Chapter 214 Chances
1850words
Since the day I encountered Anna, Andrew's sister, she has somehow changed completely. There is no face-making, no sarcasm, no hate, no bad words at all. She ignores me completely every time even if it's at the breakfast table or the dinner we all have together or the birthday party of Cyrus and Aaron.
She has become less bothered by my presence but that doesn't fit well with me. I wonder if this brother and sister duo up on something else something new to destroy me.
The next day, Andrew starts to set the room of the kids on his floor so that Aaron would stay close to me. Such a kind heart, but I could feel something suspicious brewing between this evil brother and sister. I don't trust their kind-hearted deeds, no way.
They had before also pretended to be caring and loving to me while in reality, they had such cruel intentions for me.
I wonder what they are up to on setting Cyrus and Aaron's room on this floor?
I feel panic rising in me when suddenly my phone rings and unknowingly a calm feeling starts to cover my perplexed heart.
"Hello." I greet with an anxious voice and the other person was quick to notice it.
"Tessa, are you ok?" Aiden asks and for the first time, his concern brings a smile to my face.
How weird and unexpected life would be the one I had always thought of as a negative and harmful person turns out to be the most genuine and caring person.
While the one to whom I had given all my life, and had poured all my life too turns out to be the evilest and most harmful person to me.
Although, still to this day I am unable to accept this truth. I don't understand why he did those things to me, why he used me and broke my heart in such a bad way.
He had crushed all the happiness, all my dreams, all the love fantasies I had ever believed.
He has taken away my soul and now I am nothing but a body with no soul, no feelings, no emotions.
Except for my kids, I don't think I would ever be able to face him in this life at all and his cruel sister, Anna, too.
Sometimes life makes you so much more helpless than even when knowing the true intentions of others you still fall into their trap with just that little one percent hope that they might change, they might not betray you again. They might realize how much they mean to me.
Sigh
The more I think about Andrew the more distressing my mind gets.
As it's good to spend this distressful time talking with Aiden and distracting my mind from all the negativity.
I happily welcome him into my life this time because somehow this time his presence and vibes feel different to me, and I don't feel disgusted by him anymore.
I just made a mistake in realizing his true self.
He was stubborn and impatient before but his heart was never bad. He always carries a good heart and he hides it under his muscular body keeping it safe and locked.
But now he is willing to open it up to me, so I will happily let him have this chance.
As I had hoped all the negative and distressing thought goes away from my mind after I talk to Aiden. He is a good listener, a new thing I just discover about him.
At night, I finally enter the kid's room with a few of Cyrus's belongings that are left in my room. Cyrus seems reluctant to sleep without me, but If I won't make him used to sleeping without me he would keep whining like a small baby.
He has to grow up now. Aaron is the same as his age and he sleeps alone in his room with no fear and no tantrums at all. Even when Aaron is a few minutes younger than Cyrus, he behaves quite maturely as compared to his age, and the way Cyrus acts is always foolish.
I wonder if Cyrus has got his father's look and my brain, while Aaron is gifted with my looks and his cunning father's brain.
Sigh.
I don't want my son to be like Andrew. That man is good for nothing.
But you had fallen in love with that man just from his one sight, and don't forget it was head over heels love, Tessa Will.
Mu subconscious wakes up breaking all the little pride that I had been keeping in myself.
Well, thank you for the shameful reminder.
After putting the kids to bed and convincing Cyrus that I will keep my door unlocked and he is just a few steps away from me, I finally leave their room. While walking out I couldn't help but turn towards the room to glance once at it. This was the music room before and I remember the first time we entered this room what I and Andrew had done.
Suddenly, my insides start to burn as I quickly get into the shower as soon as I reach my room back.
"He lied, he cheated." I keep murmuring under the shower, my heart starts to get heavy as I shed a few tears of sorrow and remorse.
What I had lacked in our relationship was that he didn't even hesitate once in hurting me.
If he had got some courage to fight with Ann or reveal the truth to me, maybe things would be different tonight.
