SHADOWED

Chapter 29

Chapter 29: "I can get used to this."

I hear birds chirping and the ocean roaring. The sun peaks, biting my exposed skin.

"Wake up sleepy head. I have someone here with me who misses you so much." I hear a deep voice say.

Sighing, I switch positions and pat the spot next to me.

Empty.

This causes me to jolt up and to open my eyes which I close immediately because of the sun rays.

"Say hi to momma." I hear Alexander say.

I follow the direction of his voice and I see him at the balcony with a laughing Austin in his arm.

My heart squeezes, joy overwhelming me at the sight before me.

"Good morning." I say, my voice coming out scruffy.

Alexander walks inside the room and kisses my forehead. Austin looks at us weirdly before laughing, showing his gums. We laugh at his unexpected reach.

He looks at me and spreads he small arms in my direction. I take him in my arms and he puts my nipple inside his mouth, holding my breast in place, feeding himself.

This little boy! Here I was, thinking that he misses me and wants to be in my embrace but he had an agenda. He just saw his cow because he didn't wait to settle before grabbing my breast.

He looks into my eyes, as if appreciating me, as he feeds. I look back into his green eyes, telling him how much I love him. Alexander seats beside me on the bed, our backs to the head board, admiring his derivative.

Austin then looks at his father and forgets all about his source of food when he pulls my nipple out of his mouth and stretches his hands out to Alexander.

Alexander takes him in his arms and starts playing with him. I take Alexander's top and button it up, leaving the first two buttons unbuttoned.

I get out of bed and walk to the bathroom, keeping the door open. I hear them laughing, it bringing joy to my heart.

I wash my face and brush me teeth. I decide to make breakfast for us so I walk down the stairs. There's a knock on the door. Is Alexander expecting anyone?

I walk to the door and open it to find my nightmare facing me.

"What the fuck do you want?!" I yell, anger coursing through me.

"This is my cousins house you bitch. You can't separate us like you're trying to do! Why can't you choose one cousin once and for all?" he asks, glaring at me.

What?

"I think you need to see a doctor Damien before its too late." I tell him, confused.

"The only person who needs to see a doctor is you. I'm here for Alexander, not you. Get out of my way, whore." he says, shocking me.

"You're the whore here Damien and we both know it." I say, my hands itching to strangle him.

"That wasn't what your text messages said before I came over." he smirks.

"What messages?" Alexander and I ask at the same time.

I look back and find him standing halfway down the stairs with our sleeping son on his arm.

Damien takes out his phone and shoves past me, handing his phone to Alexander.

Alexander reads whatever is on the screen and sighs, looking annoyed.

"Damien, anyone can fake this. Why should I believe you?" he asks.

I wonder what is on that screen.

"I'll call the number then." Damien says, smirking triumphantly.

Idiot!

He calls the number behind the texts and puts it on loud speakers. My phone rings and I start running up the stairs when Alexander stops me.

"I'll go get it, take Austin." he says, handing our son over.

When he leaves, I look at Damien.

"Why are you doing this?" I ask him.

"Doing what? Exposing you for the gold digging whore you are? Exposing your for the home wrecker you are? You tried trapping him with this baby, didn't you?" he says, looking at Austin who I hold onto tightly not liking how he is looking at my son.

"I didn't even tell him of my pregnancy but we just crossed paths again and that's how he found out. If not, I was going to raise my son on my own. I don't want his or anyone's money for that matter." I glare at him.

Alexander returns with my phone in his hand, glaring at me. I look back at him confused.

"Well?" Damien asked.

Alexander took Austin forcefully from me, shocking me, more especially Austin who wakes up crying for the disturbance.

"What's wrong with you?" I ask him.

He shoves my phone into my hands.

It's ringing and on the screen is written 'Money Bag 2'. I frown, not remembering such a contact in my phone.

Damien hangs up on his phone and my phone stops ringing.

"See?" Damien says, pointing at me.

"She is a gold digger who succeeded at separating us and you let her." he adds, looking disappointed.

I find myself very confused, not understanding what the hell is going on.

"Alexander, he's lying!" I say.

"Then how come do you have his number? And saved as exactly what he is to you. Explain." he says in a low and threatening voice.

"I don't know. Maybe he added his number as such on my phone. I don't know." I say, very confused at all this.

"Yeah. When you were spending time with him, right? And I fell in your traps, fighting with my brother. I even bought a fucking ring Scarlett. I was going to propose to you. Now I see why you want to fight. That way we won't tell each other about the same woman. You are a conniving and manipulative person. Yet I still love you so much, but I'll get over you over time. Now get out of my house and never come back. I never want to see you ever again. Leave." he says, breaking my heart in ways I can't express.

I nod, doing my best not to cry. I stretch my hands out, wanting to take Austin for Alexander to shift him away from my grip.

"You aren't leaving with my son. I won't have him be raised by a woman who isn't honourable." he says, causing me to freeze.

"I'm not leaving my son Alexander. You will have to kill me first." I say, stepping closer to grab my son from him.

"Be careful what you wish for." he says, eyes gleaming darkly. My heart drops in fear but I won't let that stop me.

"Give me my child Alexander!" I yell, pulling Austin.

He slaps my hands but I keep my hands there. I keep fighting and the next thing I feel myself falling, rolling down the stairs and hearing Alexander yelling my name.

Then everything turns black and I feel myself slip away slowly, feeling a thick liquid on my cheek.

"Keep your eyes open Scarlett. Please don't leave us baby, i'm sorry baby. I don't want to loose you. Damien, stop standing there and call the fucking ambulance!" he yells, his voice fading in and out.

"Let her die. That's what she gets for rejecting me." Damien says.

Silence follows.

"I love you A-" I moan out before feeling the darkness enclose me.

A.N:

And the devil returns yet again to torment the happy.

I hate Damien, don't you?

Alexander is starting to piss me off, you too?

Yet the heart wants what it wants and even at deaths door, her heart yearns for Alexander.
