CHAPTER TWO
Some years later,she was working at her art studio when she
noticed some people entering. She looked up from what she's
doing and saw that it was Alex that entered.
She was dumbstruck, seeing the person she has been looking for
in the past years standing in her front. He still looked so charming
and handsome as always.
She invited him in, and offered him a seat. Alex went in and sat
down, looking at her face to see how she would react.
Mira didn't know when tears started falling from her face. She
looked so pathetic.
“I'm sorry I left that day without saying goodbye,” Alex said.
Mira was just looking at him shedding tears, “I just had to leave
that way to protect you from danger.”
Alex explained to her that he was working in a dark organization
and they aren't to have wives.
He explained to her that he loved her at first sight but he couldn't
confess to her because those organizations will come for her
once they notice they are getting close.
He explained the kind of work they do for them. While Alex was
talking,Mira was crying silently
She knew he would give her an excuse but she didn't know it was
a reasonable excuse.
As they were talking, Mira's son came inside the art studio. Mira
quickly went to him,she didn't want Alex to find out but he already
saw the boy.
Alex was sad because he thought she already had another
husband. Mira could see he looked disappointed.
“Your son looks cute,” he said smiling but the smile didn't reach
his heart.
“I would like to leave now so that it won't be a problem for you
when your husband comes back,” he said.
Mira was hurt with that word but she didn't show it.
As he was about to leave,she dropped the bomb. “He's your son,”
she said looking away.
Alex stopped in his steps and turned to look at Mira to know if
she's saying the truth.
“Are you saying you don't have any husband and that this boy is
mine?” He asked, looking at her surprised,tears welling up in his
eyes.
She turned to him and said “yes, he's your son.
How did it happen?” Alex asked her.
Mira explained how she found out she was pregnant weeks after
the one night they shared.
She explained to him everything she passed through during that
period,how she looked for him effortlessly.
Alex couldn't hold back his tears,he was crying so profusely
listening to Mira.
He carried the little boy in his arms and smiled amidst tears.
“Son,how have you been?” he said to the little boy.
The boy was looking at him like a stranger,not knowing what to
say because he has never seen that face before.
Mira was looking at the pair of son and father smiling,”they do
much look alike,” she said.
Alex dropped the boy and faced Mira,”I don't know how you feel
about me but I'm willing to take responsibility for this boy,” he told
her.
“I have to protect him with everything I have because I know
those people will come after him now that I have a son,” he said.
“I thought you already left their organization,why come after you
again?” Mira said.
“I know too much of their secret so they can't let me live,and now
that I have a son they might kidnap him and use him to threaten
me,” he answered.
“I hope nothing happens to any of us,” Mira said.
Alex knows she still cares about him but he doesn't want to be too
forward about it.
“Do you still love me?” Mira asked him.
“I still do,but I don't know about you,” he answered her.
“Even after finding out I didn't tell you about the pregnancy?” Mira
asked.
Alex nodded, smiling at her,he went closer to her and hugged her.
