After managing to make her hair and applying some light make up then allowed her to walk out.
Leaving her inside, Annie allowed her hair to fall on her back then got up and sat on the table as he walked in. He was taken aback by how she was but still walked to his seat.
"So tell me, why do you want to let go of your marriage?" She asked seductively confusing him.
"You are beautiful," he commented subconsciously and she smiled.
He loves sexy women but he could just make his wife look sexy, she is still beautiful.
She placed her hand on his and bent down to whisper in his ear.
"Make your wife look sexy and we will continue with our session tomorrow," she pecked his cheek and looked up to meet Pablo at the door staring at her.
"This is why you have not been picking my calls right?" He asked and the anger in his voice could not be missed.
Pablo has been her boyfriend for two years and never for once has he ever supported her career but right now she wasn't sure if she still had a boyfriend.
"Thank you for your time sir, we will have another session tomorrow," she smiled at him and after he walked out, she turned to face Pablo expecting the worst from him.
"I'm sorry for not picking your calls I didn't hear my phone ring," she apologized calmly.
"Because you were busy seducing your clients right?"
"No, I can explain,"
"I'm not interested, I only want you to do something between me and your job, chose one because I'm tired of all this nonsense,"
"But babe...,"
"It's either your job or me, choose one," Pablo he didn't seem to be joking and she didn't know what to do.
Both Pablo and her job were important to her, she wanted both in her life. Why on earth will he make her do something like this?
Aiden got out of his car and stared at the big mansion before him, how he wished he would have called it home but a home is filled with laughter, peace and togetherness which was lost the moment his mother died and he realized he just had another brother somewhere.
It can be understandable to know that your father has two wives but realizing it one week after burying your mother, is something else. As if that was not enough he had a brother and a sister, a brother who is three years younger than him, never in his wildest dreams did he ever think that his father had a mistress. They were a happy family or so he thought.
He stopped staying in that house when he was eighteen but that doesn't erase the fact that the five years he stayed there weren't the best, something he wishes to erase from his memory.
If he had a choice then maybe he just won't be here today but he has to because according to his dad the family gathering today is so important.
He was supposed to be here by exactly seven but he intentionally came ten minutes later and walking inside his dad, step mom, step sister, step brother and another lady were all seated on the table.
The only available seat was next to the girl and he didn't have a choice but to sit without uttering a word before they use his words against him.
"Good evening son," his dad started the conversation.
"Dad why am I here?" He went straight to the point.
"Son we are your family, what sort of question is that? I want to have some family time with all my children,"
Aiden looked at his father then the strange girl who was making advances at him and he immediately knew what his son wanted to ask.
"Son this Blanca, Blanca meet my first son, you know his name. Son very soon Blanca will be part of the family," he introduced them and the first thing was she was going to get married to Alex and he was surprised, she was making advances at him.
"Depending on how soon you are going to put a ring on her finger," Emelda, his step mom chipped in and he turned to face her.
"Excuse me, who talked to you or don't you have manners anymore?"
"Why am I not surprised, you've never had because if you did you won't have been a mistress in the first place," Aiden added.
"Who gave you the audacity to talk to my mother like that? Does she look like your dead mother?" Alex asked and that was the height of it.
He could take everything brought his way by those idiots but them bringing his mother up, he crossed the boundary.
It took him one second and the food on his plate was on Alex's face.
"What did you do to my son?" Emelda asked angrily.
"Teach him manners, you don't talk when elders are talking. Don't tell me you transferred your lack of manners to him,"
Alex rushed to him to strangle him but he pushed him away with his elbow, got up picked him from where he fell getting him by his neck and looked him in the eye.
"In your next life stay away from me," he warned punching him across the face making him fall across the room and Emelda got up immediately in anger ready to attack him but he chuckled instead.
"The tigress wants to kill me, I'll break your bones try me,"
"Aiden enough," Gerald shouted stopping him.
He wanted a family time to talk and not a fight.
"If you want to talk to me, you know where to find me but don't call me here again and this...," He looked at the girl strangely.
"Can never be my wife, if you want take her as your second mistress," he added and walked out.
Emelda ran to her son to see how he was as Gerald rushed after Aiden.
"Son," he called out as Aiden was about to open his car and he stopped.
"What?"
"I called you here to talk not to fight and we haven't talked,"
"To talk about?"
"The company," He calmed down because he cared so much about the company more than his own life.
For eight years of his life he watched his watched his mom work so hard for the company to reach where it was.
"What about it?"
"You know the board wants to put the new director in office so you have to show them how responsible you are,"
"In your understanding define responsible,"
"You need to have a family. Have a wife and kids and they will be convinced that you can handle the family affairs,"
His eyes grew dark and he clenched his fists, the frustration in him grew and the only thing he wanted right now was to hit something to get rid of the anger in him.
"That girl in there, I searched her for you. She will make a good wife and you will have really cute babies, she is pretty,"
"I want to be alone," he mummured entered the car and drove away leaving his dad still talking to himself.
Gerald couldn't understand his son, each time he brings up the issue of having kids, he walks out on him. It's every man's dream to have a family why was his son's case different?
He didn't want to believe his son was gay, but he has never seen him with a lady, his life is revolved around the company. He was frustrated but preferred to talk to him when he is calm for them to have an understanding.
Thinking he is gay doesn't make sense, he only has one best friend who has a fiancee, he isn't close to guys to. He pushed the thought away immediately maybe he is not just a socialite.
Gerald walked back inside and Emelda was helping Alex clean his bleeding lips.
"You see, I told you calling him here was not the best idea but you never listen because he is your first son. Is Alex not your son?" Emelda yelled and he sighed.
"Let me call the doctor to come check on you," he said picking the phone from the table.
"Dad why are you biased?" Claret talked for the first time since the drama started and he turned to face his daughter.
He wasn't biased but they treated Aiden badly while growing up, he wasn't there to defend him (Aiden) from them while he was growing up and now that he has learnt how to defend himself he didn't want to stand between them.
But how was he going to explain that without being biased? She may not be able to understand as she isn't a parent, he only wants to fill the gap he couldn't years ago.
He failed his wife and the memory still haunts him, he at least owes their son something.
