Yours, Never Again

Victor’s pov

I was doing my thing in the office. I had been anxious since I got to the office in the morning to clock out of work.

Things have been going on smoothly between me and Eloise, we were in the process of understanding each other.

And the sex? It was mind-blowing. If there is a next life I must marry a woman that reads erotic novels. It’s always cute and funny when she stylishly asks us to make love in a weird but not so weird position.

I can’t imagine what my life would be without her. My secretary beeped me that a woman named Amelia is causing a scene in the lobby.

Who the fuck is Amelia? I wasn’t in my worst mood so I asked the secretary to let her in. A redhead woman came with a boy that looked like he was six or seven.

He looked like me, there is no way he is my son. I don’t do redheads. I don’t hate them but I prefer women with black hair.

I don’t even know this woman, I don’t drink if my friends are not with so I can’t say this boy is a result of a one-night stand that I had when I was so drunk.

“Who the fuck are you?” I asked her as she sat on the chair opposite my desk. Her audacity provoked me.

“I am Amelia and I also have fucking idea of who you are.” She fired at me.

“Is it okay for you to curse in front of your son?” I was surprised that she was cursing in front of her kid.

“Don’t worry about that he’s deaf. ”

“Why are you here?”

“To ask for a place to stay and treatment for my son who is also your son.”

“We don’t even know each other,”

“Ha, you fucked me and left me a wristwatch that had HARTS inscribed on it.” Shit, is she right? I did lose my wristwatch but it can’t be.

“I am sorry to break it to Amelie.”

“It’s Amelia.” She cut me off to correct me, she is rude.

“Whatever but I don’t own that baby, if you need money ask politely. Don’t be gold-digging.”

“I bring my seven years old son that looks exactly like his dad to him and he is telling me I am a gold digger. Bitch, I have been taking care of him the whole, I am not asking to move in with you. I got broke after I had him. ”

“Don’t give me that sob story. Go away before I call the security to throw you out.”

“I know you are married and I am not here to ruin your motherfucking thing just give me what I ask and I will be on my own.”

“I have nothing to give you if you keep lying to me. Excuse me.” I turned my chair to face the curtains behind me.

“You will regret this.” She yelled and she left my office.

Right after she left Eloise came in and she sat on my lap, I did miss and I was surprised to see her in my office, it is likely she came with Leslie.

We left my office and we went to have dinner at the restaurant I reserved earlier, this Amelia girl ruined my mood.

My mind kept wandering to the boy’s face. He looked so much like me and I am so scared, how can I tell Eloise?

Who knew the redhead had legs in the press? Way to go to rip me, Amelia.

Chan was on his break, so I had not proceeded with investigating this redhead’s issue. My mom called me immediately after she saw the tabloids.

I didn’t say much to her, I only told her Eloise was pregnant. I had gone to Eloise’s room after she left the house. The door to the bathroom was wide open and I entered.

I saw the pregnancy test kit say she was pregnant, I knew she left after she saw the article. I should have explained things to her properly.

Chan came back to work a week after the issue occurred, I summoned him immediately to run an investigation on the redhead. I was sure I didn’t sleep with her.

A mail came in for me at the office, it was divorce papers and a small letter was attached to it.

Dear V.

I wasn’t sure of my feeling for you but now I know, I am so in love with you that it hurts to see that we can’t share anything, secrets, and problems. Our relationship isn’t strong enough and I am mentally exhausted.

I am pregnant. I will like us to end things quietly, I have informed our families and everyone has consented to this. Please don’t look for me, I am out of town for now. I will be back soon

I am not going to fight for custody of this kid, we will co-parent and I hope we remain good friends.

Best regards,

Eloise.

My heart shattered on reading this letter, here she goes again running away. I signed the papers and I sent them back to her.

This woman didn’t even give me a benefit of the doubt. She believes what the internet says about me, she left the house and turned off her phone.

Maybe I was scared that I may be the one responsible for the kid. I could have easily asked Victoria to track her location but I didn’t do anything. I didn’t even check her up at her own house. I am such a coward and I know it.

I got into my car and I went to the beach, there was this ice cream place that David and I loved when we used to come here when we were younger.

I got a cone of ice cream and I went to sit by the water. I remembered Eloise saying she wanted to have sex with me on the beach sometime and a tear slipped out of my eye.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
