Relief floods my insides and I let out a breath I didn’t know I was holding in as the bell jangled, signifying their exit.

‘I’ll be back in a minute', standing up, I head to the table they just left, clearing the pile of coloring books and crayons.

Head chef had been so nice, allowing Ajax and Lisa in the restaurant for as long as they liked, but it won’t be fair to hog a table after they were gone, so I clear them up heading to the back room and placing them with Bella's things.

I catch a glance of Cathy’s befuddled expression as I enter, knowing she would have pelted me with questions if she wasn’t attending to a customer.

Stepping out, she’s done and I take a deep breath waiting for the maelstrom to begin.

‘That’s Simon Valero right, theee Simon Valero', she draws closer to me and I stare, patiently nodding as she fires,

‘Only son and child of Alicia Valero?, heir to SM group Simon Valero?’, her voice pitches with the last question and I finally use my words.

‘Yeees',

    ‘Mom', I pushed away from him, turning to Mrs. Alicia Valero, a woman who insisted on that title right from the time I left my parents, following her.‘Mother’, Simon’s voice sounded dreary, a complete opposite of mine,‘Valentina', she rushed towards me, engulfing me in her warm embrace, it pushed past the pain of my son kidnap, stemmed that overflowing river.‘It's been too long’, she pushed Simon out of her way, planting herself beside me,The look of unbelief on Simon’s face widened the smile on mine,‘Oohh let me look at you', keeping her hands on my shoulders, she held me at arms length searching my face, her warmth-filled voice filling my ears,She lifted a hand to my cheek, squeezing lightly then turned a glare to Simon who was looking at us puzzled,‘Simon aren’t you feeding her, look how thin she has gotten’‘Mom’, laughter burst from my lips as I exclaimed ‘Of course…I…she’, Simon stuttered at his mother’s chiding looking further confused,He got himself togeth

    ‘Simon!!’, I flared up the next second,‘I had it under control', my voice explodes rising in anger,‘You had to go and ruin it', my voice broke as it dropped, my hand dropping with it and my anger died as quickly as it started as every person in the room shared tensed looks.‘I’m sorry', he sounded beaten, voice showing remorse but my heart was too battered to process it,I stretched one hand out till he placed my phone back across my palm, curling into a ball on my bed, and turning away from him.Staring at my phone screen was all I could do, turning it on and watching it fade to black was what got me through the minutes it took Adam to call back.The phone didn’t even get to ring before I picked it up,‘I want to speak with you Tina, and you alone', forget brightness, forget mirth,‘The next time I hear someone else's voice, the deal his off', his voice was manic and manic alone, dripping malice.‘I understand’, I spoke quietly, not wanting to infuriate him further,‘Alri

    Ajax’, his name dropped from my lips, like a strangled sob as I shot up in bed,My chest heaved, breathing wild, my forehead dripping with sweat,Simon stumbled from his bed, half asleep, staggering to my side.‘What happened’, his words were slurred as he blinked medication induced sleep from his eyes yet worry was evident in them,‘What happened’, he repeated, holding my face in his hands, brushing sweaty curls from my forehead,My eyes watered, sobs racking my body,‘They took him from me', my voice shook, whimpers escaping my mouth,‘He was here, with me, then he was gone'Simon drew me in, folding me to his chest like he had always done,‘It was just a dream', my tears flowed to his neck, a mix of my sweat and terms soaking his shirt,‘Just a dream', he whispered against my hair, stroking my head but my mind was still plagued by the nightmare I woke from.We were both in the playground, Ajax and I, and I watched him, intently, like I always did, while he jumped from sw

    The closest hospital was fifteen minutes away, and we met with shock on getting there.‘What’, shock dripped from my tone the second time in the same hour as I stared at the doctor assigned to me,I was alone in her office as she looked through the result of my X-ray.The first was when I heard that Simon had to be admitted just minutes ago,According to the nurse, Simon’s wound was infected and needed close monitoring,‘But I did a good job at dressing it when it happened’, I protested and she glances at me with a knowing smile on her face,‘You did, but according to your husband the shard stayed in for hours’, I couldn’t explain the giddy feeling, the sweet shivers that always spread through me anytime we were called husband and wife.‘The dressing was also wet like you let water get into it’, the feeling simmered, dying out as I turned a glare towards Simon.‘I told you, you need help bathing’, ‘I didn’t want to bother you’, he replied me and I eyed him up and down, my ey

    Well...not…not exactly’, my eyes narrowed at a spluttering Simon,‘We’ll discuss this later’, a glare on my face I whisper at him before I turned to Ajax‘You’re not skipping today’, I stretch my hands out for Simon to pass him to me,‘But I want to play with you and daddy’, he pouted at me, grabbing tightly to Simon’s neck‘We can play when you get back, school is important’, I glared at Simon again, watching a sheepish look take over his face,‘But daddy said…..’‘I’m sure daddy was just joking’ ‘Right Simon’, I turned a tight smile to Simon and he nodded quickly,‘Yeah, Ajax’, his face looked pained as he tried to force a smile onto his face,‘I meant if you fell sick, you could skip to go to the hospital’, Ajax pout stayed on a moment more before it resolved, it turned into a frown in seconds as his eyes fixed on Simon’s face,‘Daddy, are you sick?’‘Your face looks bad’ Ajax stretched his hand out, poking Simon face with a finger, ‘No…no I’m not sick’, a forced la

    The next morning finds it almost impossible to get us out of bed,We stared, cradling each other’s faces like we were making sure those whispered moments of the night before were real.‘Good morning’, bumping my nose with his finger, Simon greeted me,‘So we’re getting married or something’, ignoring his greeting, I poke his nose the same way he did mine, remembering the giddy feeling from being called Valentina Valero,‘Baby!, we’re already married’, sweet shivers fill my belly from the endearment used, but a little confusion rivals it, lop siding the smile on my face,‘Yeah, and then we got a divorce’, confusion spilled to my voice, but that smile, that silly smile that said “I know something you don’t” stayed on his face,‘Don’t be too sure about that’ Simon springs from the bed, a sly smile stretched across his lips.‘Explain that statement Mister’, I jump up too, wagging my finger at him,I’m interrupted by a knock on our bedroom door, the door pushing open almost immedia
