Not your typical baby mama

Edmund was descending the stairs following right behind his master. He had neatly hooked Zach's jacket on one arm and used his free hand to carry the man's briefcase. They walked on until they reached the dining room. Zach's brows knitted when he saw his brother glazing his pancakes with maple syrup.

"You're still here?" He asked as he settled down. Edmund stood to the side while a maid came to Zach's side to serve the man his morning coffee.

"Well good morning to you too Zach. Why, I'm fine thanks for asking and yes, I'm enjoying breakfast", Xavier forced a smile. "Why are you so grumpy?"

Probably because of their talk about finding Amy, he dreamt of finally having her home, waking up together in the same bed and having breakfast. It pissed him off that his reality was far from that, he wished he could sleep a little more and go back to his dreams where he could be with her. So seeing his brother sitting where Amy was sitting in his dream didn't exactly help with his mood. He didn't say anything and simply sat down and served himself.

The sound of heels clicking on the marble floor was heard approaching. The boys knew who it was before the person showed themselves. Victoria walked in looking beautiful in a flowy floral dress, three inch sandal heels that exposed her pedicured toes, and simple pearl jewelry to complete the ensemble. Her brown hair had been curled and left to fall freely. She looked vibrant and much younger than her age.

"Isn't this a beautiful sight?" She smiled as she settled at the head of the table.

Edmund signaled a maid to serve Mrs. Frost while the latter waved a hand of dismissal. "No need. I'm fine", she announced.

Edmund looked to the maid who returned to her post. Victoria propped her elbow on the table and rested her cheek on her hand as she took in her sons sitting on opposite sides of the table.

"That hair is a good look on Raphy," She commented in amusement.

"I told him the same thing! The kid looks handsome", Xavier agreed.

He forked a pancake and opened his mouth to eat when he froze upon sensing a stare. Victoria was staring at him with an amused smile playing on her lips. Xavier let out a helpless sigh and dropped the fork back on his plate. "Mom, this has got to stop. Is that why you came here?"

He found her random visit to be suspicious. She must have found out he slept over to corner him so she could sell him her crazy idea.

"Innocent until proven guilty", she gave him an innocent smile. She turned and looked in Zach's direction. "Zach, when are you going to let me meet your friend?"

"You look nice mother, going somewhere?" Zach countered.

Victoria broke into a giggle when she heard this and smacked Xavier's arm from feeling bashful. Edmund winced when he saw this as though he was the one getting hit.

"Ow!" Xavier rubbed his arm.

'Why are her hits so strong?' He's wearing a suit but he can still feel the sting like she hit his bare skin. Victoria paid no attention to this as she flipped her hair.

"You think so? Thank you my dear son! I'm going to meet a new friend, I told you about Nicole? The one I hit with the golf ball?" She reminded the boys and Zach nodded.

The woman couldn't see that Zach had deliberately changed the subject. He knew how much his mother treasured his compliments since he rarely gave any. It was always Xavier and half of the time it was because he wanted something. So when Zach complimented her, it means she really looked good.

'And she survived?' Edmund mused in shock.

The air seemed to suddenly drop in temperature. He looked towards the table to find Victoria glaring at him. The butler gasped, he had just thought that out loud.

"My apologies Madam", he took a polite now.

She cleared her throat a little forcefully before turning her attention back to Zach. "So I'm meeting her to see how she's doing."

Xavier was originally curious to know who this Nicole was but when he heard the person had become his mother's friend, he pictured it to be someone in the same age group as Victoria. He went back to devouring his meal. For some reason, he had the sudden urge to meet her again. It was probably the lust. He wondered what other tricks she had in bed or out of it. She was a wild one, it was exhilarating.

"We need to get to work", Zach announced as he stood up.

Edmund walked over and helped him into his jacket while Zach proceeded to button up by himself.

"I have to go too. I have a lot to do this morning", he too stood up to leave.

The boys kissed their mother on the cheek before they left the room. Edmund was right behind the two men as he walked them out. The bodyguards were already in their positions and one stood holding the door open for Zach. The latter was about to get in when he stopped and looked at his brother.

"Xav?" He called out who got the said man's attention. "You should look for her."

"Who?" Xavier's brows rose in confusion. He, who always understood what his brother said even with his short sentences, found himself blank in that moment. Zach sighed, he hated explaining himself but it seemed he needed to.

"Think of the one time you switched off your phone and resisted the drama that comes with mother's little show."

With that said, he got into his car and Edmund placed the briefcase inside. The convoy drove off leaving Xavier standing there with his mouth wide open.

'How did he know.... about Nicole?'

"Xavie!" Victoria shouted from the house.

That snapped him out of his trance and he quickly got into his car. He knew what that meant when she addressed him like that.
