MaxI sighed in exasperation as I pulled up beside the curb, close to the fence and glanced up at the familiar white building I was slowly getting accustomed to. I couldn't believe that I was about to do this. This was worse than a fucking nightmare.How would he take it? Would he be offended? Would he be mad at me for not showing up all these years? But I hadn't a goddamn clue because his mother never informed me, and here I was still doubting the truth that was right in front of me.I had the evidence. Enough of them; the DNA test, his features... everything. Yet, somehow it felt so strange. So sudden. I felt as though I was having a bad dream and any moment now Elaine would pinch my cheeks and tell me it wasn't true. That he wasn't mine, or hers, and we could go back to having hot sex sessions and weekend vacations.I couldn't stop myself from loathing her so much. She had no right. No fucking right to keep something this huge from me for so many years. I didn't think I could ever

MaxI sat quietly at the head of the dinning table, watching Finn as he fiddled with his Scrabble tiles, arranging words and calculating. I couldn't sit still. It was hard to believe, seeing my mini-me seated right in front of me, displaying his startling intelligence.I didn't know exactly how long I'd stayed watching him like this. I didn't care. I might as well watch him forever, admiring the way his brows knitted together in concentration. “We've been in here for way too long, Finn,” I said softly as I ruffled his blond curls. “Don't you wanna go out and ride your bike?”He turned his big, blue adorable eyes to me. “But it's spoilt.”Shit.I frowned in disappointment. “Oh.”“But Mommy said she's gonna get me a new one soon. She told me not to ride that old one because I might get injured.”“Alright then,” I glanced around. “Got any toy trucks around?”He shook his head. “No. But I've got books. I've got Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Wanna read to me?”Oh, fudge. This was way worse than I'

ElaineI hummed softly to myself as I rearranged my desk, trashing worthless pieces of papers and sorting the manuscripts needed for the final review so I could hand them over to Max. It was a brand new Monday morning, and the long weekend haul was surprisingly refreshing.When I'd gotten home after job hunting the other day, Finn looked utterly pleased to have had Max around and gutted to see him leave. I had a wrecked home as proof of just how much fun they'd had. Max, too, seemed to be handling everything quite well. I'd sat with my mouth hanging open as they made arrangements to go out for a playdate on Thursday. Apparently, Max was taking the day off to spend time with him.It all felt so surreal. Too good to be true.He told me I could come back to the office, and although I'd pretended to be disinterested, I had to accept his offer back. I needed to keep a close watch on him, and also, he'd offered a generous salary raise as well.We'd been civil to each other all morning. Turn

ElaineOn Thursday afternoon, I got out of the cab I'd boarded and crossed the street, moving towards the supermarket, my grocery list in hand. After so many months of saving, I finally had enough to pay for my rent for at least a year. I was so excited, and I couldn't hide the spring in my step. My next plan was to save up some more for Finn's education, and also to get him some new shoes and wears. I knew I could do it.“Good afternoon, Miss Elaine,” Pat, the security greeted me as he pushed open the door. I nodded in acknowledgement and slipped into the familiar store. Before I could locate the beverage section, my phone began ringing loudly. I pulled it out of my purse, my brows knitting together when it turned out to be Cora calling.“Hey, girl,” I said with a smile. “Are you home now? Max and Finn — ”“Oh...my... fucking God, Elaine,” she squealed breathlessly. “You're never going to believe it!”My frown deepened. “What's happening?”“Max has completely gone nuts! He went out w

ElaineI took the stairs, two at a time, my chest heaving. I still couldn't understand why I was feeling so unsettled. As I neared Finn's room, I heard Max's low chuckle, followed by Finn's loud shriek. Burning with curiousity on what they were up to, I grabbed the door handle, pushing lightly.“Come on, Finn, my boy. Bounce higher!” Max screamed.“I... can't...go...any...higher than this, Daddy!” Finn replied breathlessly, launching himself higher, on his heels, on the bed. I stared at the both of them jumping in sync, my eyes popping out of their sockets in shock.“Oh, my goodness! Finn!” I gasped, rushing in. “What do you think you're doing? I warned you never to jump on your bed!”My blood boiled as I glared from him to Max, and back to him. He stopped bouncing, falling on his back. Max beckoned on him to hide behind his back. I stared at the both of them in horror, not believing what I'd just seen.“Hi, Mommy,” Finn muttered quietly, taking a shy peek at me from Max's back. “It's

