🏵Chapter Forty-Two🏵

(Hey guys...I just wanted to thank everyone who has taken the time to read...vote and leave all the comments for me....Now I'm quite nervous about this chapter...I really hope I do it justice🤞🤞)

Taking a deep breath he knocked the door....after a few moments he could hear the lock clicking...the door opening a little.

With shaky hands she had reached for the door lock...the whole process seemed to take forever. Unlatching the lock she opened it a fraction and walked to the other side of the room as far away as possible.

He pushed it open...seeing Sanem walking away to the furthest part of the room. He closed the door and turned around.

Sanem heard the door close... however she remaind with her back towards him.

"How is he?" Can asked.

"He's fine." Sanem replied.

"I want to see him." Can said impatiently.

"He's not here...I didn't want him here." Sanem said.

"That's ok I'll go to where he is...is he still at Yousef's?"

"Aren't you forgetting the most important question?" She said now turning around to face him.

"What?" Can seemed confused...what the hell was she talking about.

"Is he mine?" She said...in one go...trying to keep her voice strong not wanting to show any hesitance.

"What...I don't need to ask that...I know he's mine."

"How could you be so sure?"

"Stop...Sanem stop this crap...I want to see my son."

"He's mine" She simply said.

"Sanem I'm trying to be as calm as I can..."

"What....what, you think you can come here and start demanding things and take charge."

"What are you talking about?"

"Look I've told you he's mine...no one else's."

"If he isn't mine why are you hiding him? Why did you run away from the hospital?"

"I'm not hiding him...I'm protecting my child. I don't expect you to understand. He's been unwell I don't want to expose him to..."

Can took some steps towards her.

"Stop." Sanem said raising her arms. "Stay there, we'll talk like this...this far apart. You don't need to come any closer." She said again try to remain strong...if he came closer she would...

"Sanem stop this....Please" He was angry...frustrated...at the same time trying to be calm. "Please...let's talk this through."

"Listen there's nothing to talk through....your work here is practically finished...don't worry about the rest. Like I told you yesterday don't worry about the launch. There's no need for you to be here."

"Stop taking nonsense...we're past these talks Sanem...we need to find a common ground."

Puckering her lips and shaking her head. "Hmm...No we don't need to do anything...you're not listening..."

"No you're not listening I want to see my son...I think I've waited long enough."

"We can stand around here all day going round and round in circles...it wouldn't make any difference. For the last time he's my child."

This time Can didn't stop and walked forward to stand in front of her....quickly thinking...Sanem put a chair in between them.

"What are you so scared of?" Can asked.
