Hailey
After what happened, Alex hasn’t spoken a word to me. I wondered if he was still angry, or just didn’t have anything to say, but I couldn't do anything.
It was 6 in the morning and I just didn’t want the day to start. From now, I will have to go to the company to manage the papers and other things.
Time seems to pass by quickly now. It was like only a minute before it turned to 6:30 and only a few minutes till it was 7:30.
I could hear voices from downstairs. I finally woke up and after getting fresh, went downstairs.
I looked at Alex and his tensed face. I didn’t speak a word because I didn’t wanna get scolded. I saw Summer coming and kept the lunch on the table in front of our couches.
Then she went to her room.
“Has she eaten?” I asked him finally.
“Why should I care?” His answer was scary, and then he picked up his plate and started eatiRobert I was glad that I could finally tell the truth to her. I knew that I had to rectify what John did, so I went to the company before she could come. Everyone still treated me the same. They wished me, and some even called me boss. I asked them to call Hailey the boss now, but it seemed like they took her too lightly. I will slowly change this. Finally, I saw Hailey entering the company. She seemed nervous. “Don’t you need an assistant?” I asked her. She smiled, but was more nervous. “Let’s talk inside,” I said. She nodded slowly and then we went into her cabin. “You? And assistant?” her eyes were building out in shock. “no-no, that is bad”“It is not. I can assist my wife” “No you can't,” her voice was bold. I chuckled and went to her. I kept my hand on her cheeks. “Do you want me to beg to be your assistant?” “Robert!” She was embarrassed. “What’s wrong with yo
Hailey I was beside them and listening to their conversation. I couldn’t believe what Alex was saying! “What? We did it, Alex. I know--”“You are saying I am lying?” He went near her and looked at her with anger. “First, you get pregnant without any contact! Do you know what that means!” She looked scared and hurt. “Do you mean I cheated!?” “Yes! You did and you are what you always have been! A prostitute!” She looked hurt and almost gasped. She couldn’t stop her tears and nodded. “Fine, I knew this. Sorry, will never disturb you again” She started going out and I followed her. “Hey, hey--” But she just ran outside and didn’t listen to me at all. I went behind her, but she took a cab and left. I was really mad at him. I believe her. She could never do such a thing. I know that she is right, and I will fight for her. “Why did you do that?” I asked him, almost with a disgusted face. I would dis
Hailey I was in too much of a dilemma to think straight. I don’t wanna think that maybe that bastard has come again, to ruin our happiness. I can feel that he is Robert, but I never felt that it wasn’t Robert back then either! I can’t really take this risk again. I have to stay alert. I decided to first make sure that he is Robert. Or, I will believe him if he just tells me why he was not shocked. There has to be a reason because I thought he would freak out. I sat down on the couch and again all the thoughts came to mind. But if Robert is John, then I just sent John to find Summer! he can hurt her and take advantage of her pregnancy! I was suddenly scared and thought of warning Summer. I called her. As expected, she didn’t pick up. I don’t know. I don’t wanna hurt or betray Robert because I suspect him of being John! I groaned in frustration. Fine, I will deal with Alex. I called him and he picked it up. h
HaileyI couldn’t believe what my eyes were seeing. I could be hallucinating, but I really didn’t remember drinking any alcohol from the morning.“Max!?” the words came out, and even my own mind told me to stop hallucinating. This has to be just a dream.But I saw him get up and come to me, standing a few steps away from me. “Mrs. Hailey” his tone was quite warm, and not robotic.His voice was the same, leaving goosebumps all over my body. This wasn’t possible, was it? He died, right? They even found his body and the letter--“Woah you--” I involuntarily stopped myself from exclaiming or reacting. This was Alex’s house and this all might be some of his plans. I don’t wanna fall for any traps.He might not be the real Max.He sighed. “I know it is difficult to believe--”“Who are you?” I asked straight away, cutting him
Hailey I turned to Alex at Max’s words. “A confession?” I asked him. He sighed. “yeah” “What is it?” I asked, and he sighed more. “Well, you know, you should go and find Summer” “Don’t tell me that you did this purposefully” I said in a really strict tone. “Just don’t”“There was a reason…” he whispered. “The child wasn’t safe--” “You know what?” I cut him in between and made a disgusting face. “I… I hate you for this. How can you do this to her? Couldn’t you have just told her the truth? I-- you are unbelievable!” I laughed pathetically. he looked ashamed, but there was nothing that could be done now, no matter how ashamed he was! “and Max” I turned to him. “I am glad you are back but I really can’t believe it is you” He wanted to say something, but held it back and nodded. “I understand. Maybe you will believe it soon…”I nodded. “maybe” I wanted to go out, but I had
Hailey“Shh, tell me what happened?” I asked her, but she couldn’t even stop crying. I hugged her tight.“It is okay, I am here”She stopped after five minutes and sighed. She was still sobbing, but wiped her tears and looked at me. “You know…” she whispered and I raised an eyebrow.“Yeah?”“I… I was…” she sighed. “i need to go to a hospital”I was shocked, but didn’t delay. She was too calm right now, as if she was just hiding something.I nodded and went to the car and asked her to sit down. I decided to drive her to the hospital, while Robert could just follow us in his car.I made sure to drive fast and safely.“What’s wrong?” I asked her, my eyes concentrated on the road.“I… I
SummerI was really glad after hearing the news, but that voice made my heart bitter.I looked up, my hand tightened in a fist.He looked at me with innocent and guilty eyes. Those eyes have always melted me, but now, all I hear when I look at him is, ‘just a prostitute’.I will never forgive him.“Summer…” he whispered. Even my name from his mouth sounded like an abusive word. “How’s the child…?”I couldn’t believe he asked that.I couldn’t believe he had the audacity to ask that after everything.My face tensed up and my fists tightened. So much anger wasn’t good for me, but I couldn't help it.He looked at my fist and then at me, quite scared. “See, Summer…”“If you don’t want me to have a misc
HaileyI was shocked when Robert suddenly called me out to carry her inside. We put her on a bed and the doctors surrounded her for a checkup.We went out and I went to Robert.I gave him a cold look, “What did you do?”He was shocked at my question; but I sighed. He looked here and there and then at me, “What do you mean?”“What did you do to her?”My question was blunt and I knew maybe he would interpret it as an accusation, but I can’t really do anything about that. she was fine and completely happy but when she returned, she was yelling in pain. There has to be something that he did or said.“What do you mean?”I scoffed. “What?”“Are you saying that I” he scoffed. “Did I do something to her?”“I
