Aileen's POV Unlike every other day, today was a very busy day at a triple A company. They were going to launch a new project soon and so an important meeting was being held today, so as to go through the project for the last time before launching it this weekend. After the hideous and tiring trip, they finally were able to get right back on track and with this product they were going to seal a new beginning, a very big project that each one of them had their own contribution in. A meeting was ongoing, every single department had their representatives around so as to stand and explain if ever a problem arises today. I sat beside my boss jotting down every important thing, the man was also very invested in the meeting, one of the department was playing their part. Triple A company was going to try something new this time, expanding it's diverse ground of business in the market even wider.“With each machine produced and made by our best organ of this company, I mean from my own depa

“You did a great job raising him Aileen, he is so respectful and composed for his age” complimented the old man. “Thank you for not giving him up and keep him until today, you were brave” he added. Aileen blinked her tears, responding with her forced smile. She felt like crying aloud, brave wasn't something she expected to hear from him at all. “Yes, thank you very much. It must have been hard for you” Claimed the old woman, although her face was saying something else. Was she angry at me? Because she wasn't even trying to hide it whenever she glances her way. God please! She thought. “Thank you too” she replied, trying as hard as she could to keep her composure. She really doesn't need to be thanked for raising her own son for all these years, because she was going to do it all over again if she was asked to. That accident might have been her biggest failure but she doesn't regret having Leelan, he was the reason why she kept living. He practically saved her life and gave her a purp

The next morning, they took the boy to school as usual before heading to the office. The car parked at the parking lot, where other employees were also parking their cars. “Don't you think coming to work together like this might cause unnecessary drama for both of us? I should've taken a taxi or an Uber.” she aired her worries. People have already begun to look at her differently since the day she was told to give her opinions on the meeting last time. It was an important project, she had to be an important person to their boss to give her opinions like that and they were actually executed. People have started to think of it that way, forgetting that she was also an employee who had the right to do so just like them. What are these people going to say the moment they find out that the two of them actually had a thing in the past and the fruit of it is their little boy?. Her head was aching at that thought. “Oh, should I take you back then so you can call your Uber?” He teased, placin

Leelan was happy to have his daddy over, they played a little before taking him to sleep, the two of them did. When he came out he spotted Sharon with two cups of coffee “Here, it's been a while, have a seat” she said. Aileen was still tucking her son well and making sure he didn't wake up because he couldn't feel her warmth. Alan sat down, gripping the cup, not even knowing how to look at her. “How is everything? I am sorry for your loss” He asked. “Thank you, things are going well. How is your family doing?” Sharon noticed how uncomfortable the man was. “They are doing well, they send their condolences actually” he answered. Sharon got up “Come here” she said. Alan was dumbfounded but he too stood up. Sharon hugged him, “I am sorry for everything that has happened to you my dear,” awestruck by what just happened, the man stood still, letting the woman embrace him. His eyebrows knitted together, it took all in him not to shatter right there and cry like a baby. He never knew that th

“Will you calm down first, little brother?. It wasn't me who made this decision, it was our dear father and mother, you should lash out at them and not me, do you get it?” siad Rue, she wasn't going to tell him what the whole family was up to, never. He should just sit back and let them take care of his future now because he seemed too confused to even date someone like Tiffany. “Not even you Rue, please! He is my son, don't you understand? Do you people know how much danger you have gotten my son and his mother into? Do you know how many enemies I've made out there?” He was very angry that he wasn't informed about the matter that concerned his own son's life. He should've been informed about it, he would've made preparations about it. There was media to deal with, there were the board members to inform and secure the formalities about their relationship to them and there is a damn society who are always ready to pick and judge things even without knowing anything about it. With the
