The Billionaire’s Secret Affair

Anya couldn’t believe that everything happened so fast. From the time Andrius knew the truth until he met their son, it was surreal, but at the same time overwhelming. Seeing Andrius hugged their son with so much love and longing, she couldn’t help herself but cry in too much emotion. She was happy but at the same time in pain because of the struggles they went through for the past years.

“Atreus, Daddy will go home. Come here, hurry up!”Anya called Atreus who was sitting on Andrius’thighs. His two arms clung to the man’s neck as his head pressed against his chest.

Atreus shook his head.”No, mommy.”

Anya sighed from the sight. They have been like that for hours but it was as if it didn’t matter. It also seemed that Andrius didn’t care at all. She looked at her wristwatch and saw that it was already dawn. Her eyes widened and turned her gaze to Andrius who was sitting in their bamboo chair in front of her.

Anya motioned Andrius to convince their child to come down from his arms but the young man just shrugged his head. She frowned at him and looked at her Pappi for help, but his only response was a raised eyebrow.

“Can daddy sleep here, Mommy? Please, Pappila…”Atreus said while still clinging to Andrius. Her voice was full of anticipation while looking at Pappi.

Pappi sighed. He whispered,”See? Your son is also stubborn. He will inherit that from you because you were like that before. You don’t even want to obey my rules.”

“Pappi,”Anya bowed. She was obviously guilty. She knew her father was right. She was too stubborn back then.

“Come on, Kiddo. Daddy will come here again tomorrow, okay? I’ll be back again, I promise,”Andrius whispered to his son. He even kissed the top of Atreus’head. He also stroked the child’s back because it looked sleepy as well.

Andrius didn’t know what to feel a while ago when his child was crying in his arms earlier as Anya introduced him as his father. His heart was aching in pain but at the same time happy. With too much crying, he knew that Atreus was tired and sleepy. He wanted to stay but looking at Anya’s father, it was impossible.

Atreus moved. In his sleepy eyes he managed to look at him.”But you said, you won’t leave me again, daddy? Please… Atreus wanted to sleep with you. I miss you, Daddy!”he said. His eyes were pleading.

Despite feeling emotional, Andrius still managed to smile when he saw Atreus’appearance. There and then, he wanted to take his child to his home. He was too cute to miss. He wanted to kiss him as if there was no tomorrow. Because the truth was, he still couldn’t fully imagine that an idiot like him would have an angel like Atreus. It was as if a warm hand was caressing his heart. Fulfillment was evident in his being.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Andrius glanced at Anya in front of him. He saw how Anya bowed as her father whispered something. Her lips pouted which made her cute. He smiled and shook his head. Even though time had passed, Anya didn’t change a bit.

On the other hand, Anya was back to her senses when her Pappi pinched her on her waist. She stared at him and shrugged her shoulders.”What Pappi?”she asked.

“It’s late. Good thing there’s no business tomorrow. Let Andrius stay here for a while,”Pappi whispered in her ear. Anya nodded and glanced at Andrius who was also staring at her. She immediately looked far away from him and bowed her head.

“I will. Thank you, Pappi,”Anya replied.

Pappi sighe. He shook his head.”As much as I don’t want him here, is there anything else I can do? Look at your son, Anya. He looked pitiful,”Pappi’s eyes filled with tears before glancing at Andrius and Atreus.

“Sorry Pappi,”she said. Anya nodded to her father in agreement.

Pappi stood up.”You can sleep here, Mr. Monterio. Sleep beside your son. Not beside my daughter,”he said to Andrius. He looked strict with raised eyebrows.

“Yes! Sir,”Andrius answered politely. He nodded to Pappi.

“Good!”Before turning to another room, Anya’s father glared at her. Although she was confused about what she was going to do, she still nodded. When Pappi finally left, she released the breath she was holding inside her chest.

“Andrius-”

“Anya-”

‘Calm the fuck down, Anya!’Anya ordered herself. It was as if she was going back to the time that she was overwhelmed by her feelings for him. Though the situation was different now, the impact that Andrius had created on her was still the same.

“Come on, baby,”Andrius said teasingly. He could feel that Anya was tense. His lips formed a devilish grin.”Du bist wunderschön, Anya. Even when your mouth is open you’re still beautiful,”Andrius added while shaking his head.

Anya’s face reddened. She was thankful that their lights were dimmed because if not, she was doomed. She quickly stood up and left in front of Andrius, trying to hide her reddened cheek from him. It was not clear but his words could melt her heart in an instant. And the fact that she knew little German.

For the past years, she studied German. She even learnt how to cook. Anya did that for him. Somehow, she did not believe that they would ever meet but she knew her heart was hoping. And fate listened. They were here now, with their son.

Anya sighed. She went directly to Atreus’room and fixed his bed. She smiled, seeing his Superman bedsheet. Her son was fascinated by the superhero that he thought was his dad. Funny, but she actually lied about it when her kid was still young.

“You can put Atreus here,”Anya said.

“Okay.”Andrius carefully laid down Atreus who was sound asleep. He adjusted his pillow and floated carefully. He seemed an expert though he was still learning because it was new to him.

Everything was new to him.

Anya watched quietly as Andrius did all that. She could clearly see in Andrius’blue eyes a father’s love for his son. She knew instantly that he would be a good father to Atreus.”Thank you,”she said.

When Andrius finished, the two stared at each other intently. Both of them waited to see who wanted to speak first. But in the end, Andrius was still the first to break the silence.”I will go now. I’ll be back tomorrow,”he said.

Andrius stretched out to kiss Atreus on the forehead. Then he walked out of the room. But even before he left, Anya stopped him. She held one of his arms with her two hands.”Ah, you can stay with Atreus. I will sleep on the other side, too. Pappi is right. It’s late. Besides, my son will look for you tomorrow.”

Anya was embarrassed. She bowed her head. But Andrius was fast. He removed her hands on his arm and pinned her to the wall. Her eyes widened when he hugged her tight. But eventhough she was surprised, she let her arms wrapped on him and hugged him back.

“He is our son, Anya,”Andrius whispered over Anya’s head.”Atreus is our son. You and me.”He gently stroked her hair.

Anya nodded.”You’re right.”

Moments later, the two lay down next to their son. Even though the bed was small, the three on top of it were still fitted. Though Anya was not sleepy, she was forced to close her eyes and go to sleep. She would leave everything for now.

As Anya closed her eyes, Andrius watched her. He could not sleep either. He was very overwhelmed by the fact that he was laying in the bed beside his son and Anya. His heart felt happy for what was happening and it was unbearable.

“Thank you,”he whispered softly as he looked at Anya who was now breathing heavily.
