REINAHe was right. I would not joke with issues that concern my child for anything.Thinking about Andrew, my son and seeing him makes me think that Ethan was right here with us. The bog was just a replica of him and I am sure that he may have a heart attack when he sees that this boy resembles him so much.I didn't know what to do about it. Out of guilt, I left my room and went to see him where he was being creative in his playroom.“My baby,” I called him and as soon as he heard my voice. He jumped up happily and abandoned everything he was doing to hug me.I lifted him up and played with his hair.“I have missed you, my baby. You know that right?” I asked him as I brightened him down.“I know, mum. Remember, you promised to take me out next weekend. Hope you will be available for that?” he asked and I chuckled.To be sincere, I had forgotten that I had promised him such a thing. I was a terrible mum, I agree.“I will definitely be available to take you out and we will have all you
REINAThe time I had to sort things out was not enough for me. Come tomrhjnk if it. My son's nanny asked me an important question. When was I going to tell Ethan that I was in possession of his child?It was so scary to think of and I don't think I am emotionally ready to take that step. “No, no. I don't think I am that courageous,” I soliloquized.I didn't know when my eyes which were once wide open shut slowly as before I knew it, I was already dozing off in the living room.I was woken up by the loud ringtone from my phone.“An unknown number?” I asked myself as I stared at the phone.Who could this be? I just finished a long conversation with Bruce over the phone. I really hope it's not one of my staff from work. I already told them that we would resume work next week.Why are they so eager to work? I complained before answering the call. It was when my phone rang for the second time that I answered the call.“Hey, bitch!” That was the first thing I heard when I answered the c
ETHANReina calling me to come over was very weird. I never expected her for one day to send me her address, expecting me to drive down to her house. The key word in what she said was “urgent”. She claimed that it was very urgent and I needed to be there.I have already given her my words, if I didn't, I would have turned her down. I slammed my laptop on my desk and made to leave the office.While I was on my way to her place, my phone rang and it was an unknown number.“Seriously? Haven't I gotten many calls already?” I asked.After much hesitation, I answered the call and the voice I heard gave me the greatest shock of my life.“Hi, Ethan. It's your wife on the line. I know you didn't miss me but, can we see?” she asked.“I'm afraid not. Is it something of great importance?” I asked as I focused my eyes on the road as I drove down.Making calls while driving was wrong and I didn't know how I entertained that with Ravenna on the line.“It is. It's about Reina and your child. I need
ETHANI could sense that Reina was not comfortable as she sat far from me. I had to prepare my mind for whatever was coming towards me.“Work is fine. My company hasn't recovered from the tremendous work you did with that Triple A project. We have been making so much profit ever since. I am working really hard to maintain it,” I answered.“That's lovely. But, remember that there is always profit and loss. When you lose, don't beat yourself up. It's normal. You just have to make up for the losses,” she advised.“I'm aware of all that. Thank you.”That advice was totally unsolicited. It was obvious that she was using all that to buy time. I would not blame her. Whatever was bothering her may be too difficult to let out and she probably does not have a good way to start talking.“Well, I invited you here because I felt it was time for me to tell you the truth,” she started off.I glanced at her and she buried her head in her hands. My heart began to greatly against my chest as I waited
ETHAN “Did you just say the child of this son is Bruce?” I asked her and she nodded, repeating the same words that she said earlier.I stared at this young boy in front of me and there was no way he looked like Bruce. He got my same exact features. The shape of my nose and the shape of my head. The completion too, everything was all the same. “Are you telling me the truth, Reina?” I asked, still in doubt and she reaffirmed that she was saying the truth. “He's Bruce's son. I really don't want to talk about all of these in his presence. He is too young but, what I told you is true.” The young boy stared blankly in our midst. I bet what must be going through his mind was what exactly was going on and why was this strange man having a conversation with his mother.This was more than I could handle even as an adult and I doubt if this young boy could handle this in any way. He was not emotionally strong. “I will take your word for it, Reina. But, have this at the back of your mind. I
“Out of wedlock? Was that what she said?” she inquired. “Yes. That was all she said.” “I know that you trust her too much, that your trust for her has blinded your eyes, that you can't see that this lady is lying to you.” “What do you mean?” “Looks Ethan. I called you here to inform you that the child you saw in Reina's house is your child. She is scared of what I can do, that is why she lies like this,” Ravenna revealed. “I am tired of all these games, to be honest. How am I supposed to know that you are also telling me the truth and not a lie?” I asked her. Ravenna was not the person that I could trust. She was not clean either. She has done a lot of things in the past that makes me question whatever comes out from her mouth. “I believe that things would be easier since you said you saw the child. You don't need any DNA, that child is your replica. I have seen his picture before and all I saw was you, Ethan. Think, Ethan. Think!” My stomach growled in anger. I knew
ETHANThe year of desperation could be heard clearly in her voice and that made me disgusted. I knew I made a mistake coming for Ravenna but, why can't she leave?Why on earth has she sworn to be tied to me forever?“Like I said, nothing like feelings, like emotions or relationships or marriage. I am on a break,” I reminded her.“You are a clown. You know the truth deep down and you want to get rid of me. I won't let that happen. We are already in this together and we will continue in this. I do not care.”When they said that you should never allow a woman to take control or have an upper hand, they were right. It was how I clearly saw everything playing out.I didn't know when Ravenna moved closer to me and I scowled as she took my finger and pushed it deep into her mouth. “Fucking hell. What are you doing? Are you out of your mind or have you lost it?” I asked, pushing her away from me. “Allow me to express myself. I have a lot that I can do to you to spice up our sex life in this
The tension in the environment tightened at the base of my spine. Fuck, if I do not do this with her right now. I may lose it.“I know what you want, Ravenna. But, it's crazy to do that here.”She jerked her chin and tilted her head at her remark and asked, “What do you mean?""You don't have to pretend. You want to do this, it's alright because I am your husband and I am meant to perform my marital duties.”Ravenna laughed at my statement before boring her eyes into mine. “I see. I know you want to do this tio but your conscience doesn't permit you. Well, blame it on me. Say that I, your wife, forced you into doing this. You can use me as your excuse to get whatever you want. For now, I think we would need a room where there is only me and you. Mine you, it's been long since I had an orgasm and this orgasm is begging for a release. If I were you, I would allow myself to enjoy my husband.”“Hmmm…”So many words ran out of her mouth at the same time. I knew she wanted me. I was cool
