Chapter 42
Hayley.
The next day goes by too quickly and before I know it, its time for Xander to leave again. He drives to the airstrip and I have tears in my eyes the whole way there. He reassures me its just for a few days and that he will call every chance he gets.
Which he does. He calls and texts throughout the day making me feel so much better. It’s only when I climb into our king size bed that the loneliness creeps in again but Xander video calls and we talk for hours before both our eyes start to droop and we say goodnight.
I open my eyes to switch off the alarm on my phone. Damn, its back to work today. I can’t wait for my last day so I don’t have to wake up this early anymore. I decide to get up instead of pressing snooze which I usually do. Tash and I are meeting after work today so I need the extra time to pick out something extra nice to wear to our lunch. I decide on jeans and a pre

Hayley I stand under the hot shower spray thinking about the days events. I can’t believe the nerve of Keith. Offering me an affair, like what the fuck…and drugging me…I still can’t believe all of that happened. How did he even know where I would be?I still feel pretty out of it and I’m so angry I want to scream. If I never lay eyes on that asshole Keith again, it will be too soon. How did I never see the type of person he was until it was too late?I wish Xander were here. I feel terrible about lying to him but I know him well enough to know he would of been on the first flight out…again… and I can’t do that to him. He would also rip Keith apart. Of that I am sure but I would rather keep all of this in the past. Besides if Keith ever shows up again, I will kill him myself.I turn the water off and try to step out of the shower b

Hayley We are all sitting at the dining room table the next day having a feast of a lunch prepared by chef when the dogs go crazy, whining and running in circles in front of the main door.“What’s up girls? Do you need to go outside?”Just then the front door opens and in steps Xander.I am out of my seat in seconds and manage to squeeze my way between the dogs kissing and jumping up on Xander to get my hug in. I can hear the others at the table laughing at the attention the dogs and I are giving Xander.“Hey babe,” Xander grins at me while holding me close.“Welcome home,” I grin back.Gran and the guys meet us halfway to greet Xander who takes a minute to walk up to Sebastian who is patiently waiting in a corner of the room to be acknowledged. He bends down to pick him up, &ld

HayleyYou know how they say one lie snowballs into another and then another….well its true. If I had just told Xander the truth about that night, I wouldn’t be here. Why was I even trying to hide it. I did nothing wrong but now if I say anything it is going to look like I had something to hide. I can’t lose Xander. Damn. Whoever sent me these pictures could send them to him too.I hear the water stop in the shower and about 10 minutes later Xander comes out in just a black track pants, rubbing his wet hair dry. Damn but this man is fine. He throws the towel aside and sits on the bed beside me.“What are you looking at?”“What?...Oh nothing, just some old pictures.” I cant lie to this man, but how do I tell him. I have to tell him, but how?“Babe, you don’t look well. Come here…” Xander reaches

Xander I scroll through image after image of Haley with some guy all over her.“Hayley what is this?” I ask as I turn the phone to face her so she can see the pictures.She looks at the phone and then at me.“I can explain.”No good sentence ever started that way, at least not in my world. I am seeing red at another guy touching my wife but more so, her letting him. Holding on by a thread I keep quiet. I want to hear this explanation.Just then Charles walks in and greets us, “Sir, Mam…can I get you some refreshments?”“No thanks, Charles. Hayley and I are on our way upstairs.” I motion for Hayley to go ahead of me up the stairs. I enter the room after her and close the door behind me and lean against it. She turns slowly to face me. She looks like a deer caug

Xander I enter the security pin again at the front door. Daisy, Kyle's housekeeper is busy dusting in the foyer. She turns to see who entered and a smile breaks out on her weathered face when she sees it’s me.“Xander! It's so lovely to see you.”I hug the elderly woman in greeting, “It is lovely to see you too Daisy. Is Kyle around?”“He's in the garage.”“Thanks Daisy.”I find Kyle with his laptop attached to a sleek black Subaru. It is his project car and he’s tweaking it for racing. The music is blasting in the background so he doesn’t notice my entrance.“Ahem" I say to announce my presence and he almost drops the laptop in surprise. Luckily we both reach for it at the same time and manage to save it.“Xander, bro did

Hayley I watch Xander’s Range rover until I can’t see it anymore. I think I’m in shock. I lift my hands and wipe my wet face with my fingers. I slowly turn and walk up the main staircase to my room. What have I done? My reasons for not telling him don’t even make sense anymore. The tears start rolling down my face again as I stare into the distance with unseeing eyes. Oh God what have I done?Xander is the best thing that has happened to me. How could I have screwed this up so badly? I have to make this right. I grab my phone and dial Xander’s cellphone number. As the phone rings in my ear, I hear Xanders ringtone and turn to see his cellphone charging on the side table. He didn’t take his phone with him.I fall back onto the bed and hold Xander’s pillow to my chest. Big ugly sobs rack my body. God how do I make this right? I am such an idiot. He

Hayley I can’t concentrate on work. I think of Xander and I being at odds with each other and I randomly tear up. I thought him showing up this morning was a good sign but now honestly I don’t know. I’m actually scared about him picking me up later. What if he says he doesn’t want to be with me anymore? What will I do?Stop it Hayley. Stop playing the victim. Make him hear you. You were stupid but you didn’t do anything maliciously. When he calms down he will see that. God I miss him so much. I miss him holding me and sleeping next to me.I thought work would distract me but its even harder trying not to cry around people. I could see a few people looking at me funny and I had to lie about my eyes being swollen due to allergies.I spend the whole day at work being miserable. Even the busyness of the lab isn’t enough to distract me. When home time

Xander Seeing the doc, makes the whole drugging episode so real. He asks us to take a seat as he retrieves the results from his bag.“Hayley, I know you are in the medical field so I will let you take a look at this.”Hayley takes the medical report from the doctor and slowly goes through it. Her eyes widen on something and I can tell the change in her demeanour means its something serious.“You did a Beta-HCG test?”“Yes dear its standard practice in a case like yours.”“Wait. What’s a beta-HCG test?”Hayley keeps quiet but the doc responds, “It’s a pregnancy test Xander.”“A what test?” I say looking at Hayley.“Congratulations son, your wife's pregnant.”
