Chapter 619 - Second Young master scheme

"Sir, young master is here. He is asking to meet you" Butler said.

"Hmm… ask Edward to wait in my study room. I will freshen up and come" Jaxon smiled cunningly.

...…..

"Dad. What's wrong?" Edward asked. After pretending for these many years he can act with the flow.

Danielle, his wife often 'compliment' him that he will surpass the Hollywood actor's.

"Nothing Edward. We just found out that your big uncle is alive" Jaxon faintly spoke. He is trying his level best to act pitiful.

Now a days, his father Elder Braxton is not so close to him but his grandson. If he wanted to curry some favors he should of course use his son, Edward for that.

Meanwhile, Edward rolled his eyes internally. Acting pitiful will not change anything…..nor will it stop him from seeking his own destruction.

"That's a good news I guess" Edward asked little uncertain.

"It would have been a good news but…" his father pursed his lips.

Edward clenched his fists. He knew that this so called father of him will use his mother to gain sympathy here.

As much as he wants to shout aloud that his mother is alive and doing very well without her husband's interference he knew that he can't take the risk of exposing his mother, pregnant sister. Mainly he don't want his father to find out that his son is already married and have twin daughters.

That will risk their life.

"But?" Edward who quickly gained his composure asked.

"But..." his father looked at him with red eyes. "Edward, I hid this from you….but the real reason for your mother and unborn sibling's death is your big uncle. I thought he will change but.." his father choked.

Edward almost lost his control and his hands itched to beat the shit out of his father. However, he should endure all this drama at least till Jean and Kiara gives birth.

Jean's expected date is on next week and Kiara's is on next month. Meanwhile, Seline's is on this week itself.

She will be admitted in the hospital by next day.

"Why did you hide this from me. I will not leave anyone who harmed my mother and sibling. Whoever they are...they will surely face my ire." Edward emotionally told.

This time he didn't fake any of his emotions. Every word he had said now are deep from his heart. However, this words are not meant for his uncle Julian but his own father Jaxon.

"Edward, I can't bear to lose you too. That is the reason I didn't tell you anything. But, now I didn't have any option….I need your help to avenge your mother. I want you to shred that innocent façade from your uncle's vicious face. Once your grandfather finds this out….half of your uncle's power will be taken away from him" his father unknowingly gave him a good advice.

He don't know that his cunning mentality will be the first step of his destruction.

"I will think about it dad. But I will not let you down...your wish to avenge my mother will surely be done" Edward said.

"I am proud of you son." Jaxon said. His eyes are twinkling with joy. He don't know that he himself dig his own grave.

"I will be going then. I have a meeting to attend with grandfather" Edward said.

"Meeting?" Jaxon asked all surprised.

"Yes. With INA" Edward smiled.

Though he don't have any meeting this is high time for his grandfather to know about the truth.

The only problem might come when he will find out about Julian and Sophia….but it is already in the past.

And if they think about the present….who don't want his beloved son back, in front of his eyes.

And who will say no if he will get grandchildren and great grandchildren in return.

"Are you ending the partnership?" Jaxon asked. He will be the happiest person if that will happen.

"No Dad. We actually have partnership signed only for one project. It is coming to an end so we are meeting the CEO to sign the doc.u.ments" Edward lied.

His father is never interested in business nor what is happening in their company. So, even if he lie he will not find out about it.

Meanwhile Jaxon grinned.

As soon as this meeting will be completed and the partnership will be done for his good, he can attack Jean.

After she die, he can target council without any problem. Everything will be left unturned…

....

Jean woke up in the midnight only to look at her husband who is shivering a little. His eyes are tightly shut and the hand that is resting on her hand is sweating profusely.

His face buried in the crook of her neck and his forehead is drenching with sweat.

Her face etched with concern and she is about to wake him up but she froze as she heard him mumbling something.

Though she can't hear what he is mumbling incoherently, it is obvious that he is worried about her.

He is having nightmare and it is about her. Her heart twisted with pain and she couldn't help but tear up.

Since the starting of their relationship, all she gave him is worry and tensions. But he stayed with her always no matter what…

She is very lucky to have him.

She is drawn back from train of her thoughts when Scott trembled and he involuntarily hugged her tightly.

"Scott wake up" Jean started waking him up. As his arms are tightly holding her she felt little uncomfortable because of her heavy belly.

"Honey…..you will hurt the baby" Jean gently pushed him a little.

It is only when Scott woke up. But as soon as he opened his eyes they are bloodshot and misty.

He is crying in his sleep!!
