Chapter five

“She came by today at my office,”

“What did she want now?”

“She told me she only wanted to talk and she thinks that she needs to move back at my mansion.”

“How long has she been out of the mansion and what caused her to leave?”

“She’s been out so the mansion for about three months now, I know what you are thinking, nope I didn’t chase her away. It all started a year ago when she was about four months pregnant with Danielle, I was happy, I knew we were happy so I did what a logical man can do, I proposed. She looked happy but I didn’t know those were some façade. A few weeks after I proposed, she begun coming home later than usual , not wanting to spend time with Danny ,even though she never spend a lot of time with him. I didn’t notice right away. One night while I was on a business trip, one of my maids called me and informed me that Danny was crying alone and he couldn’t calm down. I asked the maid to tell his mother since she was around and she said her phone was going to voicemail. I was confused a moment until I was told she has not been seen in the house since the day I left. A business trip which was supposed to last three weeks was cut short on the sixth day.

I came home to find my scared son alone, refusing to eat all sad. Anne never came home that night or the night after or the next two weeks, I had ordered my staff not to inform her of my return. The day of her return, she was brought home by a man who I came later to discover is a business owner like me. She denied everything and begun picking fights anytime. One day she said she only has my kids since I had money. When Danielle was born, she became more distant. My princess was never breastfed, but she made it through and here she is. After she was born, I made sure to have a DNA test. I was glad she was mine.

Anne became more distant never coming home at all, while there she was, supposed to be breastfeeding. I had to cut through my work schedule and make time for my kids. Since Ellie was born, I have lost most deals since im never available most of the times. My best friend, Arnold, helps me look after them, and through him, he connected me to Kate’s daycare which helps me a lot nowadays. Kate is his cousin. Anne moved out claiming she was tired of me and the always crying kids. What Danny said to you the other days was true she was shouting at the top of her voice claiming she hated all of us and wanted nothing to do with us. Two weeks ago out of nowhere she sends me a letter claiming she is filing for the custody of the kids.

Yesterday she claimed she just wanted Danny alone that I can remain with Danielle. I can’t let that witch win the custody.” He finished anger and determination evident on his face. He looked hot!

“I will make sure of that; she doesn’t deserve them “he smiles at my reassurance. He has a cute smile I notice. Next time she comes near the office make sure to record the conversation.” I state finally. Cue to that, Ellie starts crying, I decide to pick her up from the sofa I had placed her as she fell asleep. Her father goes to pick her up but I beat him to it.

Ellie snuggles into my chest and starts calming down a little. What she does next surprises both her father and me, my t-shirt being a V neck makes her mission a success. She stretches her shorter hands and reaches for my left breast. Since it is a bit lower, she manages. Pulling at it and trying to put her mouth on my nipple. Forgetting that Miles is the room, my motherly instincts kick in, I lift my shirt a bit higher, since I had no bra, it was easier, I lowered her into my left nipple and she started sucking. I expected Elli to stop suckling air but to my surprise, I started feeling as milk or whatever it was, being suckled. At first, I felt pain like the first time I had breastfed Pearl three years ago. I had stopped breastfeeding him about four months ago since my mum said that was too much, what surprised me most is that, my breast milk was still a lot before I stopped. I looked at Elli who was calmly but painfully sucking my breasts as if it would run away. If Miles hadn’t told me she was never breast fed before, I still could have noticed.

“How?” a voice I had forgotten about asked me.

“I stopped breastfeeding Pearl a few months ago.” I state not realizing I am half naked in front of him. It actually felt natural, Elli breastfeeding, Miles staring naturally as parents do….wait what!
