chapter 41

Aaron's POV

Today I decided to switch companies and work at my mom's cause right now I'd like to know. Why didn't mom tell us about Amoya's father? Plus I want to see this man who was my sister's dad and if he's anything like my dad, well, hell has a residence for everyone right?

I smiled at the department manager who was being a boot licker of course I am the boss's kid after all,

"Ehem! Everyone I'd like your undivided attention" she said with volume

The employees looked up at us, "this here is Aaron Ambridge. He'll be working with us part time starting today"

They all looked at me surprised then I casually walked from the manager, "please take 'good' care of him"

What am I a fucking toddler? I rolled my eyes and immediately turned on the computer I maybe a typical privileged rich kid but I had work even though I didn't have to it, it's just that I didn't work hard and was those laid back type but I did do some work so I of course knew how to at least work for something.

"Hey, excuse me"

I looked up to see the office jockey, tall nice built I guess, I looked at his I'D collar Layhe, Bruce Layhe.

"May I help you?"

He flashed me those pearly whites as he proceeded to move his mouth. "Hello I'm Bruce Layhe, I'm a senior in this department so I was wondering if you need any help you could talk to me"

I am literally looking at his badge, of course I know his name is Bruce but if he is trying to be nice I will be nice as well.

"Okay senior Layhe"

"Or Bruce" he chuckled

"Mr. Layhe"

I can feel the awkwardness in the air but I didn't care what I came for was not for friends. I turned back to my computer as I open it and started doing what's needed to be done, this was such a boring day for me.

Soon the 12 noon struck and the bell went off signalling lunch great cause I was starving, mentioning lunch I miss Nick's cooking or just simply having lunch with Nick. Walking out I noticed some of the females and more petite Male like myself fluttering eyes and looking at the two members talking at the water dispenser one was Bruce the other was an attractive person more leat to feminine but she rocked that suit amazingly I must admit. Not to mention that wild ponytail, I'd tapped that even if I had my preferences.

I'm thirsty though why at the water dispenser of all places, I soon heard the whispers of the others. "They look really good together"

"But isn't Freja dating someone?"

(A/n: changed it from Freya to Freja, liked Freja better it was what I planned for first but Freyja still pronounced Freyja so I didn't know how to spell Freja until I just thought to remove the y and looked up the pronunciation)

"Really since when?"

"I heard since around a mouth ago"

"Talk about a mysterious person, it's ashame though she and Bruce look made for each other"

A popular opinion that seems unpopular to me, I don't think they look like a good match. One is giving wild free mommy free vibes while the other is giving me Michael, I will never trust another Mr. I am nice and flawless vibes. Wolf in sheep's clothing, I have trust issues.

"Do you mind if I borrow the water dispenser?" I asked flatly

"Oh, right sure" Bruce said moving

I took a clean plastic cup then poured myself water. I can feel both person staring at me I stand up straight and stared at them. "Let me guess you never someone tell you your blocking them." I said sarcastically

"No, not really but that's not reason I'm staring" he jokes at least I think

"Sorry kid" she said

I hate when the call me that I really wish they stop, but only a kid throws a tantrum at being called at kid.

"Aaron Ambridge"

I looked at the door to see my lovely sister.

"Yes?"

"The CEO would like to see you sir" she said formally

Amoya was very tight lipped with her private life so she didn't make it clear on what her relationship with our mom was like, she also said that employees thinks she has some kind of dirty relationship with mom which must be hard for not to gag every day of her life. I on the other hand could never, before I could leave I saw this Freja person checking my sister out I glared at her. She looked at me surprised then suspiciously great I think I will not like this person, I then hugged my big sister around the arms and smiled at her.

"So what your having for lunch today"

"Food" she answered looking at me suspiciously

"Can we share?" I smirk

"Yes we can" she pinched cheeks smiling

I frowned then she chuckled, "you look like a grumpy cat when you frown"

"Hmph! Whatever! By the way that person was totally eyeing you" I said pointing at Freja person who was staring at us with jealousy written eyes

"Oh"

Amoya looked at her smiling, oh? What oh? Wait a minute.

"That's your girlfriend?" I asked a bit amused

"Yeah, Freja that Freja Bailey"

I looked at her and casually smile while waving sister in law will not like me this time around but I blame my sis on that part.

Johan's POV

I packed the papers neatly that was handed to me by Sebastian, he was staring at me. Why? Honestly why is he even here at this work?

Amoya he came back for Amoya and fact that it was because Corey is already enough reason not to trust him on a basic level.

"You can go now" I said calmly

"Johan I'd like to talk sometimes, tell me more about Amoya" he said folding his brows

"I'll send you a copy of photo albums videos and so on if you want to know"

"Also about how you were doing"

I hate him, honestly speaking. I don't want to see him talking to him sickens me. "Is that all? If so please leave"

He sighed frustrated, it's hard looking at his face each day it's draining. As he walked to the door and open it Aaron walked through, I quickly got up my seat to hug him but he slapped away my arms.

"Don't hug me" he said with an angry tone

I looked at Sebastian who was still at door, "leave" I coldly said

He walked out closing the door behind

"Oh, so you have balls to tell him to go but you can't tell the cheating bastard to go!" He almost yelled

"Aaron listen it's not that easy"

"Divorce papers court you have money! Gather evidence he can pay you child support and alimony. Sue! How miserable did he made you" he said

"But I'm not miserable Aaron" I said

I'm honestly not miserable, he doesn't touch me he doesn't come near me he doesn't hit me, I know it's hard for them to see him and not be angry and frustrated but if I leave God knows what will happen.

"Your so fu- God!! You infuriate me!"

"Listen Aaron, if I divorce him I lose literally everything" I told him, I could feel my heartbeat quickening

"How can you lose everything?! You own literally own every fucking thing?!" He yelled

"Al-"

The words didn't come out, I couldn't say his name. I can't say his name I'm most valuable when I'm with them, I hate that I can't be a strong independent mother who they can lean on I'm an emotional train wreck and I can't even communicate with my own kids and when I can tell the truth I'm percieved as a liar.

I just want to live my life out doing the best I can with them, I'm scared that when I go outside that he will just popped behind me kidnapped. I ruined my kids life and there is nothing I can do about it.

Aaron then glared at me, "then why didn't you just tell us about Amoya"

"I didn't know where he was or that he would ever come back I thought it was better off-"

"But she still needed to know" he told me, "how do you think she felt finding out from your prized bitch?" He said

"......"

I should have never let it come to that, I should just tell them. But will they believe me? Will they?

When sebastian left I received no goodbyes or a hint that he was leaving he was up and gone without a trace, the only reason I had a hunch on what took place was because of friend who in turn was forced to leave as a parent a teenage dropout he had nothing. The only who stayed consistent was Amoya and the man who made living a hell for me.

Will they believe me?

Why do I stay?

Do I have a choice?

Leave all my hardwork go down the grain have my children used as weapon against me.

"Aaron I-"

Before I could say what I could my phone rang. He looked at me, "might as well answer it" he said

I answered.

"Is this Johan Ambridge?"

"Yes"

"I'm sorry to report sir/ma'am but we like to report 3:05 your husband Joseph Ambridge passed away in a car accident"

I dropped my phone
