Thinking about what had almost happened last night Addy had a little wake up call.This man had not suffered a lot ..he impregnates her ,then cheats and all of a sudden he comes back like nothing had happened .If she was any smarter the man upstairs wouldn't be here in her house .
She was angry ,betrayed and hurt too by him not Bridget or anyone else but him.Then there was that annoying part
of her heart that wanted to forgive him but then he was still being an arrogant jerk.He didn't even apologise for what he did.
She was busy making breakfast when he came in smiling as if everything was just great.
"When are you leaving?"he didn't even look surprised by her words.
"In a few hours I will be leaving ...thought I would have breakfast with my son first."He sat opposite her and ate in silence.
There is the man she knows ,the coward she married ,the man who usually avoids serious matters .She wouldn't beg him to stay if that's what he wants.A man has to fight for his woman not the other way round.
"I'm going to work today so Thomas has a babysitter coming in later .If you want to take him with you feel free."He was watching her and with her back turned to him she still knew.
"I have to go back to work too so i guess maybe i will come get him later so he could spend some time with me."
"You're not working tomorrow?"Maybe he wants to kidnap my son
"I'm gonna be off tomorrow ...I just need a day to get settled at my new place."He didn't pay any attention to her and for a minute she thought he was being secretive about something.
"I need to get ready so you can stay with Thomas until the nanny gets here."With that she went to get ready and later went to work.
Everything was thankfully well with the company .Not until her best friend showed up that is.
"Adrian ?Why are you here and you look like you want to kill someone."Adrian was seething ,his hair was messed up and if he kept pacing around like that he might actually leave a mark on the floor.
"What is it ?"As irritating as it was for me I was worried .
"Your husband ...that idiot of a man just bailed out Bridget ."
"What ?He wouldn't do that .Alex would never let her out."So that's why he didn't even protest when I said he should leave and here I thought he had changed.
"Its fine if she is released that way I can take my revenge without any inhibitors ."She took everything from me and that woman and Alex will know never to mess with me again.
I know what makes Alex loose his sanity ,all I have to figure out is how to break Bridget .
"Addy you're being too calm about this .Are you sure you're ok?I mean you seemed happy with him by your side"
"He was never by my side,this just proves to me how stupid I was about everything."I gave him a chance to redeem himself and all I got was betrayal.
My lunch was delivered to me and I had to share it with Adrian since he didn't want to leave me alone .I was glad I had a friend to keep me company or I would have gone back to the closed off woman I was in the past.
We were busy laughing and enjoying our little lunch date when my dear husband decided to make his presence known .
"What is he doing here?"He growled at Adrian who was not even giving him the time of the day .
"Do you need anything Sir ?"I was gonna let him know his attitude was misplaced .
"Sir?What's the meaning of all this Addy ?"He was putting on his fake innocence mask on and I was not going to be duped again.
"If you have nothing of importance to say to me Alexis you may leave."I was angry but this is my place of work and I kept my attitude in check.
"I see so he is the one you've being whoring yourself to,you don't even need to deny it, I can tell the sex is great between you too."I wanted to be angry with him ..to throw things at him but then I thought I might as well go in for the kill.
"Now you know.I would appreciate it if you left, we need to talk about how we're gonna raise our unborn baby."I said this as a stroked my tummy gently.
He went really pale at hearing that and like a fool he believed me again which just shows how little he knows about me.Adrian was just standing there somewhere between being shocked and amused.
"You're pregnant with his child?I thought you loved me -no you love me and you would never do that to me."There were tears silently falling his eyes...I wanted to run into his arms and say the truth but I have given this man so many chances to fix everything and he took me for granted.
"I never said I loved you ...it was all in that head of yours ."I just needed him to leave
"I get it.Then goodbye Addy I'm sorry for interrupting your lunch."He left as quickly as possible .Maybe I went too far with that lie
"You know you just sent him straight to Bridget right?"Adrian cleared our little lunch and handed me a tissue box .I knew I was gonna cry when he left but today I just didn't feel like wasting my tears in someone who didn't deserve them.
"I'm fine besides if he goes to her I would know how he truly feels."I hope he just goes home and does whatever.
"He cares about you,I hope you know that."
"I thought you hated him?"I glared at him.
"Don't give me that look Addy ...that man was crying and you don't think he cares?"Adrian was just making me feel guilty.
"He needs to fight for what he wants not act like a child."
"Ok.See you later Baby momma."After Adrian left I almost called him to apologise and take everything I said back but then I thought about him and that woman and my anger came back full force.
I just need a really good plan to get rid of her permanently and no I won't kill her maybe ship her to a foreign country or something.
Alexis was sobbing like a crazy pregnant woman going on and on of how he lost his wife when a realization hit him...it was his fault everything that happened was all because of him.
