Aileen on the other hand was being dragged by her boss, no matter how hard she tried to pull out her hand she couldn't succeed. The grip was so tight that she wondered how the man was holding his girlfriend with such a tight grip, except it is not Tiffany but her. She knew from the moment he held her and start to walk away with her that it was a mistake. He must've wanted to pull Tiffany but then since they were standing not far from each other, he took her hand instead without even taking a look. Goddamnit! She cursed for being caught up in such a stupid situation. And this man was walking too fast that she had to jog so as to match his pace, he wasn't even turning back so he could at least see that it was her and stop. He only stopped when they reached his jet, "Tiffany, you need to stop being…" before he could go on he paused, shocked by what he saw. He quickly let go of Aileen's hand which she quickly held and massaged from the pain. "You? How are you with me?" He blurted taking a
Aileen reached the vacation house in a few hours, everybody was nowhere to be seen still. She got in with a single push of the sliding door, the big luxurious house was all quite, the ceilings were too high and decorated with multiple chandeliers, walls painted white and so were the couches and other furnitures in the sitting room, making it look like a house of some modern neat freaks. One would even feel hostile to move around the house with a fear of ruining the blinding white color, well it was all she found at the last minute and now she only hopes that her super duper annoying boss would like it, what an irony that she has to wish for him to do. "Mrs Fletchers, you're here" came a familiar voice from the stairs, she got up from the couch. "Yup, sorry that I dozed off. He didn't vent much to it, right?" She asked, narrowing her eyes, waiting for the worst feedback. Well, working for him has made her think of the worst to happen anytime, so she has to prepare herself, both physica
The table was so wide and full, everyone was eating and chatting with each other. There were a variety of dishes on the table, so much like a feast, people couldn't stop praising their boss for taking them out for this vacation. They also complimented Aileen for having such good taste in the picking of the place. Aileen thanked everyone and was glad that they loved the place, however unlike her…. their boss just nodded. She sat alongside Jemima, the girl was such a chatterbox and fun to be around with, she was telling her about her ex Alex, who happened to be on this vacation as well, sitting on the other hand, glancing at their direction at times. "So that fool, he called me yesterday asking for forgiveness! Huh! I couldn't believe it."Aileen drank her juice before talking "And you're back together now?" She asked, Jemima scoffed "No way! I'm not taking that bitch back, I would rather go blind than do that!" She mumbled in a low voice so as to not attract others to their little gir
"Unless you don't want to eat what your love…has cooked" she added to clear out the air, Tiffany isn't aware of their past so she must've surprised her by talking to Alan casually when he was the boss. Tiffany chuckled, she couldn't believe her level of boldness. Who talks like that to their bosses? "Wow, she must still be angry to lose the game" she said breaking their closeness, "Trust me, I. Am. Not" she replied, showing her the way out. Tiffany sighed "Fine, I understand. I'll leave you two then, I can't wait to eat what you'll cook honey" she pecked his lips before exiting the kitchen. Aileen went to shut the door and lock it, she then turned to him "You!" She said raising a knife on her hand, Alan gulped as he watched her walking to him with her deadly look, that knife though was making his heart pound, she looked so damn scary. Did he do too much? He took a step back whenever she took one forward until he was trapped with nowhere to go, she stopped when she was standing righ
Alan's POV No matter how hard I tried to translate my actions the answer is always the same, exactly what I don't like to hear. I feel like laughing at how miserable I have become, I have no shame left in me so I do whatever I feel like to with her. I know I'm wrong but then I can't help it either, she is the reason why I react irrationally, If only she knew!. Turns out Dr.Caleb was right after all, she was the cause of my dilemma and she was also the only key to healing me. I've proved that to myself today when I offered to help her with the bowl. The moment my hand touched her, I had all the hairs of my body stand up, and it wasn't the only thing that stood up but even the important organ that differentiated our sexs. It was so hard that I feared I might do something crazy right there and then, the craziest part is that she wasn't even aware of how provocative her body was to me nowadays. I knew what I was doing was wrong and that I had to stop but I didn't. I couldn't! I tried bu
While they were cooking dinner, the others went to swim at the beach. Later on everybody returned and took a shower before settling outside. It was already night, a bonfire was in the middle as they sat in a circle, there were even chairs for them to sit on. Drinks were brought out along with some snacks and the dinner which the two of them cooked. It was Aileen's idea to eat dinner by the bonfire tonight, with teamwork they finally settled the environment just like how she imagined it. They sat chatting about different things, Tiffany sharing a place with his boyfriend while Aileen sat across from them, seeing every single thing they were doing, she would force herself not to look at times but then her eyes were watching anyway. Then everybody got up and went to serve themselves dinner. There were two men who were there to clean the house whenever they retired from any of their activities. With their help Aileen was able to set a buffet and the whole bonfire thing for the night afte
