We all alight at the bus stop and Ajax, cream buns in hand runs over to Lisa,Bella's daughter and gives her a hug, he halves his buns immediately handing one to her. ‘That’s my son', I think pride spreading through me at the interaction. I had gotten it for him when he kept complaining of hunger on our way to the restaurant. I hug Bella too and she glances at Adam at my back giving me a wink. Rolling my eyes, I introduce them while Ajax was already walking to the restaurant with Lisa in tow. ‘So you’re the guy that insulted my friend, huh' Bella skewers him with a cold look and I giggle in the background, ‘Um, huh, wh…’, Adam stammers and Bella burst out laughing. She claps his back, hitting him hard and spurring him into a cough ‘it’s all good, you apologised, I also happen to know that you are the only one that supports her in that large place of work’ Adam stops coughing and sighs in relief his face becoming composed. ‘But such insults will no longer be tolerated, I was on t

The new week met me excited about trying my newly acquired talents on Simon, I walked into my floor with a radiant smile on my face, quite early to be exact. It was the first time I got up before Ajax during the week. Normally, either Ajax or my alarm clock was responsible for waking me up and the way they did was astonishingly similar. With a loud shriek. This time I woke Ajax the same way, about 30 minutes earlier and he was none to happy about that. I itched to battle, granite face for granite face with Simon, ‘Oh, the look on his face, I can't wait to see it’, I giggled out loud and look around the hall to make sure no one was looking at me strangely. Thankfully they were not, everyone was currently preoccupied with settling in for the morning, plus the hall was scantier than usual. The fact that the hall was bare of Miss Debra was another source of excitement. The absence of the condescending looks she always gave me when I rushed in one or two minutes late was a welcome

‘So how did it go', Adam asks immediately I take my seat next to him. ‘I would call it…’, I breath in deeply giving a dramatic pause. ‘A tremendous victory’, I end with a laugh and a little performers bow to the side. He burst out laughing to the annoyance of the coworkers around us, one throws a glare my way and I stare her down, She averts her eyes after a while glare shifting to a look o discomfort, ‘Ha, even the great Simon Valero had a hard time in a staring match against me so who are you?’ I laugh at her flustered look. ‘You see what I did there right’, I turn to Adam and point at the unfortunate coworker with my chin. Adam nods, ‘even Si., Mr. Valero could not bear staring me down talk less of her', Adam laughs again. ‘I guess Bella's lessons paid off' In his excitement Adam did not notice my almost use of Simon’s name and I hoped it stayed that way. We both turn back to work the rest of the day passing by uneventful. While I went to pick Ajax during lunc

‘Coast is clear', I glanced around squinting, my face glued to the clear glass window of the white and black taxi. The glass fogged up from my breath, Adam's raucous laughter distracting me from face identifying everyone on the street. ‘You know you’re beginning to look crazy right’, he wheezes in between bouts of laughter. I look between Adam’s laughing face and the drivers irritable one. Through the rearview mirror, I saw the taxi driver’s brow furry in a frown and his nostrils constrict and dilate with impatience. He opens his mouth to speak, tired of me wasting time. ‘Okay we can leave now', I pull open the door and hurry out Adam on my heels. Adam continues laughing to the annoyance of startled school children walking by. ‘Stop it, you’re being embarrassing’, I hit him to stop his annoying laughter. He only increases it, doubling over and clutching his stomach. ‘Fine! I’m leaving’, I purse my lips in annoyance and turn to go. ‘Wait, wait, okay I’ll stop', he hurries afte

Chapter 30 Empty street stares at me as I round the bend, the street was only dotted with the occasional school child. ‘Whew, thank goodness', I sigh in relief. I walk towards a waiting Ajax, ‘he's not there'. ‘But, he..’, ‘He's not there Ajax, I’ve checked’, I grab and pull a pouting Ajax. ‘Imagine, seeing Adam here, it would be hard to explain what he was doing here without it pointing to something bad', I think while transferring Ajax. ‘I don’t think I would be able to take it if he had ulterior motives for befriending me', relief courses through me again and again. Checking my watch as I walk back into my department floor, I see that I’m 3 minutes late. I hoped no one took notice as i turn back to my computer, ‘I wouldn’t want Simon to start asking questions again'. My peace is continuously disturbed by an annoying gaze and I remember why I hurried out to pick up Ajax before. ‘Psst’, I nudge Adam. ‘Do you mind dealing with that', I point at Miss Janet that was stating

The TV remote could have cracked from how hard I clutched it. Immediately I got the call from Adam, the alarm in his voice spurred me out of be faster than I could blink.I pressed down on the red button waiting for the TV to turn on, it took a while blinking to life after a few seconds of me holding my breath.It’s probably due to the fact that it had not been used for a long time but that thought took the back seat in my mind as I flipped through the channels away from cartoons and animation.Clutching the remote like it was my lifeline, my mind thinks back to the different times when a single news was enough to get me to uproot my life from one place and run to another.Just the news about one journalist or YouTuber getting wind about the whereabouts of Simon's ex- wife was enough to get me packing.It always ended up with them finding about my street, my exact house number, the places I worked but I would have been long gone by then.A few weeks of staying in hiding in whatever n

