CHAPTER 23
SAME NIGHT ≈ CITY JAIL
Clayton sits on the chair inside the visiting room of the police station waiting patiently for his dad.
His dad was arrested for smuggling drugs three years ago, and ever since then, he has been in jail.
Although Clayton believes his father is innocent of the crime laid against, but there was nothing he could do since no one agree to take up his case.
Nicholas came out from the cell and Clayton stood up to his feet when he saw the bruises on his dad’s face.
“What happened to your face dad?” He asked, worriedly.
“It’s nothing son”
“This isn’t nothing dad. Did your prison mates gang up on you again? Why are they bent on making life hard for you?” Clayton asked in a crying voice.
FLASH BACK ≈ THE NIGHT OF MOLLY MOON’S FAKE ATTEMPTED SUI.CIDE
Molly Moon sniffles as she buried her head on the ground. Clayton has succeeded in cutting some of her hair.
“I just got a call from my mom, Clayton. Do you want to crash at my house while I figure out why she wants to see me?” Freddie asked.
“I will pass. Let’s meet up at the lounge after I am done with her”
“Alright Clayton see you at the lounge” Freddie said and leaves.
Clayton looked at Molly Moon who was still kneeing on the ground and sighed.
“Are you cursed?” He asked and Molly Moon raised her head to look at him, sniffling.
“I think you’re cursed Molly Moon, because everyone around you hates you. I hate you a lot and yet I can’t figure out why I hate you.
I don’t want to keep bullying you, so do me a favor by not showing your face to me again” Clayton said and stood up to leave, but he got a call from the police station.
“Hello. What!!! He was hospitalized? Do everything in your power to save him and I will be there in a few minutes” Clayton said in panic. He ended the call and took to his heels, crying.
FLASH BACK ENDS ≈ PRESENT DAY
“Until when we they stopped treating you like a criminal? You’re not even a criminal, you were set up!”
“I am fine Miguel” Nicholas said, calling his real name.
Miguel Aniston is his real name. He was schooling in Germany when his dad got arrested for smuggling drugs, and because Nicholas doesn’t want to involve Clayton in his criminal scandal, he denies ever having a son, and he personally told Clayton to change his name so no one could see him as the son of a criminal.
Clayton has been hiding his real identity from everyone around him, and that’s why Freddie and Ivan don’t have a clue about his family.
On the night he didn’t show up at the lounge owned by him, Freddie and Dawson, he was actually with his dad, who was hospitalized.
Tears falls down from Clayton’s eyes after Nicholas called him Miguel.
“It’s been long you called Miguel. Everyone in this prison thinks I’m just someone who pities you, what they don’t know is I’m actually your son.
I’m going to find a way to prove your innocence dad, so that I won’t always cry in my sleep again.
I promise you that I’d try my best to find the person who set you up” Clayton said, sniffling and Nicholas let out a sad smile.
