Illegitimate Child
Last Updated:
2023-04-21 16:12:25Leia storms out of the building with a flurry of hurried steps, almost running as she ignores Rachel's shouts behind her. The words from the tv were still ringing in her ears.
'I didn't want to hide him but it seemed like the ….. only choice'.
She felt sick. Absent-mindedly Leia notes that her fever was most likely back but she didn't care as she rushed to the parking lot.
Upon arriving she meets with the driver who's just about to leave, and stops him.
He opened his mouth, most likely to greet Leia, but she cut in before he could speak.
"Keys," she demands, her hand outstretched in front of his stunned face.
He gaped for a moment before composing himself.
"I'm sorry ma'am but I can't do that. It would be better if I drove." He says quickly, trying to avoid her eyes.
Saying those words didn't make Leia change her mind as she glared at him before simply snatching the keys from his vest pocket.
"Ma'am!." He yelps in a squeaky voice.
Unbothered by his yelling, she shoves him away from the car before opening it. The man flutters around in nervous panic.
Likely scared that he was failing his job but not wanting to touch her too.
"Ma'am! Please, I've been authorized by your family to drive you wherever you want." He wrings his hands in anxiety, his moustache quivers from his fidgeting.
She doesn't mind as she slams the door angrily before driving off, mentally apologizing to Rachel because she knows she was worrying about her again.
Her legs upon the gas pedal, pushing the car to its limit.
With no care for speed limits when the world as she knows was crumbling, Leia drives away.
In no time at all, she arrives at the precinct that holds her husband.
Standing outside its revolving doors she braves herself with deep breath and hopes for the best before she takes the step in.
After taking care of the necessary arrangements she sits in the meeting room, sinking into the hard plastic chair, as she waits for them to bring Kasen out. The coolness of the room sinking into her bones and turning her limbs into the lead.
All of sudden she feels so tired….. She just wants to fall asleep and pretend that today never happened.
As her eyes wander around, she spots a wall clock with a calendar and notices the date.
Finally a thought rings in her head, "yesterday was supposed to be Kasen's first trial." Thanks to her illness, she completely forgot all about it, she didn't even know she'd been ill the whole day.
She's broken out of thoughts when the door leading to the cells opens and the warden, accompanying Kasen, steps out.
"He's lost a lot of weight," she cries to herself, forgetting the main reason she was here.
Her eyes were on her husband and even if she's confused and frustrated, Leia's heart couldn't help at the sinking of him.
It was like having a breath of fresh air.
His dark chocolatey locks had grown longer and were so messy, and he had grown beards too.
His eyes looked a little bit tired and there was a tilt in his shoulders that says he just wants a nap.
It was still the man she fell in love with.
Right after he's brought in, Leia watches as Kasen's eyes widen at the sight of her.
"Hi, sweetie." The words were quiet but they sounded so loud in the stillness of the room.
The Warden cleared his throat, likely uncomfortable with the awkward moment.
"You got thirty minutes. Keep it short and remember no violence will be tolerated here." He says before uncuffing Kasen and leaving the room.
Everything was still again until Kasen finally made his way to the other seat.
"You shouldn't be here." He says as soon as he sits down.
The mood is instantly ruined as Leia scoffs before pulling out her phone.
"Is that all you're going to say to me?" She snarks.
Kasen's eyes wander to her phone, and within seconds, he frowns.
A hand stretches out on the table, signalling for her phone, which she hands over.
With a few minutes of silence Kasen sighs before handing Leia back her phone.
"I guess it's finally out, you shouldn't come close to me during this time. You could be implicated." He says, looking her in the eyes with emptiness.
Those eyes of his couldn't help but make Leia more worried. She was curious to know why his eyes were empty.
Was it for her, or because of the news?
But as much as she wants to know, Kasen isn't making the task any easier as his face tells her she isn't going to get a word out of him.
Drowning in sorrow, Leia feels her heart ache as her hand shakes, she needs to know. She just needs that hope.
"I need you to explain this," she says before shoving her phone in his face that was showing today's headline.
THE ALLEGED SUSPECT, CEO GEORGE SKY OF SKY CORPORATIONS, WAS DECLARED TO BE THE FATHER OF THE EX-FIANCE'S CHILD.
Leia could still remember her grating voice from the screen as Janette cried.
'I didn't want to hide him' she says, him being her recently discovered 4-year-old son.
'but due to the circumstances surrounding his birth, I couldn't tell anyone that he was my baby's father. But I think now is the right time.'
"Yeah right. More like the right time to drag his name through the mud," Leia thinks to herself.
Right after reading the news to him, Kasen pushes his head into his arms before he groans.
"I can't believe she did that." Leia says, rolling her eyes in disbelief.
"You know, I may have always loved being on tv. It shouldn't shock you that she would use this to make herself more famous."
Kasen just nods before dropping his hands, and Leia winces at the tired look on his face, deep inside her, she is panicking as to why he hasn't said a word.
"It's all fake right?."
"..."
"You're not that kid's father right?" She knows she sounds desperate but she needed to know the truth and it wasn't helping that Kasen is quiet.
Angry from his silence, she slams her hands on the table.
"Answer me dammit!" Her voice echoes through the room but she didn't care, all she wanted were answers. "Are you really-."
"Do you want the truth, or what you want to believe?" He asks.
Never has she felt a folder gush of wind that today as she stares blankly at him. "W-what? How?!." He raises his hands in surrender.
"Please calm down Leia. Getting agitated is bad for your health." He demurred in a soft tone but that's less than enough to calm her down as she stands on her feet.
"No! Don't tell me to calm down. How did this happen? What happened, tell me!"
"I'm sorry," he says in a calm, sad voice, his face staring at the floor.
Tears flood her eyes as she stares at him.
With hurried footsteps she rushes towards him, grabbing Kasen by the shirt as she violently shakes him.
"I- I can't-."
"Time up," the warden yells from outside, cutting Leia off as he opens the door.
The Warden walks in and gestures at Leia.
"Your meeting is being too disorderly. I would like to ask you to leave." He intoned at her.
She gasps for a moment before shutting her mouth, but then she nods and grabs her phone from the table before walking out the open door.
Not looking back, not responding to Kasen's plaintive farewell.
Her head is swirling as she is escorted from the police station.
As soon as she steps out of the building she catches sight of Mark standing outside.
There wasn't anything to say to him, neither did she bother about the reason for his being here.
If anything, the mere sight of him, causes her stomach to squeeze, and she glares with all the rage she's feeling in her chest before storming past him, purposely knocking his shoulder with her own.
"God, I hate him," she thinks to herself.

