I need more, dear readers. Reviews inspire me, so PLEASE DO. :)
The whole night, Vincent had been tossing and turning. Meeting Catherine had been a pleasure; she was the nicest woman he'd ever met in his life. Besides the fact that she was a true Beauty. He liked her smile and her pretty dimples. From her shiny, dark hair to her gorgeous hazel eyes. When she laughed, he swore that he could hear angels sing. She seemed to come out of a fairy tale, her dark blue dress and her hair up, held by a hairpin. Did she maybe… truly stepped out of a fairy tale?
Was meeting this beauty a blessing or a curse?
She had an effect on him. Well that was an understatement! He'd just met her, but she made him feel so comfortable in his skin, that he wanted to tell her about the life he had led. Strange! No other person had ever given him that feeling. The feeling that he could completely trust them. Yes, Calinico he trusted with his life. But then again, Calinico had practically raised Vincent along with his grandmother.
But this woman, who looked like Agathe, made him feel so vulnerable. He liked that feeling, but at the same time, he hated it! Cause he, Vincent Keller, was always friendly, calm, polite, patient, nice, in control but always, ALWAYS had his guard up. Towards most people.
But how she made him feel, terrified him. They'd just met, but several times, he almost let go of his control in her presence. And he saw that she had noticed it too; it was like she wanted him to let go of his control.
Shaking his head, he decided to stop thinking about her. Sleeping was always difficult for him, because he was frightened of the nightmares. Nightmares that had been haunting him for almost 3 long years. They were not exactly nightmares, but memories. Memories of what happened to Demetrios.
It was passed midnight, when Vincent finally had fallen asleep. After tossing and turning, trying to fight the memories in his mind.
Vincent woke up around 5:30 in the morning. He looked to his side and saw his wife still sleeping. Rolling his eyes, he got out of bed and immediately took a shower. Alexia had been partying all night long. He was glad that she didn't drag him along, because he had to maintain an entire empire. He wondered why he married her. She was so selfish; she didn't even wanted to watch over Demetrios. It was a good thing that he had Calinico; that nice old man really loved the little boy.
Stepping out of the shower, he got dressed and saw his wife still sleeping. What time did she come home? About 3 or 4 in the morning, he guessed. After he got dressed, he slipped out the bedroom door and walked to the balcony.
His breakfast was already set, so Vincent took a seat. While reading the morning paper, he wondered if Demetrios was already up. He finished his juice and toast and decided to go to Demetrios. Just as he was about to walk into the hall, he saw him!
"Daddy, daddy! I saw a birdie! He was singing a song, daddy!" Demetrios said enthusiastically.
Leaping into his arms, Vincent held his son tightly. Demetrios was almost 3. His birthday was coming up in the next month. The little boy had so much to tell his dad, making Vincent laugh. Alexia was an awful woman, selfish and shallow but… she gave him the best gift ever. His son; Demetrios.
Vincent knew that she was cheating on him with other men, but he just didn't want a divorce. He was afraid to lose custody and he just didn't care anymore what Alexia did or did not do.
The first time, he heard from a very trustworthy source that she was making out with some man, Vincent got very angry. But in time, he just ignored her. She wanted the life style he could provide for her and he wanted to keep Demetrios. So, they both got what they want from each other.
Calinico advised him so many times to just divorce 'that EVIL hag'! But he refused, saying that she isn't doing anyone any harm. As long as Vincent had Demetrios in his life, then his life is complete.
Vincent gave demetrios a bath and clothed him. Then he made sure that the little boy ate his breakfast.
"Mr. Vincent sir, you can go to the office. I will look after the little boy. Cause you know 'the hag' never watches over her own son." Calinico stated.
"Calinico! Don't call her that!" he replied, but had to laugh about his butler's comment.
"Okay, here you go. Look well after him, Calinico. Cause he's more precious than all the marbles in the world." Vincent said and kissed the boy on his forehead.
And just as Vincent was about to walk away, they heard a cough behind them. Alexia!
He turned around and asked."What do you need, Alexia?"
"Oh, Vincent. You're still here?" she replied, but then turned to the butler.
" Calinico, I need my caviar. Why is there none in the kitchen?" she demanded.
The butler rolled his eyes and said."Because you ate it all?"