Aileen's POV The next day the two of us had to wake up early and prepare breakfast. Actually I was the one who woke up first and went to knock on his door so that we could start serving their punishment. Seems like, just like me he too has decided to forget about the issue, he helped me make sandwiches and toasts silently and then we made tea as well before setting everything on the table. I can't believe we both have become servants now for all these people who were still sleeping their a** in their rooms. He was the source of all of this! He was!. However, I was grateful that he didn't pick any tricks or his shameless acts today. It was simply peaceful. I wish for everyday to be like today with him in the kitchen. We all ate breakfast, I noticed the tension between the two of them. Did they have another fight? I asked myself and then brushed off the thoughts, it was none of my damn business even if they kill each other. Later on we decided to go to swim, Alan took his girlfriend
Alan's POV I can't tell exactly what came over me last night, but I can guess that it was my jealousy that drove me to kiss her, even if it was only on the corner of her lips. The joy that I got just from that simple act was so great, I can't explain. And the craziest part was that I was doing things without a care, it's like something inside of me was pushing me to do it, I wasn't even afraid that anybody could come and see us like that. Or then the possibility of what could happen if Tiffany saw us. At this rate I can't even tell if I had any fear left inside of me, I was becoming even more unbothered by the day.Rafael was only looking out for me and Aileen, I know that but then I can't help it! Whenever I'm together with her, I can't help it, everything that happens on their own and I can't control them. I even forgot that I had promised Tiffany to go back to her. I hate what was happening for real, I wanted to have control of myself again but it's impossible with Aileen in my li
That day, the two went to pick up the boy only to find out that he was already picked up by his aunt. Shocked, they started to make a few calls only to find out that it was no other but Rue. She picked the boy and took her to Aileen’s house already, left with no choice Alan gave her a ride there. They found her very engrossed in a conversation with Sharon that it left them wondering what they were talking about by the convenient store. Alan stopped the car and made a honk to call for them. Not too shocked they both got in his car, heading to the house. The little boy was happy to see his parents again. “I want you to inform me next time if you are planning to take my son anywhere, Rue. People are messy out there, you can't keep us worried all the time” complained Alan after seeing off the family. “Shut it already, he is my nephew. Stop overreacting, dad!” she brushed him off. “I fucking mean it Rue. And what the hell were you talking to Sharon about? You know that I don't trust you, d
“Will you calm down first, little brother?. It wasn't me who made this decision, it was our dear father and mother, you should lash out at them and not me, do you get it?” siad Rue, she wasn't going to tell him what the whole family was up to, never. He should just sit back and let them take care of his future now because he seemed too confused to even date someone like Tiffany. “Not even you Rue, please! He is my son, don't you understand? Do you people know how much danger you have gotten my son and his mother into? Do you know how many enemies I've made out there?” He was very angry that he wasn't informed about the matter that concerned his own son's life. He should've been informed about it, he would've made preparations about it. There was media to deal with, there were the board members to inform and secure the formalities about their relationship to them and there is a damn society who are always ready to pick and judge things even without knowing anything about it. With the
“Here, he sent me this text this evening. Read it” he lost the phone to her parents and then they passed it over to Neil and Kylie. “Oh my god, that poor boy,” said their mother. “Right. How could I respond when my six years old nephew asks me such a question? I was speechless and didn't even know how to explain things to that smart little guy. Thus why this meeting is important” explained Rue.“He literally asked why his parents aren't living together like the rest of the children at school. He probably talked to classmates about their families and was very disturbed to realize that his parents are the only ones who aren't living together. This isn't good for his poor little mind” she added. “He is just a young boy who deserves more than to be raised by both of them.” she promised to get to the bottom of this, it really disturbed her when the boy told her about it.“So what do you suggest we do?” Asked Neil. “There is only one way, we have to get them back together so that they can
