A black car followed by another two behind sped by the busy roads which were sparkling with different colors of lights. From the skyscrapers and the roadside screen for different advertisements and billboards. Aileen just silently stared outside the window, letting the wind hit her face and calm down the nervousness of her stomach. Her only wish was for this meeting to be successful, they had another minute of discussion about the clients and the investor they were going to meet. These people were shaken up after the scandal and some were trying to pull out, they were going to pursue them from changing their mind. They went through the documents again within the car before it turned all silent, both turned to their sides of the window thinking of what only God knows.

The man side eyed the woman sitting beside him, she just wore a formal long sleeve black dress but she looked breathtaking that he wished he could hold her, even for a minute, but he also knew that he has no right to. Wh

    She slowly made her way to where he was, "Uh…you are still awake?" She asked and almost wanted to slap herself for asking such stupid question. "Yeah, I can't get any sleep, you?" he replied, chugging down on his bottle. "Same thing" she replied, trying her best not to face him, she was looking everywhere else but at him, the stars, the moon, the starry night, the distant lights from afar and everything. He let out a sigh, "My family is probably going out of their mind by now, after the news" he pressed his forehead, his head hurts whenever he thinks of what explanation to give to them once he gets back. "Because of the scandal?" She asked but he shook his head to deny it. What could make them more angry than that right now? "You...didn't tell them about me, did you?" She didn't understand what he was implying. She has been working for him for months now and how possible it is for them not to know about her presence at their own company?. Alan nodded, she let out a tired sigh. God, i

  • Let's Start Over    The savior

    Aileen's POV A year ago back in South Africa, I had an opportunity to save a little girl's life. She was choking from something that got stuck in her throat and my motherly instincts couldn't let her pass out before my face. That little girl's family wasn't around so I had to help. Turns out that she was lost, and her parents were looking for her all over the zoo. That day I became a hero in the eyes of that little girl, her parents and everyone else who were around to witness the scene. The little girl's father was a Japanese man who swore to repay me for my kindness one day, no matter what the matter would be. And that man is none other than Mr Kenji, wow the world is too small indeed. I've never thought that we would ever cross paths again, but here we are sitting in the same room. "Hahaha,I can't believe this!" Mr Kenji and I shook hands as Alan and Rafael dumbfoundedly looked at our casual interaction. "I'm surprised!" I replied as the man shook hands with the rest of us, he th

    Early in the morning her phone rang, weakly searching for it under the covers and then she placed it over her ear. "Hello" her tone could tell how tired she was. "Hello gorgeous! How are you? How are things going there?" This charming voice made her smile. "Jemmy, at last you remembered me" she was alone fighting her demons and then dealing with this scandal matter and the trip with her cocky boss. This is the first time she was going to have a normal talk with her Jemima since everything took place, she was glad she called. "How do I forget a sexy single mother? I need your blessings after all, I want to look as sexy as you are after I give birth" this made her laugh, turning over to face the ceilings with one of her hands covering her face. "Last time we talked, you said you have no plans of having a baby at all because you are too lazy to care for it," she recalled. Jemima let out a loud laugh on the other side, "Still, there is no telling when such a thing could happen, given h

    With the help of their bodyguards they somehow fought through the crowd of reporters and paparazzi, a man then came to pick them up and took them directly to the venue. Aileen was glad they were already inside, she was getting anxious about the reporters out there, she wasn't used to such life, unlike the man bedside her. The hall was already crowded as well, different people from different business worlds were present, everybody wore as if they were attending a fashion event, all top notches as expected of the higher social life, always exaggerating. There were standing tables as well as the one to sit, a bar with a tremendous collection of wines. Alan took her to stand by one of the tables, his eyes never leaving her, searching for her eyes "I'm fine" she muttered, touched that he was concerned about her. "Good," he uttered and then stopped a maid for a drink. "Excuse me," he took two glasses and handed one to her. "I…I don't think I should be drinking" she opposed, she wanted to s

    A few hours later the party was coming to an end, since Alan had already gave Mr Taijo his anniversary gift, the two decided to leave before the chaos of the guests leaving begins. Being drunk didn't help both of them at all, the man kept recalling what happened between him and Aileen all the way home, his demeanor changed drastically, she could feel the coldness he was emitting at the moment. She dared not to speak even a word to ask him what happened to him in a spun of few minutes, they were having a casual talk just a few minutes ago but since they left the hall the man turned coldly quite. They arrived back at the house, walking side by side while the bodyguards were behind them. She was nervous, praying that she could reach her room quickly before this man explodes, he looked like he would anytime soon. The second they reached the door, he let her walk in and slammed it leaving Rafael and the rest of the bodyguards outside. Her body trembled as she stared at him, he was standin

    "How dare you throw away my phone?" She yelled at him, "I could buy you a new one!" He retorted, angered that she was even capable of thinking about her phone given their current situation, he could buy even ten of them if she wanted. "Let me go! It could be an important call" she was struggling to free herself from his tight grip. "Not before you listen to what I have to say, you need to listen to me!" Aileen shook her head "I don't want to hear anything, what happened in the past …I don't want to hear anything about it!" Alan's shoulders slumped, he threw his head back and started to laugh "Ah, it was so stupid of me to think that-" he halted and stared down at her "Your right, it was all in the past so it should just stay there. This is our present, I guess what I do wouldn't affect you at all since you now have nothing left for me" he leaned down and captured her mouth the second he finished his sentence, not even giving her a moment to process his words. He then pulled away and

    He couldn't believe that he was finally inside her and she was so tight that he could feel himself not lasting any longer. "Fuck baby! Relax a little bit please" he pleaded with his broken voice, he could feel every fiber of his body awakening, dancing to the pleasure of her warm walls around him. He pulled out and he was coming already, he held his manhood and cursed as he shot his cum on her bare core before him, just one stroke inside her and he was coming! He couldn't believe himself, he caught her staring at him with her lips between her teeth, this was all needed to make him hard again. He approached her again and held her tiny waist, and thrust in again this time they both cursed as her nails digged in his flesh, "Breathe, breathe sweetie, everything is good, just breathe and relax" he was coaxing her, "It's…it's too big" she complained biting on his shoulder as he kept thrusting deeper. "You can't blame me, I've been waiting for this moment for ages" he responded proudly. Yes

    Morning came, she flattered her eyes open, she was under his confine. His strong arm was holding her firmly against him as if she would disappear any minute. A wide smile formed on her face, she turned to face him, admiring his peaceful face, her own becoming red as she recalls what despicable things he did to her last night, he is a beast on bed she would have to admit that. She leaned forward and pecked his plump lips, they kissed endlessly. She blushed harder when he moved, praying he wouldn't wake up, he only grinned and continued to sleep. With a deep sigh, she was grateful that he hasn't woken up yet, she doesn't even know how to react before him after what they did, alcohol isn't water and they sure did prove that last night. She gently pulled herself from him and placed a pillow instead.With tip toes she exited the room and went downstairs, her womanhood feeling quite sore and her whole body was aching, she could only giggle and cover her face.

    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.

    “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

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.
