Son of the Sea Chapter 1 1

I watched fascinated as a white light flashed through the sky then disappeared. I pressed my face against the window waiting for another one to appear. A booming noise caused me to jump in my seat and remove my face from the window.

"Its thunder," my father said chuckling softly.

My head immediately snapped to him. "I know that word, I remember it from a book I read, ugh, it usually follows lighting," I replied beaming proud of myself.

"Lighting, is that what you remember seeing," he replied glancing at me, his long blonde hair shaking with every move of his head.

I stare at him confused. The pronunciation did seem wrong. When mom had said it, it didn't sound like that.

"Lighting, LIGHTNING," I squealed excited.

Dad chuckled softly reaching over to ruffle my hair. His laughter boomed over the sound of heavy rainfall pounding on the car.

"That's my boy, my very smart boy," his words made my heart swell with pride and the look in his eyes made me feel like the king of the world.

The car suddenly jerked towards the railing preventing them from going towards the railing and my heart skipped a beat. My dad quickly removed his hand from head to better control the car with two hands. He pulled the car away from the railing but it happened again. My hands gripped my seatbelt tight.

A bright light appeared in front of us and the screeching sound of a car's horn. The car suddenly jerks towards the railing forcefully and slams into it. I slam my eyes shut as I felt the car seat disappear from under me. My eyes snap open as cold bites at my skin.

Darkness surrounded me as I forced my eyes to stay open, the salt in the water stinging my eyes. My arms and legs try to push at the water in an attempt to swim but I don't know how to. Large bubbles floated away from me as I tried to scream for my dad but the salt water slowly seeped into my lungs, they felt like they were about to explode. A shadow flickered in front of my blurred vision. A huge object fell into the water as well causing the wave to push me further down suddenly something sharp sailed pass me slicing my cheek in the process. And a light shined from the surface above and hope hugged my heart until I felt something grabbed my feet and the light slowly got smaller and smaller.

I gasped awake and found my mouth full of sand. I hurriedly spit it out and move away from that area. A cold moist substance touched my foot immediately I pulled my feet away and look at the source of the moistness only to breath a sigh of relief when I realized it's just water. I also realize that I was naked and there were two people coming towards me a man and a woman. Looking around for my clothes I found nothing but a bundle of seaweed hurriedly I hid myself just as they reached me.

"Are you ok young man," the female stranger asked.

I opened my mouth to answer but it wasn't my voice that came out, " yes, I'm fine thank you," I sounded like I had a cold, my voice was so deep.

"Aren't you a little too young to be partying with the seniors though how old are you, 15, 16," the male stranger said.

Confused I said, " actually I'm 10." They both looked at each other with a knowing look before the male reached into his bag and took out some extra clothes and handed them to me.

"Put some clothes on, we'll take you to the police station."

Thankful I accepted the clothes and hurriedly put them on, they were a size too big who was I to complain it was clothes. It was weird that he had an extra pair if clothes in his bag but let's be honest who was weirder me or him at the moment. The strangers names was Dan and Chelsey. They were currently taking me to the police station and Chelsey kept on saying that I wasn't in any trouble which was very suspicious.

Also three was a bag of chains in a bag lying on floor of the car. Chelsey is very talkative and has been telling me about their lives. Why, I don't know I mean I could probably be a serial killer. They were married and had a daughter who was turning 19 in a few days. She was the star that lit up their lives and they were very proud of what she is, what she will become. Is what Chelsea told me word for word. You see when your in a car with strangers you should pay close attention to them that was the second thing my dad taught me. The first hasn't occurred yet.

"What's your name son," Dan asked.

I sat their for a while before I said, "Charles....................Seamos."

They car swivered a bit before straightening again. Suddenly I saw a flash of light and rain before I felt someone shake me. I stared at the hand on my shoulder before slowly looking toward the person who touched me. One side of his hair was uniformly black and the other side was white even his mustache was just like the hair on his head. One of his eyes were green and the other was brown. Was I in the right place? Why was everyone so weird?

"Hello son, Dan and Chelsey told me about your...ah.... situation and I have few questions to ask you," the odd man says while sitting down in the chair in front of me.

He looked uncomfortable because he kept glancing at the door every now and then and his questions were even more confusing. On his shirt was a badge that read sheriff.

"Have you ever consumed drugs," he asked glancing up.

"Ah no", I replied creasing my forehead.

"Have you ever consumed alcohol," he asked now staring at me dead in the eyes.