He cheated on his own wife all because he felt that she was a closed off book and even if he knew that she was afraid of getting married to a total stranger .If he wasn't a coward he would have found a better way to have her get comfortable with him instead of being the arms of another woman,his secretary for that matter.
His secretary was a great woman at the time ,and like a fool he thought she loved him and that's why he gave in and tried to work things out but that still didn't work since his stupid mistake that night gave him a beautiful son.
That night he did not regret anything .Addy of course was hurt after he foolishly called Bridget and he realised that was also one of his mistakes.
He was drunk but sober enough to remember how sexy his Addy was in short pajama shorts and that flimsy T-shirt that showed her hard nipples when he kissed her.And he sure as damn well knows she was a virgin which was also why his cowardice showed as he felt guilty for taking her innocence that way.
Maybe he should just go to her and apologise but first he had to find a way to deal with Bridget who had threatened him .
It was not because of sympathy that he bailed her out but Bridget knew a lot of his secrets and even his birth story which would leave his parents devastated and probably in a coffin.
The fact that his father had an affair with his secretary and had him was enough to have his family in coffins.His sister would probably have a nervous breakdown and he just couldn't deal with that.In all honesty his mother or to be precise his father's wife who was the one who raised him loved him as if he was hers.
He was not hurt or anything like that because sometimes men do crazy things and at that time his father was a cold ruthless man .He did hurt a bit when he found out his biological father passed away due to cancer but he was still grateful to have had Ethan Mathews be his father.
All he needed was to have something on that witch and his life would be ok ...and then he would apologise to Addy for all the damage he had done.
He would not be petty or angry with that man that makes her happy.If he takes care of Addy better than he ever did then he was ok with their relationship.
He got himself cleaned up and went to pick Thomas up.
As soon as he got at Addy's house he felt happy and he knew where his heart was .Addy was always going to be his home .
He knocked and waited until Addy let him in.For a minute he stood there gawking at her beautiful sexy long smooth legs .Why was she even wearing shorts it wasn't even hot.
"Are you gonna come in ?"Addy frowned at his expression and he realised he had not entered and was staring at her with his mouth open.
"Yeah sure.Is Thomas up ?"He needed a distraction fast before he did something he would be sorry for.
"No.He just went to sleep ,did you come to pick him up?"He knew she was still angry even if she was being civil with him.
"Yes,Should I come back later ?"He wished that she would tell him to stay ...he just wanted to be near her.
"You can wait for him if you want to.I don't really mind Alexis ."With that she went to the kitchen to prepare dinner and like a love sick puppy he followed her and watched as she expertly moved around her kitchen while he ogled at her body more like her legs.
"How far along are you ?"She turned towards him with her cute hair falling over her face which she kept blowing off.
"Far along with what?"She is a bit weird ...what pregnant woman wouldn't know how to answer that question
"With your pregnancy?"He watched her go from a red blush to a pale colour
"I...uh...the thing is ...well I just found out so I'm not sure."She abruptly turned around abruptly and almost knocked the pot off the stove.
"Are you okay?"He rushed over to her and turned her towards him and checked whether she had any injuries or not.
"I ...Alexis would you move please?"He was so entranced by her eyes that he stood there staring at her ...imprinting her face into his mind.
"Alexis!What are you doing?" Her loud voice brought him back to reality.
"Sorry about that."he knew he was not sorry for falling in love with her .He was sorry he screwed everything up with her.
"I think I will go check on Thomas and then you two can eat then head home."
Maybe he should just apologize and get everything off his shoulder .
"Addy I need to talk to..."
"If it isn't Alexis Mathews I'll be damned ." Bridget was here in her house ,what if she tells Addy everything ?He had to get her out before Addy came back.Why is this woman trying to ruin his life?
"Bridget! What the hell" If Addy comes back or even sees her all hell will break loose and I'm trying to work things out with Addy and this thing shows up here.
"Well hello Alexis,you look angry sweetheart"Bridget knew how important Addy was to Alexis and she couldn't stand it .
"Leave or else I will make sure you never see that sick son of yours again!"Alexis knew he had hit the spot when her eyes went all glazed and she cowered back
"You would never harm a child Alexis,I ...I know you love me you just need to leave that witch...." For a minute she turned pale as she looked behind Alexis and was met with a very furious Addy ,she knew she was pissed and out for blood as she hurried down the steps so fast that in second her palm had connected with Bridget's cheek.
Alexis knew what he had hoped won't happen was going to occur at that moment as Addy and Bridget tumbled to the ground with Addy punching the hell out of Bridget that he had to stop the fight.
With all his strength he yanked Addy off Bridget who kept crying on the floor ,clutching her bloodied nose .
"I will kill you if you ever show up here again !"Addy growled at Bridget who left at an alarming speed.
