Chapter 3
Sam Pov
My son went up first while I laughed and followed him. He's still 5 years old but his IQ is high. I entered Kiel's room while my son was in his room. I went straight to the bathroom to take a shower, I smelled like sweat. I soaked for a few minutes before I went out and got dressed.
I came out of the walk in closet when my phone rang. I frowned and looked who it was and my mother's name was revealed. I sat on the bed before I answered.
"daughter?" I can feel the joy in his voice. I frowned but before I could say anything I was immediately ahead.
"We've seen your brother, we know who he is, we're going to find him." I stiffened and couldn't help but feel joy. I smiled at Mommy's news. I already have a brother. I will have a brother.
"really? Good news mom." I said smiling, I could also feel the pleasure in my voice. I took a deep breath because I was nervous for I don't know why.
"yes? we'll be together soon." I smiled. My mother will always be happy.
"I'll put it down, I'm coming." before I could say a word, the call ended. I took a deep breath and smiled. Good news. I already have a brother. I've always wanted to have a brother because I've been alone all my life. I am the only child of mom and dad.
I left the room after the call. I went straight down to the kitchen and my son was staring at me enjoying the food while smiling.
I looked at the clock on the side cabinet. Kiel hasn't come home yet, it's gone. Did that man eat? I hope he doesn't miss eating. I sighed before I sat on my son's table.
I'm used to always coming home late but I still can't stop myself from waiting. Anyway, she's still my wife. Still married in the eyes of the law. Even if I'm not loved, it's enough for me that we're married and it can't be taken from me.
I ate but I was still thinking about Kiel and my brother. I can't wait to see my long lost brother, I look at my son sarp that the food is delicious.
I finished my food immediately and so did my son. It is already dressed in pajamas. I smelled it and I was positive that it had already taken a half bath. I pursed the side of my lips and so did my son.
"take a sleep now austen." he said it while setting the dining table. He helped the manang even though they stopped me. I can do a lot in the kitchen, I can cook, I can bake, I can clean, that's what I can do in the kitchen but I don't do much anymore because I'm busy with my son.
"I can't sleep, sleepy mommy hasn't visited me yet." my son's soul I put the last dish on the sink before I approached my son who was sitting in the high chair here.
"but you can't stay up." I said but he just shook his head. Snort and look away and just eat cookies that manang bought yesterday. I can't bake because I don't have time. My son's favorite is the cookies he inherited from Kiel. They don't like sweet food but when it comes to cookies they don't give up.
"Read me a story mommy, I'll go with you and wait for daddy." I was surprised by what my son said. I shook my head because I didn't want to. My son snorted when I shook his head.
"please?" when it pleads. I also looked away and thought. Maybe Kiel won't bring the girl here yet, right? let's just say that he was busy with work even though I saw him earlier at the restaurant. My heart ached when I remembered that.
"Fine." I know the reason for his smile while eating cookies. I lifted it in my arms and carried it to the living room. I took a book from the booklet in the living room. I immediately stood beside my son.
I started telling stories to my son but his energy increased even more. Not even sleepy. It constantly eats cookies. I continued reading the story even after the housemates said goodbye to go to bed.
My son leaned on my chest while his eyes were still wide open. I snorted, when will it be sleepy? I continued but stopped when I heard the hum of a car that had just stopped.
"Daddy's here?" I nodded to my son. My son turned to me. I have its face. His back was to the door. My eyes immediately flew to the door when it opened and revealed to me the..
Damn it! just wow!
Before my son could turn to the door, I immediately covered his eyes. I saw Kiel who had just entered while there was a beautiful woman with him at the restaurant earlier.
"mommy I can't see anything."
Fuck!
I covered my son's eyes when Kiel entered with a kissable woman. My tears fell one by one until it was one after another. I tightened my grip on my son even though he deliberately removed my hand covering his eyes. My heart aches.
"mommy, I can't see anything."
My son broke the silence causing them to stop kissing and face us together. The woman paled while Kiel was emotionless. My vision is blurred and my heart aches. I hope my son and I just slept. I hope we didn't wait any longer. My son struggled but I didn't give in.
