Single Mom's Revenge

Chapter 4 - Possessive Man

—Scott Family Villa—

"Christiano Scott, don't think your dinner invitation will make me agree to give Erick to you."

Christiano didn't listen to Alexa's words. He was busy feeding Erick.

"He just met Erick but is already close to my son," Alexa mumbled with irritation.

"Mom, tonight we sleep at Dad's house, right?" Erick asked.

"No way," said Alexa.

Erick immediately cried after hearing that Alexa wouldn't let him stay at Christiano's house. But it was just an act to get Alexa to agree.

"Okay, Mom agrees. But don't cry anymore," persuaded Alexa, stroking her son's hair.

"Aunt An, please prepare a room!" shouted Christiano.

A middle-aged woman came out of the kitchen. "Yes, sir." Aunt An greeted Alexa and Erick with a friendly smile. "Please come with me, Miss."

Alexa carried Erick up the stairs.

Christiano suddenly remembered something.

"The first time a woman lives in my villa. I have to prepare something special," muttered Christiano. After that, he contacted someone. "Secretary Luna, a woman will be staying at my house. Please buy her the necessary things."

"What kind of stuff, Director Scott?"

"Things women like, such as bags, jewelry, luxury clothes. And don't forget to buy nightwear," answered Christiano.

"I understand. Don't worry. I'll be there in ten minutes."

"Give it to Aunt An and tell her to put it in my room."

Pip!

Christiano put his cell phone back in his trouser pocket. "Hearing her tone, why is Secretary Luna so enthusiastic?" wondered Christiano.

In the room, Alexa is preparing warm water for Erick. Her son wanted to swim when he saw the giant bathtub in the bathroom.

Christiano enters the room. "Erick wants to take a shower with Dad?"

Erick nodded enthusiastically. Christiano helped take off Erick's clothes.

Seeing the small interaction between Christiano and Erick touched Alexa's heart. "It's been a long time since I saw Erick smile happily like that," she muttered.

In the next second, Alexa was shocked by the unexpected sight of Christiano. The man suddenly opened his shirt, revealing a six-pack stomach with bulging muscles.

"Christiano Scott, what are you doing?" shouted Alexa. She immediately turned her face away.

"I want to take a shower with my child. What else?"

Christiano carried Erick into the bathtub. The two of them played in the water until it hit Alexa.

"Doesn't Mom want to take a shower with us?" Erick ask.

"Erick, don't be naughty. Look, Mom's clothes are soaked."

"Wow, your body is nice tho." Christiano gave a compliment when he accidentally saw the curves of Alexa's body.

"Don't see!" shouted Alexa while covering her chest with both hands.

"In my room, there is a nightgown that I just bought for you. Change your wet clothes," ordered Christiano.

Alexa left the bathroom and walked towards Christiano's room. "Where is the room?"

Coincidentally, Alexa ran into Aunt An. She had just come out of one of the rooms. Alexa also approached Aunt An to ask.

"Sorry, where is Mr Christiano's room?"

"I just came from Mr.'s room. This way, Miss." Aunt An led Alexa into Christiano's room.

"Mr Christiano said there was a pajama he had bought for me," said Alexa.

"Oh, it looks like it's in this bag." Aunt An took a shopping bag she had just placed on Christiano's bed. Then Aunt An gave it to Alexa.

"Thank You."

"Miss can change clothes in Master's room," said Aunt An.

Alexa nodded, then went into the bathroom to change clothes. Alexa took out the clothes that were in the bag.

"What the heck? What kind of nightwear did you buy for me, Christiano Scott? You a perverted man!" shouted Alexa, annoyed.

There was a miscommunication between Christiano and Secretary Luna. The nightwear that Christiano means is pajamas, while what's on Secretary Luna's mind is lingerie.

The next morning...

—Starry Pearl Company—

"What about Mrs. Dawson's design?" asked Veronica, Alexa's co-worker.

"She wants jewelry full of diamonds. How strange!"

Veronica nudged Alexa's arm. "Look. Isn't he Director Scott?" Veronica pointed towards the main door of the company. Christiano Scott just got out of his car.

Why is that guy everywhere? Can't he make my life calm for just one day?

"I heard from office people that Director Scott came to the company yesterday looking for you. Maybe he's chasing you," Veronica guessed. "You are fortunate, Alexa. You can make Director Scott, who has never been interested in women, fall in love with you." Veronica continues to tease Alexa.

"No, Veronica. Not what you think. There's no way a rich businessman like Director Scott would want to date me. Don't talk nonsense anymore. I'm going back to my room first. Bye."

When Alexa turned around, she accidentally bumped into someone because she was too hasty.

Alexa looked down, embarrassed. "Sorry, sir. I—"

"Alexa."

Alexa looked up. "Leo?"

Leonardo Dawson, her ex-husband, smiled. "It turns out right, you."

"Get out of the way!" Alexa snapped. She blew away Leo's hand, which was holding her hand.

"Alexa, I want to talk to you alone for a moment. I want to apologize to you because—"

Christiano suddenly came and fended off Leo's hand, which wanted to touch Alexa's shoulder. "Get away from him," he said.

"Director Scott?" Leo was entirely surprised by Christiano's presence. "You know Alexandra Osmond?"

"That's none of your business," answered Christiano sarcastically.

I can't be capable if I have to face Christiano Scott.

Leo didn't dare to find trouble with the wealthiest businessman in his country.

"If you two are busy, then I won't bother you. I'll take my leave first." Leo turned around and walked out of the company.

Alexa is still curious about Leo's purpose in coming to see her. She kept watching Leo subconsciously.

He wants to apologize to me? What does he want exactly?

"Why are you still quiet? Come with me," said Christiano.

"That's great, Alexa! I love your courage!" shouted Veronica as Christiano dragged Alexa into the elevator.

"What do you want? It's still early. Please don't make a fuss like yesterday!" Alexa begged.

"I tell you. Being Erick's mother means you have to guard your private life. You can't be close to other men than me," stressed Christiano.

"My life has nothing to do with you. If it weren't for Erick, I wouldn't pay attention to you at all!" Alexa shouted at Christiano.

"If you dare to flirt with other men, I won't hesitate to snatch Erick from your hands!" Christiano threatened, but Alexa didn't care.

Alexa exited the elevator and descended the stairs to get to her room. Alexa's steps stopped for a moment when she passed Veronica.

"Tell me, what relationship do you have with Director Scott and Director Dawson?" asked Veronica, raising and lowering her eyebrows.

"Director Scott is Erick's father, and Director Dawson is my ex-husband," answered Alexa.

"What? The richest businessman in our country is your son's father and the richest businessman in this city is your ex-husband?" Veronica glared in surprise. "Who am I? Where am I?"