With much relief that Addy had not committed murder he let her go and as soon as he did she slapped him so hard he knew with the metallic taste in his mouth that his lip was cut.
"Get the fuck out of my house Alex!"So now he knows she has a temper ...he wanted to be angry but he just couldn't .
He stalked towards her and she again slapped him but not with much strength ,she kept hitting him with all the energy she had left which wasn't a lot considering she just bulldozed Bridget.
"I'm sorry Addy,please calm down love."He hugged her and she cried her eyes out and in that moment she just let him comfort her.
They stood like that in front of the still open door in each others embrace when Addy suddenly remembered that he was here for Thomas .
"I need to go check on Thomas."She pulled away from him and headed upstairs while he went to the kitchen to put some ice on his now swollen lip.
"The little lady sure can hurt a grown ass man."He winced as the ice met his lip.
He watched Addy put Tommy on his chair and fed him while she ignored his presence .
"Can we talk?"he sat opposite her in the dining room since her kitchen was an open plan.
"About what?"She spat angrily and didn't even bother to look at him.
"I didn't know she was coming ...I swear."Lord knows how he hated apologizing or any sort of begging.
"You bailed out the woman that tried to kill me and you want me to talk to you?"She maintained her anger as her baby was there and didn't want him to know they were fighting .
"Its complicated ...it was just for old times sake."With the nasty look she gave him ,he knew his words were adding to the wound.
"Of course it was.The two of you must be trying to kill me then.Alexis this right here ...."She pointed Thomas. "...is your son and I won't keep him from you but listen to me very clearly ...if that bimbo of yours comes near me or my son I will bury the two of you alive.
CHAPTER 4
"Her words were believable and it looked like I did not know her at all.
A few minutes later Alexis and Thomas left Addy's house and for a minute he wanted to apologize again and again until he was forgiven for acting stupid but he knew when to leave an angry woman alone and right now Addy was and still is pissed.
Some hours later Addy was still pissed and boy did she want blood -her blood to be specific.
She had heard the whole conversation between Bridget and Alexis and she had wondered what that idiot of a husband was so afraid of.
She had to find out what was going on and why Alexis seemed to let that woman roam around as if she hadn't hurt her.
The truth will be revealed sooner and Addy had plans for that twit and if Alexis was to butt in she could as well kill two birds with one blow.
On the other side Bridget was nursing her wounds .That trash of a human being called Addy had assaulted her and no she wasnt afraid of her it's just that she had taken her by surprise and with Alexis finding out about her baby boy she knew his words held some truth but she still chose to ignore him.He loved her and he would not hurt a child .She convinced herself that was the truth she finally let her plans take place.
"Brent publish those reports now."She let out a chuckle as she knew how this news was gonna ruin everything for Alexis and how he was gonna come running back to her but little did she know that Addy private investigators were already on her ....
As Addy finished reading the news that day she felt pity for Alexis and his family to have all their drama known by society was just too much .
So this is what that crazy Bridget had on Alexis and for a minute she was angry at him for letting her break his family like that.It would just be better if that woman died or just migrated to those cold countries maybe she'd freeze to death.
She felt dread at the sight of reporters camped out the Mathews house.Her baby was in there and can't people just let family issues be just that.
As soon as she was let in by the guards at the gate she drove over to the huge mansion that she still couldn't believe how beautiful the landscape was but today was a bad day.
She leapt out of her car and almost jogged all the way up the many steps but decided against it seeing how sweaty she got."That's what you get for being a lazy ass" She took in a deep breath as she knocked on the huge door.
As soon as the door opened Henry the Butler almost seemed relieved to see her and he ushered her to where the family was gathered with Alexis's mother sobbing on her son's shoulder.
Mr Mathews was no where to be seen since all the mess had been about his infidelities and guessing by the bloody shirt Alexis had on shit might have hit the roof.
"My son?Alexis!"I looked around and everyone was here except for Thomas and he wasn't one to nap this early in the morning.
"Is that all you care about Addy?My family is in distraught and all you want is Thomas?"What the what!He did not just say that -not to me
"Listen here you foolish-idiotic jerk !This right here is all your fault and that wench that you got out of jail and don't you dare give me that bullshit!" I herd gasps around the room ,well I guess their son failed to mention that it was all Bridget.
"Your mistress knew about a family matter like this Alexis and you failed to let us know!"His mother went all crazy-ape on him and I thought he might cry at the guilt look that was so evident on his face.
Maybe I should help him a little... well he is a stupid goat but I like him -only about 2% anyway.
"Mrs Mathews the truth was bound to be known anyway but what those people out there need to see is a strong family that is united not one that fights."At the corner of my eye I saw Mr Mathews arrive with my little bambino who cackled as soon as his eyes saw me.
"Mom ,Addy is right and I know you and dad will work through this ."Alexis hugged his mother and wiped the tears off her beautiful aging face.
