A Night With My Boss

I still couldn’t believe that he actually denied me and my baby on National TV.

An opportunist?!.

Those words kept ringing in my head.

I rubbed my tummy, “He doesn’t deserve you or your mum, why would he say I blackmailed him ?.”

All these while he has been faking his feelings.

What about those happy moments we shared?.

The plans of us taking care of the baby.

It was all a lie.

There’s no point in staying here after all he has already cancelled the wedding, I deserve way better than a man who disgraced me on National TV.

I want to question him so bad, scream at him , cry in his arms but I couldn’t because he’s not mine, after all I’m just a secretary who got lucky, not even lucky because he doesn’t want me, in the eyes of the world, I’m the second woman who snatched someone’s love of their life.

I have his baby, I never for once regretted having this baby just because he decides to be stupid and immature.

I will bring this child to the world and take care of it, acting as a mother and father figure.

I took out my box from the wardrobe and started removing my clothes from the hangers to fold them into my box.

This is too toxic for me.

I grabbed my phone to call Preston.

“Hey, sis.”

“You good?.” He inquired.

I could imagine his worried expression right now.

“Please, come and pick me up.”

“Why?.”

“Don’t ask questions, okay!.”

“I need to know.”

I sighed, ” I can’t.. I need to leave… make sure my child isn’t born and brought up in a toxic environment or treated like an outsider just because of his mother’s mistake.”

“Mistake, you say?.”

“If I didn’t open my damn legs, I wouldn’t be in this situation.”

“Stop putting the blame on yourself, you don’t have to leave… just wait till he gets back and try to get the truth out of him.” He advised.

“What truth exactly?, Look!, I don’t want to know why he did, the deed has already been done and he can’t undo the damages caused, I don’t want my kid to have such a man as his or her father.”

“At the end of the day, he’s still the father.”

“Are you done?, When you are done with your talks, please come and pick me up, I will be waiting, hurry up.” I hung up before he had a chance to utter a word.

I gently sat on my bed, his words kept replaying in my head.

So I am the bad guy in this game.

We had sex and I got pregnant and he doesn’t want to own up to it.

He seriously thinks I’m trying to tie him down or take half of his property with a child.

I squeezed the bedsheet as I clenched my jaw.

I breathed in and out, anger was the last thing I needed for my health.

I didn’t need stress at all.

More reason why I have to leave this place, if I see his face and keep seeing it, it will only make me hate him and make me an emotional mess.

I calmly waited for Preston to come but I had a feeling that he wouldn’t after all , he still believes that Alex has a reason for what he did.

Blind Faith and Hope.

I decided to not wait any longer and called a cab, I dragged my box and walked out of my room.

My slow movement wasn’t helping matters because I wanted to leave as soon as possible.

If only Preston was here, he would have helped me to carry my box or something.

The stairs even made it much more difficult, so I successfully got downstairs.

I paused to catch my breath, I wanted to take a seat but the earlier I left, the better.

I was about to open the door when mum stopped me.

“Where do you think you are going with your box?.” Her words halted my action.From NôvelDrama.Org.

I slowly turned around to see the curious look on her face.

“I can’t stay anymore.”

“Oh, dear… good thing, I decided to come check on you, you would have probably escaped without anybody’s knowledge.” She spoke to herself as if I wasn’t there.

“You can’t leave… I mean you need someone to take care of you in this condition.”

“I am sorry, mum but it’s best , I leave , what am I doing here? His mistress doesn’t have a purpose anymore.” I stated.

” Why would you call yourself his mistress, he’s the reason you are in this situation, I won’t even let him be with Skyler or whatever her name is called.” She confessed.

I passed her a soft, weak smile.

” If Alex wants to marry her, he will do it regardless of anybody’s opinion, I don’t want my baby and I to be treated like a second class citizen in his or her father’s house, it’s better I leave, I can’t bear or face any more disgrace.”

” And you won’t, trust me, I’m his mother, he will listen to me, I will talk sense into his head, he has to handle his responsibility.”

“Mum, I appreciate your efforts but please, it’s not worth the stress, just let me go before he gets back.” I begged.

“No way!, I want to see my grandchild and take good care of my grandchild.” She blatantly refused.

She wasn’t going to let me leave , Preston had just one damn job.

She took my box and kept it to her side.

“You are going to stay put until all of this blows over” She said as she made her way back to the living room.

She sighed, “Fine, let’s have a civil conversation.”

I forced a smile and decided to sit, I didn’t like the stress either.

“Do you trust him?.” She threw the question at me.

Silence took over before I replied, ” I do.”

“If you do then there’s no need to leave.”

“I don’t want to, I still can’t believe it but he looked like he meant what he said in his interview.”

“He looked like… just wait until he gets back, he must have a logical explanation for this.

She assured me.