Elaine“We're here,” Max announced as we pulled up in front of his fancy mansion, grinning at Finn over his shoulder. “This is it, my boy. Daddy's humble home, and yours as well.”“Oh my goodness, really?” Finn gasped, jumping excitedly. I managed an eye roll and sat back with an exhale. I didn't know why I felt so sour. Maybe it due to the scent of the new leather exterior and Finn's seat.“It's so big, Daddy!” Max chuckled, unbuckling his seatbelt. I watched, face scrunched up in disgust as he got out and went over to help Finn out. “I'm glad you like it. Wait till you see the inside.”“Yippe!” Finn clapped in glee. “Thanks for bringing me here, Daddy. I love our house.”I resisted the urge to drag a hand down my face. Could this situation get any more pathetic? I didn't know if I could survive it. “We better get moving because I'll be taking Finn back with me once your thirty minutes is up,” I huffed harshly as I unbuckled my seatbelt. “He just started preschool recently and has

Elaine“How dare you be so controlling, Max?” I yelled, jabbing his chest forcefully. “It is my life, and he's my son as well. I've been working under you for long, while still taking good care of him. You think I can't multitask?”“I don't think, I know,” he growled. “Finn comes first. Your job can wait.”I shake my head. “You selfish son of a bitch. You think that I'm weak? You've only known him for a week and suddenly you feel like you know what's best for him? Cora and I have been watching after him since birth, while still going about our individual jobs. I'm not incapacitated, and he will always come first. So butt out, and stop acting like a self-entitled jerk from hell.”He narrowed his eyes, his brows perking up in surprise. “I'm a jerk?”“Well, of course! You're worse than a jerk, and listen to this, real good," I fumed, poking my index finger at his chest. “You don't get to tell me what to do. It's my life. We're only sharing a son. Nothing more.”His lips stretched into a

Elaine“I should be the one asking you that, Elaine,” he bristled, his eyes glazing over as he observed my dressing critically. “What are you doing here?”My heart lurched at his cruel tone. “Don't look at me that way. You know why I'm here. For my interview. To work. I can't take your absurd requests seriously.”“You were ready to honour my ‘absurd’ requests last week,” he pointed out with a scoff.I rolled my eyes, equally folding my arms over my chest. “That was because you fooled me that you were in love with me. That I could count on you no matter what.”“What the hell are you driving at, Elaine? Of course everything I felt was true, and you know that. You're the one who decieved me. You played on my affections for you and I'm so fucking pissed.”“So you figured that the best option next for you is to control me? To keep me at home, sitting pretty in the couch, lonely and desolate while I pine and feel regretful over our scarred relationship? If you want to act like a selfish, in

ElaineBeep, beep.I jerked awake, my legs knocking off something from the desk as I squinted in the darkness, my head throbbing with a killer headache. Sitting up, I gasped when I realized I was on nothing but my underwear, the unfamiliar blanket draped across my body heavily. Shit. Where the fuck am I?Shooting up to my feet, I began to search for my dress frantically. The time read four thirty in the evening and I shrieked in horror. Cora had a lot of assessments to get done at the office so I was the one to pick up Finn. The preschool had dismissed over an hour ago.God. How could I have let this happen?I whirled around in fright as the door creaked open behind me. A tall man with wavering blond hair stepped in with a flashlight. I grabbed the blanket to cover myself, yelling. “Where the hell is this place? Who are you?”He ignored me, taking a few more steps forward. I couldn't see his face clearly, making me so scared stiff. Subtly searching for something I could use and defen

I murmured a silent prayer as the cab pulled up in front of Max's gate, climbing out and handing the driver the usual ten dollar bill. “If you don't mind waiting for me, I just want to check if my baby boy's here. I won't take long. I promise.”He nodded and I half ran towards the gate, pressing the doorbell as hard as I could. The sound of the lock turning had my heart thumping loudly. God, please let Finn be safe. The security man slid out, his scrawny face brightening the minute he saw me. “Ma'am? You're finally here.”“Good evening,” I mumbled breathlessly. “Is Finn here? I'm sorry I overslept and forgot to go pick him up.”He nodded in understanding, which made me feel relieved. “Yes. Sir Sturm brought him home over an hour ago. You can come in.”“I'll go dismiss the driver then,” I hurried off towards the cab, told him off, and returned back to the gate, my hair sticking out in every angle. I couldn't remember when last I felt so disorganized...so out of place. This was so unlik
