Sunday morning...
Nathan is restless today. He is so excited to meet his dad and go to his party that every next second he comes to me to ask when are we leaving. So dad took him out for playing in the park and treating him with his favrioute icecream.
He calls him every day on Skype and they keep talking until Nathan is asleep.
I feel guilty for all this. When Nathan will find out the truth he will hate me for all this. I can't see my son break because of me but I need to stop all this, the situation is going out from my grip. My family is in danger and all because of him.
If he had not come again . Everything would have been normal and happy.
I drift off my thoughts and get busy with work which was loaded infront of me.
My office phone rings up. It's the call from reception.
"I'm someone wants to meet you".
"Who?" I ask.
"Mr. Conard" I freeze.
"Send him in" I hang up.
What he needs now??
After 2 min I hear a knock at the door. Without looking up I answer.
"Come in".
I lift my head up to see him. He looks freshly shaved and his buisness suits makes him look more important and sexy. Girls can get to knees for him, but not me. His colenge still effects me. The feelings started coming up.
"Like what you see Amelia" he smirks.
Arrogant.
Jerk.
Prick.
"Seen better" I fake a smile.
He frowns .
"Is it??" He asks.
"I don't have time today, I can hardly give you 5 mins so state your buisness" I gesture him to sit.
"Are you coming tonight??" He asked in a calm and composed voice.
"Yes" I got busy with a file.
"Are you bringing a date??" He asked.
"No" I answered .
"Will you be my date ??" He asks and I look up.
Anger filled my eyes with tears. The pain was coming out which I pressed inside for 6 years. It was about to burst open.
"Leave" I said in a calm and controlling tone.
"Amelia are you ok??" He seemed confused.
"Leave my office" I said him again.
"Amelia are- " I cut him off with my outburst.
"I said LEAVE MY OFFICE NOW. I won't be able to control longer than this. " He was shocked. I never spoke to him with so much venom in my voice.
He left my office and I cried my heart out. I couldn't stop crying for hours. I directly went home. Dad was already home with Nathan.
He asked me that I was alright and I said I said him there is nothing to worry about.
I went straight to my room and took a cold shower. I took a look at the clock which shows 4:45. I need to get ready by 6.
I start applying makeup and doing my hair. I see dad has already brought my dress which he ordered the other day for me. He didn't even allow me to see it. He only said it was Blue in colour.
I open the cover to look at the dress. It was breath taking. I couldn't stop staring at the gown it was too beautiful .
(Picture given above)
I put it on and then look at myself. I really couldn't believe the girl on the other side was me. I put my stelletos on and walk out of the room. I walk down the stairs and see Nathan and dad waiting for me.
I see Nathan wearing a cute tux. He looks handsome. He gonna be a little heartbreaker when he grows up.
He looks at me and runs to me.
"You look handsome Nathan".
"You look breath taking princess" dad says me.
"You look great dad" I say him.
"Mom looks beautiful right dad ?? He tells to someone standing behind me.
I freeze.
I turn to face him. He look straight into my eyes and making me more concious.
"Yes, Nathan your mom looks breath taking beautiful" he keeps staring at me.
"Why are you here??" I ask him.
"To pick you guys up. You are my special guests for tonight" he tells us.
"I'm going in my car Amelia and Nathan can go with you " dad says and walks out of the door.
I knew he wouldn't leave Nathan alone and I don't want that too..
"Let's go daddy" Nathan runs to him and he picks him up.
"Let's go shall we" he gestures me and we walk out of the door. And he shuts the door behind us.
He helps Nathan climbing in the backseat and then opens the door for me.
Such show-off.
He sits in the driving seat and starts the car. We moved in silence before he decides to break it.
"Amelia how do I look??" He asks me.
"It's not my question to answer" I say him.
"You opinion matters you are my-" he stops.
"What Zander finish off your sentence??" I tell him.
"Amelia I can't forget you please come back and be with me" he tells me.
"You were the one ruining everything Zander, you are engaged or married I don't even know and I don't want to know. Please move on Zander I can't be with you. We are over" I say him.
He tries to say something but stops himself. I look at the mirror to check up on Nathan who is busy watching outside.
We reach the venue in silence.
After a while I see a beautiful palace standing infront of me. It was a breathtaking beauty. It was one of the most luxurious hotels which was also attraction of many people including was. He wanted to buy it but the owners did not agree his offer. He didn't mind much but it was worth fighting.
"Did you like it??" I heard him asking me.
"Like is an understatement I love it. It beautiful" I say him.
"I own this place I'm glad you love it" he says me and I share him dumdfolded.
