Mr Billionaires Secret Baby

Chapter 52

The later afternoon sky was some thing to behold. With colours of deep crimson, remnants of the darkest blue hues, and whisps of orange, it was like a work of art. I observed said art from the window in the kitchen as I sipped on a glass of water.

It was yet another evening that I was left to myself but I had grown accustomed to it. Not that I was happy with it at all but I was not surprised by the quiet house and eating alone. Dante would make some plan or the other whilst I was at work and send me a message about it. I never dared to dispute it since it would only prove his point.

It didn’t help that Hayley always seemed so much happier when she got home and I readied her for bed using that time to it’s full potential to cover up missing her all day. It was clear from the way she spoke that Dante took care of her, thought her things, and cared for her far more than I thought he would in such a short span of time.

Hayley lived being with him and she enjoyed his attention leaving me in a tough position. One one hand if I put a stop to it and fought against Dante, Hayley would be affected and, on the other hand, if I did nothing about it, I would soon slowly begin losing a bond with my own daughter. A little far fetched but at least that is what it had felt like.

I couldn’t explain this to Hayley since she was only a child who had already endured too much to bare the burden of grown up issues. I also did not want her to feel any sort of guit for being with her father neither did I want her to make sacrifices out of guilt. Again, she was only a child enjoying the newness and warmth of fatherly affection.

I took in a deep breath then exhaled through my mouth. The glass in my hand was empty and I gave it a rinse before placing it back on to the rack to dry.

Dragging my feel across the kitchen, I opened the fridge to see what it is I could cook up for one when my phone buzzed against the counter. I shut the fridge and reached for it to find Adams number flash across the screen.

“Adam!” I exclaimed eager to hear from him.

“Sophia, hey.” He greeted me back with just as much enthusiasm.

I haven’t seen Adam for weeks now. He had to make an unexpected trip to Europe for business that had come up and I guess he had only just returned recently to the states.

“Please tell me you’re back on American soil.” I pleaded.

“As a matter of fact, I’m a minute away from your house and I have food.” He said causing me to smile immediately.

I was more than ecstatic to be with a familiar face especially Adam. He was the one person who would understand what ever I had to explain to him and even if he didn’t have any solutions, it would be nice to have a listening ear.

“I will open up a bottle.” I said to him before hanging up and moving to pull out an unopened bottle of wine.
