Sleeping with my ex-boyfriend's father Chapter 56
*Andrea* It was my first day at work, and I had woken up late. My morning started with a scream that woke Alison, who was lying on the couch opposite mine. We had slept in the sitting room. There were remnants of what we had eaten last night. “What's wrong?” Alison asked, her eyes still heavy, her hand brushing the hair out of her face. I leaped up, “fuck, I'm late.” I said and rushed to my room, ignoring the headache I felt banging my head. I brushed and bathed immediately. Alison was still in the sitting room by the time I rushed back. It was already 10 am and I was yet to get a cab. I rushed into a cab that had been stopped by a young girl, yelling sorry behind me. I tried to steady my breath to come up with an excuse, the perfect one but I couldn't. My heart beat widely within my chest. How did I end up in this mess? Lucy was not going to be pleased. The cab came to a stop and I stepped out after paying. The golden sun shone from above. I walked into the office. Peo

*Andrea*“What problem?” The man next to the projector said, his round-rimmed glasses resting on the bridge of his nose.“well that is…” I pointed to the design. “That is mine.” “What gibberish are you spitting out, Andrea?” Marian asked with clenched teeth. “Well, I…” The stares I was receiving were too much.“She must be mistaken. Let's proceed with the meeting. It must be really hard to work as a pregnant woman.” The meeting continued as it should. There was nothing I could do about it. After the meeting, Marian called me into her office. “What was that all about?” She asked.“That design was mine,” I said.“So?” She asked.“Why did you lie that it was yours?” I asked, anger coursing through my veins. I felt mad. “You want to take credit for the work?” “Of course. It's mine.” I said.“You should be grateful I chose yours. I made a few modifications to the design. You should have noticed it is not as plain as it was when you submitted it.” She said.That was the first time Maria

*Andrea*Five years later.I ran around the room, trying to get hold of Austin. “You're too slow; you won't ever get me.” He says, giggling. “Come here,” I leaped and tried to get him, but he moved aside, and I fell on the sofa. He stood a few feet away from me, one hand on his waist as he laughed.That sound has become my favorite. I didn't go after him anymore; we just stood there laughing. On the table was a lunch box. “I told you I'm a big boy now, momma, and you don't need to pack food for me and treat me like a baby.” I stood and walked towards him. He didn't move this time, “what can momma do? You'll always be her baby.” I said, pinching his cheeks playfully.“No. I don't want to be a baby, I want to grow up.” He said.I lifted him up and then held him to myself so he met my height. “You want to be as tall as this?” I asked.It was his turn to pinch my cheeks. “Of course. I'll grow even taller, become the smartest child you've ever known, and earn a lot. I'll protect and tak

*Alejandro*I stared at the photo of a man and a woman. The woman's smile was blinding. The man held her so close to himself as though he feared that when he left her, she'd disappear from the world. I do this from time to time so that I don't forget how she looks. I traced Andrea's smile. Would things have been different if I had never found out about everything? It has been over five years, and I still can't get her out of my mind. Five years of living without her, and if you ask me, I'll say that is the most difficult five years I've ever got by. I still find myself craving for her every night. I still find myself looking over her picture and tracing her smile. The door to my study made a creaking noise and I kept the picture inside a file as the door opened.“Hey!” Nora greeted. Since we got married, Lucas has been living with us.“Do you want something?” I asked. Although we've been married for five years, I have never slept in the same room as her. She has tried to talk a

*Andrea*Austin's joy knew no bounds when he heard Alison would be back in a few days. He felt giddy the entire night, waking up in between sleep to ask when we would be at the airport. It was just as anticipated. Alison remains his favorite aunt and would always spoil him with whatever he asked for.I stood in the kitchen making breakfast. Alison won't be here till noon, and I had to skip work today; maybe it had been easier because Dave was with me. I wanted to be at home for Alison. Austin would not be going to school, either. Throughout our ride home yesterday, he cried, saying he wanted to come with me to the airport. I chopped the veggies, my knife making a click-click sound on the table. My hair was tied in a bun. I suddenly felt Austin's hand over my waist, “Morning momma.” He greeted me. I turned, bent to meet his height, and placed a kiss on his cheeks.“How was your night love?” I asked, and he bobbed his head up and down before placing one hand on his eyes. “Are you h

*Alejandro*Anger surged through me as I stared at Nora, who had a smile plastered on her face. “What are you doing here?” I asked. She had called me earlier, but little did I know that it was because she had a plan at hand.“I wanted to be here with you. We're married so I thought we should go everywhere together. Isn't that what married couples do?” I glared at her; she was still as manipulative as she had always been.“Don't let this marriage get in your head,” I said, staring towards the sliding glass door. A ray of sun hit my face as I stood outside, and Nora stood a few feet away from me.She was bent on going home with me, and I wanted to be alone—alone from all of them.A black SUV pulled in front of me, and a man in a black suit. The driver opened the door for me. Nora was about to enter, but I stopped her and asked the driver to drive away. She should find her way home herself; after all, she didn't come here with me. A penthouse has been prepared for me. I walked into the

