RUEThe night after discovering that Tysha was one of the teachers at Mason Academy, where Henry wanted to study, I found myself hesitating to proceed with enrolling my son in that school. The thought of having any connection to her again, after everything she put me through, made me uneasy."Are you sure you really want to transfer to this school?" I asked Henry repeatedly as we arrived at Mason Academy for enrollment.I wanted nothing more than to give my son the best education possible, even if it meant enrolling him in the most prestigious school. But I needed to be sure that it was what he truly wanted. His happiness and comfort were my top priorities, and I was prepared to make any necessary arrangements to ensure his well-being."Yes, Dad. I'm fine with here as long as my best friend is here," Henry replied, his words finalizing his decision.Damn. I guess his decision was final and I couldn't argue with that.We stepped out of the car and entered the bustling school grounds, f
TYSHAAfter witnessing Rue's glare and eye roll, I couldn't help but feel offended. Was he fucking serious?! After not seeing him for six years, that was how he chose to act? While I didn't anticipate him being overly friendly, I certainly didn't expect him to be that angry with me either. It truly put a damper on my day! I was so irked that I didn't even get the chance to roll my eyes. Damn! It was frustrating as hell! It felt like we were back to square one. This level of annoyance and anger between us reminded me of how we were when we first met. I couldn't shake the feeling of déjà vu."What happened?" Charles inquired, noticing the shift in my mood."Nothing," I replied dismissively, choosing not to mention that I had spotted my ex here at the school.Despite my attempt to brush it off, my heart continued to race as if I had just run a marathon.I nervously glanced at my kids, feeling a wave of relief wash over me. I was grateful that my genes were dominant, and that both of m
TYSHARight after Madelina told me the bad news, I couldn't stop overthinking about what could possibly happen. My mind raced with worry. Taking on my ex's son? That sounded like a disaster waiting to happen.I couldn't shake the feeling that Rue had some sort of hidden agenda in sending Henry to my class. What if he wanted to use his son to get back at me for our messy past? Just thinking about it made me feel sick to my stomach.If I agreed to this, I'd be walking right into a potential minefield of problems and awkward encounters. How on earth would I face Rue again after six years of not talking? I couldn't help but imagine the worst-case scenarios playing out in my head. What if Henry turned out to be just like his father? What if Rue used his power and influence to make my life a living nightmare?But then again, what choice did I have? Saying no to Madeline would only add more stress to her already overloaded plate. Mason Academy was already struggling financially, and angeri
RUECall me crazy but after receiving that eye roll from Tysha, instead of being irritated, it even turned me on. I found it kinda hot, especially since this was the first time I saw him wearing a teacher's uniform. Damn! She’s driving me crazy again. Always! Even after everything! “If you’ll excuse us,” Tysha said to me sarcastically with a hint of fakeness in her voice before she guided Henry inside the room. I licked my lower lip as my eyes glued to her. Sassy attitude. Curvy body and a big booty that was evident with her uniform. Perfect!Damn. I need to clean my mind. This needs to be corrected. I should be mad at her instead of longing for her. After I talked to my son, I watched him as Tysha assisted him inside their classroom. I tried to look for any hint of hatred in her eyes, but I found nothing.Indeed, she loved children. Even though, up until now, she was probably still thinking that Henry was my real son, there was no resentment in her hazel eyes whenever she looked
TYSHA“Good day, everyone. My name is Henry Colterzon. Nice to meet you all,” Henry uttered in front of my class. There was a hint of shyness in his voice but that was understandable since he was a newbie. I was pretty sure he would get used to his classmates after some time. All of my other students smiled at him, warmly welcoming him. “Okay then, Henry. Sit beside him please.” I ordered him to sit beside his best friend who was also a new transferee here in Mason Academy. It immediately put a genuine happiness on Henry’s face. Then, I started our Math class. Henry was a great student but there were some things he seemed to lack knowledge about. Maybe, it was because the curriculum here at Mason Academy was different from the school he came from. “Call dismissed. See you again tomorrow,” I announced after I gathered all the papers from my last class for the day. They all stood and greeted me back. “Thank you, Ma’am Tysha!” My students said altogether. I smiled at them before
RUEThe shock on Charles' face earlier was priceless. It was as if he had seen a ghost that was going to take revenge on him. I’d like to see more of that. I’d like to be the one haunting them. So, I purposely followed their car. Since luck seemed to be on my side, they seemed to plan on having lunch in a fancy restaurant near Mason Academy. Henry invited his best friend to come with us. Our original plan was to eat outside. Coincidentally, Tysha's family planned on doing so too. So, to annoy them further, I tailed them. Damn. The satisfaction I felt when Tysha started choking on her food after seeing me being assisted by the restaurant’s staff was the best. It seemed like she didn't expect she would see me here too. Charles extended a glass of water to her.As we settled in at the adjacent table to Tysha's family, Henry also noticed their presence.“Dad, look. It’s Ma’am Tysha,” Henry exclaimed, pointing at them.“Yeah,” I acknowledged.He then asked for my approval.“Should I g
TYSHA“Charles.” I halted on my way out of the restroom when I saw Charles waiting outside.I just excused myself for a moment to do a bathroom break and I didn’t expect him to follow me. “You left the kids?” I asked him. "I just wanted to talk to you alone," he replied, his tone serious, capturing my full attention.Frowning slightly, I asked, "What's going on?" His uncharacteristically somber expression was concerning, devoid of its usual lightheartedness.“Did you know that Addison already met Rue?” he asked. Oh… that? To be honest, I didn’t expect that too. God knew how my heart raced so fast when I saw my daughter waving at her real father. It scared me that they would know the truth even before I told them myself. Even before I was ready to tell them everything. “No,” I answered to Charles’ question. “That’s why I was shocked to the core when I saw her waving at Rue.” Relief washed over his face, and I could sense his tension easing. Perhaps he had feared that I had dis
TYSHA"Ma'am Tysha."Rue and I were interrupted by the sound of someone calling my name. It was my co-teacher, Rupert, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand. I felt a sinking feeling in my stomach as I already had a suspicion about who the flowers were for."Sir Rupert," I greeted him back as he approached, stopping right beside Rue and me. With a knowing look, he handed me the flowers."Here. Happy Mother's Day," he said with a smile.Among my colleagues, Rupert was the only one who never forgot to give me flowers on special occasions. And it wasn't lost on anyone that he only did it for me. Speculation among our other co-teachers was rife, with many suspecting there might be something more between us. To be honest, I couldn't help but entertain the thought myself. It was hard not to, considering the obvious attention he paid to me.Not wanting to be impolite, I graciously accepted Rupert's gift."Thank you so much. These flowers are beautiful," I expressed my gratitude as I held
