Chapter 33 - Catching up (2/2)

She sat up on the side of the bed. There saw a note on the bedside table.

”I'm taking our son a for quick ride, We'll be back before you wake up. Hopefully.

Alex XXX ”

”XXX? Hugs and Kisses?” April smiled. She didn't know that Alex had a silly and corny side.

She slowly got up, observing her lower parts. It was still sore, but now bearable. April put on her sleepers and went downstairs. She was hungry, too hungry. She needed to eat something soon.

When she got downstairs, a maid saw her. April was informed that the Master and the Young Master weren't in the Mansion, they had left a little bit after 12. April only nodded and ask the maid to make her some food and deliver it to the garden.

The servants on the mansion already knew that it was her favorite spot. Around this hour, April would always be there to hang out or read.

April went to the garden and sat down inside the gazebo. She loves smelling the flowers and being outside close to nature. The garden was carefully tended by a Gardener, hired by Alex of course.

It didn't took a while before 2 maids brought her food and drinks. They had asked her if she needed anything else, before leaving.

April happily chow down all the food in front of her, while waiting for her lover and son. She tried to organize her thoughts while eating.

She was now officially a Mistress. A third wheel on someone else's Marriage. April didn't know how long would this arrangement last, nor if Alex is serious about shouldering her from now on. She knew that Alex wouldn't dare abandon Sky, since Alex's blood runs inside her son.

What about her though? April knew that Alex had love Francesca since Highschool. Francesca was his First Love, he married her for this purpose. Alex wanted to build a family with Francesca, to have kids and to grow old.

April felt a slight sting of pain, inside her chest. She knew all of this before, but it still hurt. What if Francesca had a turn of heart and decided to reconcile with him, to fulfill their promises on the altar?

What would Alex do then? What will happen to her? Where would she be placed? She doubt that Francesca will not allow them to continue playing on her back. April would then be cast away. Only Sky will be able to stand next to Alex. She was sure that Alex would never let Francesca hurt his son.

April sighed, she didn't dare cry about it now. It was already to late for regret. Her heart was already on Alex's palm. He could easily crush it at will. Was it all worth it? she asked herself.

For only a brief of happiness, to her dark and horrible world. Yes, it was well worth it. She was already called a ”Crazy woman” anyways, might as well give them the reason to.

Only a crazy woman would f.u.c.k around a Married Man. The Mistress, The pest inside a Marriage.

April sighed again. The more she thinks about it, the more her face turned sour. She decided to ask the person, who knew Alex well. She might as well planned ahead, in case Alex actually drop her in the middle of the air.

She pulled her phone out and dialed the familiar number. UK was 5 hours ahead of the US. It was already close to 2 pm, It should be around 10 am there. After three rings, someone picked up.

”Hello stranger, I almost thought you have forgotten about me.” a man's voice sounded on the other line.

”Hello Colm, Of course not. I was just having some time off from your constant nagging.” April giggled.

”Ouch! And here I thought that you missed me!.” Colm sighed.

”I wouldn't call If I didn't, silly! Am I disturbing you though?” April leaned her back. He should be at work right now, she thought.

”Nope, just currently at a meeting. Everyone is eyeing me right now.” Colm honestly said. He was indeed at a meeting with his employees.

”Opps. sorry. I'll call you back later?” She asked. She knew that Colm was already starting to take over his father's place.

”No need, hold a sec dear.”

April could hear him say a bunch of words and orders to his subordinates, before leaving the conference room.

”Still there?” Colm asked, he was now on his office.

”Still here.” She lazily replied.

”So what do I owe this pleasure? For this beautiful miss to call me?” Colm sat down on his chair. He was currently smiling.

It had been a while since he had heard her voice. Colm had honestly missed April. He was constantly debating on calling her or visiting her, but he knew that he didn't have the reason to. He could only hope for her to remember old dear Colm. Who knew that, that day was today? That's why he was grinning from ear to ear.