*Andrea*Alison would be staying for a few months, and this brought me more joy than it should. Now, I had someone who would take Austin to school and bring him back. Unlike the past few days, I got to work early. I clutched a pack of lunch that Alison had made sure I took. I went over to my cubicle and sat. Harper stepped into the office at that moment. “Who would have thought you'd come before me?” she asked, and I smiled. “You better be prepared, the next few months, I'll always be the first to be here.” I joked back as Harper pulled out her chair and sat. Soon, others started pouring into the office. I had a lot of things to do. First, there was a design I was on. I had tried to finish it yesterday, but I couldn't. Maybe it was because I was overjoyed at Alison's return, or maybe it was because my emotions became a mess when Alison mentioned Alejandro.My hand moved to my neck, and I touched the necklace. Last night (10 pm)After running away from the conversation about Aleja

*Andrea*I walked out of the room, my heart filled with relief that it was nothing serious. When I walked out of the hospital, I wasn't sure of the ice cream shop's location, so I asked for directions. There were a few people in the shop. A waiter with an apron drafted around his waist welcomed me with a smile as I stepped forward. There were three waiters behind the table; each had a queue with people waiting to get an ice cream. I stood behind a girl.When it was just one person before it got to me, someone stepped in, and immediately, the air in the shop shifted. I was about to turn when the waiter in front of me asked, “What flavor do you want?” “Chocolate,” I said and paused, wondering if Alison would want some, “and strawberry.” She handed the ice cream to me, “Thanks for your patronage.” Immediately I stepped out of the shop, my phone rang. I paused a few feet away from the entrance, “How is he?” Harper asked. I had completely forgotten about her. My mind is now clouded w

*Alejandro*We were at the airport, dropping Lucas, Alison and Williams off. Williams was heading back to Florida and Lucas was traveling to attend the conference and manage the company's branch over in Florida. Fortunately, Jane had been able to get it postponed and since I'd already promised Lucas he could attend on my behalf, I wanted to keep my word. Alison, of course, was going with Lucas. She'd already said her home was wherever Lucas was. Everyone was expecting them to get engaged any day now."I'll miss you, auntie Alison," Austin said, trying his best to hold back his tears. Alison picked him up and gave raining kisses all over his face. Watching them tugged on some unknown part of me. Alison had become a huge part of Austin's life. Whenever Andrea and I couldn't have him with us, he was always with her. I couldn't imagine how they both felt now that she was moving temporarily.She kissed his cheek for the last time before letting him down. "I'll miss you too buddy," She sai

*Andrea*It had been a few weeks since I'd gotten back from the hospital. Nora was dead, Lucas was recovering and Austin and I had gotten some semblance of peace back in our lives. I'd managed to convince Alejandro to have a talk with Williams and it was the most difficult thing I had ever done. Alejandro had refused to speak about him for days, always asking me to please change the topic whenever I brought him up.And I had. Every time.As much as I had wanted them to make peace, my loyalty lies with Alejandro and I had never wanted to force him to do something he wasn't ready for. Fortunately after a few more days, he'd loosened up and we'd had the conversation. He'd kissed my head, letting me know he would never go back to being buddies with him but he was willing to make peace just for Lucas. They'd met at a restaurant a few days later.Alejandro had not wanted him in the house.Alejandro had given me a summary of how the talk had went. He'd made Williams understand that they coul

*Alejandro *I held onto the stretcher as the nurses rolled Andrea away. The stainless white walls and strong stench of disinfectant were the last thing on my mind as one of the nurses hurriedly called the attention of a doctor. I fisted my hands helplessly when the doctor asked me to wait outside, watching as they rolled her into the room. I brought my fist to my lips, shaking my head and trying to control my rising panic.I lowered myself on the chair in the waiting room, tapping my feet impatiently on the floor. I hated hospitals. It was filled with such sad people. A woman pushed a man on a wheelchair passed me. Kids ran around the waiting area, oblivious to what was actually going on. It wasn't hard to imagine what I looked like. My hair was a disheveled mess and sweat clung to my skin.I looked at my watch. It had only been two minutes since Andrea had been in the room but it felt like an hour. I stood up and paced around the hallway , unable to continue sitting in one place. Ho

