My First Ex: The Billionaire's Home Coming CHAPTER TEN
The wait at the hospital reception was excruciating to say the least, Vanessa has never felt so scared in her life not even when her Mother was fighting cancer or when she lost her high school best friend in a car accident, nothing came close to thinking Alex had attempt suicide or that he might actually had succeeded since he is not out of the woods yet. The thought of him lying lifeless on a hospital bed brought back memories of him the first day she had met him.She had arrived late because she had stupidly let Emma convince her that they needed to celebrate her internship appointment at a prestigious organization and they had went drinking late causing her to wake up late with the worst hangover and little to no memory of what had happened the previous night. Emma who she assumed had drink more than she because of her well established drinking habit was at the kitchen making breakfast wearing nothing but a shirt which she knew at the time means she had a guy over, probably a ran

“You look beautiful as always Vanessa” Kate compliment politely. And Vanessa smiles in response, it had been two days since the incident with Alex and she was glad he had kept his distance.“i told ya” Emma whispered in her ear with a duh tune. She had relentlessly nag Vanessa to RSVP yes to the party and invited herself as her plus one, she felt it will somehow elevate her spirit even though she claimed she was fine.“She's just being polite” Vanessa responded, scanning the room and occasionally nodding her head when she made eye contact with a familiar face.She honestly wished she were back home getting some work from her pile of work done but she agreed to this just to show Emma she was fine like she said she was and get her to shut up. All these exclusive parties only serve as a reminder of her life with him and she will very much like to put that behind her.“Beautiful as always miss Morgan” a voice said from behind her.She turned to reply but the face made her freeze, Sam!

“Look Mama a puppy” Rose called out and pointed as she had done whenever she spotted one.Vanessa giggled and kissed her forehead, Rose was hell bent on convincing her to get them a dog and she felt it was too much work for her and Jenny.“We will get one when you're old enough to take care of it,” she said, dusting off sand from her knee. She had agreed to spend time with her this weekend and was somehow tricked into coming to the park. Rose was an outdoor person like her father, Vanessa would rather stay in and sleep, watch movies or tend to her garden if she had one, “I can take care of it Mama,” she said with a familiar smile and her best puppy eyes. She knew calling her Mummy Mama makes her emissional and affectionate and she almost always gets what she wants with it but not this time.“Okay Baby how about you take care of me and Jenny for the whole week and then I will consider” she offered resting her hands on her shoulders.“Really Mama?” Rose’s blue eyes light up with excite

She stood there like a statue while Rose screamed for her father, was she wrong to deny them that, was she wrong in assuming the worst and think he might one day hurt Rose to, was she selfish she felt worse than the night he left her, at least then she could shield Rose from all this.“ I want him!I want my Daddy!” Rose screamed, bringing her back to reality.“Okay Baby, your Daddy will come” she managed to say, patting her back to calm her dawn.“No!” She screamed “ I want him now you set him out i want him”Rose wanted to say he is not your Daddy but she doesn't want to lie about something like this.“ We will go get him tomorrow after school,” she said instead.But in her heart she knew that was also a lie she was just buying time and hoping Rose will forget about this at least for now. Rose didn't say a word but she was calming down at least so she decided it's better to just say nothing to.She picked her up like a baby and sat on a sofa with her on her lap. The crying had stoppe

After days without receiving threatening messages, she finally felt a sense of relief. Emma seemed to have backed off from nagging her too, but it was too early to declare it over. Despite this temporary peace, her nerves were still on edge. Her main concern now was having to constantly dodge her daughter's pleas to see her father, her heart aching with the web of lies she had to spin each time.It was a quiet morning as she sorted through her emails, trying to find some semblance of normalcy while sipping her coffee. Suddenly, her phone rang, shattering the fragile peace she had mustered. Her heart raced as she debated whether to answer the unknown number. This was the reality of her life now, she thought, before finally picking up the call and bringing the phone to her ear."Vanessa," his deep voice greeted her from the other end.She refused to admit to herself that a part of her was relieved to hear his voice, knowing all too well that nothing good could come from breaking the con

“It's just me,” a voice called out from the building. At first, Vanessa couldn't discern the speaker's identity, but as a figure clad in a bathrobe emerged from the shadows, she recognized the familiar gait of her best friend, Emma. Her initial instinct was to flee, but she willed herself to remain composed.“It's just me,” Emma repeated, a hint of laughter bubbling beneath her words.“Emma?” Vanessa gasped with relief as she approached her friend. “What are you doing here?”“Well, you canceled on me, so I thought I'd surprise you at home. But when I arrived and found you missing, I let myself in,” Emma replied casually as they made their way back to Vanessa's apartment.“Is everything okay?” Emma inquired, noting the tension in Vanessa's voice.“Yeah, why?” Vanessa replied, her voice betraying a fear she sought to conceal. She knew that voicing her worries could jeopardize her Rose's well-being, so she masked her emotions behind a facade of composure which she knew Emma could see thr

Alex looked up as she approached, a flicker of concern crossing his features before hiding behind a polite smile."I almost thought, you're standing me up," Alex greeted her, his voice holding a hint of uncertainty.In truth she had considered standing him up or canceling the date all together but she couldn't.

Sam followed her gaze to the door but Alex was gone.“ Is everything alright?” he is now sitting next to her, making her even more uncomfortable.This is definitely not how she had pictured the evening going, it was supposed to be a romantic evening that ends with her waking up with a smile next to a naked Sam and the thoughts of Alex gone, she was convinced it wasn't love she felt for him it was lust and sleeping with Sam was going to make everything go away but instead she is worried about how much of what went between her and Sam Alex had witness and for no reason she was getting angry at Sam.“This is a bad idea,” she said in a whisper. If he wasn't sitting so close to her he wouldn't have had her.All this was getting old and frankly insulting, Sam was a solid nine, since nobody was ever actually a ten except in books, he was tall, good looking, respectable and runs his own successful business he wasn't Alex rich but rich yet it felt like she was using him.“Is there someone else
