On Charles' side of the world...
Charles is sitting down on the bench facing the sea. Beside him are bottles of brandy. After his dramatic encounter with his son, he was totally affected by Chastity's reaction so he decided to spend some days on the island where his villa is located. It is really far from Fwiji but he doesn't mind. He just needs a breathing space, and this is the safest one.
"Charles?" Sam's voice came from his back.
"Sam..." Charles said without turning back. "I saw him... I finally met my son..." his voice is filled with mixed sadness and pain. "Do you know how it feels to hold him after years of longing but you know you cannot own him totally? He was there, Sam. He was so happy to meet his father..." At this point, his voice broke.
Sam