Mark walks into the police station right after Leia has left when Kasen is brought into the waiting room for the second time in a day. His cousin, Kasen, looks up at him and asks him to leave."Well if it isn't my one and only cousin Mark," Kasen says.Mark didn't budge, his eyes rolled in irritation."I'm here to discuss a few things with you, and I'm afraid I'm not leaving until I find those documents," he says firmly. "I'll burn this place to the ground if I have to."Kasen shakes his head. "You're not thinking straight. Just go home and cool off, or you can join me here if you want to, for the second time in your life I mean."Mark stands up and towers over Kasen, sternly looking at him."I'll go home… when I have those documents in my hand. And you better take care of yourself, Kasen, I wouldn't want anything to happen to you." Knowing fully well that Leia has hidden the document, he couldn't help but frown at how good Leia is at playing hide and seek, but what excites him, was

They didn't realize he was here already. Claire feels fear settling in her bones, worrying over the possibility of Mark overhearing their conversation with Leia, but after a few minutes of his silence, she realizes he didn't hear anything. He probably had just seen Leia's car drive out when he was driving in. Mark walks purposefully towards them, his cold and arrogant expression enough to frighten them. The aura surrounding him commands respect, dominance practically oozing from his pores. He meets the eyes of Andrew and Claire before lowering himself to take his seat before signalling to a nearby maid and the woman rushes out of the room to get him something to drink.

The duo were silent as Rachel drove down the dark road. The streetlights were bright in the darkness of twilight as Leia rested her chin on her knuckles, looking out the window of Rachel's crappy car. Said car was unusually silent and Leia could tell something was wrong with Rachel but she decided to not question it till they got back to the apartment. However, there has been something that has been bugging her since they left the station. What was annoying her was the fact that Mark left her in prison to rot there. He didn't even spend five minutes in the station and he didn't even look back to see if she was still there before he left the damned place. He was the reason that old filthy man called the police. Leia grits her teeth as she remembers what that old man did.Leia didn't even notice the car driving into an apartment's driveway. Rachel stopped the car after driving into the car park.

"At least learn some manners first." Mark frowns angrily and she seems even angrier as she looks at him."What is he doing here?" She half whispers to Leia who looks back at Mark before replying."Well, he brought me home." She replies softly and Mark walks over to them and dumps the bag of medications in Leia's hands."Don't forget to take your pills and eat. Stress yourself more if you like. If you conduct a funeral for your child in the next few days, know pretty well that I won't pity you even though it might be related to me." Mark says with a hint of anger in his voice before he walks back into his car and drives off.Rachel looks at her in shock. She isn't expecting what Mark just said and she needs Leia to give a proper explanation of everything he just said, but she doesn't look like she's going to say anything about it right there, so Rachel just leads her into the house."Where have you been since morning?

