A surprise visit

Chapter 8

My mother was unable to speak, she just stood in place. "Can't you answer me, Collette? You got pregnant and never told me about it. How could you be so cruel?" All my life I had thought I was abandoned by my father because he doesn't love me, but right now, I am so confused. Is he saying he doesn't even know I existed? I looked at my mom for her to say something, but there she was in tears. Was what he was saying the truth?

"That's enough of your pity tears. I can't forgive you for this. You will be meeting my lawyer," my mother grew frantic. "But that was not what you promised me. You can't take my boy from me," he only laughed half-heartedly. "You must be kidding, Collette. That I'll give my son to you. After all these years, I found out I have a son somewhere. You'll be seeing my lawyer and I'll take full custody of him until he turns 18." My mother didn't say a word, and she didn't look at me.

"Jess, please escort him to the room you have prepared. I need to have a word with her alone," the person named Jess approached me and said, "Young mister, this way please." That was when my mom called out to me, "Cole, I'll come to you soon and explain, okay?" I didn't know what to say, so I just nodded and followed Jess.

Once in my room, I sat down on the bed. The man did indeed look like me, like an older version. I really miss Annette and I wish to see her again. What will she say when I tell her that I have a father? I know she will be happy for me. I took her photo and stared at it, planning to tell her that I like her when I see her again.

I got tired of waiting for my mom, so I fell asleep. "Cole, please wake up," it was my mom. I woke up and saw that her eyes were swollen from crying. I wondered what had happened with him. "Is he really my dad? And did he know you had me?" I needed to know. "Yes, Cole, it's true. He was my boss and one thing led to another. I got pregnant for him. Forgive me, Cole," my mom explained.

My mom has been a great parent to me and I love her, so I won't judge her even though I am hurt.

She came close to me and held my face. "I haven't given you the best life, and now I want to make it right. I know it's too late, but please forgive me. It will be better for you to live with your father for now, so you can become a successful man in the future." I wanted to argue with her, but she continued, "I know you want to go back, but think about it. You will be a wealthy man who can take care of Annette," she said with a smile. Hearing Annette's name filled me with excitement. "I know you like her, so just imagine the future when you are worthy of her. You will be able to take good care of her, don't you think?"

I understood what my mom was saying and how she was trying to convince me to stay, but I couldn't imagine living without Annette. "So you know I have a crush on her?" I asked. She laughed, "Who doesn't know? You are really growing, Cole. So please listen to mommy just this one time." It took her quite a while to convince me, but now I have a clear goal in mind. I will become a man worthy of Annette, someone who will take care of her. Annette, you just wait. I'll make your dreams come true, I promise.

From that day forward, my main focus was Annette. I worked hard in my studies to make my father proud and be the best son possible. However, everything changed when I met Kenzie.

"Cole, I know you're in college now, but come over this weekend. A friend and business partner of mine will be here," my father said. "I understand, dad. I'll be there."

On that fateful day, I went home. My father welcomed me with open arms. That evening, I dressed in a tuxedo and went downstairs for dinner. Our guests arrived, and I was introduced to Mr. Macaulay and his daughter Kenzie, who was around the same age as me.

During dinner, the men talked about business, but I couldn't help but notice Kenzie staring at me. I brushed it off, as it wasn't the first time a woman had shown interest in me. The only woman I had ever loved, and will ever love, is Annette, and I couldn't wait to see her.

The meal ended that day and I went back to school. Everything went well for a few months until we had a holiday. I went home and my father took me to an elite party where I met Kenzie again. She approached me and offered small talk, which I politely exchanged. I saw her a few more times and she always initiated the conversation.

Rumors began to spread that we were dating. I confronted her at an event we were both attending. "I'm sorry Kenzie, but I've been hearing you're telling people that we are a couple. Is it true?" I asked. "Um, Cole, I really like you," she replied. I had always known she was a spoiled brat, but to do this was too much.

"You need to stop spreading that rumor. I don't like you, and I don't think I ever will," I firmly stated. She started crying, drawing the attention of the people around us. I had to leave to make it clear that I was not interested in her.

The next day my dad sat me down to talk. I explained what had happened, and he cautioned me, saying, "Yes, I know what she did was wrong, but her father has been a good business partner of mine. I don't want you to ruin my relationship with him." I nodded in understanding.

After graduating from university, I had a plan in mind: work for two years and then go visit Annette. I missed her terribly. Whenever I thought of her, I would look at her photo. I had hoped that my feelings for her would fade with time, but that wasn't the case. Each day without her was agonizing. My mom would occasionally call Annette's mom, who reassured me that Annette was doing well. I couldn't wait for the day I would see her again and surprise her. I just hoped she wouldn't forget about me and move on with someone else.

During an event at the Macaulay's, everything seemed to be going smoothly. My dad was talking with business associates, and I was chatting with friends. I had just one glass of wine, but soon felt dizzy and my head began to ache. It was strange because normally a small amount of wine wouldn't affect me like this. I needed to find the restroom to figure out what was happening to me.

I was going to the restroom when I felt like I was going to fall, but then someone came to help me. It was Kenzie. "I'll help you, Cole. Just follow me," she said. She took me to a room where I went to the bathroom and felt like my head was going to explode. When I went to the bedroom, I saw that she had changed into lingerie and had an evil smile on her face. She said, "You really have resistance to it, but don't worry, you'll pass out soon." My head hurt, and before I could finish asking her what she meant, I passed out.

When I woke up next, it was dark outside and I felt a pang in my head. I could feel a body pressed against mine and I immediately remembered what had happened. I had passed out, but I could still hear and feel everything that was happening to me. She undressed me and raped me.

I had been saving myself for Annette, and now Kenzie had taken my virginity. She was lying there, and adrenaline rushed through me as I found myself choking her in her sleep. She pleaded with me, but I didn't listen. I was going to kill her. Her cries were heard, and the door opened as the maid rushed in and screamed, "You're going to kill her, please stop!" Her father came in and saw me naked with his daughter while the maid tried to pull me away from Kenzie.

" Cole stop it" I did, I took the covers with me as I got out of the bed, Kenzie was naked and gasping for air, the maid rushed to Kenzie and Mr Macaulay had a knowing look.

I went home that day and told my father, he was furious, he was told by one of the maid that they saw me leave so he didn't think much about it since I do it sometimes, my father was ready to file for a lawsuit against Kenzie, we were already preparing to charge for rape, when we were told the most shocking thing after a month of filing the charge of rape, Kenzie was pregnant.
