64. Shocking news (Finale)

"Tleigh my dear?" Cassandra starts.

"Yeah?" I raise a brow at her.

"I know you're a special person to my son." She says. Wait what's that have I just heard?

" Son? Oh Bruce?" I'm a special person to Bruce? I didn't know that.

" Oh sorry not son, I meant Ballice." She corrects tensing under my gaze.

" Mmmhh..." I hum waiting to see where this conversation is heading to.

"So I was thanking you for coming into his life. You brought light into it. He'd had a dark past maybe a torturing one. I'm really thanking you from the bottom of my heart. You changed him. Even though he's not completely warm to us. He's at least communicating and sometimes he can crack jokes, something he never did before you." She crosses the space between us and she takes my hands in hers smiling.
" Thank you."

"It's really nothing, I hope he warms up completely soon, even to his Dad." I comment.

" I hope so too." She replies.

" Uhmmm Cass..." I trail looking at her. She actually told me to call her Cass.

"Yeah?" She perks up her well plucked eyebrow.

" Is there something you're not telling me, because you're always confusing yourself when you say Ballice, you always say son instead and you rub it off quickly. If my instincts are not lying to me, then I think there's something you're not telling me." I quip tiresomely. It's been a long day.

" No my dear, why would you say that?" She blurts out words running out quickly I might have missed them.

"I've known you for a long time now. I know when you're lying. Like right now." I say looking at her straight in the eye.

Tears start running down her cheeks and I'm taken aback. What's not happening?

"I've kept this as a secret Tleigh, it will turmoil me completely if I tell you. Please don't do this to me." She cries her lips quivering as she lets the words out. Turmoil her? How?

"You can trust me. I swear no one is going to find out if you tell me. I will_" I zip my mouth giving her the empty keys jokingly.

She smiles lightly and then nods after cleaning her running nose. "A day like today, it was on the 20th of December. I gave birth to a baby boy on a Thursday morning. I named him Tallun Marcus. I was so so happy even though I was seventeen by then. I had conceived when I was looking for money to pay my mother's hospital bill. We had tried all ways but it wasn't enough. I decided to sell myself. I went to the most expensive bar in town. In the Philippines, in Quezon. I was really beautiful, I mean beautiful. Boys used to fight over me even when I was not dating anyone back at school." She stops to chuckle drying her eyes.

" There's no lie there." I comment chuckling too. "You really are beautiful even now." She smiles at me and continues,

"That night I had dressed like a real slut because I really needed this money. So I was taken to the VIP section. There, I found old men and then my eyes landed on one handsome man, he was looking really posh and of age around 26. He was young from the look. He was so drunk than all the men in that room. So I walked towards him, I thought that I'll take advantage of him since he was so weak. He looked at me from his hooded eyes and smiled. But he pushed me away. I started seducing him. I really tried because he wasn't that easy going. Finally he fell for my seductions and he pulled me into a private room in that VIP section. And it happened. I found it hard to resist him. His charms were mind blowing. He'd whispered I love you before the act and I said it was just because he was drunk. So I asked for cash first. He wrote me a cheque of a hundred thousand dollars, who does that? Then after the act when he found out that I was a virgin he'd regretted, he even cried believe me or not. He'd mumbled I love you again and something like she has been playing me all this long I think, she never loved me, I'm going to send her off once I get home in NewYork. I think he was talking about his wife. I left the place and the words he said last to me were, 'I will always remember you.' She lifts her eyes to me and I nod again.
