*Andrea*

Here I was, sitting beside the richest silver fox and father to my cheating ex. Looking at him, I couldn’t believe that I was the one who had just mischievously flirted with him a few minutes before.

“You said your name was Anna, right?”

I opened my mouth to correct him and stopped myself almost immediately. Anna was the name I had given him. As much as I knew he wasn’t close with his son, I wouldn’t risk the chance of him finding out about me until my plan was well and truly executed.

I smiled coyly at him, though it was because I thanked the universe for making things flow smoothly and efficiently for me.

All I had to do tonight was to seduce him to get him to bed.

‘Yes, I am Anna, and you are Alejandro Costa,’ I replied.

A waitress dressed in a black and purple skirt suit approached our table. She nodded at me and smiled at Alejandro before stealing a glance my way.

I looked at the short outfit she had worn, and she looked comfortable in it, a stark contrast to the micro outfits I used to wear at work. I also knew she could smell the potential on her table, but she knew I was the one who could make it or break it for her.

‘Would you like something?’ Alejandro asked, looking at me.

I picked up the menu, pretended to look at the assortment of drinks, and then said, ‘I’ll have the spiced Mojito, 86 the pirate.’

The waitress hesitated for a moment and then wrote down my order.

It looks like she understood what I meant.

‘I will have a Negroni; use the premium spirits,’ he said, handing back the menu.

The waitress nodded and walked away.

He let out a chuckle and then said, ‘I can tell the difference between high-quality spirits and cheap spirits.’

‘What else can you tell?’ I asked.

‘About liquor or about you?’ he asked, a mischievous grin planted on his face.

‘Both,’ I matched his energy.

He leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes, his hands clasped in front of him.

‘You are like a reposado tequila. Just slightly aged, meaning still young but have the potential to turn to Anejo.’

It looks like Alejandro had some knowledge about spirits, but could it beat mine?

‘In that case, you are a bottle of XO cognac with the potential of turning to XXO.’

‘You are the first person to call me old in such a creative manner,’ he said, a smile on his face.

I smiled back, ‘I’d say the same about you. Though I have a question: do you go around spilling drinks on ladies as a pickup move?’

‘Today I was trying out a new move; it looks like it worked, though I wouldn’t recommend using it too often; not everyone will be as forgiving as you.’

Damn!

Alejandro was smooth. I have to give it to him. He continued talking, and I felt a sense of familiarity and warmth wash over me.

He was just like his son but way better.

Unlike Lucas, conversation flowed effortlessly between us. The camaraderie was one to die for. I even forgot that I was talking to someone way older than me.

As he talked, I managed to get a good look at him, from his black hair to the high cheekbones on his face. I also looked at his juicy lips that weren’t thin like Lucas’. I imagined myself kissing them and hoped that it would be tonight.

Alejandro also used his hands while communicating. I managed to see his strong veiny hands and imagined if he was also veiny down there.

I took another sip of my alcohol-free cocktail.

This was one of the reasons I had been well-liked by my supervisor. He knew I never consumed alcohol, unlike my counterparts who would come to work drunk or drink while working. It was sad that I lost that job because of a stupid mistake.

Alcohol wasn’t my cup of tea or in this case my glass of wine.

There was also another reason I didn’t want to take alcohol tonight.

I wanted to be sober to execute my plan as Alejandro continued drinking.

We were on our fourth round of drinks, and our waitress Rehema was kind enough to bring us some small bites. I had started feeling hungry but not starved enough to order a full meal.

Alejandro had started being tipsy and I could tell from the way he had started initiating contact with me.

It had started with a small light touch on my hand as he reached for a potato crisp.

I had felt a slight jolt travel up that spot and my heart quickened its pace.

As the evening progressed into night, I felt my bladder getting full and I excused myself.

I also felt my sugar levels rising.

I got up and headed to the bathroom. As I left my seat I saw from the corner of my eye a man approach Alejandro and whisper something to him.

I shrugged mentally assuming it was his bodyguard or something of that kind. Once on the toilet seat, I felt relief as I emptied my bladder. I heard someone enter the next cubicle.

‘I’m jealous, I wish I was the one with him, I’d do anything to be in his company.’

The person in the next cubicle was on a call or so I thought. I wondered whom she was talking about and silently sat not making any movement.

‘Well we are two of us, and if we add Zoe and Daisy to the group, all we have to do is wait for her to come to the bathroom and then detain her.’

I wasn’t liking this conversation as I heard the second voice.

‘After all, she has consumed about seven Mojitos, even if she is not a lightweight, her judgment now should be cloudy, or at the least, she’ll have to visit the bathroom, we can jump her here.’

My heart froze as the second voice continued. I was the topic of the conversation. It was a stroke of luck that I happened to overhear them. I couldn’t blame them much, Alejandro was eye candy regardless of his age.

I got up and was about to flush but afraid they’ll hear me. I slowly opened the stall door and walked out. At the sink countertop, there was an empty bottle.

‘Or we could just rip that stupid dress, that way she will out of embarrassment be scared to go back to Alejandro’s presence.’

I looked at the bottle again and this time an idea popped into my head.

I filled up the bottle with water and saw a cleaning cart that I pushed against the next stall. I poured the water over the gap above my head and heard them squeal in anger.

They tried to push the door open but the cart didn’t budge.

‘Next time you plan to jump or ambush someone, make sure they aren’t nearby,’ I shouted gleefully and left the room almost skipping in delight.

I went back to the table where Alejandro was seated and he saw my red cheeks.

