"Ben… could you please accompany me?" Daisy asked Ben. Ben scanned around the church courtyard and got confused.
"Madam… What's the matter? You look nervous…" Ben asked, confused.
"Ben… don't ask me anything… just follow me… be with me… I feel scared to see him alone…" whispered Daisy.
"Who?" Ben raised his eyebrows.
"Mr Wilfred…" she whispered, biting her lower lip. Been stood speechless.
"Madam… come let's go home…if Master got to know about this consequence will be bad… Come let's go back…" Ben opened the door for Daisy. But Daisy stood stubbornly.
"No Ben… I am not going… I need to meet him… please… accompany me… " Daisy begged. Ben sighed.
The church seemed empty and Ben stood behind Daisy who was offering her payer. Suddenly Ben heard footsteps approaching them. Turning around, Ben found Wilfred glaring at him. Ben felt disgusted seeing the cruellest man he ever saw in his life. Wilfred gazed at Daisy who was standing, closing her eyes. Wilfred smirked at Ben and walked to her. Immediately he hugged her from behind. Ben clenched his fist. Daisy, who didn't expect it, jerked from her place and pushed Wilfred away in shock.
"Daisy… don't you miss me? It's been a long time since we met… I missed you…" Wilfred whispered as if he was in deep hurt. Daisy's shocked face turned red due to anger.
"Wilfred… if you lay a finger on my body I will chop them…" shouted Daisy. Wilfred's face blackened. But he calmed himself. He just needed to coax Daisy to get into Grey's good books.
"Daisy… don't be like this to me… it was a misunderstanding… everyone schemed to separate us…" Wilfred said glaring at Ben. Daisy realized that Wilfred was indicating about Ben. She smirked.
"Ohh… are you saying that it was all planned by your most trusted chauffeur?" Daisy snapped at Wilfred.
"Yes… Daisy… he was the one who made stories about me and made misunderstandings between us… He accused me of killing Danet. No… Daisy… it was an accident… I didn't kill her… I loved her…" Wilfred choked at his words. Ben was shocked seeing Wilfred's tears. But Daisy laughed out loud.
"Haha… you mean Ben did it all? What motive did he have in this?" Daisy tried hard to control her laugh.
"Daisy… I will tell you the truth… Ben likes you… for getting you he planned all this… he made you and Grey believe that I killed Danet…" mumbled Wilfred without any hesitation. Immediately a tight slap landed on Wilfred's face. Wilfred whirled a little by Daisy's unexpected move. Ben was shocked to see Daisy shaking out in anger.
"Bastard… how dare you accuse an innocent person?" Daisy yelled at Wilfred.
"Daisy…" Wilfred gazed at her in surprise. Daisy walked to him and held his collar.
"Do you think that Ben, who was your loyal chauffeur, told me everything about your cruelty? No… even though Ben knows everything he didn't say a single thing to me. He was always loyal to you but you accused him." Daisy's eyes filled with tears. She pushed Wilfred and glared at him.
"It… it's… my son… who told me about what you did to his mother…" Daisy choked at her words. Wilfred widened his eyes in disbelief.
"Yes… the person who witnessed his mother getting killed by his father… Do you know how a five-year-old boy would have felt when you suffocated his mother using your filthy hands?" Daisy roared. Wilfred felt like he was struck by a thunderstorm.
"I thought… Grey… he was in a trance of losing his mother but no… do you know… how he suffered all these years… he was the one who saved me that night from your hands. After knowing the truth from him I never let go of his hands. Even though he is Danet's son… I am the one who brought him up. He is mine…" Daisy declared her authority on Grey.
"As he grew I saw a determination in his eyes to destroy you. We returned here only to see you down from your empire. And my Son did it… he made you run for your survival… not yet over Mr Wilfred… I need to see you punished for killing an innocent soul and making a five-year-old boy in a miserable state." Daisy stared at Wilfred's eyes which showed shock.
Wilfred just thought that his second wife and son ran away. But recently he got to know that Grey was his son when Grey started to target his businesses. Without any choice, he even hired goons to kill Grey. But Grey was saved by his assistant. Thinking a lot Wilfred planned to get into good books of Grey and Daisy. But it hadn't been that easy for him.
"Mr Wilfred… I got to know that you were claiming him as your son…I am warning you… if you interfere in my son's life again I will be the one who kills you… remember that…" Daisy pointed her index finger.
"No Daisy… I realised that I did wrong… sorry… here after I won't disturb you both…" Wilfred acted pitifully in front of Daisy.
"Goodbye…"He turned around and walked away after smirking at Ben who was looking at him in a daze. Seeing Wilfred's cunning smirk Ben realised that never Wilfred would change. Wilfred was attempting hard to act pitifully in front of Daisy.
As Wilfred moved out of church Daisy felt her legs weakening. She held the chair nearby and sat lifelessly. It was her mistake to believe Wilfred once and be trapped in a marriage. But soon after realising the real face of Wilfred she only had the wish to save the eight-year-old boy who was mentally and physically distressed. Never will she let go of her son.
After a long time, she wiped her tears and gazed at Ben.
" Ben… Never tell this to Grey… he has a future… I need him to forget his past and move on… promise me…" Daisy whispered gazing at Ben.
"Sure Madam… I won't tell him…" Ben assured Daisy.
Flashback ends~
Grey tightened up his fist to control his anger. That past incident which he needed to forget flashed through his mind.
Meanwhile, Luka blinked gazing at Ben. So much happened and he was unaware of everything all this time. When Luka finished college immediately his Dad made him an assistant to Grey. He doesn't know much about Ben's work life. Luka only knows that Ben was a chauffeur for a rich man. But a few years back he left work and joined Grey. From then on Ben was like a family to Grey. Sometimes Luka would wonder why his Dad respected Grey to a great extent. Ben even addressed him as 'Young Master'.
Noticing Grey was quiet, Ben dragged Luka and strode out.
"Dad" Luka got irritated.
"Luka… I am warning you… you shouldn't spill out anything you heard inside… everything should only be buried inside you… if ever you try to act against Young Master's orders I will chop you into slices and feed you to dogs. Remember that…" Ben gritted his teeth.
"Dad… what the hell? I am your son…" Luka reminded Ben.
"Maybe… but the one who is inside is my saviour who saved you too… so my first preference is him…" Ben muttered in a low but cold voice and strode away. Luka stood startled by his Dad's snub.
"Maybe?" Luka mimicked. Very well… which Dad says that 'maybe' to his son. But Ben did. Because for him his young master who run-through every up and down in front of him was the real fighter.
Meanwhile Grey stood a long time gazing at the sky which was turning bright red and yellow tint. Tears streamed out of his eyes as he remembered Danet.
"Mom… still… I miss you…" Grey murmured.
