Chapter 3

Asa received an unexpected visit from her father. Ever since she caught her stepmom having sex with her ex husband, she had distanced herself completely from her family, however, she still communicate with her father seldomly and that's often because the old man is sick and had a stage 4 cancer. 

"Dad...why would you stress yourself to come to my place?" She understood her father's delicate health. 

After the old man had sat, he said weakly, "you wouldn't come to visit us, so I had to come." 

She sat before her dad and sighed, "dad, shall I get you something to eat?" Due to her dad's sickness, the man doesn't just eat any food. 

"It's been seven years since you divorce your ex husband, are you not going to ever marry again?" Her father asked. 

"Dad, I told you not to bother yourself about my marriage anymore. I'm happy as a single mother and that's all that matters." 

"Are you truly happy?" The man asked, "my dear, you know I always want the best for you?" 

"Yes dad, I know. But my marriage should be the least of what you would think about." 

"I made an agreement many years ago to hand your hand over in marriage to the first son of Biden's family. I must fulfil it now." Her father broke the news, looking deeply into her eyes. 

She scoffed, "dad, are you joking? I was already married, remember? Why didn't you bring this up then?" 

"Cause their son wasn't in the city now he's back and his family has written to me to fulfill my request. Asa, please do this for me." Her father pleaded. 

Now she understood why her father had come. Why would he make such arrangement? She wanted to express her dissatisfaction to him but she couldn't because of his health. 

"Dad, what if I refuse?" 

"You know my sickness will get worse cause of it. The doctors said if I stress myself too much, I will die faster." 

She siged angrily but couldn't express it, "okay...okay..." She said frustratingly. She didn't know how the so called Biden's first son looked like. But she has a plan, she would divorce him as soon as her father dies. 

"Thank you, my dear. I'm sure you won't regret it," the old man smiled. "Bring me my grandson, I have missed him." 

She smiled and stood then went to bring Alfred. The old man spent the whole day playing with Alfred after which he was driven home. 

The following morning, while taking Alfred to her car, as usual, she would drop Alfred in his school then she would go to work, but all of a sudden, an Hilux car drove roughly into the compound and some strange men got down. She knew these people meant harm, so she quickly grab her son in an attempt to run away. 

"You can run away but you better leave my son behind, "a familiar voice warned. When she looked up, she was stunned to see Oleg, her ex husband. Her guess was that he was here to forcefully claim a child that wasn't his. 

"Run!" She said to Alfred and they both began to run through the streets. She was holding Alfred in the hands of course, all of a sudden, she saw a car parked and it's booth opened so she quickly got inside the booth of the car with her son and closed the booth. 

At that same instant, the driver of the car drove away from the scene. The car eventually packed beside a building and the driver of the car stepped down to see who had dared to enter his car. 

Once the booth opened, Asa stepped out then helped Alfred out, "I'm so sorry, Mr... We were trying to escape from some kidnappers. Thanks so much for saving us." 

All these while, she was yet to look at the man's face. When she saw that the man was strangely quiet, she looked up at him and her heart skipped on seeing him. This man again? He was the man he had sex with seven years ago, he was also the man who came with his bride and his assistant to get a custom design from her company. 

Oh gosh! Why is fate bringing her to this man again and again. 

"This is just a coincidence, trust me." She pleaded. 

The man's icy face set on her demeaningly, he then set his eyes on Alfred, Alfred looked like a mini version of him. He wondered why Alfred had the same resemblance as him but he will look into that later. His concern was why he was meeting this woman again. 

"I'll take my leave now," she said. 

"Who says you can leave." His voice was like thunder, striking her heart ruthlessly. Yet, he was standing calm but he had a majestic aura. 

"Since I've saved you, you shouldn't have a problem making the custom design for my woman, yes?" He asked. 

Took a while before she spoke, "The custom design is personal, sir." She didn't even know why she was scared of him. Why was he not talking about their one night stand, did he truly not remember her? Well, in that case, it's better, at least, he won't be able to lay a claim over her son. 

"If we meet again by coincidence, you must make the design, agreed?" 

"I'm sure we will never meet again, sir but well, let's imagine we meet again, then I promise to make the custom design for your bride to be." She said. Then she held Alfred's hand, ready to leave.

"Have we met before, like some years back?" The question came to her as shock. Did he really not remember her face? 

"The first time I'll meet you was when you came to my office with your bride to be and then I'm meeting you now again, that's all I can remember," she said. 

He nodded and mumbled, "I hope we meet again. The custom design means everything to my fiancee." Then he turned and walked back to the driver's seat. Asa watched as he drove away. 

Did he have loss of memory or something? Or was he just faking it? Either way, she hoped he never remembers that they had a night stand seven years back. She took Alfred at once and walked away from the scene.
