More problems

  AXELL’s POV

  

  Bryson and I stood in silence for a few minutes before he finally spoke up.

  

  “Wait, you think she is married?”

  

  “You think she is not?”

  

  “I mean why would she allow another man to go down on  her if got a husband?”

  

  “I mean you know all these females can be crazy as hell. I will go crazy if she has another man. All these work, all those years”

  

  “How about the plan you had? Is it coming together?”

  

  “I don't know if I will be able to pull it off at this point, man”

  

  “I am sure you can, okay? Come on you have been planning on doing this for a while now”

  

  “Well, that was before this discovery. For all I know she might have a dude somewhere”

  

  “Hey, only one way to find out”

  

  “How?”

  

  “Go ahead with the plan. That is the only way you will know for sure”

  

  “What if she doesn't come? What then?”

  

  “You are the CEO of the school. Come on take a stand man”

  

  

  AVERY’s POV

  

  When we got back into the house I threw my bag on the couch, then I rushed to the kitchen to get a glass of water.

  

  “Okay, who was that handsome man, and why are you so pissed?”

  

  I looked at Camila’s face and shook my head. I mean I don't blame her. Axell is very good-looking, but that was not the point!

  

  “Camila, that was Axell, the guy from the one-night stand, and my boss in school”

  

  “Wait, what? Do you mean that was the guy? Girl, he is so fine!!! What! I couldn't stop staring at his eyes, God!”

  

  I stared at Camila, shook my head, and walked away angrily to my room. I mean I am going through a crisis and all she could think of is how fine Axell looked.

  

  “Hey, wait up. Why are you so mad?”

  

  She ran and followed me into my room. 

  

  “Camila, don't you understand? What I am saying is..”

  

  Logan came out from the toilet, and he stood on a spot like a tree. 

  

  “What is it, baby?”

  I had to ask because I knew he had probably done something wrong. 

  

  “Mummy, the toilet won’t open. So, I.. Sorry mummy”

  

  I stood up from the bed and rushed into the toilet. He had messed up the floor, and that increased my anger. 

  I turned around and looked at his face, and tears rushed down my cheeks. I was so frustrated, but I didn't want to pass the aggression on him. He already looked very scared, and I had to try to not make it worse.

  

  “Sorry, mummy”

  

  He joined me in crying, and I felt very bad. I hugged him and after some minutes I decided to pour cold water on his body to help him relax. Camila offered to wash the floor, but I insisted on doing it instead. 

  

  “Now, take your towel and wipe the water off your body, okay? Then go to bed, huh?”

  

  “Yes, mummy”

  

  While washing the floor I recalled the principal's threat and I grew weak. 

  

  Camila joined me in the bathroom. She locked the door behind her and relaxed her back on the door while I cleaned. 

  

  “So, about what we were saying earlier. What is happening with you two and how is he your boss? You never told me anything about it”

  

  I told her everything including the principal's threat, and she got worried.

  

  “I am very sorry, Avery. Is he doing all these due to how I spoke to him the other day?”

  

  “Well, among other things? Yes”

  

  “Then you have an advantage, Avery”

  

  “What advantage?”

  

  “The owner of the school, someone who can easily teach that Principal of yours a lesson lives opposite you. So, you can easily tell him everything and get that man fired”

  

  “Didn't you hear all that I said? I said I did not want anything with that man ever again! He is so arrogant and full of himself!”

  

  “So, you would rather resign from your job and leave without saying a word, huh? And how about the other ladies? Will you just leave them to their fate? The principal is sleeping with them all! Which is wrong, Avery!”

  

  “That is not my problem, Camila. And who told you that the CEO is any better? For all we know he might be worse. A man who treats a woman like a slut? Oh, please”

  

  *************

  

  In the evening I sat on the porch with Logan eating fruits and watching him do his assignments. Camila had to visit that ungrateful boyfriend of hers. I was tired of advising her to leave him. 

  

  “Mummy, look, did I get it?”

  

  “Yes!”

  

  I gave him an equation to solve, and he did it perfectly. My son might not have a father, but I promised myself to always put him first, and bring him up in a very good and mindful way. I don't want him to ever grow up with one trait from his father. To be a respectful, powerful, and rich gentleman.

  

  “I will give you something else to do, huh?”

  

  “Yes, mummy”

  

  “Now, eat this”

  

  I gave him some Apples I had already cut into pieces. 

  

  While he was eating it. I heard some voices then I turned around and saw Axell, Bryson, and some other men in black walking out from his gate. 

  

  I can not believe I will probably be getting this view every day. I can't stand this man. Well, except for his friend, Bryson, who is so breathtaking. 

  

  I kept staring at Bryson and I didn't even notice Axell was looking up at me. 

  

  “Is the man from earlier? Who is he, mum?”

  

  Logan stood on his chair and looked at Axell. They both waved at each other and Logan smiled happily one would think they had met before. 

  

  “Logan, sit down. What is wrong with you?”

  

  He looked at me, then he looked back at Axell. 

  

  “He looks like someone I know, Mummy”
