View More“ Say something,” Alex said, his tone lace with concern. He had followed her almost immediately she left and was relieved when she was the one who opened the door even though he could see her detest for his presence so much that even Rose's presence couldn't turn her frown, but she let him in without a word she walked straight to the kitchen and sat on one of the chairs around the kitchen island. He could tell she had been seated there probably since she came home , her face looking aged by worry.He sat on the vacant chair next to hers, while Rose ran around playing, occasionally calling for his attention but he was too concern for what Venassa was thinking to join the little girl, could do anything to make her smile it pained him to see her like that.“ What do you want me to say?” She asked when he had lost all hope that she would talk to him.“Say anything, tell me what you are feeling, what you are thinking please” he had her hands held in his hand while the other lifted her chi
To say she was angry was an understatement, Alex had struck a nerve, she thought he was better than that dragging her poor baby into his drama.“Should we stop at the police? '' James asked as soon as he started the car she nodded her head in the negative. And even though she could see his disagreement in his eyes he had kept quiet and kept driving, and Jenny on the other hand was still crying and mumbling, she wanted tell her it was alright but was too angry to talk so the ride home was a painful quiet one except for the annoying radio that everyone was stone to off, and when they got home nobody said a word.Alex will be expecting her to call. She knew of that but she wasn't prepared to give him what he wanted. She's going to wait, she vowed but as soon as she stepped into her quiet apartment she knew it was going to be harder than she expected.She watched Jenny walk past her and sat on the couch probably thinking she wasn't making any effort to locate her daughter. She needed to
If Alex had any doubt he is sure this is his daughter now and he is sure he is getting Vanessa back he just has to make her listen and understand.He was on his way to the golf club when he spotted her play with a little girl, he didn't just assumed she was her daughter, he just got carried away by how beautiful they had looked so much that he couldn't help but ask the driver to stop for some reason he wanted to get a closer look is like he was hypnotized by them, he was shocked the girl called her Mama that could mean only want thing.He had wanted to confirm then and there but how could he explain his presence? He knew she would just assume he is stalking her now and she had been threatening him with a restraining order. He doesn't want to give her any reason to act on it, not that it's going to stop him from seeing her.And when she kicked him out of her apartment later that evening it only confirmed his claims he has a daughter, a four year old daughter, he knew he wasn't going to
She stood there like a statue while Rose screamed for her father, was she wrong to deny them that, was she wrong in assuming the worst and think he might one day hurt Rose to, was she selfish she felt worse than the night he left her, at least then she could shield Rose from all this.“ I want him!I want my Daddy!” Rose screamed, bringing her back to reality.“Okay Baby, your Daddy will come” she managed to say, patting her back to calm her dawn.“No!” She screamed “ I want him now you set him out i want him”Rose wanted to say he is not your Daddy but she doesn't want to lie about something like this.“ We will go get him tomorrow after school,” she said instead.But in her heart she knew that was also a lie she was just buying time and hoping Rose will forget about this at least for now. Rose didn't say a word but she was calming down at least so she decided it's better to just say nothing to.She picked her up like a baby and sat on a sofa with her on her lap. The crying had stoppe
“Look Mama a puppy” Rose called out and pointed as she had done whenever she spotted one.Vanessa giggled and kissed her forehead, Rose was hell bent on convincing her to get them a dog and she felt it was too much work for her and Jenny.“We will get one when you're old enough to take care of it,” she said, dusting off sand from her knee. She had agreed to spend time with her this weekend and was somehow tricked into coming to the park. Rose was an outdoor person like her father, Vanessa would rather stay in and sleep, watch movies or tend to her garden if she had one, “I can take care of it Mama,” she said with a familiar smile and her best puppy eyes. She knew calling her Mummy Mama makes her emissional and affectionate and she almost always gets what she wants with it but not this time.“Okay Baby how about you take care of me and Jenny for the whole week and then I will consider” she offered resting her hands on her shoulders.“Really Mama?” Rose’s blue eyes light up with excite
“You look beautiful as always Vanessa” Kate compliment politely. And Vanessa smiles in response, it had been two days since the incident with Alex and she was glad he had kept his distance.“i told ya” Emma whispered in her ear with a duh tune. She had relentlessly nag Vanessa to RSVP yes to the party and invited herself as her plus one, she felt it will somehow elevate her spirit even though she claimed she was fine.“She's just being polite” Vanessa responded, scanning the room and occasionally nodding her head when she made eye contact with a familiar face.She honestly wished she were back home getting some work from her pile of work done but she agreed to this just to show Emma she was fine like she said she was and get her to shut up. All these exclusive parties only serve as a reminder of her life with him and she will very much like to put that behind her.“Beautiful as always miss Morgan” a voice said from behind her.She turned to reply but the face made her freeze, Sam! Sh
The wait at the hospital reception was excruciating to say the least, Vanessa has never felt so scared in her life not even when her Mother was fighting cancer or when she lost her high school best friend in a car accident, nothing came close to thinking Alex had attempt suicide or that he might actually had succeeded since he is not out of the woods yet. The thought of him lying lifeless on a hospital bed brought back memories of him the first day she had met him.She had arrived late because she had stupidly let Emma convince her that they needed to celebrate her internship appointment at a prestigious organization and they had went drinking late causing her to wake up late with the worst hangover and little to no memory of what had happened the previous night. Emma who she assumed had drink more than she because of her well established drinking habit was at the kitchen making breakfast wearing nothing but a shirt which she knew at the time means she had a guy over, probably a ran
“Miss Emma is here to see you sir” his secretary's announcement caught him off guard, He had anticipated Vanessa's visit once she had the news. He was looking forward to it even. He didn't think she would send her crazy friend instead.“I am busy,” he said, waving her away. He wasn't ready for Emma's drama and He knew she was trouble and chances are she was there to make a scene since she never liked him so her being here is just a recipe for disaster.He went back to what he was doing hoping Emma will take no for an answer at least this once in her life but he got his answer when he had his secretary's voice just outside his office “wait ma'am you can't go in” “ Watch me” he had her say and then she stormed into the office with his secretary running behind her, she stood over his desk sending him dargers.“ I tried to stop her, sir,” the poor girl said fearfully, She wouldn't want to lose her job for this.“ Just go” he said waving his hands he would be a fool to expect she will
If Alex had any remorse she couldn't say, his facial expression remained neutral and he was awfully silent for a Man in this position as if he was basking in her misery and she hated it she hated how he tower over her and how he kept looking down at her with that awful look in his eyes like she was some sort of prized possession and he owned every inch of her. She's supposed to be winning but this, all this doesn't feel like she's won he still calls the shots and to make matters worse she had to go utter those three awful words to him.Her thoughts where fueling her anger and being in the same space with him isn't helping either she was suffocating under his gaze and he still wouldn't talk or take his eyes off her and he was still vod of any emotion, he just stood there like it was the Normal thing to do. She had so long forgotten this side of him she once hated and still hates.“You did this on purpose didn't you?” She asked frustrated he wouldn't talk and he made no indication that