Leelan was happy to have his daddy over, they played a little before taking him to sleep, the two of them did. When he came out he spotted Sharon with two cups of coffee “Here, it's been a while, have a seat” she said. Aileen was still tucking her son well and making sure he didn't wake up because he couldn't feel her warmth. Alan sat down, gripping the cup, not even knowing how to look at her. “How is everything? I am sorry for your loss” He asked. “Thank you, things are going well. How is your family doing?” Sharon noticed how uncomfortable the man was. “They are doing well, they send their condolences actually” he answered. Sharon got up “Come here” she said. Alan was dumbfounded but he too stood up. Sharon hugged him, “I am sorry for everything that has happened to you my dear,” awestruck by what just happened, the man stood still, letting the woman embrace him. His eyebrows knitted together, it took all in him not to shatter right there and cry like a baby. He never knew that th
Aileen glared at him, she then scoffed “Why do you care who I talk to?” She asked. “I want to know,” he demanded. “And who the hell are you to say that? Wait a minute, are you jealous?” She was surprised, getting angry little by little at their current conversation. “I asked who were you texting, Aileen?” He somehow wanted to know at all cost, even if it was not his place to know. “Wow! This is very funny now.” Aileen shook her head with laughter. “I don't freaking ask a thing about you and your Tiffany! Why are you so curious about my life? What happened to not interfere with our personal lives?” she paused watching him stare at her. “Does she even know that you have a son with me?” She asked the most important question, it was bugging her this whole time. “That's between me and Tiffany” he responded, fuming. “Right! Then this conversation is fucking over!” She just doesn't understand him at all. What was wrong with this man?.“It is not until I say so” he uttered and then snatched t
The next morning, they took the boy to school as usual before heading to the office. The car parked at the parking lot, where other employees were also parking their cars. “Don't you think coming to work together like this might cause unnecessary drama for both of us? I should've taken a taxi or an Uber.” she aired her worries. People have already begun to look at her differently since the day she was told to give her opinions on the meeting last time. It was an important project, she had to be an important person to their boss to give her opinions like that and they were actually executed. People have started to think of it that way, forgetting that she was also an employee who had the right to do so just like them. What are these people going to say the moment they find out that the two of them actually had a thing in the past and the fruit of it is their little boy?. Her head was aching at that thought. “Oh, should I take you back then so you can call your Uber?” He teased, placin
In the evening they had to leave and head back to Alan's house. They talked about it and thought of spending two nights at his house every week, starting with this week. Aileen had no argument for this since she would be going along with her son or else she would be going crazy with uneasiness of being far from her son, even for two nights. Leelan received a lot of gifts when she left his grandparent's house, Aileen wondered when did they get the time to prepare for everything. But then she answered herself, it was a rich people thing to get things done with only a snap, she witnessed a lot already from working with Alan for over half a year now. What gave her a headache was where were they going to keep all of those gifts at. Because those things were definitely not going to her house, uh uh it's not happening ….her house would be flooding with toys at this rate.When they arrived at his house, all the boy was talking about was their visit to his grandparents as if they weren't toget
“You did a great job raising him Aileen, he is so respectful and composed for his age” complimented the old man. “Thank you for not giving him up and keep him until today, you were brave” he added. Aileen blinked her tears, responding with her forced smile. She felt like crying aloud, brave wasn't something she expected to hear from him at all. “Yes, thank you very much. It must have been hard for you” Claimed the old woman, although her face was saying something else. Was she angry at me? Because she wasn't even trying to hide it whenever she glances her way. God please! She thought. “Thank you too” she replied, trying as hard as she could to keep her composure. She really doesn't need to be thanked for raising her own son for all these years, because she was going to do it all over again if she was asked to. That accident might have been her biggest failure but she doesn't regret having Leelan, he was the reason why she kept living. He practically saved her life and gave her a purp
Aileen's POV On the way, I was quietly looking outside the window while the father and son were playing. I can't lie, I was so scared to face his family after what happened between us. I ….I just can't get past the fact that they all tried to pursue me back then and all i remember doing was casting them aside. They all tried but I treated them badly that day, and to think that it wasn't even his fault to begin with made it even more hard for me. That was the biggest error I have ever made in my life, my life took a big turn since that accident and it was all for some lies, deceit!. “God, please forgive me” I sighed, rubbing my chest. Alan must have noticed my troubled face, he held my shoulder “Nervous?” He asked. I let out rashly “No! Why would I be?” He pulled back his hand, “Should I give you a mirror then?” My eyes widened. “Is it that obvious?” I thought I was good at hiding emotions until this man proved me wrong. “Very, it's all over your face. But there is nothing to worry
