CHAAPTER THIRTY THREE
MIA’S POV
While I was surfing through the internet, I saw a message from a strange number.
The message was: “I have your sex tape. Don’t think you can hide forever. I’m going to release the video online tomorrow by 12:00 pm. If only you can do what I say, then I might consider you, and I will not release it.”
I was shocked. A sex tape? The person said I’m not the type of lady that sleeps around. If the person thinks he/she can get me with this little thing, it is not possible. I’m not going to fall for this.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
Alex is the person that deflowered me, and I haven’t slept with any other person apart from Alex, so I just ignored the message and continued with what I was doing.
ALEX POV
Hello, Mr. Ian,” my private investigator said.
“Yes? Any information?” I asked.
“Yes, sir. Miss Ella and her husband got divorced seven months ago,” The Private Investigator told me.
“What caused the divorce?” I asked.
“What I researched is that she was cheating on him, and her son isn’t for her ex-husband,” he said.
When he dropped the bomb, my head turned. “Her ex-husband isn’t the father of the child?” I asked again.
“Yes, sir,” he replied.
“Okay, thank you,” I said.
If the child isn’t his, that means the child is either mine, or she cheated on her husband when they were together. After hanging up, I was so determined to do a DNA test to be sure if the child is mine.
ONE MONTH LATER
I was in my office working on a particular project when my PA, George, informed me that someone is here to see me. “She has been causing a problem, and she does have an appointment with you,” he said.
“Who is that? What is her name?” I said.
“Miss Ella, sir,” he said.
“Let her in,” I said. “What the fuck is she looking for in my office? Isn’t the mansion enough for her?” She walked into my office like the slut she is.
“Lexy, can you imagine how your staff were so rude to me? You didn’t teach them customer service. They need to learn well because if I become their boss’s wife, I’m gonna show them what I’m made of,” she said.
I just looked at her and shook my head. She should keep daydreaming. Because I haven’t made any attempts, doesn’t mean I don’t know the truth now. I just want to stall her a little to see her next move.
“So, what do you want? Why are you in my company?” I asked.
“I just wanted to greet you because I miss you. When you are at home, you don’t have my time. You act like I don’t exist. You are only focused on your child and your baby mama. You didn’t even bother to bond with Ethan, and that is unfair,” she said, giving a pitiful face, which I wasn’t moved by.
“I am also bored at home. No one talks to me or hangs out with me, so I’m here to hang out with you.” She concluded.
“Do you know this is a company and not a location for hanging out?” I informed her.
“I know, right. We can go out for lunch. I know a nice location not too far from here,” Ella said.
“I’m not interested, and you can see I’m very busy,” I answered.
“Okay, since you say you are not interested and you are so busy, I will leave you with your work and head out for lunch myself,” she said.
I just hummed, and she walked out of my office, not without shaking her ass.
When I came back from work, Mia told me about a particular message saying someone wants to release her sex tape, and I asked her some questions, which she did tell me the truth. Mia is not someone who sleeps around or goes out, so I kind of trust her that she can’t do something like that.
I’m even thinking of taking this relationship to the final stage. I want to get to know Mia better and create a little bond, not love her because I don’t do love anymore. It’s just because of Bryan. It won’t be easy on me if we both treat each other like strangers if our kid grows up and doesn’t feel the love of both parents. I don’t want what happened to me to happen to my kid, too. I want them to feel all the love they can ever have.
Time continued to pass, and the threat of the sex tape message seemed to vanish into the background because we didn’t know who sent the message, and the person never sent another message after that particular one. We never found out who sent it.
Ella, my ex-girlfriend, has become a constant pressure in my life, and it doesn’t look like she is relenting from it anytime soon.
She seemed determined to cause a fight between Mia and I, using her son Ethan as a pawn in her game.
I couldn’t help but feel a mix of emotions towards Ella. We had history together, agreed, but she had affected my family enough..
One evening, as Mia and I sat in our room with Bryan, we decided it was time to address Ella’s issue. It was getting out of hand. She is always looking for a way to frustrate Mia, and I didn’t like that.
I already knew the truth about her son, if she thinks I don’t, but I’m waiting for her to do what is right for her before it is too late. I don’t want to affect her innocent son’s future because he knows nothing and understands nothing about what his mum is doing. We had to take action to protect our family and ensure Ethan’s well being.
“Ella,” I began, trying to be calm, “we need to have a serious conversation about Ethan.”
Ella’s reaction was filled with fear. Still, she nodded reluctantly.
“So, what do you want to talk about, Alex?” Ella asked.
“Actually, my wife and I are the ones that want to talk to you,” I said.
“WIFE, you say?” Ella laughed.
“Where is your ring? You are both deceiving yourselves. Let her watch how I’m gonna win your heart,” she said.
“You don’t have a space in my heart, Ella. That was before when I was so foolish not to see your true character. So don’t give yourself high hopes,” I said.
We arranged a meeting at my office. Mia and I sat across from Ella. Everywhere was silent, with tension in the air
