[Matilda]

"I know he likes me," I kept whispering to myself as I walked into the company heading straight to the receptionist

My heart slammed against my chest loud and heavy with every step I took toward her. My fingers curled tighter around my purse as I walked closer to the woman seated behind the desk, eyes glued to her laptop

"Hi," I greeted softly.

Her eyes shifted from the laptop in front of her to mine

Her eyes met mine and she stared at me from head to toe, pressing her lips into a thin line before parting slightly— almost like she was sizing me up

"I'm sorry can you hear me?" I called out softly.

She blinked and stared even harder, her lips curling into a seductive smile. Why the hell is she looking at me like that?

"I'm here to...to see Mr Kaden Donovan," I mumbled softly but the lady in front of me wouldn't stop ogling

"Okay!" She finally chirped, her gaze still not moving from my boobs. Seriously?

"Please can I see him, I mean I'm here to see him,"

"Sure, why not, he's

    [Matilda]"I...is...I mean, don't you recognize me?" The words tumbled out, my heart twisting with dread the second they did as I locked eyes with the man seated in front of meHe raised a brow, scanning me from head to toe. My jaw clenched, my heart twisting in pain as I tried to make out any sign of recognition in his eyes but I couldn't see anyDid I come this far to make a fool of myself? "Are you going to state what you're doing right here or get the hell out of my office," he snapped making my fist clench into a tight ball. My eyes shifted from his cold face lowering to the groundIs he pretending not to know me or is he being serious?'You can't back down now,' my inner voice taunted. I bit down on my lower lip before staring back at him"Sir, it's me, Matilda, I... you...I mean," I trailed off, my nail digging deep into my palm as I failed to make out a complete sentence. "I'm the one that attends to you at the lounge where you visit every Saturday, I mean you asked me for my

    [Matilda]Tears rolled down my eyes nonstop as I walked in nowhere in particular. Kaden's words couldn't stop echoing all over my ear."Ordinary waitress like you," The world slammed into my ear nonstop. My hand tightened around my purse as I felt the first drop of water in my faceI knew it was about to rain, I should be doing everything possible to walk fast and get home or find shelter but I couldn't walk faster than I was already doing! My heart clenched as I tried to picture what could have happened if I wasn't the way I wasI could tell that if I had come from a rich background like him, he wouldn't have talked to me in that manner, if my late parents were freaking rich, I would at least be respected. I wouldn't be referred to as an ordinary waitress who dresses in rags and barely changes shoesI stiffened back as another drop landed on my hand and then another and another and before I knew it, the rain started pouring making my heart twist in painI could feel my phone vibratin

    [Matilda]"Why are you talking to me old man," I mumbled. My lips stretched into a big smile as I stared into his silver eyesWhy does he look like that asshole that called me an ordinary waitress? Am I beginning to see things now? Does everyone now look like him"You're getting drunk," The old man pulled my hand away from his cheek. I giggled grabbing his hand back and squeezing it tight"Why is your hand so warm," I mumbled, my lips still stretching into a big smile even though I had no idea why I was suddenly smiling so much"Sir the car is ready," My eyes shifted as a tall man walked over to where the old man was standing"I'll be right out, you can leave!" The old man said and turned back staring at me. His eyes shifted from my eyes and I could see how he stared at my boobs, licking his lower lips"What are you looking at?" I pulled his hand off, pouting my lips. I turned back to the barman who stood still with his hand behind him and his head bent low. "Give me more drinks you

    [Matilda] "Oh my God," My hand flew to my mouth, my eyes wide open. "What have you done to me?" I screamed, dread sinking its claws Into every part of me The man in front of me chuckled, his eyes roaming over my body. Slowly he took a few steps toward me until he was standing right in front of me "What do you mean by what I did Pretty? What do you think should happen if a man and a woman are alone at night especially when the woman took all her clothes off?" My heart skipped I stared down at my body, my eyes darting around looking for any sign of blood but there wasn't. If he had taken my virginity I would know that he did it right? "Don't think much about it, sweetheart," His voice pulled me out of my thoughts, as he stretched his hand to my face, touching my cheek. "I don't enjoy it when the other party Is unconscious or drunk so nothing of that sort happened but that doesn't mean it won't be happening now," He mumbled, licking his lower lip and plopping down on the bed I fist

