Unrequited Love (completed)

Chapter four

This chapter, is dedicated to Ayshasiraj17. Thanks baby girl, you never fail to comment on all my chapters.

As promised, I'm updating today. Next chapter will be on Monday.

It's been three days now, no sign of JK. She felt relieved that he left her alone, finally he understood that it wasn't appropriate to keep hanging around her. “At least, I'll be able to hide my son away, and he'll have his wedding with the love of his life.” She thought bitterly.

Just like every normal work day, she greeted everyone on her way up to the fourth floor, where her office was. Dropping her hand bag on the table, she went to her boss’s office to see if he had any work for her. “Good morning sir.”

“You're late, just who I was waiting for,” he responded, when he raised his eyes from the paper work in his hand, to see who came in. “Please, do sit.”

“We've got a funeral to plan.” He said, handing over a piece of paper to her. She studied it, and she felt sad seeing how young the deceased was. “Just twenty years,” she thought. She's never planned for a funeral, so she sat there, wondering why her boss gave this to her, instead of someone more experienced.

“The burial is in a week time, and I want you to be in charge.” James said, giving all his attention to her now, “Can you? Or will your son be a problem?”

“Asshole,” she muttered under her breath, not liking the way he underestimated her, or the way he brings up her child in every conversation.

“What the f**k, did you say?” He asked, glaring hard at her. She squirmed in her seat, at how intimidating his look was. “Nothing,” she lied.

“Luciana..... You're fired.” “what the f**k?” she thought, wondering if her ears were deceiving her. He couldn't just fire her when she's done nothing wrong.

“No, you can't just fire me!” she screamed at the top of her voice.

“Well, I just did.” He said, with mockery evident in his voice. She knew James disliked her, just because she wouldn't bend over his desk, her ass hung up in the air and p***y on display for him to f**k her. But she never knew he'll hate her this much to fire her, when he knows she has a child to take care of.

“Why are you doing this? She asked, her eyes watering up. “You know how much I need this job, James. My son is not a problem, has never been so if that's wh–”

“This is for your betterment,” he interjected, cutting her off. “JK industries, has a better offer and he wants you to work with him. You're our very best, but we can't tie you down, when we know you can get better.” He said, trying to make her see reason with him, but only succeeded in making her angrier.

“How dare you? It's not wonder you fire me nothing, this has already been planned.” She glared at him with bloodshot eyes. Her large eyes looked red and larger, as they get when ever she's pissed. She could swear, she saw him shudder under her gaze. “Does my uncle know about this?”

James just nodded his head in acceptance, not saying a word. She scoffed, not believing George is this cheap. “It took just a few Euro notes to sell me out huh?”

She walked out of the office, not saying a word more to James. She started to clear her desk, when her phone rang. Checking the caller's ID, saw it was Uncle George and he is the last person she wants to talk to right now.

      He was a wonderful person, nice and very understanding. But now, she couldn't say the same for him, she thought....

*******

“MG, where are you now?” She asked into the phone, that was placed on her left ear with her shoulder as support, as she folded the last of Michael's clothes into a shuttle bag.

“We're on our way home, I just picked Mikky up from school.” Luciana breathed a sigh of relief, knowing her son was okay. She couldn't help but worry, since she left her work place, that JK will inquire about her and her bosses will spill every ounce of information she's worked so hard to hide.

      She called Maria Goretti, immediately she got home and asked her to pick Michael up from school earlier than usual, and they were also moving in with her for week, before she knows the next step to take. She was pulling the last of the bags outside, when she was interrupted,

"Going somewhere?" She froze, as she heard his voice from behind. How on earth did he find her? Couldn't he just give her some space for once.

"Jack." She turned to face him, keeping a stoic expression, not wanting him to know how nervous she felt standing there with him right now. "What are you doing here, and how in God's name did you find my address?"

He stared at her, taking his eyes to the luggages neatly arranged by her side hoping she wasn't leaving him again, just when he found her again. "Lucia, the name is JK and are you going somewhere?"

"That's none of your business." She answered praying that Maria goretti doesn't bring Michael here or it'll make issues more complicated than they already were.

Since he still wasn't saying anything and just wasting her time, she went to leave but he grabbed her arm stopping her. "Lucia, please I just want to talk."

"About what actually? Look here, I'm done with you and have been for a very long time now so-"

She didn't get to finish her words, when she heard a tiny voice behind her, and she knew she was fucked.......

“Mummy?” She turned to look at the innocent one who is tugging at her dress, not knowing the gravity of the situation at hand. Bending down a little, she picked him up and placed him on her hip.

       JK's eyes were on the boy the whole time, just as she knew it will. She was quiet the whole time, as Kenneth took his time to study Michael, while Michael also looked at him.

“Luciana.....” all eyes turned to a confused MG. “What's going on?” she mouthed to her. Lucia just nodded her head and MG eyes widened as she finally spotted the resemblance between father and son. “I guess you're staying?”

“Yeah, it has happened, we just have to get done with it. See you tomorrow.” After hugs and good nights, Maria left, leaving just the three of them.

“Let's go inside, please help me with the bags.” She walked ahead, with Michael in her arms, leaving him to carry the bags in.

        She sat on the couch with a sleeping Michael in her arms, as he dragged in the last of the bags. “The boy is mine,”

She watched his every move, as he sat on the sofa opposite of where she sat. She knew this wasn't her fault, if only he had stuck around long enough, to know that she was pregnant. But she couldn't help but tremble at how mad he looks and the way his jaw kept twitching.

“He has a name you know?” she managed to squeak out, he gave her the stink eye and she sunk deeper into her seat, trying to avoid his dangerous gaze.

“Are you stupid or something?” he hissed out, “Does the name matter right now? What matters is that you hid my son from me, you selfish b***h!!” “I can't believe, I thought you were different,” he muttered under his breath.

“Don't you dare put the blame on me,” she whisper-yelled back at him not wanting to disturb her son's sleep, her voice shaking due to the pressure she exerted on her throat, as she tried to choke back tears, and still talk at a time. “You were gone, no single trace of you. How was I supposed to tell you? Huh?”

“Don't give me that bullcrap! What about last week? You could have told me, but no.” He ran a hand through his curly hair, a frown forming on his handsome face. He suddenly looked so tired, and she felt bad because she was the cause of his worry. “What do we do now?”

“What do you mean by, ‘what do we do’?” She got all defensive, as she hugged her baby tightly to her chest. Her fears began to awaken, “what if he takes my baby away?” She thought.

“We have to legitimize his birth, and you both will take my name.” She breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he would not be fighting for custody. But seconds later, his words finally hit home.

“What?” She asked, shock registered on her beautiful face. “he can't be serious, can he?”

“Yes you heard me right, we're getting married.”.........
