Chapter 5 - Revelations (2/2)

Ted opened the envelope for Annie to also see. It had Alex's name and Sky's. They were deemed to be Father and Son with 99.99% accuracy. Ted sighed and hugged his shaking wife.

”May I see it Ted?” Malcolm asked Ted, he and his wife was also protective towards April. He let go of his son, seeing that he wasn't unreasonable anymore and took the envelope from Ted's hand.

He saw the logo of a Famous European Hospital. No doubt it was legit. They were famous for being truthful and humble hospital. Ted sighed again, seeing Malcolm's silent reaction. He already understood the validity.

Colm grabbed the Envelope from his father's hand and read it. His hands can't help but crumpled the edges of it. He couldn't believe it still. No matter what, he refused to believe it. How? How did it happened?

Colm threw the paper on the floor and grabbed Alex's collar.

”Tell me! If you still value our friendship! Why did you do this to her?! You knew well who she was to me! And yet you i.m.p.r.e.g.n.a.t.ed my fiancee! Alex!! Tell me!! Make me understand!!” Colm's eyes was so red, his fist tightened on Alex's collar.

”It was mistake. I never planned it to happen! Almost 4 years ago, Remember that I was drunk and drugged by Cefei on my bachelor's party? He said it was my gift before getting married to Francesca. I don't know the full details since Cefei has been hiding from me ever since I found out about Sky. All I remember was, I had a one night stand with someone and when I woke up; I was alone. Believe me Colm! I didn't meant for it to happen! I didn't even though that it was April! I would never do it with anyone! You know how I was so in love with Francesca! Even back then until now!” Alex explained himself fast. He meant all what he had said. He really didn't know.

When he woke up that day, he had an awful headache. He remembered bits of pieces of what happened, but he wasn't able to remember her face. He could still feel how his hands wrapped perfectly around her body, The taste of her sweet little lips and how amazing it felt to be one with her. That morning, he almost thought that it was Francesca. Unfortunately, she told him that she had her own bachelorette in Italy and Alex was in the US that day.

Colm did remember it. They even joked Alex about it. Who would've thought that it was April on Alex's bed that night. Colm pushed Alex away and left the room. He needed to calm down and think this through. He was afraid that he would beat his friend to death if he stayed any longer.

Seeing Colm left, Alex sighed. Colm was the most trusted friend he had. Even with a 6 year gap, they always felt like they were brothers. It was hard for him to admit it, especially in front of everyone. Yet he needed to, for the sake of his son.

Hearing Alex's explanation, The Lewis didn't said anything and left. The Smiths didnt tried to persuade them to stay. They knew it was a big blow to them. Anything that involves April was their weakness.

Malcolm could only sighed and looked at Alex. He needed to question him further. It was all left to him to see what Alex planned for Sky.