"No, wouldn't that kill a person," I replied staring back at him confused.

He smiled and continued to ask his weird questions.

"Ok, that's enough questions for today, there is someone coming to see you but if they deny that they know you, well, you'll spend the time here until further notice," the man said then got up and walked through the door. I sat their wondering if the person coming for me was my father, I wonder if he was ok and if he had washed up on a beach just like I did. As I think back to the happenings of the day I started to wonder if I had blacked out on the way to the police station because I didn't remember anything. I slowly stood up and walked around the room. I catch a glimpse of my reflection in a mirror. I looked taller and older, I looked different. It was terrifying, what happened to me, it's like I was a different person. I reached my hand up to touch my face but was interrupted by the door being burst open and a woman rushed in, a woman I never thought I'd sees again.

"Mom," I said feeling a tear run down my cheek.

"Charles," my mother says tears pouring down her face as she met me in an embrace, we stayed like that for a while before we pulled away simultaneously and said at the same time:

"Where is dad?"

"Where were you," she started and finished sadly as she heard what I said "all this time."

"Son your father didn't survived the crash and you were lost at sea for 5 years," his mother said quietly. And that's how my life got so much worst than it already was.

I was the titan of Wall Street until an indictment and an ankle monitor turned my penthouse into a gilded cage. To save face, I was forced into a marriage with Elza, a "mute" girl from the Schmidt family whom I treated as nothing more than a silent piece of furniture while my empire crumbled. The night I was poisoned at a high-society gala, a mysterious server in an oversized uniform saved my life with terrifying, clinical precision. They disappeared into the night, leaving me with a silver cufflink and a burning obsession to find the shadow who held my life in their hands. Back home, I took my frustration out on Elza, telling her she was "exhausting to look at" and "smelled like sickness" after her charity visits. Her own family treated her like a stray dog, trying to humiliate her at the next gala by dressing her in what they claimed was a cheap knockoff while whispering to the press that she was nothing but a high-end escort. "Stay out of my way," I would growl at her, never noticing the steel in her eyes. I sat at my table, watching my rivals' stocks plummet and wondering who "The Zero"—the legendary financial ghost—really was. I never suspected that the woman I ignored was the same one solving the equations that were currently burning Manhattan to the ground. The injustice peaked when Elza stood before the city's elite, not as a victim, but as a queen. She dropped over a hundred million dollars to buy back her family’s legacy, revealing a secret fortune that made my own empire look like pocket change. As I grabbed her wrist and saw the small red mole hidden beneath her watch, the truth hit me like a physical blow. The silent wife I had despised was the savior I had been hunting, and she was finally done playing the victim. "We have a lot to talk about, wife," I whispered, realizing I had been sleeping next to the most dangerous woman in the world.

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.

I had just survived a private jet crash, my body a map of violet bruises and my lungs still burning from the smoke. I woke up in a sterile hospital room, gasping for my husband's name, only to realize I was completely alone. While I was bleeding in a ditch, my husband, Adam, was on the news smiling at a ribbon-cutting ceremony. When I tracked him down at the hospital's VIP wing, I didn't find a grieving husband. I found him tenderly cradling his ex-girlfriend, Casie, in his arms, his face lit with a protective warmth he had never shown me as he carried her into the maternity ward. The betrayal went deeper than I could have imagined. Adam admitted the affair started on our third anniversary-the night he claimed he was stuck in London for a merger. Back at the manor, his mother had already filled our planned nursery with pink boutique bags for Casie's "little princess." When I demanded a divorce, Adam didn't flinch. He sneered that I was "gutter trash" from a foster home and that I'd be begging on the streets within a week. To trap me, he froze my bank accounts, cancelled my flight, and even called the police to report me for "theft" of company property. I realized then that I wasn't his partner; I was a charity case he had plucked from obscurity to manage his life. To the Hortons, I was just a servant who happened to sleep in the master bedroom, a "resilient" woman meant to endure his abuse in silence while the whole world laughed at the joke that was my marriage. Adam thought stripping me of his money would make me crawl back to him. He was wrong. I walked into his executive suite during his biggest deal of the year and poured a mug of sludge over his original ten-million-dollar contracts. Then, right in front of his board and his mistress, I stripped off every designer thread he had ever paid for until I was standing in nothing but my own silk camisole. "You can keep the clothes, Adam. They're as hollow as you are." I grabbed my passport, turned my back on his billions, and walked out of that glass tower barefoot, bleeding, and finally free.
