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
************Aileen's POV The pitter-patter of a falling rain added to my grogginess, raindrops trickling down on the foggy windows of my father's car, the dark sky making people not want to go anywhere and just stay indoors for a whole day watching movies and chill. Muffled melody of an old song which was my mother's favourite was like a lullaby putting me back to sleep, I yawned covering my mouth. Just a daily routine, today I was on my way to college.Dad dropped mom off at her luxurious restaurant, she works as a manager there. "Bye darlings," she said, taking her umbrella with her. "Oh before I forget, I'll be home late too today Aileen, take care of yourself, OK?" She said pecking dad but the oldman held her back wanting more of their kiss.I could only hum in response and look outside the window as I was sitting at the back, those two are always like this, shameless. "I'm still here you two" I said to hear them chuckle, it's not like it was a big deal to me I was already 20 ye
********She went to the cafeteria after adjusting herself, not wanting any of them to know what transpired in the washroom. The boys were already by the counter waiting for our order, she just sat casually. "Hey take a look at this girl, ain't this just so cute?" Said Sunny, placing her phone before her, it was a satin dress."It is, you getting it?" She asked to see her shake her head "Uh uh, we're getting them Lee" said Sunny, making her speechless. Sunny was so into trends and wouldn't mind spending all of her money on shopping. "Look at them Celine, they feel like they own the world now to have both of the HB's (Handsome Boys) of the school wrapped around their fingers, mph!" Exclaimed a girl, she was sitting with her two other friends on a table of four eating their lunch. The so-called Celine drank her juice unhurried and then glared at Aileen. She was the reason why she can't be with Alan anymore! She waited for almost two years for them to break up but no! Seems like Aileen
*******Alan was already at so-called studio, his art studio to be specific, he is a very talented artist. He would come here whenever he feels bored and draw anything that comes to his mind. He doesn't sell his drawings though, his studio had a lot of drawings hanged by the walls and half of them are Aileens. He drew and spread them everywhere so he could see her everytime.He had just arranged a new canvas, brushes on a mini table and paints, ready to draw a new art when suddenly he heard a doorbell. "She is here" he said smiling voluntarily thinking that it was none other than Aileen at the door. He strode at the corridors to get the door.However, the moment he opened the door, his smile fell and it was replaced with a frown. "What the hell are you doing here?" He frowned at the person he least expected to come here tonight. Celine smiled innocently, "I was bored and went to your house but Auntie said you must be here" she said but the man was evidently not pleased with her pre
********"Alan" she called seductively, when he lifted his head he was confused to see a naked girl standing there. "Celine, What the hell did you do to me?" He shouted at her but his body was too weak to even move.He expected trouble from her prese today but he never thought she would be this troublesome, she just drugged him and is standing naked before him, he looked at her with detest. There was no way he would let this happen! She knew Aileen would be here that's why she came and set him up with her plan. Why the hell did he even let him in? No! What if Aileen gets here and sees her like this? "Shit!Fuck you Celine!" He cursed, feeling himself drowning into drowsiness. Celine ignored him and climbed the bed, throwing herself to him. Alan was trying his level best to push her away but then even energy felt like it was sipping out of his body, he wasn't able to move her away from himself. The drug was affecting him very hard and quickly. She dropped him down on the bed takin
*********When she opened her eyes, she was surprised to find herself within white four walls, with tubes connected to her wrist and the other end to the IV stand. Some other machines beeping, the sound of it echoing in the whole quiet room.I'm at the hospital? She said internally and tried to sit up, her head buzzed with pain making her groan "Goodness" she murmured pressing her forehead. Just when she was able to sit up, the door was pushed. Her mother was the first one to walk in followed by the nurse. "Mom" She muttered, her mother enveloped her to her arms with soft sobs."Oh my dear, you are finally awake. Thank you God" she said, rubbing her daughter's back who was crying in her arms."I'll go get the doctor," said the doctor after examining the IV stand,leaving the mother and daughter to unite."Mom, why are you crying? What happened to me?" She asked curious because from what she remembered was the accident at Alan's studio, but about how she ended up in the hospital she d
***********Alan felt like the whole world had tumbled down at him, his worst fear was to lose Aileen because she meant so much to him but it finally happened. "You did this on purpose didn't you? You knew Aileen was coming last night, right?" His face had all become red, he felt like snapping her throat into two."You are mine Alan, just because we broke up doesn't mean I've stopped loving you. That bitch came between us!" She felt a shiver running through her as he glared at her, but then she said what she wanted to say and did what she wanted to do anyway, she wouldn't mind taking up his rage now."Shut up! Shut that foul mouth of yours Celine! We broke up and I moved on with her, I don't love anybody but her so you better stop spouting nonsense, I'll be the one to explain this to her" he said, his last sentence was like he was trying to convince himself, he has to explain everything to Aileen before she take up any action on him. Celine laughed heartily at his words "Explain what
*************After noticing what he have done, Alan closed his eyes letting out a deep breath. "Look Lee, baby please I'm sorry, I didn't do this, I'm a victim here, Celine did all of this so as to get me back! She said so this morning so please believe me" he went closer to her, closing the gap between them. "This morning? So you had fun all night? Wow! You should go back to her then!" She pushed his hands off her in disgust.Alan was loosing it, he knows Aileen has the right to be this way but then was that how much she trusted him? Being together for years was nothing to her? What? To go back to Celine? Was she really the one saying those words?. He have never wronged her before and he would beg for forgiveness if it ever happens, he never gave her even a chance to complain so she should at least looked at that other side of him too before judging him! He was hurt! Extremely hurt that this is how far her trust for him could go.If it were him then he would've at least try to find

“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
