Two to Tango

Chapter Fifteen

It's been 2months since I and Xander have been together, it's been amazing and I can't be any more happy, except I haven't seen or spoken to Kaden. Xander is always around me at home and work? I don't even have time for myself there. Sometimes I just wish everything could be perfect that I could tell Xander he had a child living in Spain but I'm scared he might take him away from him, seek custody for him and go away, far away from me. I won't be able to take that heartbreak, when I divorced Xander it was hell before I got myself back, isolations and constant drinking, thoughts on suicide, I couldn't focus on anything except Xander but if kaden Is taken away from me I'll never be able to recover from it, two months is not enough for me to trust Xander  with the responsibilities and life of Kaden, he's a good boyfriend, he was a good husband but a father? I'm sure that thought will freak him out, and his daughter that died? How will he react about Kaden? He never really told me much about his daughter or the mother of the child either, whenever I want to talk about it he always shrugs it off and I don't want to push him, he should have his time.

"What are you always thinking about Mia?" He asked rubbing my hair soothingly bringing me out of my thoughts.
We were outside under the night sky sitting on a bench outside my house in our garden, my head on his lap drawing circles on the bench while his hand running through my hair softly and soothingly. I sighed
"It's nothing really" I said while he hummed, i know he didn't believe me but he doesn't want to push it further.
"Mia, if you claim to like me so much, why did you divorce me?" He asked
My heart begun to race do I really have to say this?well I should, I shouldn't hide much secret from him.
"I was forced to" I replied
"Forced to? Who forced you to?" He asked confusion and anger lacing his questions, I raised my head on his lap sitting down on the bench comfortably before replying
"Vicky" I said nonchalantly
"Vicky? My girlfriend before we got married?"he asked and I knew he already knows the answer but just wanted clarification
"Yes" I said
"How?..why?..tell me how?" He urged and I sighed
This is going to be a long night!

Recap:
I was rushing through the hospital hall, I just got a call from Xander's mum saying he was hit by a truck, searching for the room I found it, just about to turn the knob, someone pulled me by the arm, I came in contact with Vicky, Xander ex girlfriend, well before I fell in Love with Xander, they were in love with each other, I used to let them see each other for the first year until Xander cut her off when he confessed his feelings for me.
I took in her appearance, long black hair in a red dress and black heels.. I won't deny the fact that she's pretty, she's really beautiful.
"What is it Vicky, I need to see Xander" I say In panic trying to remove  her grip from me.
"Oh no! You won't be seeing Xander... not soon" she replied causing me to frown.
"Why? What happened?" I asked fear creeping inside of me.
"Because he lost his memory, he doesn't remember me, he doesn't remember you, he doesn't remember anything" she yelled
He doesn't remember me?
"You're lying Vicky I need to go and check" I said tears streaming down my eyes
"Oh you don't have to, take a look at the results" she said handing me pieces of papers, I read it until I saw that he lost his memory. My tears falling extremely fast.
"Come to the bathroom, come to wash your face" she said leading me to the bathroom as I washed my  face, she gripped my shoulders harshly causing me to gasp, I've never seen Vicky as a threat but I'm scared of her today I looked back into her eyes just to see her glaring at me with hate and envy.
"You have one hour to leave this city and never return" she said dangerously low
"Why?" I asked shot of words
"Why?" She laughed loudly before pulling out a gun  pointing it to my head, I stared at her wide eyed, before she dropped some papers on the bathroom basin, I looked at it and looked back at her in shock. Are these?...
"Divorce papers" she said. I couldn't say anything just stare at her my eyes open like they are about to pop out
"You'll sign these papers, move out of this country immediately and never return" she said
"No! I won't do such thing!" I snapped not caring my life was at stake here, I'm not going to leave Xander not like this.
"Oh you will" she said smiling crazily "your mother? Well I have her hostage, she's at gun point right now. So it will be better for you if you just do as I say, sign the papers and leave the country or else I'll make orders to kill your mother first, then I'll kill Xander and his pathetic mother and then I'll kill you and your unborn child" she said lowering the gun to me stomach, I jumped putting my hands on my belly as if it will protect my 2weeks pregnancy, how did she know about it? Even Xander didn't know yet.
"Please" i pleaded
"Why are you doing this" I asked tears streaming my face
"Because it's fun don't you see? I had to watch you take away the love of my life right under my nose and you think I'd let you be?" She asked placing the tip of the gun on my stomach through my shirt, I gasped at the coldness of the metal against my skin.
How would I live if all these people die on me?
And my baby?
How would I live with myself? I won't be able to to live with my spirit even in my dead!
Tears flowed down my face profusely, I stared back at the divorce papers then to the gun on my stomach. What should I choose?
"Don't waste my time!" She yelled I jumped out of my skin taking the papers in a hurry and signing them my tear drop staining the sheets.
"I'll miss you Xander and I love you so much" I said in my heart Hoping some angel can deliver the message.
"Go now, a man is waiting for you outside the hospital, he'll take you to my private jet and dump you wherever he pleases, if you come back! I'll find you and kill you off for good!...and I'm your mother? She'll meet you in the jet too"She said before she left the bathroom.
My life has just been shattered.

End of recap.

After telling Xander, he quickly took my face in his hands, I could see tears glistening his eyes threatening to fall,he begun to shake his head.
"I did loose my memory but it was temporary, after some time i regained them back and that's when Vicky came with the divorce papers, she told me you never loved me and only wanted me for my money, that immediately you found out about my memory loss you dropped your signature on the papers and left to meet your lover, I believed her, she sounded so sincere and I signed the divorce papers too and had it submitted to the court, and then...and then I-vicky-well she-we slept with each other and we made Samantha, when she got pregnant with Samantha, she said she would kill her self and her unborn child if I didn't give her the company in Spain, so I willed it to her and in return she gave me Samantha, I couldn't let a poor child be killed because of my selfish ways, I had to do it and 4years after, Samantha fell sick and she died.Vicky couldn't care less, she tried making another baby with me but I refused. I loved Samantha so much that I couldn't bear another child as a rebound, I didn't know she did all that to you, I could have finished her off, I'm sorry"he said tears flowing down his cheek just to mirror mine, I rested his head on my chest and hugged him tightly.
"I'm sorry" I whispered softly
"I love you mia, I'm never going to let you go again" he said almost a whisper, if I wasn't so close I wouldn't have heard it.
Well at least he knows some part of the story, I told him what he needed to know making sure to cut away Kaden's part, he doesn't need to know yet until I think he's ready to know. Kaden is and always be my first priority.

'I loved Samantha so much that I couldn't bear to have another child as a rebound"

It's better to keep Kaden away for a while.