I wouldn't be alone in this shower crying miserably at my broken heart and shattered love.
With a numb mind, I pick up my nightdress and quickly wear it, I was supposed to turn to sit on the stool to dry my wet hair when the door knocks and before I am able to open the door, Andrew enters inside unwelcomely.
My heart had already been burning from his betrayal and the fury starts to rise in my body when he blurts out the words that bring sweet memories of us, "You look beautiful."
I wish he really meant those words for me, he lifts his foot getting closer to me and somehow I am unable to stop him waiting for him in anticipation.
My back hits the wall and finally, I am trapped by him, I have the whole chance to push him away from me, or slap him across his face but no my desires didn't allow my limbs to move at all.
He touches my cheek and the cold ice in my heart starts to break off as I lean into his touch, his warmth is relaxing, he parts my lips as an involuntary moan escapes my mouth and on his command, I flicker open my eyes in an instant.
His breath gets deeper, his gaze intense as he lowers his mouth, just inches away from me when a voice startled us both.
"Mommy..." Andrew moves away in an instant while I look in the direction of the voice.
"Cyrus... What happened?" I walk anxiously towards Cyrus and then crouch down in front of him. "Bad dream... I had a bad dream, Mommy." He wraps his arms around my neck and hugs me tightly in fear.
"Save me, Mommy." He slurs still in his sleepiness and I inhale a sharp breath, "You have just saved, Mommy." I mumble under my breath and then completely ignore Andrew's presence in my room. I take Cyrus to bed and then lay down beside him while covering us both in a blanket. Andrew stays glued to his place lost in a daze while I pretend to be sleeping and a few minutes later, I hear the door of the room open and then closed.
BOOM
I open my eyes embarrassedly and then stare at the door for a moment. What had got into me just now?
Keep fair distance from this man, he isn't good for you, Tess.
I warn myself and then look at the blessing in my arm if it wasn't him I would have fallen into Andrew's trap and will have given him what he always needed from me.
Sex, a pure physical satisfaction, nothing else, that would later make me sink into the mud of guilt and remorse.
*****
The next day I try my best to stay normal and not get bumped into Andrew. Last night was already very embarrassing, I don't want anything more shameful to happen to me.
But one thing is sure I need to keep my distance from him, he is the man whose one look could make me weak in an instant, and don't forget his charming and alluring personality. He could make anything possible with his one seductive look and smile.
He has that effect on me and last night was the proof of his power over me.
"Miss, please get ready quickly. Today is the appointment day." Miss Martha informs me and I feel uneasy from the thought of being with Andrew. But, I have to bear it after all this appointment is necessary for me to go.
I start to get ready while Miss Martha makes Cyrus ready. She is a good woman and a caring nanny. Although she is old, still she is efficient in her work.
The atmosphere is tense inside the car, Miss Martha sits in the passenger seat while I, Andrew, and the kids sit behind together. I intentionally keep Cyrus between me and Andrew because I don't want his touch on my skin at all.
His last night's touch sensation still gives me goosebumps as absentmindedly I bite my lips to get rid of that electrifying sensation.

"A transplant?" I look at the doctor with anxious eyes.
The procedure he has just briefly described to me includes needles and Cyrus fears the needles most. No one can force him for this thing. I know it's painful for Aaron for going through such things but for Cyrus, this is going to be a nightmare and how am I going to convince him at all?
"At first, we need to draw his blood and be sure that he is the perfect match for Aaron." The doctor again begins to explain while I cut him off in the middle, "Cyrus hates needles, he will never let anyone draw his blood easily." I warn him and he gives me a small assuring smile. "That's our job, Miss. Leave it to us."
I want to roll my eyes at his overconfident look but I didn't. Let him meet Cyrus first and then I'll see how quickly he changes his opinion of him.
I am afraid for Cyrus, I hope he won't make a huge ruckus while the doctor tries to draw the blood.
With each step to the room to Cyrus, my heart starts to drop by each level as I know the worst is going to happen and I have to be very much patient during the procedure.
