Not your typical baby mama

"Well then, I'll see you around", she said, turning to Noah so they could leave.

"Wait!" Xavier shouted.

"Where are you going?" Henry asked immediately after him.

Victoria stopped in her tracks and looked at both of them. She scoffed, "Why? Do you plan on following us again?"

"Mom, he's not right for you."

"We're still married Victoria, stop this!"

"Leave me alone, will you? You both should know by now that you don't have a say in this", she said after letting out a tired sigh. It was clear she did not want to deal with them. "Come on Noah."

The two turned to leave and moved on. Xavier and Henry had their brows furrowed as they watched this scene in displeasure. The father and son pair exchanged a look and an understanding passed between them as they nodded at each other.

"I'm sorry about that, Noah. Where shou- aaaaarrrrrggghh!" She shrieked when she felt her body leave the ground to be carried in a position that let her directly see the floor. She recognized Henry's ass shaking in those tight jeans. He had flung her over his shoulder and was walking away.

"Help me! I'm being kidnapped! Help!" Victoria screamed earning the attention of her shadow bodyguards who appeared within seconds. "Hel- argh!"

Smack!

"Henry you pervert!" She shrieked when she felt a familiar sting on her ass. "Put me dowwwwn! I'll get a backache from this."

"Don't worry, I have a cure for that", he said with a sly chuckle.

"You're not getting any of this!" She snapped.

Bodyguards: "..."

"We'll see about that", he said while dismissing the men with a wave of his hand.

Xavier wished he could dig a hole and hide because of his parents. They weren't acting their age at all. He was so embarrassed he had momentarily forgotten about his grudge against Henry. He muttered a curse under his breath.

Noah panicked when he saw this and moved to intervene when Xavier appeared in his path, blocking him. A sly grin stretched on his lips as he looked down on him.

"You and I, we need to have a little chat", he said in a low tone.

"Out of my way. Victoria agreed to this", he moved to go around Xavier when the bodyguards appeared again. They were a terrifying sight as they faced him, ready to pounce on him should he take another step towards Victoria.

"That's Mrs. Frost to you", Xavier corrected. "Quite brave of you to mess with my mother, a married woman."

He took off his jacket and a bodyguard came to his side to hold it for him. Then he went to undo his cufflinks and rolled up his shirt to his elbows. Noah swallowed a hard lump as he watched Xavier expose his thick forearms. There was no doubt he worked out. It would practically take one punch to knock him out.

"Wai- wait! Wait! I'll tell you everything!" He shouted.

,m Xavier smirked as he continued to roll up his sleeves. He was right. Noah did have a hidden agenda. "Tell me what?"

"It was a set up!"

The response he got was the sound of Xavier's knuckles cracking. Noah swallowed another hard lump and could feel perspiration start to form on his forehead. Xavier's expression had already hardened at this point, he looked so scary.

"A set up?"

"Yes! This whole thing was a set up by-" he let out a pain filled grunt when Xavier's hard fist made contact with his nose before he collapsed to the ground. "-your mother."

Xavier heard him speak but he thought he misheard the last part. He stopped himself from landing another punch as he processed Noah's words. He was in shock.

"What did you just say?"

"It was a set up by your mother", he repeated in a strained voice.

A show? His mother orchestrated this whole show? All this while? Noah could see from the ground he lay that the news greatly shocked Xavier. He was sure he had so many questions but he needed to get his broken nose attended.

"You can ask her the actual reasons but she said it's for you and your father. I'm telling the truth man! I like Vic- Mrs. Frost but I would never go as far as ruining a marriage for personal gains. I have morals as a person", he said.

However, all Xavier picked up on was Noah's first sentence. He was deeply shocked by the revelation. "Did you say it's because of me and Henry?"

"If that's your father then yes, you and him. Look, I need to get my nose checked..."

Xavier nodded away absentmindedly letting the man walk away whilst holding his nose. Xavier's brows furrowed, he was confused, angry, and felt a great sense of betrayal. What was his mother trying to achieve? If this was some trick to rile them up, then she succeeded seeing how they both went to spy on her. But why?

With that, Xavier left the cinema. His steps were hurried and he looked lost. Tonight was too much for him, first the breakup and now, this. In his confused state, he took his car and drove off.

When he got to his destination, he got down from his car and got into the house. He could hear a faint sound coming from the living room. The News channel was on. But that didn't concern him, he was still confused. He loosened his tie as he walked and soon walked into the living room.

"Xavier?" Amy called out in surprise taking in his state. Worry overtook her features. She was currently lying on the sofa with pillows supporting her while resting her head on Zach's lap.

He threw himself on a sofa and rested his elbows on on his knees. He took his head into his hands and run them through his hair. Amy looked up at Zach and an understanding passed between them. She groaned as he help her sit up.

"I'll go up first", she whispered.

"I'll join you shortly", he whispered back and pecked her lips.

With a groan, she got up from the sofa and pulled on her robe to fix it. She looked at Xavier and chose to leave the room without saying anything. Zach took the remote and turned off the UST projector.

"Mom..... She planned all this....", He said whilst still looking down then looked up showing his hurt and confusion. Although Zach looked like his usual self, calm, collected and impassive, Xavier could see something else as realization dawned on him. "You knew?"

"I took a wild guess", he admitted.

"You should have said something!" Xavier shook his head in disbelief.

Zach briefly fell quiet before he spoke up. "I think it's best if you talk to her and find out why she did this. Think about it, why would she go to this extent?"

"You don't know?" He asked and Zach chose to remain mum.

It was Xavier's turn to fall quiet. That question had been gnawing at him. He could make a guess but he believed his mother would not go as far, she knew better than to do so.

He wanted answers but Henry probably had kept her preoccupied. He didn't need to be told after what he witnessed and, he knew his parents. But that doesn't mean he liked the idea of Henry waltzing back into his life.

"Can I sleep here?" He asked to which Zach gestured with his hand silently giving him a go ahead.

The two men stood up and moved to take stairs to retire for the night. They walked side by side as they ascended.

"Nicole and I are over", he broke the silence.

Zach patted his shoulder consolingly. "How do you feel?"

"I'm more bothered by Mom's drama than Nicole", he shrugged.

"You're fine", Zach said, he could easily tell. He had seen Xavier at his worst and this was nothing hence Zach's conclusion. After all, it also had to do with a woman.

The two went to their respective rooms. Xavier simply sat on the edge of the bed in thought assuming the earlier sitting position he had in the living room. One thought crossed his mind: he would learn the truth tomorrow.
