"What was that about, honey? Why was your ex-wife here?" Hailey questioned, when Samuel entered the room.
"She came to ask protection for her and her son?" Samuel replied, removing his suit jacket and tie.
"Why would she come to you? She has her husband for that."
"Hailey, I have something to tell you." Samuel held her hands and bent his head. He didn't know how to start.
"What is it about, honey? Is everything alright?"
"I have a son from my marriage with Beth. His name is Eddie" Hailey stared at him quietly.
Moments passed. However, she remained silent. She didn't know that her silence was killing him.
"Listen Hailey. I did not know about it before. I got to know about him just today. I didn't hide anything from you. I am sorry. I am really very sorry. I am telling the truth. I promise." His voice choked at the end.
