Eufy-Loviette Johnson POV
"What the hell Alexandre? You see you have a lot of nerve. What happened last night was a mistake"
His shoulders drop, and his face falls, his eyes hold a shattered look, as I've I've pierced a knife into his heart and he never expected me to be the one to do it.
"You don't mean that" he whispers softly
"You don't know anything" I say, trying to calm myself and keep my anger down so that I don't raise my voice to startle my son
"You don't know what I mean and what I don't. What do you think this is? A circus? Do I look like a joke to you? You think you can just barge in and leave and barge in again anytime you want? I am sorry to disappoint you your royal highness, but this, this right here, is my life. The life I didn't stop building four years ago when you left me. When you came into my life, made your impact, and left me to once again, pick up the broken pieces. I had been tainted, you knew that. I was still healing when I met you, you knew that. Yes, you helped me gain my confidence back. You were there with me when no one else was. You were my go-to. You were my rock, everything I needed at that time and I am so grateful I met you at the time I did. Which is why you didn't need to just up and leave because I trusted you! I trusted you and I thought that trust was reciprocated. I thought you loved me enough to tell me everything just as I did for you. But you lied to me. You hid your true identity"
"I know nothing at all I say can justify the mistake I made. I am not going to try and explain either why I did what I did because it's useless. All I know is that I hurt you and I hurt you bad, and I am sorry. But in those four years if there is one thing that didn't change, it was my love for you. I love you more now than I loved you four years ago. If anything attracted me to you it was how strong willed you were and still are. Look at the life you have created for yourself in just four years Eufy. You're a medical doctor and a mother. A house owner. Of course, there is too much respect for me to barge into your life, I can't even. That's why I am asking you for permission and forgiveness. God in heaven knows I can't live without you if not I wouldn't even be here. I left everything back there Eufy. I left my whole life in France because I just couldn't keep lying to myself that you're not the only thing that can fill the void in my chest. That is why I have come here. Please forgive me. You say yesterday was a mistake but I know that's not the case. You're only trying to hurt me as much as I hurt you and I understand. I deserve it. Please give me a chance to love you and be a father to our son"
"My son." I scoff "I don't know what delusion you're living in. But that boy is not your son. He is not anyone's son but mine and I won't have anyone claiming him. You think you can just up and leave and come back when you feel like and I'll be the same Eufy sitting down here, waiting for you and opening my arms to welcome you?"
"Eufy"
"Alexandre"
"I'm sorry"
"Well I'm sorry too. I'm sorry life is a bitch and things don't always work out the way we want. You'll have to leave"
"But Autry regards me as his father"
I shake my head. Surprised.
"So that was your intention. You're now using my son as your ticket to stay in my life? That was your intention when you fed him that nonsense this morning thinking you could win him over just so I would allow you to be here?"
"Eufy no. God, please stop misunderstanding me. I know it will take a lot of effort to have you back and I wouldn't want to try using our son. You know damn well that boy has been mine since the first kiss I have to your belly when you were pregnant. I promised you that both you and him were mine and I would take care of both of you!"
"And you broke that promise!"
"And I am sorry!" He deflates "I was an idiot. I was stupid. I made hasty and rushed decisions. I was being pulled in two different directions and I didn't know what to do. I made a mistake and I know you're firm believer that we humans are better and bigger than our mistakes. You have to admit, that out of a 100, I did 99 things right and made this one horrible mistake. Please Eufy, forgive me"
"It's not that easy"
"I know" he says, stepping closer to me "But I'll try. I'll make it work. Just tell me you'll give me the chance. Just once last chance Eufy please"
He looks into my eyes. He's begging. His eyes are begging. His body is begging. His soul is begging. I can feel it. Damn I want this, more than anything I want to give it another try.
But I hate to get hurt. But life's all about the sacrifices and the risks we're willing to take right?
"One chance. That's all you've got"
"One chance"
