LAST HEART

XXXIV

Amor woke up early the next day and got her daughters ready for school and as soon as they had left she got her and her son ready to go to the hospital. She dressed him in a long sleeve vest and jeans. She had more clothes for him in his nappy bag.

' Where are you off to so early?'

Her mother inlaw asked as she walked into the kitchen in a white no sleeve jumpsuit which had pockets on the breast area and on her thighs and paired it with her red bottoms Caleb bought for her birthday last year.

' we're going to see Caleb. I'm worried about him. Especially after what grandad had said last night.'

' You know he got him security. He'll be fine and safe.'

' Mma you don't know my ex husband. He's the devil reincarnated and you don't get to see his evil side till he wants something from you or he no longer has a use for you. Rob is evil and I tried to tell Caleb but he would not listen.'

Amor sat down with her mother inlaw and told her the real story about her life before Caleb. All they knew was that she was married and now divorced due to an unfaithful husband but never knew about the abuse she had gone through when Rob became rich and unfaithful.

' Wow. I never knew all that and Caleb never said a thing.'

' He told me it was all in the past and that I did not need to keep relieving its I should just tell his family that Rob was unfaithful.'

' My poor Caleb he's always been a sensitive child and that's why he got played a lot. Abused by these women for his kindness. Except Tina , now that woman was an angel. He was just too caught up in his past relationships he did not realise her good intentions until it was too late. '

' Tina?'

' Yeah she left him two years before y'all met. He never got over her.'

Caleb's mother realised what she had said and quickly tried to correct herself.

' That was until he met you of course.'

Amor smiled wealky, she knew nothing about a Tina and could not help but wonder why her husband never mentioned her as she knew about all his former girlfriends ,atleast she thought.

' Shoot. Where did the time go?!! It's already visiting time and I have an hour's drive.  See you later. I'll pick the girls up after school. Don't go ringing the alarm when they dont get off the bus.'

Amor said recalling how she once called the police after Caleb forgot to inform her that he would be picking up Caitlyn when Amor gave birth to Caedyn. The nurses greeted her with smiles as she walked into the oncology ward. Theyasked about the baby and how she was doing since they knew about her and her son during their hospital stay and she politely replied back hoping this would get her extra time with her husband.

' I thought granpa said daddy had twenty four hour security?!'

She said to her son surprised to find no one outside her husband's room door when she got off the elevator. Panic sat in when she noticed the room was empty and neatly made. His locker was clean and all the flowers were gone. Amor ran out to look for the nurses only to bump into someone. Her vision was cloudy and had left her son in the room.

' Hey! Hey, what's wrong?'

' Caleb!!?'

She wiped her eyes before bending over and embracing him in a hug since he was in a wheelchair. They stood in one position for s minute as she continued to cry on his shoulders.
