Chapter 65 COMPLICATED

"Tell me the truth Vince and stop playing with me," I said angrily to him but in a lower voice.

"I respected and love you despite what you did to me, Ley, so if you and Eugene have a secret, just keep it to yourself for the peace of those you protected because I have no plans to interfere in your life," he said

"Vince,"

"I still love you and that won't change and nothing can change then, so I won't let anyone ruin you or even your son."

"What do you mean?"

"Stay with your son, and send my regards to your husband," he said and turned as he walked away.

"Mommy, come on." When I looked at Uly he was already holding my hand. I hugged him and looked away at Vince.

Ulysses and I had already walked to pay and even in the car I couldn't get Vince out of my mind. I think my body seems to have its own brain because even though I wasn't on my own while driving, we still got home safely.

When I entered the gate, the maid met me to pick up what I had bought, I just see Eugene already arrived.

"Dada," Uly shouted when he saw Eu who had just gotten out of the car.

"You go with mom?"

"Yes dada, and you know what, I met a guy in the mall earlier, you and mom's friend. He said that a person who had a birthmark is special, which means I am special." Uly said while smiling and raising both hands then Eugene kissed his armpit so he giggled.

"Really what's his name?" Eugene was staring at me so I averted my gaze. Suddenly my heartbeat quickened because I was nervous about what Eugene thinks.

"Hmm, it's Vince." Dax frowned and looked at Ulysses.

"Vince?" he asked then looked at me.

"Yes dada, his name is Uncle Vince." I saw the hatred in Eu's eyes.

He kissed Ulysses and immediately went inside.

"Baby, I gotta change first then we can continue chatting later ok?"

"Okay, dada"

"Ley," Eu motioned his head to me as a sign to follow him.

"Baby, I'll just help dada to change, go first to nana."

"Okay."

I followed Eugene into the room who was now able to change clothes.

"Eu," I call in a lower voice.

"Tell me who's the guy Uly said?" I did not answer his question and I avoided looking at him. "I'm asking you, who's that guy?"

"V-Vince, he's free now."

"Fuck!" he said then kicked the chair.

Should we be nervous?

"What he said?"

"Nothing,"

"Are you sure?"

"We just accidentally met, and he wants to send regards with you."

He did not answer and come near me and hug me.

"I will protect you and my baby, don't worry,"

Should I tell him about what Vince said?

Maybe this is not the right time.

I AM HERE AT daddy's office because I want to talk to him. I just want to confess to him everything because I know that no one else can help me but him. I need to tell my family everything first before everything is going to expose.

"Maám Hailey, Sir Zacharias told me that he might be late. You can just wait for him inside his office." I nod at dad's secretary and go inside to sit in the chair opposite his table.

"Anything you need Maám, juice or something?"

"Nah, I'm good." The secretary left immediately after I answered her question. I sighed because I didn't know where to start until I stared at the table where our family pictures were placed.

Eugene and Ulysses also have their pictures.

I just let out a deep sigh when I remembered Eugene and I's conversation last day when Vince and I had met. Before we sleep I told him I was nervous about Vince's actions. I said that what if he knew something about what happened to me or what if Vince did that.

I had no idea how Eugene would react. But I was surprised.

He cries as he begs not to say everything on Uly even when gets old.

If I am the one to be asked, I don't want to know more about my son's identity. I am content for Eugene to be Ulysses's father because he does everything for my son. But even if we turned the world upside down we both know that he is not the real father, and what if it's Vince?

What if he did that to me?

What if Ulysses's real dad takes his right and he suddenly introduces himself to my son. How do I deal with all the lies to my family and Eugene's family?

I will surely kill him so I could get revenge.

I don't know if I'll be angry with the idiot who made me then. Even if we say that what happened was not good, but, the result was good.

Ulysses, my son, my life had a direction somehow and I had a purpose when he comes.

So, how can I get mad at that motherfucker if he gave me a Ulysses?

I had a headache thinking about everything.

Why does all this shit happen to me?

I just closed my eyes to somehow relieve the pain. Honestly, I don't care about them or me. All I think about is my son.

How can I explain to him our situation?

He's too young to understand everything.

Eugene and I are okay. We started as a family. I know that I don't feel that deep for him yet or let's say he still doesn't have a place in my heart as the man.

I played the role of being a good wife to him. Not only taking care of her personal needs but I also played the role of a wife in bed. I did everything so that I could somehow compensate for everything he did to me and my son.

I thought it was so easy to fall in love with the person who showed care and love for you. But I was wrong because it's not easy to fall in love especially with some who already holds your heart. It's hard to share with others the love that you once give to someone.

Messy, confusing, above all complicated.

I heard the door open. I thought its dad but when I open my eyes I saw Hunter standing in front of me.
