CHAAPTER TWENTY FOUR
MIA’S POV
After our visit to the hospital, Alex has been so nice to me, taking care of me in the little way he can.
I was in the sitting room with Alex surfing through, when we heard noises outside.
It can’t be me the person wants to visit. I’m very sure because Chole is my only friend and almost all the guards know her now, and she has easy passage into the house now.
When the noise didn’t die down, Alex stood up to go outside to check what was going on.
As he reached the entrance and was about to open the door, a lady burst into the living room with a little boy with her. The door almost hit Alex.
I looked at the person strangely and looked back at what I was watching, because I don’t know the person nor have I come across the person, they must be Alex visitor.
“What do you want? Rebecca,” Alex asked, he was full of anger. His facial expression has changed, he looks like someone ready to burst.
“I’m not going to ask the second time. What do you want, Ella?” Alex asked for the second time.
‘Wow, I’m liking this drama,’ I thought, as I was getting interested. But why is Alex looking so mad? Who is this Rebecca? And who is the little boy with her? The boy looks like Alex a little, I thought
The lady then looked at Alex, giving him puppy eyes. “Lexy, so no baby, no sweetheart, no teddy bear? Don’t you miss me? I’m even with your son,” the strange lady said.
Son?? I heard, and I looked with my mouth wide open.
“This is your daddy, Ethan.” She told the little boy with her, who should be around 4 years old. The boy went to meet Alex, and hugged his legs.
Alex was so shocked, as he uttered angrily, “Whose child is this, Ella? I have no child anywhere, so don’t deceive yourself and get out of my house now. I don’t want to see you anywhere close to me or my mansion.”
The Ella lady then noticed me as she waved and walked up to me.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“You are going to have a stepson soon and also another wife, and this house isn’t going to be easy for the both of us.” She stated.
“I have something to use against Alex now that he has a son, and I know Alex won’t like to destroy his reputation.” She continued.
“You can talk to your husband, or, what can I call him, because I know you guys aren’t married,” Ella said.
“Bye Lexy I’m still coming back for you.” she pecked Alex, as catwalk out of the house with her son.
I was still shocked of what she just said, how the fuck did she know that I’m not married to Alex? Apart from Mark, Chole, and I think some of the maids, no one outside knows that I’m not married to Alex.
Immediately, she left. Alex said I shouldn’t be bothered by her threat that all she said is not going to happen.
ALEX POV
I was still looking so mad about what just happened, as I went to his room angrily and called Mark.
“What’s up, man?” Mark said.
“I’m not good, Mark. Ella came back after 4 years,” I blurted out.
“What? Ella?? What does she want???” Mark asked at once.
“She didn’t even come alone, she came with a boy claiming he was my son, and the boy did look a bit like me. He had my eyes. I’m confused. I don’t know if I should believe her. Their strange visit really demoralised me,” I said.
“Alex, calm down. Let’s watch her next move. If she claims the child is for you, just accept the child,” Mark tried to calm me down over the phone.
“Did you pour your seed into her before she left you?” Mark asked.
“I don’t even know, I can’t remember. It being four years, man,” I said.
“Just stay calm and don’t do anything out of anger. You won’t want anything to affect your reputation in the country, and you won’t want the high stake of your company to come down, so just do things quietly with wisdom, man. Just know that I got your back, man,” Mark advised.
“The funniest part is that she knows that I and Mia aren’t married. I don’t know how she got to know, she even threatened Mia,” I explained.
“Everything will be fine. Alex, let’s just wait for her next arrival and see what she wants to do.” Mark urged.
I ended the call. I had a flashback to when me and Ella started dating, and to the time when she ended things with me.
**********FLASH BACK***************
I was in Year 3 when I met Ella. Ella is a very beautiful girl with brown eyes. When I saw her, I got attracted to her immediately. I tried to woo her, which I succeeded in.
After a few weeks of wooing her, she later agreed to be my girlfriend. Our relationship was so sweet that most people in our college know about it and are always jealous of us. I have always been a private person, but Ella isn’t. I tried to keep up with her public life to show her how much I love her.
I introduced her to my grandfather. My grandfather loves her so much that she sometimes spends the night at my grandfather’s place.
During our late year in college, I heard a rumour that Ella was cheating on me with one of my guys, Leo.
Leo and I were best friends. Fortunately for me, I caught both of them cheating on me. My best friend and girlfriend broke my trust. I told Rebecca I was no longer interested, but she was begging me to accept her back.
Say she wouldn’t do it again, so after much begging and everything, I decided to forgive her and accept her back.
We started dating back. Our love keeps growing each day. We would go out to dinner, always call each other, and we do literally everything together.
Until one day I didn’t see her. I tried calling her, but she wouldn’t pick up. After five days, I saw her message. She wrote, “Thanks for showing me love, care, and attention when we were together. I have eloped to someone who my heart loves. I’m sorry for breaking your heart. I hope you have a good life as I’m also having a blissful life.”
I heard from my source that she later got married to my ex-best friend Leo, so she was still in love with Leo. Then why did she beg for my love back? Since then, you have vowed not to date or marry any lady. I expect any lady can change my heart.
*********END OF FLASHBACK*********
So I’m so shocked that she decided to show up in my life after four years with a child, which I’m not sure is mine.
As she came, old memories were rushing into my head. Upon how my grandfather loved her, cared for her, gave her things, and took her like a daughter, she didn’t attend my grandfather’s burial.
I was expecting to see her, even if she didn’t want me to see her or have anything to do with me. She should have attended and she could leave early, but she didn’t. She didn’t send a message, she didn’t even care at all. I don’t even think she loved me, maybe I was the only one who loved her.
