my friend's husband

CHAPTER 28

" What is the hurry for?" Anya said clearly amused.

he was her son through and through from inheriting her whole face and his personality.

"Don't think i have forgiven you just because you decided to bail me , and how on earth do you know about all this ,arent you supposed to be in Russia with your boy toy?"

Anya smiled. She was not going to let him doubt him.

" Ooh, it was all over the news. Now why would i let my little Mikael sleep in such a place when the dogs in his family sleep in the most expensive beds?"

Mikael stood there awkwardly not knowing what to do. He wanted to thank her but he did not know how to. atleast it was easy with his dad and brothers.anya on seeing his dilemma, pulled him into a hug. The little boy in him burst into tears. This was the first time in 16 years that his mother showed any affection. She smelt exactly as she did when he was a kid. Little Mikael loved cooking with his mum so after school he would always go in the kitchen where she would pick and twirl him in the air .they would bake together,more like his mum would bake while he spoke non-stop about his day.those days he noticed his mum had bruises and black eyes almost daily

" Mommy, why are your eyes black and what happened to your arm?' little Mikael asked .his mum had just hugged him and never replied. this continued over the years until Mikael just thought that was how she was. he never questioned it again even as an adult.

he did not want to end the hug. tears streamed from his eyes.he had missed his mum. He could not believe e was crying after years.

Anya just let him cry. if she had the power back then she could have done things differently. the thought that she had let her kids grow motherless hurt her soul. after her childhood, she had vowed that she would fight to live so she could be present in their lives. But if she had stayed .he would have killed her.

After what felt like forever, she led him outside to a waiting car. the drive back home was silent as everyone was lost in their thoughts. Anya couldn't wait to break the news of that man having an affair with maria. mikael on the other hand was trying to solve the mystery around the IUD. He texted his little brother." i need you to search for all musolins around New York, find the ones in the medical industry i need to have a word with them" he pressed send as he turned to stare outside.

the nights here were rather peaceful, something he came to appreciate now.as the cars passed by he couldn't help but think of how his life would have turned around . Maybe he would be married with kids now. his mum loved kids so he knew she could have asked for one.

within an hour they were back home. Connie was waiting in the front door. she ran to Mikael the moment he stepped out of the car ." Oh my im glad you are out ,my dad they would call the police commander" she rambled as she latched on him like a koala.

Anya stared at her, the pictures were damn right. she looked just like that b***h, Maria and she acted just like her, her hate foe her intensified .

" ooh your daddy doesn't have power for that ,ooh and another thing this is someone's husband you don't go around throwing yourself on other people's partners."

"Guess the apple doesn't fall far away from the tree." she concluded as she entered the house.

Connie was stunned. who was that woman and why was she mad at her.

Mikael was surprised by his mother's outburst but he couldn't help but wonder why she was so mad at her given this was the first time they were meeting.

"that is my mother , don't mind her . she just had a long flight to come here", he offered once he realized Connie was on the verge of tears.

" i said nothing wrong though, my dad said they would secure your release they are coming",

"Alright, i need to take a shower ,you can wait for them i have work to do". mikael dismissed her.

Connie could not help but feel left out. why was everyone in this house so mean to her she wondered as she turned to her room.

Kaylee, on the other hand lay on the bed watching Julian sleep soundly. she grabbed his phone and right there was a message from the strange number. she gathered courage and texted her back." just give me one month i will get her for you" the reply came instantly.

" Never mind i got it covered." Kaylee knew this was a bad sign she was of no use to them anymore. they were going to kill her once they found her.

she couldn't help but shiver on those thoughts. she touched her belly and hot tears cascaded down her cheeks.

"We are doomed young one", she said as she patted her belly.all her life she had to fight and live for others. she was going to be selfish and save herself this time and move to far way country. but as these thoughts continued haunting her another text came in. she was shaking as she opened it.." Don't let this hoe take your husband, i know what you did but fight for your marriage"'once you give birth you can drop the kid for me to raise, but i need you to fight for what is rightfully yours". she stared at the text in shock.

Questions of who was behind them, what they wanted in return and why they hated Connie that much swirled in her mind . but this was her ticket from this miserable life and she was going to embrace it.