Kiel looked back at the woman before he whispered causing the woman to nod and leave. Kiel turned his eyes to us and opened his wide eyes to us. Next, my tears flowed. I still beat the stabbing. Right in front of my son. Pigs.
Before Kiel could get close to us, I picked up my son and carried him in my arms and went upstairs. I removed my hand from my son's eyes.
"daddy?"
my son called his father. We went up and left Kiel there. I didn't show my son my tears. I get hurt, I'm used to it but I can't help but get hurt especially in front of my son. I closed my eyes tightly when I felt the physical pain of my heart.
I passed Kiel and I's room and went straight to my son's room. I feel weak but I try to strengthen my body. I'm hurting.
"let's sleep austen, daddy's home now so we don't have to worry." I said painfully.
My son nodded but I knew he still wanted to talk to his father. My heart ached as I looked at my son. How does he do it? My tears flowed one after the other, but my son didn't see because all the lights in his room were dimmed.
"close ur eyes austen." my son nodded and slowly closed his eyes. I just sobbed quietly. Pain is pain. I looked up and hugged myself. I cried quietly so my son wouldn't hear
"S-sam?."
I heard a knock and Kiel's voice outside the door. I bit my lower lip before wiping away my tears and laid down next to my son before the door opened. I hugged my son and closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep.
I felt Kiel's footsteps. I kept my eyes closed but my tears kept falling and they just hit the pillow.
Fuck!
I felt Kiel close to us. I felt the bed on the other side shake. I didn't notice until I felt Kiel's scent on my son's head.
I don't know what he did as long as I heard his footsteps leaving until I heard the door open and close.
I tried to sleep. I tried to forget what I saw again. I can not sleep. My tears are constantly falling, causing me to gradually feel annoyed. I didn't sleep last night which is why I woke up wide awake. I looked at the clock that was next to my cabinet and it was early morning.
I rubbed my eyes then slowly got up so that my son wouldn't wake up. I went straight to my son's bathroom and did my morning routine. After that, I left the room and went straight downstairs to cook.
I wake up early, I cook for my parents. Make sure the assistants are still asleep. I immediately went downstairs when the phone rang at home. I frowned and came closer to answer who called.
I haven't forgotten what happened last night. I haven't forgotten the hardship yet. I just put it out of my mind. The important thing is that my son didn't see it. The important thing is that my son will not hold a grudge against his father.
The call was answered.
"Hija? I can't contact your phone so I'm just here." it's just mommy. I straightened up while I straightened my soot robe.
"I'm already in the Philippines, your brother is with us." I can feel the joy in Mom's voice. I was able to stand up better. Little by little my smile brightened.
"Really? You came straight to Mom's house." I answered smiling
"No, you're the one who went to our house, you know your brother is excited to see the house." I snorted but eventually nodded even though they couldn't see.
"Sure, I'll be the one to go, I want to meet her Mom." I said. Mom immediately ended the call. Medjo, mommy's house is far away from Kiel and I's house. I immediately went to the kitchen to start cooking.
I went to the refrigerator to get the ingredients. I put it on the table in front of me. I started slicing my things but before that I put on an apron. I started slicing vegetables again, then garlic and I know what else.
"Samanth!"
Shit!
Because of the panic, I injured my hand with the knife I was holding because of Kiel's scream. Little by little I saw the blood but I immediately wiped it on the apron and did not reveal it.
"why?" I asked frowning as I felt the wound on my hand.
"faster! I have a meeting this morning."
There was no emotion in it before I was abandoned. I closed my eyes tightly and immediately washed my hand that had a wound. So deep. It's painful but I have to finish my cooking.
At first I ignored my wound and started to slice and cook again. It hurt but I endured. I looked at my dining table where Kiel was sitting while looking at the phone Who is he texting you?
I can't help but feel jealous and envious of whoever it is because Kiel never did that to me. It's luck. I smiled bitterly and my heart ached a little
