They reached the place, the driver had suggested a market, where they could buy some cultural stuff of this island if they wanted. They all agreed, Aileen had long pulled her hand away once the man was fully asleep, glad that nobody saw them. Alan acted as if he didn't do anything, as usual once she woke him up. This man and his behavior of doing things and then switch himself off like he wasn't the one doing it was getting on her nerves. They all alighted the van and we're escorted by the driver, looks like he would be their tour guider as well now. The man took them to the market, it wasn't as hectic as they all thought. It was quite as if a public museum, with only few people looking around from one stall to another, so peaceful. They parted ways with every one of them hurrying to stall that has catched their attentions. Aileen and Jemima went to a stall that had accessories, cultured bracelets, necklaces, rings, anklets, waist beads and much more. Made of different things ornaments

    They reached back home in the evening and everybody went to rest in their respective rooms. Few of them went out to swim in the evening while she just stood by the balcony watching the sunset. Since that drowning accident she doesn't ever feel like swimming, that was still dancing in her head. She then looked down at the necklace that she has brought today, the stars and the moon. It was beautiful, she smiled while touching it. Her smile faltered when she remembered the one that Alan took. What was heaven trying to do? Or was it just nothing but a coincidence?. She sighed holding the reelings of the balcony, with a sigh she went to sit back and pulled out her phone from her pocket. It was the time she spoke to her family and told them about the trip being canceled. She spoke to them through a video call, her eyes became blurry the moment she sighted her son, squeezed between her mother and her befriend on a couch. She really missed him so much, they spoke a lot and for a while. Leelan

    Aileen was awed at his reaction, her eyes faltered for a minute and almost fell for his concerned look, she was having those weird emotions again. However, she quickly recovered from her reverie and pulled away her hand from his grip, "It's nothing, stop overreacting" she said firmly, she held in the pain from the stinging by pressing her lips tightly, her head lowered down. Alan's eyes darkened, he held her hand again and showed it to her face, her wrist already had a red line swelling from the burn. "You call this…. nothing? Are you insane, leeny!" He shouted at her, her body shook, she lifted her head staring at him with her wide eyes. Her heart was pounding on her chest, what surprised her wasn't the shouts he made but the name he used. When was the last time she heard him call her like that? Years ago, and today he thought of using it and shocked her to the core. Why did she like the sound of it? He doesn't even seem to notice what he said himself. Her eyes began to sting, little

    She was falling backwards, but before her body could touch the floor a strong arm circled around her waist, she was flipped over the next second only to land down along with him, she was on top of him. The fall was quite harsh earning a groan from the man, he frowned deeply feeling his back aching. Alan had only wanted to help her out but ended up slipping on the floor as well and fell along with her. A moment of silence passed, then slowly Aileen lifted her face which was buried in his chest, her panicking eyes peeked at him. She blinked when she found him looking at her as well, "I'm sorry, are you okay sir?" Her voice had so much concern for him that for a moment he was reminded of their past, in such situations. He shut his eyes and let out a deep breath, deep down he was grateful that she wasn't hurt. Why did he feel that way? He really hates how he feels sometimes because he gets confused with himself. He opened his eyes again and she was still looking at him with the same emot

    Everybody joined the table for dinner except for Aileen, Alan's eyes searched around for her but she wasn't around. He knew why she was acting this way, she was avoiding him and he also thinks that was for the best. The more she stays away from him the more his mind would stay in control. After dinner, everyone returned to their rooms, resting early was the best option for now since they are living tomorrow morning. Alan stared at her door when he was on his way to his room, he told himself not to mind if she had eaten or not, she wasn't a child and he was going to mind his own business. Tiffany jumped on him the moment they entered their room, kissing his neck up to his jaws. "I missed you, my love" with a sigh Alan got her off him, the hurt in her eyes was evident but he wasn't in the right state of mind to do any of this. "Not now, please" he went to the closet to change into his pajamas.Tiffany followed him to change as well, she had a deep frown "Why?" She asked, rummaging thro

    "Come on Lily, don't taste my patience anymore!" Why can't she just spit the name already? What was stopping her now when she was the one who called for her? "Ah…. you see… since I'm about to tell you a very important matter concerning my very own boss, so… what I'm trying to say is… this might get me into trouble, lose my job even if the boss finds out… so… don't you think I deserve something to assure my future and that of my children if that happens?" She started to bite her own tongue, not able to show her how shameless she was by going straight to the point. Tiffany scoffed, she knows people like her. People like Lily would never do something without any other motives under their sleeves. She was a greedy mediocre but that was the least of her problems for now, she only needed her to say the name, she was ready to give her anything. "What do you want Lily, name it" she had all confidence as she spoke. "Two million dollars, I need two million dollars and I would tell you the nam

She was told to report at work tomorrow along with the rest of the workers. Jemmy and her took cabs and went to their respective homes. She gave her address to the taxi driver before she leaned back on the seat, letting her stiff back relax. She wasn't able to relax much at the vacation like how her dear Sunny told her to. She would scold her.if she heard that she was actually turned into a chef cooker for the rest of the crew by Alan, it was all his fault. Two hours later she arrived home, pulling her suitcase with her to the elevator with so much difficulty. "Do you need a hand?" A male voice made her turn, she saw an officially dressed man who had a suitcase on his hand, red hairs and rounded shaped glasses on. "Please, thank you" she really needed a hand, her bag has become quite heavy now that she came back with a lot of gifts for eve

    Aileen's POV The next day, Sunny drove us to Leelan's school before she went to her place, she was living at my place helping my mother taking care of my son, according to her Leelan didn't give him a hard time at all during my trip but I know my son better than anyone, he is quite mischievous just like his father. God! He totally ruined my son in every manner, Leelan is so much like his father than Alan himself. I held his hand and walked with him past the gates of his school, he was swinging our hands as we walked, one could see the brightness of his mood today and my heart was warmed up too as I looked at the little guy. I crouched down pinching his cheeks, something that he doesn't like at all but I can't help it, he looks so adorable when he is angry. "Who is the best in the whole world to mama?" I ask with a pout. "Me!" His cheerful voice rang to my ears. "Right! You the most precious to me son, now go and make me proud, okay?" I kiss his forehead and rubbed his hair, "Okay, b

I had to drop by my office and get back to work, compensating for the time that I lost enjoying my birthday vacation. Someone like me can't just sit idle because none of my business operations will run smoothly, not that I wasn't working there as well, it's just that I've lost too much time. Usually, I would've never had any birthday celebration but I planned the trip only to get Aileen hurt, what happened in the end was hurting myself instead. That woman is such a pain in every aspect of my life, even to my manhood. It didn't rest when she was around me, even for a second. And now Tiffany was getting me anxious lately, acting so unlike her normal self. Damn, these women are planning to kill me and it was working. I switched on my laptop and buried my face in it.

    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

    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

  • Let's Start Over    Mother's duty

    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

  • Let's Start Over    Meeting with his family

    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.
