*Alejandro*

Soft jazz music resounded in the background. Glass clinked as people murmured.

I walked towards the booth where Lucas was seated. He had a glass of tequila in front of him.

He had his head down; his finger was dancing on the screen of his phone. “Son,” he raised his head, his eyes quickly meeting mine.

“Dad,” he called and stood. We hugged, his cologne engulfing me.

It was nice to see him extend his hand to me in a hug; it made me feel like I was on top of the world.

“How have you been?” I asked, taking my seat, “I didn't know you were back. I got no call or text from you.” I said, signally a barman with my fingers. “When did you arrive in LA?”

“I've been in this City for a few days now; as you can see, I'm doing well.” He said.

I gave my orders to the barman.

Lucas typed on his phone again before placing it on the table in our middle. “I guess you must have been busy?” He asked and I nodded.

“I have been, but I'm sorry. If I had known you were around, I'd have made t

  • Sleeping with my ex-boyfriend's father   Chapter 80

    *Andrea*Sun rays beamed into the room through the window. I had that window locked, and I squinted my eyes, ‘so, who opened it?’My eyes were yet to adjust to the light flooding the room. I laid my back on the wooden frame, one hand rubbing the sleep out of my eyes.Everything was the same, but a feeling I couldn't put my hand on settled in the pit of my stomach.What happened yesterday? I tried to recall if anything went amiss.Just then, my nose tinged, and I yawned lazily.I turned my head, and my eyes fell on a man who was fast asleep close to me. I almost leapt out of bed; I was about to shout when I recognized him.Alejandro?What was he doing here? And on my bed? I furrowed my gaze. Oh no…I raised the duvet and quickly checked myself to see if he had touched me. But he hasn't; I was fully clothed. How did he get on my bed? I wanted to hit him or do anything just to wake him, but I couldn't bring myself to. Instead, I found myself scouting closer to him; his eyes were close

  • Sleeping with my ex-boyfriend's father   Chapter 81

    *Andrea*My head was spinning. Who was this Lucas?Of course, there are many people out there with the same name, so I can't be sure about this. But a Lucas that knows me is hard to come by. She must have probably told him about me. I tried to give myself various reasons why this Lucas can't be the one I know. It has to be someone else.My head suddenly turned heavy. Alison stepped into the sitting room with a bottle of water. I raised my eyes to meet hers, “here, drink water.” She dropped on the sofa, “is something wrong?” She asked me to place the bottle on the table since I refused to accept it.“Lucas, who is he?” I asked. Her hand, which was on my shoulders, fell to her side, and she quickly picked up her phone. “You went through my phone?” She asked. “That's not the question, Alison. Who is this Lucas that is in LA that knows me?”She sighed, her head falling. She placed her phone beside her.“I wanted to tell you, Andrea. I have been waiting for the right opportunity to te

  • Sleeping with my ex-boyfriend's father   Chapter 82

    *Nora*I walked out of Alejandro's study, anger coursing through my veins. I had gone through hell to make sure I got back into his life, and I was not ready to throw that away for anything. No, I had to do something.Walking into my room, I closed the door behind me and placed my back on it. My chest tightened as I raised the divorce papers to my face. I can't sign this. I fling it to the side before walking across my room to sit on the edge of my bed.After hearing Alejandro and Andrea's conversation, I knew something like this was likely to happen. I knew he might want to remove me from his life.I just didn't imagine that he would do so soon. I pace around my room. I should have worked faster if I had known that this would happen.I had brought Lucas here in the hope that he would help in making Alejandro stay home, but it was of no use. Lucas doesn't seem to have more effect on Alejandro as he used to in the past. I made dinner at home, and I went to Alejandro's office to tel

  • Sleeping with my ex-boyfriend's father   Chapter 83

    *Andrea*We were all seated in the sitting room. Alison and Lucas sat on a couch; Lucas had his hands entwined in hers. Austin was seated close to him and scouted closer to me. He noticed that the mood was a bit heavy. “I didn't know you were both in a relationship,” Alejandro said. “I planned on telling you today; I never knew you would bring me here.”The Lucas I know would have jumped from his seat to establish his discomfort in my son and me.“I'm sorry I kept this a secret, Dad. But you kept an even bigger secret,” Lucas said.Last night, I had told Austin that Alejandro was his father. After reading him a book for the night, I asked him, “What do you think of your new friend?” I asked.At first, he was puzzled. It wasn't until I mentioned his name that the realization hit him, and he sat straight, “he is super cool, Mom.” I smiled; he did have a good view of his dad, and that was good. “I wonder if he is single. Do you think he is married?” I froze at his question.“Why are

    *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

  • Sleeping with my ex-boyfriend's father   Chapter 85

    *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.

    *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

  • Sleeping with my ex-boyfriend's father   Chapter 87

    *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

  • Sleeping with my ex-boyfriend's father   Chapter 92

    *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

  • Sleeping with my ex-boyfriend's father   Chapter 91

    *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

  • Sleeping with my ex-boyfriend's father   Chapter 90

    *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

  • Sleeping with my ex-boyfriend's father   Chapter 89

    *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

  • Sleeping with my ex-boyfriend's father   Chapter 88

    *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
