Chapter 97 - Do you believe in Fate? (2)

"No, it's alright. He should be coming over now. Thanks though and it's good to see you, Hugh. I didn't expect to see you here." April smiled.

Cefei scratched the back of his head. Didn't know if he stepped over an invisible boundary. "Yeah, It's nice seeing you too. I didn't know you were from here. So please, don't think that I followed you. My family lives here and does business around England."

April could see the awkwardness on his eyes. She chuckled. "Oh, by the way. This is my son, Sky. Sky, this is mommy's friend. You can call him Uncle Hugh." April gently pulled Sky to the front.

Sky's eyes were like a puppy, as Cefei finally focused his gaze on April's son. He could see the resemblance with him and his friend Alex. He bent one of his knees so Sky didn't have to look up. "Hello there, little fellow." He smiled warmly at him.

Sky looked at the man in front of him and then looked at his mom. April saw the hesitation on his eyes, so she nodded and smile to give him some encouragement. Seeing his mom smiling, Sky looked back to the person in front of him. "Hello."

Sky's voice was so small, he could barely hear. Yet that voice sounded so melodic, it made Cefei smile. "Have you been a good boy to your mommy during the flight?"

Sky nodded. "Sky was behaving." he answered.

Cefei patted Sky's hair. He was already fond of this young man. "That's good. Continue behaving and take care of your mom for me." he smiled and got up.

"If you change your mind, this is my number. Call me if you still need a ride home." Cefei handed April his card.

April accepted the card and looked at it. There wasn't anything else on it aside from a cellphone number. "Thanks, Hugh. I'll see you around then. This is my business card." April handed him hers.

There was also a cute tiny dog in a mug beside it. Cefei couldn't help but smile. "Thanks. I'll see you around. You too little fellow." He ruffled Sky's hair and turned around. Seeing that his boss was coming back, Tommie helps his boss get in the car and closed the door.

April looked at the card on her hand again, she sighed and pocketed it. She took out her phone again and started dialing Alex's cellphone. "Sorry, the number your dialing is currently unavailable. Please call again."

She bit her lips and sat down near a waiting bench. She helped Sky sat down and pulled the trolly closer. She waited and waited, hoping that Alex was just on traffic. 30 minutes past and still no sign of the man in question. It was now almost 8 in the morning.

"Mommy? where is daddy?" Sky couldn't help but wonder.

April patted her son's hair and pulled him in her embrace. "Daddy probably is busy." She didn't want to think about it. She didn't dare think that Alex had forgotten his promise to pick them up.

"Let's call Aunt Josie and see if she can get us. Is that okay?" April smiled at her son. Although she was disappointed at Alex, she needed to stay calm. There must be a reason why he didn't show up.

Josie instantly picked up the phone and said that she'll be there within the next 30 minutes. April sighed in relief and patted her son. Alex, where are you? she whispered in her heart.

"She is still waiting, Sir. Should we give them a ride?" Tommie announced. That's right, they haven't left the Airport. Instead, they had turned around and parked somewhere close yet hidden from view.

Actually, Tommie didn't have to tell him. Cefei was looking at April and Sky. Unbeknownst to him, his fist was clenched tightly at the sight. Alex, oh Alex. What are doing now? He gritted his teeth.

-----

Alex woke up feeling sick as hell. His head was throbbing with pain that he couldn't help but m.o.a.n. He massaged his temples, trying to recall what happened last night. Just then, he heard someone singing as well as shower noises. His eyes opened and noticed the familiar room. He was inside the master bedroom, where he used to sleep in before.

Of course, he knew who was singing. Francesca had the hobbit of singing when she takes the shower. Alex sat up and noticed that he was n.a.k.e.d under the comforter. 

"F.U.C.K!!!!" He mouthed yet no noise could be heard. He instantly got up and gathered his clothes. In a jiffy, he put it on as fast as he could. He glanced at the clock by the bedside and noticed the time. It was already 9 in the morning. His eyes widened and remembered that he was supposed to pick up April and his son. F.U.C.K, F.U.C.K, F.U.C.K, F.U.C.K!!! He cursed inside his head. Instantly, he took out his phone and noticed that it was off. He turned it on and hoped that April was picked up by her servants.

Just then, the shower was turned off. Francesca came out with only the bathrobe on. "Darling, your awake." She flashes her gorgeous smile at him.

Alex's eyes glared at Francesca. "WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT?!!!"

Francesca was taken aback. "What do you mean what happened?"

Alex sat back down in the bed and held his head. "YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I MEANT!"

"Darling, what's wrong?" Francesca walked close and gently hugged him.

"FRANCESCA! DON'T PLAY JOKES ON ME! What did you put on that wine!? I know my limit and I would never be drunk that fast!" He shrugged off her arms away from him and stood up.

"What's wrong with sleeping with your wife? We are still married, Alex! It's not like its a sin to have s.e.x with me!" Francesca glared at Alex. Not admitting anything.

"F.U.C.K!!! Don't take me as a dumb person! I would never want to sleep again with you, I am already taken by April!" He clenched his fist tightly.

"ALEX! I am your wife! THAT BITCH ISN'T WORTH ANY OF YOUR TIME! Alex, please. Let's fix this. We can fix this marriage. Just give me a chance. I will make up for everything that I owe you. I only need once chance!" She begged on her knees and held his leg.

Alex was furious. He didn't thought that Francesca would actually pull a trick on him. "F.U.C.K! April is much kinder than you! Who are you calling a bitch?! Didn't you throw me away since you are busy with your career?! Now your begging for me, when I don't want to be in this relationship anymore?! Just what kind of woman did I marry?! My parents were right, I should've listened to them! You aren't worthy to be my wife!" He pulled her away from him and pushed her body into the bed. Alex turned around and left, not waiting for her reply.

Seeing that he was leaving, Francesca got up and try to catch him just before he leaves the mansion. 

"ALEX!!!"

Alex stopped by the door but he didn't turn around. "Don't make me hate you more than I already am" He whispered. He tried to move again but stopped at her reply.

"HAHAHAHA! GO! LEAVE AND GO TO YOUR MISTRESS! Once you leave this mansion, I promise that I will make her life miserable! Your threats has no effect on me! So what?! You wanna f.u.c.k with my company? Who gives a damn, Cause I don't! If I don't have you in my life, what's the use of it?! HAHAHAHA! Let's see who has the last laugh." Francesca yelled out loud.

This time, Alex turned around to see Francesca leaning at the last step of the stairs. "You are despicable!" With that, he turned and left.

Francesca laughed and laughed until tears came out from her eyes. Alex already left and there was no turning back. Their marriage was over, really over this time. "Why, why did you leave me? Why can't you choose me?! WHY?!!!"

Beverly was at the side. She stayed inside the Mansion last night as her boss's order. When she heard her boss yelling, she ran as fast as she could to see if something bad happened. She saw and heard their short conversation. Beverly looked towards her boss and sighed.

"April, I hope you are ready." She whispered softly. She knew her boss so well, she had been with her for almost 10 years. Once Francesca says something, she would do it without hesitation.
