What?
He got married after me?
He had sex with another woman?why?
All these years I was grieving the fact I couldn't see him again, he had a family in Italy enjoying his life while I had to struggle for Kaden alone. I looked at him dumbfounded until something struck me
"I had a daughter"
Had?
"What do you mean had?" I asked him, I could see him tense at my words.
"She died 2years ago" he replied
Even though I'm mad he had a child outside I couldn't help but feel bad, his child died I really don't want to imagine it, I don't want to imagine my life without Kaden. I'll die along with him.
"I'm..so sorry Alexander" I said putting my hand on his own that was balled in a fist due to anger.
"Who was she?...her mother I mean" I asked quietly not able to stop myself
"That doesn't matter, does it?!" He snapped
"No, I'm sorry" I said quickly retracting my hands from his.
"Don't you dare give me that face!"he yelled surprising me
"What face?"I asked confused
"That innocent looking face! You can't lie to me that you didn't sleep with men in Brooklyn" he said through clenched teeth. I looked at him unable to form words not because I did it, I never slept with any man in these years, to know that he thinks of me as a whore is quite shocking.
"I never slept with anybody" I snapped
"Oh sorry, because I did and I liked it!"he yelled back and my heart squeezed unpleasantly, tears brimming my eyes
"It doesn't matter" I lied trying to keep my composure
"We are divorced,you can...go on with whoever you like" I said quietly, he scoffed while my phone begun to ring, I picked up seeing Theresa as the caller ID.
No no no not now.
What does she want?
I declined it while Xander gave me a pointed look but I shrugged giving him a nervous smile, just as I was about to continue eating my salad, my phone shrilled again. Oh no! Is Kaden okay? Yes I'm sure he's fine, I was about to decline the call again when Xander said
"You should answer your lover"
I scoffed "it's not my lover! I don't even have a lover!" I snapped
"Then answer it and put it on speaker" he challenged and I did just that
"Hey Theresa" I said
"Mia, are you okay? Have you gotten there?" She asked worry lacing her words
"I'm fine theresa and yes I've gotten there" I replied calmly while she took a deep breath, I sighed
"I'm not a child Theresa, I'll be 28 soon" I said with a small laugh.
" Even when you're 50, I'll still be worried about you my dear...bye enjoy your date" she said and hung up.
I dropped my phone on the table before looking at Xander, I could see the nervousness and guilt oozing out of him and I couldn't help but smirk before leaning forward to look at him clearly.
"Cat got your tongue?" I asked
"Shutup!" He said quietly and I laughed loudly, I'm actually enjoying this much.
"Why? You were so positive about me having a lover weren't you?" I asked with amusement
"Let's forget about that" he said sternly trying to avoid it
"No! You have to apologize for underestimating me" I urged
" okay fine! I'm sorry" he said frustratingly
"No it has to be from your heart" I said putting him on the edge while pointing his finger to his heart.
"I'm sorry mia" he said quietly and I could see the sincerity in his eyes, I couldn't help but smile.
I remember the Xander I married 8years ago, for the first year we weren't really compatible, we didn't marry for love at first, even though we were childhood friends, he had a girlfriend but we were already betrothed to one another and after a year we begun to fall for each other then we turned to a loving couple. He was an amazing man, not until Victoria came to spoil everything and I was forced to leave my marriage with 2weeks pregnancy, it wasn't such a pleasant life, to live without the person you love for 6years, I knew I was a kid when I got married but marrying Xander was not something I would ever regret, divorcing him was...and I know I shouldn't say this but I would love to get married to him again, take things back to the way it was, I still lo...like him.
"Stop thinking much mia, you'll have a migraine" Xander said bringing me out of my thoughts.
