It was a Sunday morning. Anita was in the kitchen washing the dishes and cooking when Angie walked in, suggesting they had a girl's time out with Austin.
"I'm so in for that." Anita giggled, dropping the last plate on the rack.Angie smiled, seeing how happy Anita looked. She was glad that Anita did not get too affected by the recent events that happened to her.After they finished eating, Anita informed Austin about the outing, which he was happy about, so she decided to dress him up herself.She was even more happy about the outing because she would be able to spend time with her son and act like his mother outside without looking around for paparazzi. Something she had not been able to do since she came back to Los Angeles. In fact, it broke Anita's heart anytime she had to act like she was not Austin's mother in public, but there was nothing she could do at that time. Well, it seems like whoever leakNeither the soft music playing in the background nor the strippers dancing in the club made sense to Alexander as he sat there on the couch, taking gulp after gulp of the alcohol from the glass in front of him.The scene of the interview Anita had with the reporters kept replaying in his head. Why would she tell the reporters that the father of her child was dead? Was she wishing him dead?It was not as if it was his intention to abandon them; it was all Anita's fault for running away instead of approaching him.Imagine that he had no idea that he had a child until recently, and that was all Anita's fault. He wondered how his son was doing and what he thought of him. Perhaps she had told him the same lies too.Alex sighed and leaned back on the couch he was sitting on, his face contorted.He brought out his phone and started looking at the picture of the little kid.The kid looked familiar, but he had no idea where he had seen him.Lawrence, on the other hand, was grinning from ear to
"Daddy! Is that you?" Austin asked as his eyes met Alex's, their gray eyes fixed on each other. Alex could immediately spot that he needed no DNA to prove that this kid actually belonged to him.He furrowed his brows as he stared at the young lad.He wondered if he already knew he was his dad the day they met at the mall; that was probably the reason he was so fascinated by him back then."Did you know who I was the first day you met me at the mall?" He demanded, staring into the face of the young child that was fixed on him.Austin simply shook his head. "I just found out yesterday that Aunty Angie showed me your picture, but she made me promise not to tell Mom."Alex clenched his fist but tried to remain calm on the outside.How could Anita be so cruel? How could she hide him from his son?He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair with his other hand on his waist, then he turned to Austin."Listen, son. I want to take you somewhere. Will you come with me?"Austin's eyes popped
Around five in the evening, Austin woke up.At first, he looked around the room, trying to figure out where he was, until he saw his dad lying down beside him. His eyes sparkled, finally realizing where he was."Dad." He called softly, tapping him gently.Alexander opened his eyes slowly to see Austin smiling at him. His lips also curled up into a bright smile."Did mom call you?" Austin asked, staring into his face with a raised brow, and Alexander nodded.Austin looked away for a while; he seemed to be in deep thought."Is she mad at me?" He asked with a downturned mouth.Alexander nodded, remembering how loud Anita's voice had been when she called him earlier.Austin stared blankly around the room, and a sigh escaped his mouth. He felt bad for making his mom worried."Are you going to take me to mom now?" He demanded, and his gaze focused on Alexander.Alex was quiet, staring into space. Then he looked at the young lad and stared into his face."Do you want another sibling?" Alex a
Alexander felt a warm body close to him when he woke up in the morning, and a smile spread across his lips when he remembered that Austin was with him.He turned to watch his sleeping face.He noticed that Austin looked just like Anita, but even at that, he was still happy that he got his eye color from him.Austin opened his eyes slowly and saw Alexander staring at him with a smile."Good morning, Dad." He greeted him.Alex rubbed his head. "Did you enjoy your first night here?"Austin nodded his head, even though he missed his mom and Angie, but since this would bring his parents together, he did not mind.Just then, there was a knock on the door."Come in," Alexander commanded.The door opened a crack, and the housekeeper, Mrs. Violet, popped her head into the room from the door."Good morning, Mr. Scott; breakfast is ready." Alex nodded his head."Come on," Alex said, taking Austin's hand. "You have to shower."Austin was grinning from ear to ear as he followed Alex to the bathroo
"Where is my son, Alexander? I need to see him now." Anita shouted, stomping her palm aggressively on the table. Lawrence, who was still confused about what was going on, walked up to Anita and tried to calm her down. "Anita, calm down; let's try and settle this." "There is nothing to settle." Anita raised her voice, forcefully pulling herself away from Lawrence's hold. "Tell your friend to bring out my son right now; that's all I want." Lawrence was trying to connect the dots and make sense of everything that was going on. Why does Alexander have Anita's son? Alex laughed so hard. "But you've been hiding him from me for the past five years; is it bad if I decide to keep him for some days too?" He asked sarcastically. Lawrence raised his brows once more; in fact, his forehead was now squeezed because of how he kept raising it. He looked from Ani
As Anita walked out of Alexander's office, all eyes were on her.All of Alexander's workers, including his secretary, kept staring at her with wide eyes while murmuring among themselves."Is this not Anita Fredrick? What is she doing here, and why is she with Mr. Scott?"Paparazzi even took pictures of her as she walked out of the company.When Anita saw Lawrence and Angie talking outside, she started walking towards them while dragging her feet sluggishly.She did not know how to face Lawrence; she knew that by now he would have known everything that went on, and he would be aware that she used him.She felt bad for using him, but that was the only option she had.She expected him to be mad at her as he turned to face her, but instead, he smiled at her."You are really such a good mother, Anita; I commend your bravery." He said, tapping her shoulder lightly.Anita heaved a sigh of relief."You two drive home safely, okay? I will see you some other time."He waved goodbye to them and
Alexander looked at Anita, who was sitting close to him at the back of the car, and he noticed the change in her mood. "What's wrong?' he demanded, with his eyes on her. "Nothing." She shrugged her shoulders. Alexander nodded and faced the road. The driver started the car and drove them out of the mansion. Anita kept going through the message, reading it over and over again to be sure of what she was seeing. Why would Kelvin send this to her anyway? And how did he even get her personal number? She clenched her fist as she read the message again. "I'm so sorry that I am writing this to you, and I have absolutely no idea how it would make you feel. But I just can't hold it back anymore. I love you so much, Anita, and I find it very hard to resist you, no matter how hard I try. Trust me, I've tried so much to refrain myself from sending this message, but you just have
"Let's give Austin another sibling," Alexander whispered under his breath, cupping Anita's face in his palms, and her skin tingled, causing her heart rate to increase rapidly.Anita felt a little embarrassed standing in front of Alex completely unclad, yet she found it utterly difficult to resist him.Adrenaline rushed through her body as she felt his face closer to hers until his nose slightly brushed hers."Okay?" He asked, getting her permission before he went any further.Anita nodded her head slowly. She tried to tell herself that she was only doing this because she wanted to give birth to another child to save Austin, but secretly she was enjoying his closeness, and she really wanted it.Alexander stroked the back of her head slowly, brushing her wet hair with his fingers, then captured her lips in a hot and sensual kiss.Anita returned the kiss, placing her hand on his chest and then moving it slowly around his neck.They kissed each other passionately under the running shower,
