Undoing Love

Unknowns

Sitted in a skyhigh office, glass walls surrounding, with a view of the setting sun, a man spins his chair to face the pictures on his table. Scrubbing his hand down his face, he lets out a deep sigh and his shoulders slumps just like the guilt weighing heavily on him. He didn't know, wishing he could take it all back, he wishes he knew everything he knew now. He should have made enquiries, investigated, asked the right questions and not trusting the words of a two bit crack w***e called his mother blindly going after an innocent man all in the name of revenge.

You see it was all a game of vengeance in a bid to bring down the son of a father he never knew, a son he blamed for their father's absence in his life. The tales his mother told of a conniving and calculating woman who used her money and influence to make them suffer not knowing she was the author and architect of her own downfall bringing me with her. I added to my own sins by destroying his marriage and added to it by killing a budding relationship all because I wanted to see him suffer. In the end I lost out because I was also cheated on by Lilith after baring my all to her and thinking we had something together, shoulda known she was only in it for the ride, now because of my actions kids where denied their father's presence in their lives. How do I even start to make up for this debacle? He would kill me if he knew. I can't even show myself to them because am not even supposed to exist and now I made myself an enemy to my half-brother by destroying something good he had with a wonderful woman.

Well there's no help for it, I have to be prepared to own up to my sh** because waiting for him to find me just might mean death for me and I don't want to die, not yet especially not now that I finally know what love means. I would like to see my unborn child come into this world. So I have to man up and confront the situation headon because if I know the Reeds like I do, an investigation is ongoing and it would only take a smart person to pick up my trail, the only reason I haven't been found out before is because no one bothered to look.

Alfonzo

Alfonzo was meeting with his friend Nikolas who had some ties underground. He never asked too many questions but now he was also glad he had such a connection close at hand because he was able to round up the three doctors I used back then with Lilith in just under a week and they were in a warehouse situated close to the docks.

I stepped in and Niko handed me a file and thumbing through I realized that at the time of my testing each of these doctors had a substantial transfer of funds within that period which could only lead me to guess they were paid off but I would like to hear from them who paid them off and why? If Lilith was involved she couldn't have pulled it off by herself as it would have been flagged off and I would have been notified of such a huge transaction happening more than once on my account. So who in the devil would want to make an enemy of me? I could feel myself getting worked into a temper, so I took a deep breath and when I felt my self calming down I asked him. 'Have they talked? And he said yes. Man they have quite the story, apparently Lilith came back to each of them with a man who looked like you and made payments in exchange for them tampering with your results. Dr. Markus apparently knew Lilith for longer and even had a fling with her. Here's where it gets even worse, she terminated three pregnancies during the course of your six year marriage and he handled them all. She obviously couldn't be bothered to have a baby as she wouldn't remain in shape and she wanted to keep her modelling career at it's peak. I swore, if she were here right now, I could have strangled her to death and be done with it. D**n the consequences, how could she do that to me? Even after all she has done and when I think she can't hurt me anymore she still does something to make sure that I know she can. I f******g swear to God she would pay. She wants a career in modeling right? We would see how much career she has by the time I am done with her. As for that mystery man, I will turn the whole of this earth around till I find him, no where for him to hide. I also believe it is time I had a talk with my parents.

Nikolas and I walked out and we agreed we would send out fillers to get the identity of this man. The sooner I know who he is, the sooner I can present facts and also claim my family back. I would still be trying but it would be good to know all the players on board before playing this game because this time I am playing for keeps, can't let love continue to be my undoing. I have to fight for what is mine and fight hard because I can't afford to loose this time around. I have kids to claim and a woman who if I can convince her to do so, would marry me. This js my end goal.

Getting to my parents house, I called out a greeting checking who's home. My mom came out and she told me to wait for her. She came down and I greeted her bending to kiss her cheeks when she put her hands on my ears drawing me into the sitting room. ow, mum could you stop this? I am not a child, why are you dragging me by the ears? I should too, because this is the only way you would know I was serious? What on earth possessed you young man to abandon your children? my grandchildren? Where you sick? Where did I go wrong in raising you? For the past five years you have kept mute about having children and you sit there wondering why I had to treat you like a child? Well am all ears start explaining how it happened. Am sure your sister who's snickering behind you and am sure Vincenzo who's hiding somewhere around all want to hear how it happened. Father walked into the room stating he wasn't hiding as he was actually coming to us. Alfonzo snorted making it obvious they all thought same. No one wanted to be around when mama was raging just incase she started in you too. I narrated the whole messed up tale which only got my mama even more angry. And she started in on me again smacking me upside the head.' I told you I never liked that girl Lilith yet you insisted that she was your choice now look where that choice has brought us. My grandchildren have been growing outside the family because of you. Wait a minute, how many more children should we be expecting? You were gallivanting with different women after your relationship with Stacy. How many more should we be expecting she screamed at me? Mama there should be no other children, I was always careful. After Stacy I didn't want anyone accusing me again of impregnating them even though all I knew then was that I couldn't impregnate anyone. I never made that mistake again. I didn't know mama, I thought she was lying. You know all I went through in my marriage and when I finally came to terms with it all and she told me she was pregnant, I couldn't have believed her mama. We went to three different doctors and they all said same thing, it was only this afternoon that I found out that she paid those doctors to tamper with the results. Right now I am trying to find out the man involved because those doctors says there was a man who looked like me with Lilith who made the payments for those results to be tampered with. Now I am trying to find the man while am also trying to get a meeting with Stacy so we could discuss how to go about this. She has refused to see me personally when I went to her office, she only agreed to discuss business.

I am trying to gather evidence so I can also present them to Stacy so she could also understand why I behaved the way I did maybe then we could actually talk about it and then maybe get to know my children. It's still surreal to me that I am a father, when I still remember how I treated her, If I where her, I wouldn't want to hear me out either
