Chapter 156: Opening up
Amaris's POV
How many days have it been? It felt like forever as though chose to ghost me after that incident. I just could tell he was tensed over something. Here I was in the lobby, trying out some of Aaron's assignment.
While he was running about with his toys which is the reason why I was missing Flynn.
He just knows how to sit the kid back and make him learn from the homework but I just don't have time.
The doorbell rang and Aaron suddenly stopped. I wasn't expecting anyone but I rushed to attend to whosever it was.
Of course, I expected to see Flynn but it was Mia, looking dull and stressed like the world was ending on her.
"Amaris" she weakly called while letting out a whisper. My eyes glanced at her as I quickly ushered her in.
"What's wrong Mia?" I asked directing her to the sitting room. Aaron had a stunned gaze at her as he only waved politely and vanished.
I knew he was expecting it to be Flynn that's why he came closer to assert the guest but it was mia after all.
There was silence and I moved to the kitchen to brew coffee for her because it was obvious she didn't want to talk or share her experience.
At least not now.
Once I was done brewing the coffee, I handed it to her and sat beside her.
My eyes watched her every action and she was scared, scared of the unknown which creeps me out.
She sniffed while heaving a sigh.
"You might not know amaris but I have a secret...I mean about my love life in the past" she began making me more thrilled to know where she was heading to with her discussion.
"Uhmm...okay? Go on, I'm listening" I said in a sober tone while curiously staring at her with probbing eyes.
"There's this guy I had a toxic relationship with..." She paused, her voice choked with tears and her body barely made a dent where she sat.
She gulped down the coffee again and suck her breath, her hand brushed her hair to the back as she chuckled hysterical.
That's what she does when she wants to hide her fears. I wasn't saying a word, I just wanted her to do her own thing.
"Well just to summarize it all, I escaped him with a child and now, he is back and I'd only be free if...I give him back his child"
"What! You have a child? Seriously Mia?" I questioned shocked to hear it from her lips and she only shrugged not looking bothered but tensed.
"I never wanted the child...I mean I don't want to have a child of a monster..."
"He or she is just a child" I barked trying not to raise my voice but breathing heavily because nothing made sense.
"Yes and I regret it, he is just a kid and he is probably, 10 years now"
I covered my mouth, frustrated and anguished that she casually said that which only means it's been a while.
"I was young then, in my teenage years amaris, you don't expect me to keep a child that my family was against"
"You should have fought for that baby nevertheless, where are you going to find him from? Oh God!" I panic wanting to scold her but it wasn't really her fault, she was just scared.
"If the child was from 10 years ago...how comes this ex guy of yours is only showing up now?"
"He was locked up amaris because of me and...well I guess he got out and tracked me down"
I ran a finger through my head as she was sobbing while I grew perturbed and pertrified on her behalf.
"And your wedding with Aiden? I mean you finally found love after dropping your old habits of fucking around with men"
"Stop amaris, are you mocking me? It ain't my fault I got addicted to sex, it's because of that psychopath who treats me as his whore day and night" she barked fuming at me and I gnashed my teeth.
I felt bad for saying that, probably because I was pissed off too from the revelation.
"I'm sorry if that hurts"
She leaned her back on the couch and heaved a sigh.
"I called off the wedding"
"What!"
I widened my eyes at her as this was becoming really serious and the fact that I could do nothing pisses me off.
"I had no choice, I mean he was willing to you know hurt him and so it's the only thing I could think of to protect him"
"Oh no, don't you think you should have opened up to him, probably he would have caught your ex!"
"I really don't amaris, he was nice of some sort and the next thing he was..."
"What! Are you trying to tell me you haven't gotten over him?"
She was quiet as she closed her eyes and pointed the mug towards me to hold.
"I don't know amaris, I really love my fiancee and I don't want anything to do with my ex" she confessed sobbing softly.
I placed the mug on the table close by while consoling her. I couldn't even say it was okay because nothing was fine.
It seems like another chapter of her life was about to begin or just started and she needed someone right give her hope that it was going to be okay.
"The only option we have is to find...uhmm this child" I said dryly while stroking her back.
"I don't think it would be that easy"
"Yeah it would if Flynn..."
There was a pause in my line as I recalled I haven't really heard from Flynn which definitely means we ladies might just be the ones who would find the child.
"This is all screwed up, I just have a feeling he'd be stalking me until he gets a hold of me" Mia confesses and I sigh.
"Not while I'm here Mia, we'd pull through this together"