    [Matilda]"Fuck," I cursed, trying to open my eyes. A sharp throb hit me like lightning, forcing them to shut again. I took a shaky deep breath and tried again. This time, my eyes blinked open, slowly adjusting to the harsh brightness"You're awake," A deep familiar voice rang out making my brows knit together. I quickly turned in the direction of the voice and for the next few seconds I felt my heart throb so hard in my chest as I came face to face with the same old man from two weeks backHow? What the hell am I doing here? I bit down on my lower lip, my eyes darting around as I tried to make sense of where I was but it seemed new. It didn't look like the same place I had woken up from two weeks agoMy eyes shifted only to notice that I was lying down on a couch and the man speaking to me was seated on the desk across from me, with his two hands resting calmly on it, eyes locked dead on mineCringeI tried to remember how I ended up here but the more I pushed, the harder my head thr

Nothing came out. I bit my lower lip hard, locking eyes with him as he swept his gaze over me like I was filth. His fists clenched at his sides."Kaden, sit down," Mr. Black’s voice cut through the tension. I let out a shaky breath I didn’t realize I was holding as Kaden finally looked away from me to glare at his father."Dad, what the hell is going on here? Why did you even call me?" Kaden barked, unmoving.Mr. Black turned his attention to me. "Where do you know my little pretty from?" he asked casually as if this wasn’t the most awkward, messed-up situation ever.Kaden’s head snapped to me, his face twisting. "Your... your little pretty?" he growled. "Can someone tell me what the actual fuck is going on?""Sit down," Mr. Black said firmly. "That’s the only way I’ll talk. And you—come sit h

I knew I was going to start looking for a lawyer as soon as possible because this was a battle I wasn't ready to lose"I have a friend who is a very good lawyer, I will contact him. when is the first hearing," Leo asked and I pulled out my phone and unlocked it. I tapped on the email I had gotten from the lawyer and handed it over to Leo to take a lookI watched as his eyes swept over the phone, his jaw clenching hard as he read the words before handing me back my phoneHis lips curled into a smirk as he muttered inaudible words before turning back to me"We're in this together Tesoro.

She can't lose, it's not even an option," Leo said firmly beside meSage turned to Leo before turning his attention back to mine."You have the documents I requested for?" He asked and I nodded, pulling out the file I had in my handLeo had told me earlier that he requested some of the kid's documents, their birth certificate and school enrollment with medical recordsI stretched out the file towards him and he gave a firm nod, before pulling out the contents and going through them one after the other"I'll have them photocopied right away," He mumbled and placed a call before the lady we met earlier walked in and took the file from him after he gave her instructions on what to do"So let me understand what we are fighting for exactly," Sage said turning his attention back to mine.

    [Matilda]The elevator doors slid open with a soft chime, and I stepped out, trying to steady the erratic pounding of my heart. Leo walked beside me, offering no words just the usual calm demeanor of hisThe hallway to the lawyer's office who Leo said his name was Sage, was quiet. Only the soft tap of our footsteps echoed off the walls. I took a deep breath as we stopped at a sleek, modern receptionist desk. The young woman behind it greeted us with a polite smile"Is Sage in?" Leo's voice boomed out behind me. The lady stared at him and I didn't miss the way her face flushed before she cleared her throats"Do you have an appointment with him?""Yes, Leo Smith," Leo said calmly, his eyes shifting towards me as he flashed me a smile before returning his eyes to the lady who suddenly had her fingers dancing across her keyboard"Mr Lawson has been expecting you, this way please," the lady walked out, taking us straight to the office without delay.

    [Matilda]"Mommy, are you okay?" Aiden's little voice pulled me out of my swirling thoughts. I took a steadying breath, forcing a smile as I gave him a nod.That smile did nothing to hide the worry etched across my face. It’s been two days since Leo and I settled things, and he told me we'd be meeting with the lawyer tomorrow. My heart thudded with every passing minute, especially knowing the first hearing in court was just a week away.My mind was a tangled mess. I glanced at Austin and Aiden, both absorbed in their iPads.I don't know what would happen during the custody battle. What if Kaden wins? How am I then going to explain who he is to my kids?No...hell no...he can't, impossible, Kaden would never win"Yes! I won!" Austin’s voice broke through my thoughts. He dropped his iPad, jumped up from the bed, and did his usual happy dance. I looked at Aiden, who was watching him with his pouted lipsI bit my bottom lip, glancing back and forth between them. My boys. My whole world. I’
