Melanie's Secret

Damien

It had been four years since I had seen her, and she still had the same anger in her eyes as the day she left. I wish I could have taken back sleeping with Sasha, I never should have hurt Melanie that day or ever. She had the right to be mad at me but I had to get closer to her. I had to. I would never meet my son if I didn't.  I had only known about Ryan for a couple months and that is why I had moved to the New York office. I was the one that had the email sent to her so that she could get the interview. I found out where she lived in New York, where Ryan's preschool was, who her friends and even boyfriend was. I was furious that she has kept me from him for this long, but I had to make sure Ryan was actually mines.  The only reason I knew about Ryan is because I had run into Melanie's father one day. He saw me and punched me hard in my face, it took me awhile to get back straight but after that I got him to have a conversation with me. 

He had told me that Melanie had a son named Ryan who was only a couple years old. He didn't know if it was mines or someone else's. I had to know if Ryan was mine. I had always wanted a child, especially with Melanie because I knew she would be a good wife and mom, and I had messed everything up by cheating. Once I moved to New York I had to look for her for awhile before I finally found her and Ryan. They were living in a two bedroom, one bathroom, small kitchen and small living room apartment. It was only ten minutes away from my building so I knew she would take the job to be closer to home. I had to go see her the night after the day I had finally seen her. I wanted to confront her about Ryan and see if he was mine. 

There was a way I would know for sure that Ryan was mine. My family from my dad all the way from my grandfather to my little sister had green emerald eyes. It was a trait that no matter who we married, our kids would have green eyes to. So as I made my way up the stairs in her apartment. I knocked on the door and heard her telling someone to head to her room, I wondered if she had a man in her apartment. I shouldn't be jealous about her seeing some other guy, but if that man is around my son I will kill him. When she opened the door her eyes grew big and she froze just staring at me. Then its like all her senses came back and she became angry all over again. Why are you here Damien she asked with no emotion in her face at all.

 Is Ryan my son Melanie,  I asked her and her jaw dropped.
