Aspen's POV
I pulled back and ran my hand through my hair.
She slid down against her car, rubbing her neck while coughing. She stood up and leaned against the car.
"What the hell are you doing?!" She barked, coughing.
"You did it purposely. You pushed Serena that she lost the baby. You know she is pregnant." I snarled.
"Don't talk bullshit! I didn't know that she got knocked up. Sneaky bitch!" She said.
I clenched my fist, holding myself hard. "Don't lie to me. I know that you have sent her a message telling her to get rid of the baby." I snapped.
"She is lying. I didn't send anything." She said.
I gave her a mocking laugh. "She showed me the message that was sent to her from my phone. I don't think I need to remind you what has been written in the message. You have sent it when you were in my penthouse. I saw my phone in your hand. It is the same day when the message was sent." I said.
"Yes, I have sent that message." She confessed, folding her arms over her chest. "I will not let her separate us. She purposely got knocked up to wrap you around her little finger. I am not stupid. She is a calculating bitch!" She snarled.
I shook my head, giving her a disgusted look.
"I loathe you. You selfish, self-centered, manipulative bitch!" I snarled.
"You didn't think like that when we had been together." She said, giving me a cocky smirk.
"Yes, it is the only thing that I will regret for the rest of my life." I admitted. She gritted her teeth. "Stay away from Serena and my baby." I warned her.
"If I will not..?" She said, giving me an arrogant smirk.
"Then your lovely husband will find how loyal his wife is." I said confidently, giving her an arrogant smirk, placing my hand into my pocket.
"He will not believe some newbie like you." She said with self-confidence. "You mama's little boy." She mocked and squeezed my chin, smirking arrogantly.
I gave her a cocky smirk as I pulled my head away. I pulled out my phone and found her photo with me, naked in the bed on my phone. I saved this photo as a reassurance.
I showed her the photo and said arrogantly. "I think it will help."
Her eyes widened as she looked at the photo. I pulled my phone back as she wanted to grab it.
"Tut tut." I shook my head, smirking. "Do you really think it is just one copy?" I asked mockingly. Her face turned red with anger. "What? Didn't you wait for this mama's boy to do it?" I asked, giving her a cocky smirk.
She gritted her teeth. "You can not do it." She said.
"Try me, Auntie." I said, smirking and went towards my car.
I got in my car and drove away.
****
I sat down on the bench in front of the hospital. I held my head in my hands, thinking.
Suddenly, someone placed a hand on my shoulder. I lifted my head up.
"Dad."
"Could I join you?" He asked. I nodded.
He gave me a slight smile and sat down beside me on the bench. I was staring into space, entwining my hands.
"You proved again that you are my son." He said, giving me a slight smile. I looked at him, puzzled.
"You broke the heart of the only woman who you love so much like me." He sighed and continued. "When I saw your mother for the first time, I couldn't take my eyes off her. She was so beautiful." He said, smiling. "But I was a stupid, arrogant, carefree playboy in that time. I was just thinking about having a good time." He shrugged his shoulders. I gave him a slight smile. "Mike and Dan told me she was a tough girl, and she would not give me a chance. Because of my too big ego, I bet with Mike that I would make her fall in love with me and have sex with her."
I looked at him, shocked. I didn't know about it. I just knew they were in love. Madly and deeply.
"But in the end, it was not just her who fell in love. I fell in love with her, too. Deeply and madly." He smiled. "But..." He paused as he sighed. "One day, I was telling Mike that I wanted to end the bet, and I loved Ashley. But unfortunately, she heard it, but not all our conversation, just the part about the bet. And.... she broke up with me." He said, looking away as sadness clouded his features. "But there was something else, she was pregnant with you. She wanted to surprise me. So she returned from her holiday early to tell me about her pregnancy, but she has heard it before telling me about your presence." He sighed, running his hand through his hair.
"I felt devastated, hopeless, lonely. I did everything to make her forgive me. But one day, she came to our house with James as his wife. My world collapsed. My heart shattered into a million pieces. The woman who I loved desperately was my brother's wife. It was unbearable." He shook his head gloomily.
My eyes widened in shock. My mother was married to my uncle. Is it a joke?!
"My mother was married to my uncle?" I asked, dumbfounded.
"No, fortunately, no. They lied to us, pretending that they were married. Your uncle and your mother were friends, but she didn't know James was my brother, nor James knew about our relationship. Your mother accepted it to keep me away from her and....you." He sighed. "She thought that I didn't love her, and I wouldn't want you too. I was dying every day seeing her with him. She was suffering too. We made each other suffer knowingly with our actions and words. I didn't want to think if James wasn't my brother, what would happen." He shook his head with a serious expression. "Maybe, I haven't known I have a son, you my treasure." He smiled, placing his hand on the back of my neck. I smiled back. "Or I didn't have a happy life with your mother, the love of my life. And Elva my noisy princess." He chuckled. I beamed at him. "But fortunately, everything ended. And I found out about you, and I got back together with your mother. But today, you proved you are my son. You look like me in love matters too. You hurt the only woman who you love and made yourself suffer..." He smiled. "Like me." He added. "But don't repeat my mistakes. Don't waste your time for your pride. Never give up and do everything to make her forgive you. Don't let her go. Prove you are my son in it too." He said, squeezing my nape slightly.
"I promise, Dad. I will not let her go. I will make her forgive me." I promised. He smiled and hugged me. I hugged him back.
"I love you, Dad." I said.
He tapped on my back as he said. "I love you too, my treasure."
