Against All Odds ( teacher/student )

“How the hell will you explain this?” he asked completely drunk while looking towards my three-year-old daughter.

“She’s mine and mine only, you better understand this Mr. Williams” I whisper yelled at him in order not to scare the life out of my daughter who was already on the verge of crying.

“Shut the f**k up, Amelia. You can’t deny the fact that she’s ours. OURS” he yelled.

I so wanted to laugh at his face as he said that. I don’t even want to remember the day when he broke me into pieces by deciding that he was going to give a chance to his wife. I felt used, but somewhere I knew that we were not meant to be. So I did the best thing that one could do, I left my school, my town, my love. I left him so that he can be happy. And now he’s here, claiming my child as his.

“We’ll talk about this in the morning Mr. Williams, now you’re not in your right mind. Please leave or else I’ll have to call the cops” I threatened him.

“Okay Miss Sanders, I’m going for now but always remember, I will not leave my daughter, EVER.” He held my chin with his pointer finger and said, “ If you my love, want to live with your lover boy then I don’t have any issues but I’ll not let my daughter live in such an environment where she’ll have to regularly witness her mother getting f**ked by other men”. Tears welled up in my eyes as he said that. How can he say that? How did he even think that I’ll do such a thing? Does he thinks so low of me? Of course he does.

“LEAVE. NOW” I yelled.