"The owner was stubborn to let it go" I say him.
"Because it's not for sale. It was one of the first buy of our family when my dad took over " he said me and I listened to him.
"Dad can we go out??" Nathan asked.
"Sure Nat" he said and opened doors for us. We walked out of the car and went towards the door.
I walk inside the ball, and see many people almost it was crowded with elite group of society. I saw some of our buisness associates, they came over us when we made a entry.
I see people watching like a hawk. They were surprised to see me in my ex-husband's party. They did not expect me after so long. When their eyes shifted Nathan who held my hand, they stared him like something valuable thing. It was making me uncomfortable and Nathan too..
After a while we warmed up with the crowd. I saw a man walking inside the ball. He had brunette hairs, 6 feet tall and looked very important. He looked kind of familiar. Zander have him a tight buisness smile and then he started to walk towards our direction.
"Are you all right??" He asked me.
"Yes " I say him.
"Dad why are people looking me and mommy?"Nathan asked because he was getting consious.
He knelt down to match Nathan's height "Because mommy and Nathan are looking beautiful and handsome. " he answered him with a smile.
He gets up to face me..
"I'm going to announce something please stay here" he says me.
"Ok" I nod.
He vanishes in the crowd.
Then suddenly he gets up in the stage getting people attention. Till now I didn't notice how handsome he looked. His black tux was making him look like Greek God, his clean shaved face and kissable lips were gaining people attention and girls or even married women were drooling over him.
"May I have you attention ladies and gentlemen today we have gathered to celebrate a special day for me. It's my birthday and also it's the day I got my wife and son back after 6 years" he says and looks at me.
Dad looked like he has seen a ghost, I looked flushed and Nathan only seemed happy. I felt all attention of the people towards me.
I see Zander continue his speech which I dared not listen I was extremely pissed at him.
He managed to piss me off twice today.
After a while music started buzzing the atmosphere and people started to dance. I see that coming towards me. I was feeling that I must have seen him somewhere.
"Hello beautiful " he smiled at me.
"Hii" I manage to speak.
"You are- " he stops.
"Amelia Rose" I say him.
"I'm Skyler Stone" he says me. The name felt familiar but I have never seen him around.
"Aren't you supposed to be ex-wife ??" He asked.
Wow... Straight to the point.
"Actually I am" I say him.
"Is he your son?" He points at Nathan who was dancing with dad.
"Yes. He is Nathan" I say him.
"He doesn't look like any of you " he was irritating me. I was making me angry.
"That's none of your buisness" I say him with a cold voice.
"Because he looks like me" I froze at his words. I saw him closely Nathan looked so much like him. That's why he felt familiar.
"Thattt mea-.. how is this... possible?" I was shocked and felt like I'll like my guys out.
"He is my son and he was taken away by his mother when he was only 3 months. I came to know about him a year ago when I saw him walking out with you out of the store. I thought he was dead. " he explained him.
"How could you do this to your flesh and blood? " I asked him.
"Because-" he was cut-off by Zander.
"Mr. Stone what are you doing here??" He asked him. I could feel his anger.
"Just talking to you wife about your son. He is handsome, must have got from his father." His words made me sick and Zander looked disturbed too.
"Yes.. ofcourse.." his answer came out after a while.
"Well it was nice to meet you Mr. Conard and Ms. Rose I had a wonderful evening with you hope we meet soon " he takes my hand and kisses in the knuckles and placed something before he leaves.
Zander and I watch him to leave the ball. I look at the thing he had given.
His card.
I keep it in my clutch I need answers. Zander eyes lands on me and he comes to me.
"Can I take you to dance??" He asks me.
"No "I answer him bluntly.
"Please once please" he pleads.
I see Nathan looking at me. I wasn't feeling to go but I had to do for Nathan.
"Ok" I say him.
He escorted to the middle of the dance and we start dancing.
"What was he talking about??" I knew what he was talking about.
But I can't let him know he will freak out and not let me near him.
"Nothing concerns to you" I say him.
"Everything about you concerns me Amelia" he says me.
I want to trust him again but I can't because he broke so deep that it is shattered.
I remain quiet.
"I am no one to you neither is Nathan please stay away from my life" I say him.
"I know I broke you but I will retrieve it. I will not make those mistakes which I made years ago. I prove my worth to you. Amelia please give me a chance" he says.
I pull off from his grip and stand bit away and turn around to speak..
"You are 6 years late Zander".
I see dad carrying sleepy Nathan in the car. I run towards his car and we leave the place.
Leaving him behind .
