I quickly carried Caden and we ran up to the room.

We laid on the bed and got under the blanket.

I was shaking so bad and Caden couldn’t help but stare at me under the duvet.

He’s back? That monster is back? No , it can’t be.

“What’s gonna happen” Caden asked mad I hugged him tighter.

My lips shivered as I tried letting out some words.

“Nothing “ I told Caden and shut my eyes tight.

“Just close your eyes and sleep “ I told Caden and he did as I told him.

He can’t get in here, I locked all the doors and windows so there’s now way he can enter in here.

My heart was pounding, my eyes were still shut right but I couldn’t sleep.

Why would he even think of coming back? What does he want now?

⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩⏩

.

I flinched when my alarm went off.

I sat up and switched off the alarm.

I went to the window and looked out........still scared of what happened last night.

I went downstairs and looked out through the window whether I’d see anything suspicious.

I pulled the curtains aside and went to the kitchen to make Caden breakfast 🥞.

I was done with the breakfast so I went to wake Caden up.

I took him inside the shower and bathed him.

I dressed him up, arranged his books in his backpack and took him downstairs for breakfast.

I fed him and he went to school in the bus.

I went back upstairs and freshened up.

I dressed up and went downstairs to have some breakfast.

My eyes were baggy with dark circles cause I didn’t sleep last night.

The thought of my dad coming back kinda stroke some nerves in me.

He can’t come back now, he’s evil.

Right now, I’m so scared and I don’t know what to do.

I lost my appetite so I took back the food I had dished to the kitchen and got ready to go to the resto.

I grabbed my hand bag and went to catch a bus.

I arrived at the resto and I was kinda surprised that Bryan was already there before me.

He’s being super early today? Wow.

I went in and went over to the credenza where he was.

There were already customers which surprised me more.

I looked at Bryan with a confused expression and he seemed confused over my look.

“How are you so early?”  I asked him.

“Hello??? You mean why you’re so late? “ he fired back and I raised an eyebrow.

“Check your time “ he said and pointed at my wrist watch.

I was still confused so I dropped my bag on the credenza and raised up my wrist to look at the time.

My jaw dropped with no sound coming out and I kept my eyes fixed on the watch for quite a while.

I thought I woke up early so how the hell am I so late?

Caden didn’t miss his school bus so how?

I guess I spent so much time in the shower and  on the dinning table, thinking.

I looked up, hoping to see Bryan but he was no more there but serving customers.

When did he even pass me? God! What’s happening to me?

I sighed and took a seat in the kitchen.

This thing about my dad is really stressing me out.

I can’t stop thinking about it, I don’t even know if Caden really saw him for real or he’s just mistaking him for someone else.

“Amy?!” My name rang in my ear so loud I flinched .

“Is everything ok with you?” Bryan asked.

“Uhm yeah.....yeah” I replied.

“No, something is wrong “ he said and I sighed.

I got up and put on my apron to start my job.

“We are here for work so let’s get to that and make our customers happy “ I told him with a smile.

He went to take orders as usual and I started making their orders.

Half way through cooking, my phone rang and I immediately took it out to check who the caller was.

It was Luca so I just sighed and dropped my phone on the credenza.

I continued what I was doing but my phone wouldn’t stop ringing which was frustrating.

I angrily answered the call and replied with a “yes?”into the phone.

“Be here in a minute “ Luca said over the phone and hanged up.

The nerve! Seriously?!

Ugh 🤦‍♀️ .

I took off my apron, told Bryan where I was headed before leaving in a cab.

I arrived there and went up to his office.

He was looking out through the glasses in his office in a way that his back was all I could see.

“I’m here “ I told him.

I really don’t know what he wants but he better be fast with it cause I don’t feel comfortable being here.

He turned and he had a soft expression on his face when he saw me.

“Why do you have dark circles around your eyes? You didn’t sleep last night?” He asked and I sighed.

“Is this why I was called?” I fired back and he said nothing.

“Pardon me if I’m being rude but you just summoned me in middle of my business “ I told him.

“I understand “ he said and walked around his table over to me.

“Ok so, why are you avoiding me?” He blurted out.

“Am I?” I asked though I knew very well that avoiding him is what I’ve been doing.

“Oh please stop this, just tell me what I did wrong “ he said in a low tone as if begging.

“I really don’t know what you’re talking about but I got work to do so if you don’t mind, I’ll take my leave now “ I told him and turned to leave but he held my wrist.

Now he has the right to touch me?

“ Amy, I don’t know what I did but whatever it is that I’ve done, I apologize for it “ he said and my eyes started getting wet.

He’s sorry now? How could he even call me a hoe? Why would he do that?

My tears became uncontrollable in front of him so I just let it go, I busted out in tears.

“Oh Amy” he called in a soft voice and tried hugging me but I pushed him away.

“Don’t you dare touch me!”  I yelled at him.

“Why?” He asked.

Seriously? He’s asking me this? What I even hate more is when you make a mistake and keep asking what you did wrong. Didn’t it occur in that dumb brain of his what he did that could have hurt someone?

“You’re so stupid for asking me that! You called me a hoe! How could you call me that? Even that stupid Riley of yours can never be decent as I am and you dared call me a hoe huh?” I yelled at him amidst tears.

“No Amy, I ....“ 

“You what?!” I cut him short.

“What did you say the last time? That I hoe around with my cook? Is that why you said? Well, yeah! Those were your exact words but let me tell your Mr Devon, I’m not your hoes, I’m not your friends that hoe around you and just because you have me a resto and money doesn’t give you the fucking right to question my dignity “ I told him.

He tried talking all this while but I didn’t give him the space to. What more does he wanna say? Call me a stripper?

“Amy please listen to me” he pleaded but I stopped him with my right palm raised up at him.

“I don’t wanna hear it ok, I just don’t want you to call me anymore. I appreciate you for the help but please, don’t act like some god or something “ I snapped at him.

He wanted to talk but my phone rang.

I sniffed mad wiped my tears as I looked at my phone to know the caller.

I took deep breaths before answering the call from the hospital.

“Amy, your dad is here and in Cody’s ward” The doctor’s voice sounded over the phone and with those words being said, I felt paralyzed for a moment that I didn’t know when my phone fell off my hand.

“Are you alright? “ Luca asked and that brought me back to reality.

My dad is at the hospital and that too, im Cody’s ward?

He better not do anything to my baby  cause I’ll kill him this time.