*Andrea*I was pulled forcefully along the rough ground barefoot. My clothes were torn, and because they held my leg, walking became hard. But I bared all of it, hoping I would get through this. “Make her walk faster; we must make sure the piranhas have dinner on time.” Nora was in front, leading as they dragged me. “You don't have to do this, Nora. Don't do this,” I said. I can't imagine my son living without his mother. He had just gotten his father back after five years of living without him, and now Nora was about to make him lose his mother. I didn't want to watch this; I just couldn't.“Shut your mouth, or I'll make you shut it,” Nora warned. “We are close to the lake; you Should save that strength for the initial struggle; oh lord, it will be so fun to watch you.” She let out a laugh, and I wanted to run a dagger through her mouth and cut off her tongue.We soon reached the lake, which had a small bridge and railings. We stopped. “Nora, we don't have to go this far,” I said

*Andrea*I don't know how Lucas came here. But what shocked me the most was that Nora could have him tied like this next to me. One of the men had hit him hard on his head, causing him to lose consciousness. My heart tightened as I watched Lucas groan in pain before dropping to the floor. How could a mother be this heartless? What bothered me more was that it was Lucas who was here. Alejandro should be the one here, not Lucas. I had left through a place where, though it was dark, there was still a CCTV camera there, so why was help not coming? When I saw one of the two men with Nora carrying Lucas up, I asked, “What are you doing to him?” To Nora, I said, “he is your son, so why are you doing this to him?” I expect her to yell at the man who had hurt Lucas and to go pat her son; that's what I'd do. That's what every mother would do. But at that point, I had forgotten that not every mother would kidnap and threaten someone with a gun.It didn't take long for Lucas to regain his co

*Alejandro*The night has to be the longest night I have ever had. I looked back to the early hours of that day. Things had gone well; we had all been happy. All I had to do was to divorce Nora and get back my life. Andrea and Austin. But who would have thought that I would lose both of them that same day? I would never have imagined. I did all I could to find them, but everything led to a roadblock. It was frustrating. But I had to put up with it. I wasn't going to lose hope. I know I can find them.I don't care if I have to flip the earth over. I will find them. I spent the night watching one footage or another, checking everywhere I could, and getting the police involved. Alison didn't sleep either, and neither did Lucas. The following day, when he left to get a few things for us, I stepped into one of the empty rooms, and for once, I felt tears gather in my eyes.I didn't allow them to fall, and I will accept that it may take longer to find them.I was to meet with the inspec

*Andrea*Austin stood still, not moving, “Momma,” he called. From the corner of my eyes, I could see that Nora was trying to stand up.I wasn't going to allow that. I leapt on her and held her down. “Austin, please run. Don't worry about mama. Go and get help for momma.” I yelled, and he ran out of the room.Nora struggled under my hold, but I kept my grip on her tight. I would not allow her to move. Never. Not until Austin was fully out. She pushed me away and aimed for the door. But I hit her head hard with my hand, sending a blow across her head that made her go back on her knees. I don't know how far Austin can go, but I knew I had to keep Nora down so she wouldn't call on her men for as long as I could.I walked to the door, but before I could step out entirely, she pulled my hair and dragged me into the room, “Go after the child, go after the child.” She kept shouting while trying to stop me from running. I couldn't see what was going on behind the door as she closed it, but

*Andrea*It felt like I was dreaming. My mind kept retracting back to the entrance. We had just stepped in, and he had run after Alison. I could still see Alison walking towards me alone. When she said she didn't see him, we went ahead and searched for him immediately. At first, I thought he was just being mischievous as always and promised to scold him in case of further occurrence. But after searching the restrooms and the hallway and not finding him anywhere, I began to feel uneasy. Then we had to search around the hotel. I searched outside; maybe he had run out. But he wasn't outside. After searching for over twenty minutes and not getting any sign of him, worries finally sipped into my heart. I couldn't hold back anymore, and tears began to roll down my eyes. I called Alejandro immediately.We'd been searching for over two hours, and he had yet to be seen. When Alejandro told me that he had been tracked, I wept; that meant my son had been kidnapped. He had been taken away.

*Alejandro* I had just stepped out of my car when my phone rang. I picked up the call immediately when Andrea’s name appeared on my screen.I had been delayed as a result of traffic. Lucas got out from the other side. “We are here, Andrea, sorry just give us…”“We can't find Austin,” her voice rang out from the other end. I removed the phone from my ear, stared at the screen, and placed it back. “We can't find Austin. We came together, but he's gone. He's not in the restaurant. I don't know where he is. We've been searching over thirty minutes…” she was breaking down. I stopped on my track, my entire mood flipping.“What do you mean?” I began working, taking large strides. “When? How?” She didn't respond; she just kept sobbing. Noticing my change, Lucas asked, “Dad, what's wrong?” I ended the call, “Austin has gone missing,” I said, running towards the entrance like a madman.I didn't mind the curious stares I received immediately after entering the hotel.I looked around, but A
