Chapter 2

Seven years later, a woman in a black shade and an expensive blue gown sat on a stool in a well known design company, popularly known as 'Energy Designs and Cometics.' She was carrying a six year old extraordinary handsome boy on her lap and they were chatting happily. One could tell that this was a mother and her son. 

Different customers had been coming inside the company since morning and they would just purchase what they want and leave. However, some particular customers came in and demanded to see the CEO of the company. The staffs had to tell these customers that the CEO was unavailable. 

Actually, the woman who was carrying the baby and seated in one side of the hall was the CEO but she had instructed her staffs to tell anyone who asks of the CEO to be told that she's unavailable. 

"Do you not have an idea of who is demanding to see your CEO?" one of the customers who was a male, asked. Apparently, these particular customers are two males and one female. 

The staff before them cowered, "I'm sorry but the CEO is unavailable." 

"Then this place will be closed down until your CEO is available," the man who just finished speaking said. 

This infuriated the woman carrying her son, actually, this woman was Asa and that cute boy he's carrying on her lap was her beautiful son, Afred. Afred was a product of the one night stand she had seven years ago. 

"Alfred, why don't you go upstairs and play with your toys, I need to deal with some customers." Asa said to the boy. The little one nodded and walked upstairs. 

Then she walked towards where these customers stood. At once, she recognized one of the men, he was the man she had sex with seven years ago. Well, she paid him so it's no big deal. 

"I assume you are the manager here?" The particular customer that had been speaking asked, "My master needs a specially made custom design for his bride to be." 

Bride to be? The man she had sex with seven years ago is getting married now. Wow... She took a closer look at the 'bride to be' and although her face seems familiar, she couldn't place where she knows her anymore. 

"Well, I'm not the manager. I'm the CEO." Asa said proudly. "My name is Asa by the ways." 

"Well, mine is Timofel, so can you lead me to your office and we can talk." He said. "There is this design we saw on your company's website, the one with three logos, that's the one we want." 

"That one... It's a custom design. Took me lots of efforts, unfortunately, I design it for myself." She said. "I can't make such design for anyone." 

"There are many designs here, you can choose one of it." She said. 

"We don't want any of these, that one with three logos is the one my boss's fianceé wants," Timofel said. 

"I told you just now I can't make it. If you don't want any of the designs here, you may just leave," she said. She could not help but keep glancing at the quiet man behind Timofel, the man she had a night stand with years ago. She wondered why he was quiet, she also wondered if he remembers her. The most important thing is for her to stay as far away from him cause she doesn't want him to know about his her. 

"You are rude!" Timofel rebuked, "you must make this design and you must do that in three days." 

"No man born of a woman can force me to do what I'm not willing to do. And who in the world did you think you are, Timofel?" She asked angrily. She would never make that design for anyone. The design means so much to her. 

The man behind Timofel made a gesture, Timofel understood and the three adults turned at once and walked away. 

She was a little confused with what just happened. Why did they suddenly walk away? Did they have a plan for her? Who is he? Could he be a powerful somebody? She walked quickly to the window in an attempt to have a glimpse of the type of car they brought but they already dissapeared. 

They can't do anything to her, she made herself confident even as she find her way upstairs. She had barely sat in her office when another knock came in. 

"Who is it again?" She asked in a loud voice. 

The door opened and a man walked in. She recognized this man immediately, this was her ex husband, Oleg. 

She hadn't seen him since she divorced him seven years ago, "what do you want? And what right do you have to enter my office? I do not remember having any appointment with you?" 

He went to sit with half his ass on her table and crossed his legs, "sweetheart, why didn't you tell me you have my son?" 

"What do you mean by that?" 

Then he made a gesture and Alfred was brought in by two tall and burly men, they were holding Alfred in both arms. Asa ran to them and snatched her son away from them but the two burly men didn't fight back at all. 

She held her son protectively and said, "my son isn't yours. Now get out of my office." 

Oleg cackled, "I already made it clear seven years ago after you caught me having sex with your stepmom that I don't love you and the truth is, I never will. So I'm not here because of you, I'm here because of my son. Why have you hid him from me?" 

"He's not your son. Get out of here, you nincompoop!" She said angrily. 

Oleg smirked wickedly and stood upright, he looked at the little one and said, "son, what's your name?" 

However, Alfred was scared of him so he didn't respond. Oleg looked at Asa as if she was the one who told Alfred not to respond. "I'm coming tomorrow to claim him. Mentally prepare yourself." Then he walked away with the two men that brought Alfred. 

Once they dissapeared, she quickly examined Alfred to be sure he was fine then she ran out to meet her receptionist, "how did they get inside?" 

"They took our security men down, we actually thought they came to rob you ma," the receptionist said. 

She sighed and walked back upstairs, why is today an unfortunate day. First, she met the man she had a night stand with seven years ago and on the same day, her ex husband appeared, trying to claim her baby. 

She looked at Alfred who was seated on the couch in the office and said to him, "that man is not your dad, okay?"

"Okay mommy." The little one answered. 

She exhaled deeply and slapped her forehead in frustration.