‘It will be best if Miss Tina goes', my eyes turn to the person who utters those words and I fix the person with a burning stare. Although I was sure everyone was thinking that way but the person was really unfortunate to actually voice it out. Annoyance and anger burn in me hardening my gaze, Taking a step back from my piercing gaze, said person averts his eyes. I turn my eyes back to the rest of the crowd who silently agreed with his statement. Betrayal fills me and I’m close to flaring up at them. ‘Why do I even feel betrayed', this question crosses my mind as I look at their pitiful looks and averted eyes. ‘Not that they actually cared about me', I remember the same coworkers who said unbelievable things about me and spared no time in throwing me under the bus. My anger leaves, and I’m left feeling deflated. Resignation dawns on me as I discover that there’s was no way out of this. They had not said anything yet but the looks on their faces solidifies the fact that they wo

The crack of something hitting the door echoes in my ears, whatever it was smashed to the ground and a annoying thought strays into my mind.‘Would I have been the unfortunate door? getting hit in the head just because if his anger had I not scrambled from his sight as fast as possible',Relief sagging my shoulders, I rest on the said door and exhale a breathe I didn’t know I was holding in.‘To think I was eager to see him show weakness, emotion or anything to show he was not an actual block of ice and cold stares', I drag in a breath again,The look on his face was murderous, fury rolled off him in waves and the few seconds I spent in his presence was enough for me to see the hard set of his jaw and hear the repetitive sound of his teeth grind.To put it simply, his weakness wasn’t pretty, and apart from cold looks and icy stares the only other emotion he showed was anger, in various degrees.Thinking about it, I could count on my fingers the number of times I had seen him smile, T

‘Your son', I scoff loudly, repeating his words.‘And what gave you the notion that he your son',‘What makes you so sure', my soles scuff tiles as I start pacing the length of the yard, letting some of my pent up anger leak out through my steps,‘Really Tina', he calls my name, and the displeasure in his words match mine,‘Are we really going to sit here and debate Ajax's paternity’, his voice is gruff, dropping lower with each word,‘He’s not', I shake my head from left to right as I pass Simon’s front repeatedly in my pacing,‘You told him yourself’, it rises again, ‘Ajax confirmed it', he grabs my hand again, forcing me to look at him.‘Even a child!!’, his face is all hardness, jaw clenched and grinding, as he punctuates the word,‘Even a child can see that we're father and son', his voice is gruff, as he finishes and his eyes darken, stormy orbs in a face of fury.I try to turn away from him, to turn away from his fury that infuriated me further, and continue pacing.
The Arrogant Billionaire's Redemption Awe to anger
The door swings shut behind me, The noise of my sneakers hitting cement as I rushed along the driveway echoed in my ears,Drowning out the sound of the grass swaying gently in the evening breeze, louder than the sound of birds chirping from the trees,I side step the water fountain without so much as a glance at its sculpted glory,My eyes rests on those large double doors, that separated me from my son, willing it to disintegrate,Instead it does something different, swinging open, parting slowly, revealing Simon as I stomp up tiled steps.The large smile on his face was nonexistent to me, his arms open wide in greeting a momentary confusion as I sidestep him, pushing into the mansion, My heart was beating too fast in my chest, my footsteps echoing too loud in my ears for me too even regard him,To even do the simple task of asking his reason,So I ignore him, turning laser-like focus on finding my son and getting out of this largeness that had me feeling like I was drowni

