O'Briens groups LTD. (Chicago)

"Good morning, Mr O'Briens!"

Workers greeted Thanatos as he walked into his company, he nodded in acknowledgement and headed straight for the elevator.

"Good morning, Mr O'Briens" his assistant greeted him.

"Hmm" he simply hummed.

"What's my schedule for today?" Thanatos asked.

He reached the elevator and pushed the open button, the doors opened and he stepped in.

His assistant followed and pushed the 54th button, leading to his floor.

"You have meeting with this board this morning by 9am.. you have lunch with Mr Joy from hot springs hotel by 1pm..."

The elevator stopped and the doors opened, they both stepped out.

Thanatos took long strides towards his office, while his assistant rushed after him.. even though she's wearing heels.

"...and at 2:30pm you have interview with daily mirrors"

"Cancel the lunch with Mr Joy, I have another appointment then"

"Yes, sir" she replied and quickly scribbled something on her note.

Thanatos stopped in front of his office, he grabbed the handle and turned to his assistant.

"Make an appointment with Mike's kitchen to negotiate the acquisition tomorrow.. tell them their restaurant is only worth $5,000,000.. not a dime more!"

"Yes, sir"

Thanatos nodded. "Tell Patrick to see me when he arrives!"

"Yes, sir"

"That's it, you can leave" Thanatos said and stepped into his office.

He walked straight to his chair, he sat down and tossed his briefcase on the table.

"Where's Patrick?" He heard a very familiar voice asked.

He opened his briefcase and pulled out his laptop, he placed it on the table and turned it on.. totally ignoring the question.

"He didn't drive you to? You drove yourself?"

"Clark, you should be working in your department.. what are you doing here?" Thanatos asked.

Clark is his best friend, since diapers. Clark pulled a chair and sat down, he leaned on the table.

"I would have been in my department if your mom didn't call me.. no, if she wasn't disturbing my phone"

Thanatos hummed and nodded.

"Why did she called you this time?"

"Well, nothing much"

Thanatos lifted his head and arched an eyebrow at Clark, telling him to continue.

"She said you should come home, your wife misses you..."

Thanatos interrupted him with a bang on the table, he frowned.

"She's not my wife!" He stated firmly.

His eyes drift to the photo frame on his table, he reached for it and caressed it briefly..then turned it to Clark.

"This is the woman I recognize as my wife.. she'll the Mrs O'Briens I'll recognize as my wife!"

Clark sighed.

"Thana, I know you still love her, but it's already five years and still no news about her.. I think you should move on"

"No! I'll find her!"

"When? When you're old?"

Thanatos held onto the photo frame tightly, his eyes turned red as he thinks of something.

"She's hiding from me, she's mad at me for leaving so suddenly and without letting her know"

"Yes, if I were I would be mad too" Clark said.

He remembered Jasmine's broken look when he told her Thanatos was gone..

He remembered how she held herself... and tried to convince herself that Thanatos wasn't gone.. he remembered it very clearly.

"But I left for a good reason"

"Good reason?! You still couldn't stopped the wedding.. she still ended up being your wife!"

Thanatos nodded.

"My wife?" He scoffed. "She's not my wife, I didn't attend the wedding, I didn't go to the altar with her.. my brother did and that makes her my brother's wife!"

"No, it doesn't. Your brother went to the altar with her in your name, she's legally your wife"

Thanatos mind drifted back to the big argument he had with his father.

"Her name now is Jade Miguel O'Briens.. that's what makes her your wife!"

"No! She's not, I have never acknowledge her as one and I will never acknowledge her!"

Clark shook his head, his eyes landed on the lady in the photo frame.

"If she's hiding from you, then it'll be very hard to find her"

At that moment, the door opened and someone walked in.

"Mr O'Briens, Mr Evans!" He greeted them with a small bow.

Clark smiled. "Yo! Patrick is here" he said.

Patrick simply nodded and turned his attention to Thanatos.

"Sir, there's been sightings of her"

Thanatos dropped the photo frame and sat upright at once, he gave Patrick an eager look.

"Where?" He asked.

"Las Vegas, sir!"

Thanatos smiled.

"There's one more thing, sir"

"What is it?"

"She was seen with a little boy, he looks exactly like you. I don't know...."

Clark and Thanatos exchange looks, Thanatos wondered if Clark knew anything about her being pregnant then.

As if he knew what Thanatos is thinking, Clark shook his head.

"How old is the boy?" Thanatos asked Patrick.

"About five or six years, sir.. we're not so sure"

Thanatos banged on the table and broke into a smile.

"He's my son!" He said.

A sense of great joy suddenly overwhelmed him, he adjusted his suit.

"Get the jet ready"

"Sir?"

"We're going to Las Vegas today!" Thanatos said.

"Yes, sir!" Patrick said and left.

When Patrick is gone, Clark tapped the table to get Thanatos attention.

"Are you not gonna attend the dinner your mom invited you?"

"No! I'm going to get my family!" Thanatos replied with a smile.

"Then what about your family here, you already have a wife here"

The smile wiped off Thanatos face, he glared at the empty chair beside Clark.

"I told you, I don't acknowledge her!"

Clark laughed.

"I can't believe a girl has been married for five years... but still don't know who or what her husband looks like?"

"It's her fault for not refusing the marriage!"

"But you should at least go home and let her see you once.. she misses you, according to your mom"

Thanatos scoffed.

"You can't miss someone you haven't seen once"

"Oh? But she's seen your pictures"

"Save the crap!"

Clark laughed, he just finds Thanatos situation quite funny..

Thanatos pressed the intercom button and his assistant's voice came up.

"Yes, Mr O'Briens?"

"Make the appointment with Mike's kitchen today, we're going to Las Vegas to negotiate the acquisition!"

"Ok, sir"

Thanatos leaned on his chair and stared at the photo frame with a satisfied smile..

*Finally, I'll see you after five years!* He thought to himself.