It was the big boss, his face bruised and battered, his trousers stained with blood. He regarded Leia with disdain, his lip curled into a cruel sneer.

Kasen and Leia stood in the dimly lit, small brick-walled room, their hearts pounding in their chests. The air was thick with tension, and the sound of trickling water echoed through the enclosed space, a chilling reminder of their predicament. Leia's eyes darted around, desperately searching for an escape route, but there were no windows, no doors, just cold, damp stone walls that seemed to be closing in on them. Her breaths came in short, panicked gasps as the water steadily crept up from cracks. She couldn't swim, and the rising water terrified her. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she began to cry. She sniffled a sob, trying to control her emotions. Kasen, determined to keep them both calm, reached out and gently touched Leia's shoulder.

He tried to remember how he had ended up here, but the events leading to this moment were a blur.As his vision cleared, Mark noticed two police officers standing by his bedside, their faces stern and unwavering. They were ready to question him, to unravel the web of events that had led to this tumultuous situation.Before they could begin their interrogation, the door to the hospital room swung open, and Kasen entered, his expression sombre. He walked over to the police officers and said something in a hushed tone. They nodded and reluctantly left the room, leaving Mark alone with Kasen.Mark tried to sit up, but the pain in his body made him wince.

The smell of gunpowder filled the air as bullets continue to whisk past them. Opal dove into the ground, escaping some shots merely by luck. "Retreat! Take cover!" She yelled, realising that in their current position, they could stand toe to toe against Mark's men.As they rushed backwards, a bullet sunk into the shoulders of one of Opal's men, ten impact making him to fall face down and roll. Opal quickly hopped over a rock, finding cover behind it as she rested her back against it, her chest heaving with exhaustion. She retrieved her gun and reloaded it, holding it tight with both her arms as she prepared for anything."Opal! I'm here, come out and fucking face me!"

They had stumbled upon this cave in a desperate bid to escape the clutches of the big boss and his relentless henchmen. Now, as Leia rested her back against the damp, rocky wall, her chest heaved with exertion. The darkness of the cave enveloped them, offering a sliver of safety in an otherwise perilous situation.Outside, the big boss had ordered his patrol to scour the area, leaving no stone unturned in their search for his fugitives. The tension in the cave was palpable as Mark and Leia strained their ears for any signs of pursuit."So what now?" Leia asked. "They're after us."Mark sighed, knowing that what she was saying was true. "I don't know. Maybe we can wait it out in this cave," he replied.Just then, Mark's sharp eyes caught a flicker of movement at the cave entrance. He nudged Leia, and she froze, her fear mirroring the uncertainty in his eyes. The henchman who had jus

Leia's breath could hardly breathe as she gasps for air repeatedly, her resistance knows no bounds as Mark couldn't help but fear, still he couldn't let her loose because he knows what she's capable off. She struggles against the restraints binding her to the ornate bed frame to the point where she had begun to bleed due to the injury on her wrist. Mark couldn't help but feel guilty as he found no one but himself responsible for her behaviour. Her eyes flickered with a wild, haunted look as they darted around the dimly lit room. "Let me go, let me go right now you madman, just you wait, I'll kill you as soon as I get away from here!" She promises Mark much to his fear. He couldn't possibly believe the words coming out of her mouth and feared the worst. Now she's become dangerous to both herself and himself.

It took more than a while to calm Leia down as she would continuously try to wiggle her way out until she was finally subdued by Mark and fell asleep. Everything looked like hell for Mark wouldn't couldn't help but hope for the best to happen as it pained him to see Leia in this pathetic state, so much so that he refused to leave her bedside when she fell asleep.Everything was a disaster at this point and he just couldn't take it anymore.

Scandalous Secret Affairs Falling Pieces.
Despite his happiness, Mark's worst fears were about to become a reality. He dashed through the hallway, shoving whoever dared get in his way as he hurried for Leia's room."Is she okay, how is she, is she in good shape, is it something serious?" Mark suddenly questions in a rush. He couldn't wait, especially not after waiting two days already for either of the ladies to wake up. His joy at the moment knows no bounds as he hurries to enter into the bedroom, the only stopping him is the doctor in his way. "Should I kill him?" Mark questions himself while he stares at the frightened woman who seems to repeatedly block each route he tries to take. "For god sake Mr. Sky you have to calm down," the woman yells. He couldn't possibly believe his eyes and eyes as he stared at the puny woman who seemed to lack a lot more flesh than Leia had. "It'll just take one twist and she'd probably pass on," he tells himself as she stares at her, examining what to do about this sudden disturbance.
