She has a son

  AXELL’s POV

  

  Ah, the shock on her face when I said that to her was so pleasing to watch. She was more than surprised that I, the man who she hated, was not only her boss but also her neighbor.

  

  We stood in front of her house without saying anything to each other. She was probably fighting with her thoughts on what to say. 

  

  “You? How.. How are you here? How is that your house? When did you even have the time to move here? Are you kidding me?”

  

  Her confusion was more than pleasing to watch, and I enjoyed it. 

  

  “Well, my men have been working on this place for weeks now, and they are done. So, here I am”

  

  I gave my charming smile to her, but she didn't think anything was funny at that point. She glared at me like she suspected I was planning something. I mean I am planning something, but she doesn't know that. She didn't have to know it. 

  

  “Are you following me? Why in God’s name are you suddenly my boss and owner of the school I work at and the next week you are my neighbor? Does that make any sense to you?”

  

  She sounded like she had a lot of things to say, but was holding back.

  

  “Avery, I can say the same about you. You know that don't you? I mean wherever I turn you are right there like a pest. And it is not my fault that my guards find this house amusing for me to stay, alright?”

  

  “No, you are the one following me like a rodent”

  

  “Do not flatter yourself, lady. You are not all that”

  

  She looked very offended when she heard that, but I didn't care. Women are disposable tissues you can use and dump whenever you like, and I promised myself never to fall for any other lady ever again. 

  

  Before I could walk away, a car parked in front of us, and then a young boy happily jumped out from the front seat to Avery.

  

  Who is he? I muttered to myself.

  

  “Mummy, mummy. How are you? I need to pee”

  

  Mummy? I opened my eyes and stared at her. I was stunned and amazed at the same time. A chubby but beautiful lady also walked over to Avery and held her hands.

  

  “Logan, go into the house and use the toilet in my room, okay?”

  

  “Okay, mummy”

  

  He dropped his bag on the floor and ran inside the house. 

  

  “You have a child? Do you have a son? Wait, are you married?”

  

  “None of your business Mr Axell. You may be my boss, but that is when we meet in the school, but out here you are a total stranger to me. Bye, and thanks for the ride”

  

  She pulled the other lady’s hand and they stomped off angrily into the house. 

  

  I turned around and walked into my house. I was filled with lots of unanswered questions which made me confused. And I was a bit angry too. 

  

  All the men I put on Avery’s tail never told me she had a kid or a husband.

  

  I walked into the house angrily without acknowledging anyone’s greetings. 

  

  I walked straight into my room and called my head guard. 

  

  In no time he was there breathing heavily. 

  

  “You were part of the men who reported to me about the Las Vegas case a few years back, right?”

  

  “Yes, sir. About the lady”

  

  “Yes. Why didn't any of you tell me she had a child?”

  

  “A child? I never.. I thought the child.. I thought the child belonged to her friend”

  

  He swallowed heavily. It was obvious that he was nervous because he could see how angry I was. 

  

  “What do you mean by that Pablo?”

  

  “The little boy was always with the friend and not our target, so I concluded that the other lady was the boy's mother. I am sorry, sir”

  

  I removed my tie, then I placed it on the bed. I walked to him and held his neck with both hands. 

  

  “Do you know what your ‘conclusion’ has caused? Huh?! I told you to be sure about everything before you say them to me!”

  

  “I am sorry, sir. Sir.. Please, sir”

  

  He went down on his knees and my friend, Bryson, quickly barged into the room. 

  

  “What is going on here? Axell, what the fuck”

  

  He pushed my hands off Pablo’s neck and told him to leave. 

  

  “Man, what the fuck was that? That is one of your most trusted guards. He is the head..”

  

  “He fucked up! Oh, my God!”

  

  “What do you mean? What happened? Why are you sweating like you ran a race?”

  

  We both sat on the bed, and I kept sighing out of frustration. 

  

  “Axell, speak to me. What is wrong?!”

  

  “Avery has a son. She has a child!”

  

  He kept quiet for a few minutes. He was in deep thought. When I placed men to stalk Avery, Bryson was against it, but he had no choice.

  

  I had my reasons. 

  

  “Wait, the Las Vegas deal, right? Hold on, I knew that I had seen that lady even before that party. She was the one who you stalked for years, man”

  

  “Yes, you don't need to remind me about that, you twat”

  

  “Okay, fine, fine. How does she have a son? Is she married or something?”

  

  “Exactly my Point! How did I never hear anything about that? They left the crucial part about her, and just brought me crumbs!”

  

  I stood up from the bed and stood in front of the mirror. My hair was scattered all over my face, so I had to fix it. No matter what problem I was in I would always have my hair look neat and rich. 

  

  “Okay, so, why are you so worked up about it? Is it a big deal? I thought you said you were over it?”

  

  “Yes, I am. But, what if I just fucked someone else’s wife? Do you think I want to be that guy? Come on!”