"I want to apologise the family for this mess even though it happened years ago ."Mr Mathews handed Thomas over to me as he apologized.
"I want that woman put in jail Alexis and don't care how sorry you feel for her "His sister growled at him and for a second I had the urge to smirk .This would be easy to deal with that skunk, she dug her own grave.
"I already have men looking for her ."Alexis confirmed.Now he wants to get rid of her?Stupid idiot.
"Is it okay if I leave with Thomas?"I looked at Alexis who looked at me weirdly.
"I don't think its safe for you to be in that house alone and you know how crazy Bridget is .Just stay here until she is found Addy."
"But I ...."
"I wasn't asking you Addy!You will do as I say ."He growled at me and I knew in that moment that his family had slipped out of the room unnoticed.
"And who are you to me to do as you say ?"I followed him upstairs to his room after placing Thomas in his room which was just opposite Alexis.
"I'm your husband Addy and you will do as I say."he growled as he shut the door .
"Let me remind you that we're divorced Mathews so stop all this nonsense and let me go home."I got in his personal space I was really pissed as soon as he mentioned the husband part.
"No."When he said that let's just say I may have slapped him hard .
"What are you gonna do ?"
Within an instant I was on his bed with him straddling me and his face all up my neck sniffing for whatever and my poor manicured hands held in tight lockdown grip above my Head.This guy is next on my hit list for all this manhandling .
"This temper of yours Addy cannot be tolerated by me and you my little kitten better keep your claws in check.''
If I wasn't so turned on by this right now I would have slit his throat for calling me a cat .Well i haven't got any action and as any woman I also had needs so i let him continue trailing those kisses all over my exposed neck as he let go of my hands which were now tearing his shirt open ...I'm in a rush and he is available now I might as well use him too.
I just hope Thomas doesn't get a little sister from all this .
I felt so comfortable as if I was floating on air and then I heard this little calming sound of a person's heartbeat and I chuckled when I thought it was my baby Thomas since he always played with my hair but when I moved my hand up I knew when I touched a torch wait a minute!That is!oh hell no! I sprang out of bed so fast I had all the sheets with me and my fine ass ex-husband was sprawled out on his bed in all his glory and I knew in that minute that I fucked up real bad .Me being the nervous freak I am and knowing that idiot's sperm always hit a home run I searched the whole room for a condom or any sort of evidence of some protection and when I couldn't find any I had the sudden urge to stab him to death .
For a while a just sat there staring at him like a creep,waiting for his stupid ass to wake up so I can kill him but he just slept like a baby and for a minute I thought I might just have to go down and ge"Mathews!"I yelled in his ear and held back a chuckle as he sprang out of bed so fast without his clothes on.
"Really?Can't you just let me be Addy?"he got his pants on and glared at me .
"Don't give me that attitude when you had just impregnated me you man whore!"okay maybe I was a little extreme but its like I knew already that I had his baby ...call it a woman's intuition.
"You're not pregnant Addy,would you just shut it for a minute."
Did he just tell me to shut up ?I don't know how or what evil possessed me but I flung the lamp at his face before I knew what I had just done .
"What the fuck!you almost killed me."He glared at me and I couldn't care less and hoped that I had hit him.t that knife but I decided to be a bitch and wake his annoying ass up.
"You are just a pain .You know that we had unprotected sex and the least you could do is act like you care but no!its all sunshine and rainbows to you ."I think I'm hormonal or something .I have never been this pissed off in my entire life.
"Just say you regret this Addy and stop making me out to be the bad guy.I love you damn it and yes I know last night shouldn't have happened but I...just want to be with you .Is that so bad ?to want to love you without any guilt?" He sat down on the bed and stared at me with the most vulnerable look that it had me feeling dejected .
"I...uh...you said you love me?"Why did that just come out of my mouth.I turned around and swore silently when I heard him chuckle.
"I do love you Addy and I will always regret and apologise for what I did ."he stood up and felt his body heat when he was close enough .
"I don't want to do this again Mathews ,you hurt me and if I give you a chance and you screw up again ...I will kill you this time."I turned around to meet my husband.I knew I loved him and there was no reason to keep him away from his child or me since I always thought of him.
"I won't let you down Addy .Besides if by chance you are pregnant that means you and I are going to be together when Thomas's little sister is born."He hugged me for a few minutes and then had this full blown grin that had me thinking he had lost it.
"I didn't know you were a screamer?"I swear my face became red when he said that and wanted to punch him .I usually have this urge to be violent with him.
"Shut up and besides you were begging when..."He shut me up with a mind shuttering kiss and that's when I knew I loved him and will always remain so.
The End.
I had a very serious case of not knowing where to go with this story.I know she should never have forgiven him but she loves him and we all deserve a second chance.