Air got sucked from my lungs, like I just received a strike to the gut,‘No', I shake my head as my grip on my phone tightens,‘That can’t be true', my head keeps turning from left to right in unbelief as the click of the call ending sounded.I take the phone off my ear, bring it to the front of my face,‘That can’t be possible’, my brain felt waterlogged, my ears clogged as the noise of school children fades out.The only sound around was my heart, beating like the tick of a clock, resounding in my ears, echoing in my head,‘No', I shake my head again and call his school teacher,‘She’s probably mistaken’,‘There was no way he could be with Simon', My fingers shake against my screen as I scroll through my contacts,The first call goes to voicemail, ‘Pick up for Christ sake’, I swear under my breathe, dialing her number again,‘Could it be Adam?’‘But he would never refer to himself as Ajax’s father’, my mind swirls as the phone rings on, no sign of it being picked up.
The Arrogant Billionaire's Redemption Confession
By the time it was lunch my head was on a spin, on a whirlpool of frustration, I sat still, my hands folded in my lap,but my heart was on fire, my mouth burned like I was chewing on hot gum.The heat bled onto my palms, drawing sweat, that I wiped repeatedly against ash-gray pants, ‘At this point, I will never be able to tell him', I mused as I stared at the dark streaks my hands created, the creases from repeatedly fisting it's fabric in my hands.‘If only he didn’t smile those face splitting smiles whenever our eyes met’‘If only he didn’t look at me with such affection in his eyes'‘Maybe it would be easier to tell him if I wasn’t risk….’,‘Where should we eat today’, my musings get interrupted and I look up at him.We’d been so absorbed with each other the last week yet anytime my eyes met those ones shining with affection, a wave of unfamiliarity courses through me, a war between elation and fear ensues.‘Let’s just order in', I hide my surprise, the battle raging in
The Arrogant Billionaire's Redemption Inevitables
Time moved slowly, sluggishly, like my heart,It's sound, a turbid rhythm in my chest, like wading in mud water, dragging my head through varying degrees of shock,Of all things I anticipated, expected, planned for, this was the least of them.I didn't even think it possible, it was not a scenario I saw happening, My eyes watch, sluggishly, same as my heart at the teardrop that track Ajax's cheek trailing onto his lap.‘He's dad, isn’t he?’, he says it again, and my head rears back in a whiplash.The fact that he repeated it, a statement this time, proved the extent of the situation, it was a testament to how much of a mess I was in.‘Why is he not here with us?'‘Did he do something bad?', ‘Is dad a bad man?’, with each question, his voice raises, bordering on hysterics, fat tears rolling down his cheeks.‘Why don’t you want me to meet him?', he asks again, yet my mind travels, trying to pinpoint what could have given it away,I had been very careful to never mention the
The Arrogant Billionaire's Redemption A different kind of guilt
For a moment I considered coming clean, telling him the truth of a son he never knew about, but the fear in my heart was stronger,So I chew slowly, bidding my time to formulate something believable, something that wouldn’t allow the serious expression his face had taken into something darker.I tried to formulate something that would allow me to keep this warm bubble we had built around ourselves,A bubble I was not keen on letting go off so soon.My head was a mess, strung between telling the truth and fumbling for lies,I had thought I was over this, relief had filled me when I found that he didn’t hear Ajax’s name fro Lisa's lips.I finish chewing and keep the smile on my face, deciding on the easy way out,‘He’s no one you should be bothered about', it was hard, dismissing my son as someone unimportant, yet it was easier than risking him taking Ajax away from me.I hoped it would be enough for him, my reassurance would be enough to quell questions he was suddenly keen on
The Arrogant Billionaire's Redemption "Jealousy is good"
Relief floods my insides and I let out a breath I didn’t know I was holding in as the bell jangled, signifying their exit.‘I’ll be back in a minute', standing up, I head to the table they just left, clearing the pile of coloring books and crayons.Head chef had been so nice, allowing Ajax and Lisa in the restaurant for as long as they liked, but it won’t be fair to hog a table after they were gone, so I clear them up heading to the back room and placing them with Bella's things.I catch a glance of Cathy’s befuddled expression as I enter, knowing she would have pelted me with questions if she wasn’t attending to a customer.Stepping out, she’s done and I take a deep breath waiting for the maelstrom to begin.‘That’s Simon Valero right, theee Simon Valero', she draws closer to me and I stare, patiently nodding as she fires,‘Only son and child of Alicia Valero?, heir to SM group Simon Valero?’, her voice pitches with the last question and I finally use my words.‘Yeees', ‘To

‘You know you have to stop looking at the door whenever a customer walks in, you’re no longer a waitress', the sound of Bella's voice trickles to me, sounding at the back of my mind,Her statement was inconsequential in comparison with the drop of my heart to the pit of my stomach, the look of horror making a home on my face‘You're a…..’, she trails off as she follows my line of sight to the source of my predicament,‘Uh oh!’, she exclaims,Simon had walked in and was currently looking about the restaurant, a relaxed air about himI drop my head between my hands, hiding behind my hair, hoping he hadn’t seen me.‘That’s very fruitless, he has seen you already', I glance up again and my eyes meet eyes that lights up immediately they meet mine.‘What in the world is he doing here?’, I whisper yell, asking Bella and she shrugs,I quickly smoothen out my face, wipe horror off it as I face a smiling Simon sashaying towards me.My eyes turn towards the corner where Ajax and Lisa we
The Arrogant Billionaire's Redemption Bubbles
My eyes blur, my view of the clouds rolling by dimming,‘Simon!!’, I cry out his name, my abdomen and butt clenching as my orgasm trickles down my thighs, dripping unto the sheets beneath me when he finishes,He comes up to place a kiss on my lips and I taste my juices on his mouth.He drops beside me pulling me to him and for a while I could do nothing, only be pliant as he entwines our limbs together, I could only work on evening my breathing past the feeling of satiety engulfing me.Simon drags my head to his chest, wrapping his hands around me and I descend from the clouds to the feeling of Simon stroking my hair repeatedly.‘That was…’, I trail off, searching for the right word to use as I look up to see Simon smiling at me‘That was amazing', my voice pitches as I finally decide on the word and I rest my head on his chest again,‘I know', pride fills his tone, voice cocky,‘No need to gloat about it', I slap his chest as I speak, lifting myself up with my other hand, t
