so please be gentle, Almas”, Leonard asked me.
“Hey, that’s the skinny geek we found online!” Diamond entered the house.
“Leo, please meet our sweet guest, Diamond, who doesn’t know how to keep her mouth shut”, I smiled at him.
“Leo? Wasn’t his name Liam?” she wondered.
“Yes… yes it was. Liam is his stage name…” I tried to explain without arousing her suspicion.
“Oh, speaking of stage names, mine is Diamond. I used to be a big singer until my identity was stolen. Do you think you could help me with that? You work for the system right?” she asked him.
“Not now Diamond! We need to get to the city”, I got out of my bedroom.
“Look at you, all dressed up. You allow her to walk around like that in the city of sins?” she turned to Leonard who couldn’t stop laughing.
“Goodbye Diamond!” I shouted with a smile and waved at Leonard.
“Goodbye and good luck!” Leonard blessed us.
The place was packed and we couldn’t move. Leo and I tried to push ourselves to front raw so we could grab Dark beast’s attention.
“Ladies and Gentlemen, we are about to begin”, the host announced and the hustle slowly faded out at the auditorium.
First came to the stage, my dear friend Kujo followed by some guards and after a long moment of anticipation he finally arrived. Dark beast, my love, the father of my child, he took the stage with all his glory.
He greeted everybody and started his speech. I didn’t hear what he was saying and I didn’t care, all I wanted was one glance. I stood there on the front raw next to my son and just kept on gazing into his eyes, waiting for him to notice me.
Finally, it happened. He saw me. Our eyes connected and he paused. Suddenly, there was nobody else in the hall but the two of us. He scanned me from head to toe and I could notice he was amused by the sight of my red dress. The last time he saw me wearing it, I tried to kill him. That was also the time I had realized, I was falling in love with him.
I drew near my son to let Dark beast realize we were together. I had to capture his first reaction. Did he see him before? Did he know that was his son? But all I got was an envious look. He couldn’t tolerate the sight of another man near me and I could see it tore him inside.
“The beast…” the host interfered, “Would you care to continue?” he asked and Dark beast went on with his speech.
I signaled my son it was time for us to walk out the place and we both tried to pull ourselves out through the massive crowd. We managed to reach the exit when suddenly two guards stopped us and escorted us to Dark beast‘s office.
“Wait here!” they ordered us and left.
“He didn’t recognize you Leo. I don’t think he knows… but he is about to find out”, I stated.
We waited for a long hour until finally the door opened.
“Almas!” Kujo greeted me with a big hug, “It is so good to see you again!”
“You thought of leaving without saying goodbye?” Dark beast raised his voice. He was still standing at the door and gazed at Leo. I could sense a little bit of anger in his voice.
“That was a very nice speech,” I changed the subject and tried to grab his attention.
“Thank you and who is your nice friend?” Dark beast didn’t take