Vincent laughed internally and decided to go to work. Cause he didn't want to be late. He was never late.
He left the three alone and stepped into his Porsche.
In the meantime Calinico was arguing with Alexia.
"Hey, don't you talk to me that way! And I saw you rolling your eyes at me! How dare you?" she shouted.
"Miss Alexia, don't you fret okay? I will go get you your precious caviar." Calinico muttered and walked away with Demetrios.
"Hey, you don't have to bring him along! Let me look after him." she said.
Calinico laughed sarcastically.
"You? You're going to watch your son? I don't think so, miss Alexia. Once you were so drunk and sleepy from partying all night, that you lost him in a mall! That won't happen again! I will make sure of it." Calinico said. His voice was trembling, cause he was still angry with her about that incident.
"I don't know how, but one day Calinico, I am so going to get rid of you!" she threatened.
"Just try, miss Alexia. One day, Mr. Vincent will see how evil you are and will kick you out!" He spat.
Demetrios began to cry, cause he didn't like when people were fighting.
"See what you have done?!" she shouted and grabbed the little boy.
Dragging him into her room, she then locked it.
"Watch over him well, miss Alexia! Don't fall asleep, okay? Watch over Mr. Vincent's baby boy!" he shouted.
Calinico was FURIOUS! But he did say that he was going to get 'the hag' her precious caviar. He jumped into the car, but did not drive away yet. He was a bit worried about Demetrios. But, they were both in her bedroom. How much damage could Alexia do?
He then drove away, so he could come back to take care of his gem, Demetrios.

Vincent had just arrived in his office, when he heard his cell phone ring. Alexia?
"Vin… Vincent, OH MY… OMG, Vin…." She stammered, sobbing uncontrollably.
"Alexia, WHATS WRONG!" he demanded.
"It… its … Deme… Demetrios." She sobbed.
"Where is Calinico?!" he exclaimed.
"He went to get my… ca… caviar." She stammered, while sobbing.
Without delay, Vincent immediately ran out of the building and jumped into his car. Their home was 5 minutes away. His heart rammed against his rib cage.
"Omg! God, please. Don't let anything happen to my baby." He prayed, while tears pooled in his eyes.
He arrived at home and jumped out of the car.
"Demetrios! Alexia! Where are you?" he shouted.
They had a swimming pool. In a flash, he saw Alexia drag their baby boy out of the water. Vincent ran as fast as his feet could carry him to his baby boy and grabbed him from Alexia. His life flashed before his eyes, seeing his little boy like that.
He wasn't breathing, he had no pulse. Vincent tried to resuscitate him, but it was no use. Calinico arrived and saw the scene before him. He let the caviar fall to the ground and ran towards his precious, precious little boy. But not before calling for help.
At one point, Calinico had to stop Vincent. With tears rolling down his cheeks, he placed a hand on his.
"Mr. Vincent, please stop. Stop, please. He… he is … gone." Calinico sobbed.
The ambulance arrived and within minutes, the place was filled with people.
Vincent couldn't believe it! His beautiful little boy… he was… he was gone?! He began to sob uncontrollably, while he grabbed a nearby chair and threw it through a window. The glass broke into million pieces...
"No!" he shouted and fell to his knees, crying his heart out.
He kept shouting." Demetrios! Demetrios, my baby boy!"
Sobbing uncontrollably, he saw only his little boy. His little boy, who was so innocent. His little boy… He will never see him again. He will never see him laugh anymore and will never hear his voice, hold him tight, kiss his cheeks.
Vincent sobbed like a baby and was inconsolable. Calinico tried to help him up, but he REFUSED.
In a flash, his gaze captured Alexia's and he got up. Calinico, the cook, the limo driver and the rest of his staff immediately were on full alert.
He leaped at her, but they all held him back and some of them stood in front of Alexia.
Vincent then sobbed. "You! Where were you?! Why did you do this to our son? He is DEAD and this is all your fault!"
Again, Vincent sank to the floor and cried his heart out…

Vincent woke up, gasping loudly. The sheets and pillows were wet from his sweat and tears.
"Demetrios, my baby boy." He whispered, while the tears ran down his cheeks.
PLEASE DO REVIEW.
So you now know who Demetrios was and what happened to him.
