    "Let us in", Alex urged her.

   After taking a deep breath that seemed to be like a difficult thing for her, Dawn started. 

   "After I divorced you, I got married to my now late husband..."

  "Late??", both Alex and Keila repeated shocked.

  "Yeah late", she answered. "To be sincerely speaking, I left your father for him cause even before I met Alex, I knew Davis. I didn't fall in love with him but his looks and his influence. Davis was controlling billions and he was very famous with connections in countries. Every woman wanted to get married to him and news had it that he was one of the best man to be with, because he would ruin you with affection and money. Typical of some women like us, I wanted him too. But then, I couldn't get him. It was very hard, though I had chances to meet him, but still, he didn't look at me, he just acted nice and then when needed we talk business and he was off. Later I took my mind off of him and met Alex, about months after I let go of Davis. Instead, I fell in love with Alex for who he naturally was, not what I heard or what he pretended to be. The story here and then, ended on the fact that we got married soon after and we had you. Everything was perfect for many years after until one day I got to meet Davis again. This time, I had to complete my job in his head office in our country here, so I travelled there. Along the line, I still felt myself wanting the attention I always craved from being with Davis. He then noticed me and started getting closer with me. Then he promised to marry me, although I was sincere that I had a husband and daughter I wasn't ready to leave, he persuaded me and I got carried away. I immediately started loosing the feelings I had with Alex and things changed in our home cause it was noticeable, I was anticipating a new life with Davis. Truth be told, I thought I lost the feelings, I just didn't know I was blinded. You might be wondering that your father is also rich and all that, but Davis had a lot of hype I was willing to risk and be with him, foolish, yeah I know. It was sudden when I wanted a divorce, you both knew that and I got it. I went ahead with Davis, he marked a private wedding, just the priest, himself and I. It was not what I wanted anyways, I wanted it exquisite that that will be probably where you will both learn what step I took next from, but since that disappointed me, I kept it low. Before he promised to marry me, he said he had just a wife too and he was willing to take me over her, I was very foolish cause he didn't choose to divorce her like I did to my husband, I later found out he had about four wives and tons of children all over. He did give me a large house to live, alone with assistants, but then he never defined the true meaning of affection, Davis was not what he was hyped to be. He barely checked on me and when he did, it was just to get intimate with me and he immediately left. I got tired of that and complained, but each time I did, I got beaten by him, at times, his guards. He said I couldn't control his decisions. Even into that, I couldn't let you and Keila see mthe new life I was living, so I planned visits and pretended everything was fine. That ended three years ago cause I started becoming a shadow of myself, I got frequently sick a lot of times and he was never there. He just paid bills when he found out about it. I was depressed and hurt, he still continued to use me though. Then I got diagnosed at a point in the hospital. I needed close check on, and care cause my health was fast deteriorating. I told him about this but then it got worse, he said things that hurt my pride always and I realized I have been nothing but stupid. Now here I am, with just two years left to live, and nothing to be happy for in the rest of the journey...."

    "I didn't get you quite well, two years to what?", Alex asked his brain getting sparks.

  "I have two years left Alex, I am very sick".

  "Mum, look at you", Keila cried with her nose running and her eyes bloodshot from crying while listening to her mum.

  "Yeah I messed it all up, I know already".

  "But Dawn, you didn't need that. You kept all these to yourself for years, damn it, but I always loved you sincerely and you even had to do that to me. Well right now is not the best time for that, your animal-like husband has to be dealt with".

  "Dad, she mentioned he is late now", Keila reminded him.

  "He died last year and things haven't been better. His family claimed that they didn't know about our coming together and they only knew the house I was living was a property of his they wanted to get back, I have then had to live in local rented houses where all I had could afford. I couldn't let you guys see me in that situation, I only manage to come here because even though it looks quite expensive, it's cheap and affords me all the peace I want alone".

  "Wow, I'm really shocked and I don't know how to take this news Dawn, you!", Alex raged, memories of how torn he was when she left fighting his brain.

  He wondered what could have made her want a divorce 22 years after their almost perfect marriage and here was her fucking explanation. A man who didn't deserve her.

  "You can't shout at me Alex", she told him calmly not looking bothered.

  "Mom, you..you...really have just....just....two years.....to?", Keila asked in between tears. "I dunno why it suddenly feels wrong to call you mom", she said, picked up her bag and walked to the door, impatiently waiting for it to automatically open, with Alex calling after her.

  "We will finish this later, we can't get it solved in one night, take care of yourself and I'm sorry I have to go".

  "Yeah it's fine, take care of her for me and I need her forgiveness".

   Alex just shook his head and walked briskly after his daughter leaving Dawn alone in the private room.
