MICHAEL'S P. O. V
I saw her at the main gate of my house and I couldn't believe it. It's been so many years since we broke up. I looked at her for a while and drove off. I spotted her at the mall and I ignored her again. Brianna questioned me about her but I didn't answer her because I didn't want spoil the day with my past. We spotted her again and this time she said something I couldn't believe.
"Michael let's talk about your son" she shouted
I immediately stopped the car. I sat in for a while. I didn't know whether to go or listen to her. I looked at Brianna and saw her shaking. I touched her
"Baby are you okay" I asked
"Y-y-y-you heard her right" she asked
I didn't say anything
"S-s-s-she said you have a son" she said
"Baby girl do you trust me" I asked
She had tears in her eyes
"Daddy I trust you" she said
"Good. I will never end things between us" I said
I stared at her through my mirror. After a while, I drove off.
We arrived home shortly and I quickly instructed my guards to lock the gate. Brianna quickly went inside as soon as I packed the car. I heard someone shouting outside the gate.
"She is back" I said to myself
I ignored her and went inside.
"Dad who is shouting outside" Ivana asked
I ignored her and went upstairs
I entered my room and saw Brianna on the bed
I went closer to her
"Baby girl why are you so quiet" I asked
"Daddy who is she" she asked
I picked her up and made her sit on my laps.
"Her name is Yolanda. She is my ex" I said calmly
"What happened between the two of you" she asked
I sighed. I wasn't ready to talk about her but I guess it's time to open up to Brianna because no matter what I won't let us separate.
"I met Yolanda twenty six years ago. Everything was fine in the beginning soon she became very demanding and I tried to make her happy. I tried to meet up with her demands. I adopted Andrew and Daniel was already with me soon so I couldn't meet up with her demands. I worked twenty hours a day to take care of her and the children but my best wasn't enough. One day she demanded a car from me. I told her to give me sometime but she kept insisting. I got a job at a gold mine and worked there. I left some jobs so that I could concentrate on working. I managed to get a second hand car for her but she didn't appreciate it. She kept making my life hell but I kept quiet because I loved her. One day I got into an accident and got in to a coma. I went in to coma for months when I got up and was discharged. I got to know that Yolanda has sold my things and she has taken all my savings. I had to work at the hospital for years to pay for my hospital bills. Thankfully I was able to provide for Andrew and Daniel because of the tips I got from the patients, visitors and workers there. Yolanda disappeared completely. I started building my life again. Months later I met Yolanda at a eating joint. I was a waitor there. I tried talking to her but she humiliated me and even called me a thief. I was arrested and sent to prison but I got bailed by a man who saw Daniel crying for me on the street. I met her again in a club one day but I was drunk so I don't remember exactly what happened. After that I never met her again" I said
Brianna hugged me crying
"Daddy you have been through a lot" she said
"Yes I have but the heavens rewarded me with Daniel, Jeffrey and you" I said
I kissed her. In the evening, we went to have dinner. After dinner we sat in the living room chatting. Ivana walked in and there was someone following her.
"Dad this woman has been waiting outside. She says she wants to talk to you" Ivana said
I ignored her. I got up
"Baby girl let's go to the bedroom" I said
I took Brianna's hand and walked away.
"Daddy she said she wanted to talk about your son. Please listen to her" Brianna said
"She never told me she was pregnant and neither did she look like she was pregnant the last time I saw" I said
"Daddy maybe when you met her at the club....(I didn't wait for her to complete her statement)
"Brianna I don't think something happened between us" I said
"But you said you don't remember what happened that night" she said
"I know but I am sure nothing happened. Even though I woke up in a hotel room" I said
"Daddy please talk to her once" she said
I nodded and hugged her.
I went downstairs and saw her standing in the living room. Brianna stood on the stairs.
"Yolanda what do you want" I asked
"Michael your son needs you" Yolanda said
"I don't remember you being pregnant the last time we met" I said
"Michael the last time we met, you were so drunk that you couldn't give me your address so I took you to a hotel room and there you forced yourself on me" she said
"What" I shouted and got up
"What do you mean by I forced myself on you" I asked
"Yes dear you were so heavy that I couldn't stop you" she said
I stood there silently for a while
"I am sorry" I said
"Michael you don't have to apologise because of that night I became a mother" she said
"I can't believe this so what you are saying is you have a son and I am the father" I asked
"Yes" she replied
"Alright then so where is he" I asked
"He is the reason why I am here. He has been hospitalized and he needs blood. He is in the same blood group as you and since your blood group is rare, it's difficult for us to get the blood. Please Michael he needs you", she said
"Alright I will donate my blood and pay for his bills. I will meet you tomorrow" I said
I asked the butler to escort her out. I returned to my room with Brianna following me.
"Daddy are you okay" she asked
"She is lying" I said
"Daddy how do you know" she asked
"I have a feeling in my heart" I said
I called Daniel and told him everything.
"Boss go and check if someone is in the living room especially Ivana" Daniel said
"Why" I asked
"Just do it" he said
I went to check and there was no one. Daniel arrived in ten minutes.
"Boss I smell something fishy" Daniel said
"I am going to demand for a DNA test" I said
"No boss. If it's a planned work like I think then they will forge the results" Daniel said
"Then what do I do? Should I accept the boy with open arms" I said angrily
"Exactly sir play along while I investigate secretly" Daniel said
"Then what will happen to me" Brianna said with teary eyes
"Baby girl nothing will happen. We will be together forever" I said
"I'm scared daddy" she said and hugged me
"Don't be Miss Bennett. I will make sure you two never break up or separate" Daniel said
"I will start right away" Daniel said
He left shortly.
The next day I arrived at the hospital with my bodyguards. Yolanda was standing outside waiting for me. We entered and I made sure to walk ahead of her because I can't stand her. She took me to my so called son.
We entered one of the wards. She led me to a bed which had a young boy on it.
" Thankyou for coming. Please let me wake him up" she said
"Michael" she called him
"This woman is a joke. She even called him by my name" I said to myself
She called him again and soon the boy opened his eyes
"Michael meet your father Michael Anthony Craine" she said
"Dad" the boy said looking at me
He smiled and I smiled back.
"Dad where have you been all this year" he asked
"Your mother will tell you about that" I said
The doctor arrived and I was taking to the Lab at I donated my blood.
I returned to the ward
"Dad I can't wait to live with you" he said
I acted like I didn't hear him.
"Dad will mum and I live with you" he asked
"I'm sorry but you and your mother can't live with me", I said
"Dad why" he asked
"I have already moved on. I have a girlfriend so I can't live with your mother but you can live with me if you want" I said
Suddenly I remembered Brianna's dream.