‘Everything okay?’

I nodded but didn’t explain anything. I don’t know why but I felt all giddy and happy at what I had just done.

  • Sleeping with my ex-boyfriend's father   Chapter 92

    *Alejandro*We were at the airport, dropping Lucas, Alison and Williams off. Williams was heading back to Florida and Lucas was traveling to attend the conference and manage the company's branch over in Florida. Fortunately, Jane had been able to get it postponed and since I'd already promised Lucas he could attend on my behalf, I wanted to keep my word. Alison, of course, was going with Lucas. She'd already said her home was wherever Lucas was. Everyone was expecting them to get engaged any day now."I'll miss you, auntie Alison," Austin said, trying his best to hold back his tears. Alison picked him up and gave raining kisses all over his face. Watching them tugged on some unknown part of me. Alison had become a huge part of Austin's life. Whenever Andrea and I couldn't have him with us, he was always with her. I couldn't imagine how they both felt now that she was moving temporarily.She kissed his cheek for the last time before letting him down. "I'll miss you too buddy," She sai

  • Sleeping with my ex-boyfriend's father   Chapter 91

    *Andrea*It had been a few weeks since I'd gotten back from the hospital. Nora was dead, Lucas was recovering and Austin and I had gotten some semblance of peace back in our lives. I'd managed to convince Alejandro to have a talk with Williams and it was the most difficult thing I had ever done. Alejandro had refused to speak about him for days, always asking me to please change the topic whenever I brought him up.And I had. Every time.As much as I had wanted them to make peace, my loyalty lies with Alejandro and I had never wanted to force him to do something he wasn't ready for. Fortunately after a few more days, he'd loosened up and we'd had the conversation. He'd kissed my head, letting me know he would never go back to being buddies with him but he was willing to make peace just for Lucas. They'd met at a restaurant a few days later.Alejandro had not wanted him in the house.Alejandro had given me a summary of how the talk had went. He'd made Williams understand that they coul

  • Sleeping with my ex-boyfriend's father   Chapter 90

    *Alejandro *I held onto the stretcher as the nurses rolled Andrea away. The stainless white walls and strong stench of disinfectant were the last thing on my mind as one of the nurses hurriedly called the attention of a doctor. I fisted my hands helplessly when the doctor asked me to wait outside, watching as they rolled her into the room. I brought my fist to my lips, shaking my head and trying to control my rising panic.I lowered myself on the chair in the waiting room, tapping my feet impatiently on the floor. I hated hospitals. It was filled with such sad people. A woman pushed a man on a wheelchair passed me. Kids ran around the waiting area, oblivious to what was actually going on. It wasn't hard to imagine what I looked like. My hair was a disheveled mess and sweat clung to my skin.I looked at my watch. It had only been two minutes since Andrea had been in the room but it felt like an hour. I stood up and paced around the hallway , unable to continue sitting in one place. Ho

  • Sleeping with my ex-boyfriend's father   Chapter 89

    *Andrea*I was pulled forcefully along the rough ground barefoot. My clothes were torn, and because they held my leg, walking became hard. But I bared all of it, hoping I would get through this. “Make her walk faster; we must make sure the piranhas have dinner on time.” Nora was in front, leading as they dragged me. “You don't have to do this, Nora. Don't do this,” I said. I can't imagine my son living without his mother. He had just gotten his father back after five years of living without him, and now Nora was about to make him lose his mother. I didn't want to watch this; I just couldn't.“Shut your mouth, or I'll make you shut it,” Nora warned. “We are close to the lake; you Should save that strength for the initial struggle; oh lord, it will be so fun to watch you.” She let out a laugh, and I wanted to run a dagger through her mouth and cut off her tongue.We soon reached the lake, which had a small bridge and railings. We stopped. “Nora, we don't have to go this far,” I said

  • Sleeping with my ex-boyfriend's father   Chapter 88

    *Andrea*I don't know how Lucas came here. But what shocked me the most was that Nora could have him tied like this next to me. One of the men had hit him hard on his head, causing him to lose consciousness. My heart tightened as I watched Lucas groan in pain before dropping to the floor. How could a mother be this heartless? What bothered me more was that it was Lucas who was here. Alejandro should be the one here, not Lucas. I had left through a place where, though it was dark, there was still a CCTV camera there, so why was help not coming? When I saw one of the two men with Nora carrying Lucas up, I asked, “What are you doing to him?” To Nora, I said, “he is your son, so why are you doing this to him?” I expect her to yell at the man who had hurt Lucas and to go pat her son; that's what I'd do. That's what every mother would do. But at that point, I had forgotten that not every mother would kidnap and threaten someone with a gun.It didn't take long for Lucas to regain his co

  • Sleeping with my ex-boyfriend's father   Chapter 87

    *Alejandro*The night has to be the longest night I have ever had. I looked back to the early hours of that day. Things had gone well; we had all been happy. All I had to do was to divorce Nora and get back my life. Andrea and Austin. But who would have thought that I would lose both of them that same day? I would never have imagined. I did all I could to find them, but everything led to a roadblock. It was frustrating. But I had to put up with it. I wasn't going to lose hope. I know I can find them.I don't care if I have to flip the earth over. I will find them. I spent the night watching one footage or another, checking everywhere I could, and getting the police involved. Alison didn't sleep either, and neither did Lucas. The following day, when he left to get a few things for us, I stepped into one of the empty rooms, and for once, I felt tears gather in my eyes.I didn't allow them to fall, and I will accept that it may take longer to find them.I was to meet with the inspec
