Chapter 59: Chapter 59

Samantha's POV.

I cannot believe it happened again, he was so sweet, so manly, so warm, so......

my thought was distracted by the knock on my office door. I frowned at the intruder, but then, looking at him with a wounded face, my looks changed.

"Oh my goodness! Maxwell, are you okay? I asked, moving close to him, but he shrugged me away.

"Samantha, you are begining to get me really angry, you cannot go around telling all the men in your life, that I am the father of your child? His voice was loud, I tried to plead with him to keep it low, but he wouldn't listen, knowing that Edward was just by the corner.

Are you that loose that you don't know who is responsible for your unborn child? He added. I refused to be angry, I know he is is hurt, and I am the one at fault, so I pleaded.

"Please Max, I am so sorry, I promise, it will never happen again". I told him, thinking that would make him just go away, but it didn't, instead he got even more furious.

"Now look at what he did to me last night, because I was with another woman". I wanted to tell him that even I was angry that he could do that, but when he told me the reason he did that, I knew it was because he cares about me.

"Look Max, I am very sorry, I will not mention your name ever again". I said and he walked away. I released a sigh of relief, especially since I didn't see Edward come in, with all that noise. I gathered his report and took it to his office, but he wasn't there. I found something on his table, after I dropped the prepared report, it was the label from my dress, I became worried that he had found out already that I lied to him about being sick, I was still thinking of what to do about the label, when he walked back in. I quickly took the label, and hid it behind me.

"I went to get you some fruits". He says, and dropped a basket of fruit on his table. You have been working, you could have your lunch on my table, and it will be all fruits. There is no way, you will take junk, on my watch". He added. I thought he probably haven't found out anything, so I decided to slide the label away, so that he doesn't even remember it. I sat down to eat, the red apple is my favorite, so I ate heartily, while he tries professing love to me.

"Do you remember, when it was just us? and Whitney haven't come by then? He asked and I smile.

"Yes, I do". I said simply, while he had this broad and sincere smile on his face.

"That time, we were so happy, and you,.. you smile all the time, you always wanted to kiss me in public, to tell the world that I belonged to you". I remember, and it got me angry, because he would always tell me to stop acting like a slut, but I didn't want to say it, I just wanted him to be done, look away, so I could carefully hide the label in my left hand, but then, he added, and that is what I would have said, if I wanted to add to what he was saying.

But I was so stupid, I kept pushing you away, till I finally pushed you away, and now I want you back". He sounded like he would break down.

"Ed, I am sorry how things went between us, but I guess, it is for the best. I would like to remind you, that I am pregnant with another man's child. It is hard enough being a single mum, I don't want to add to my worries". I said and got up to leave, when I heard his voice again.

" You don't have to be a single mum, we could be a family again. I don't care about the father of the baby, I care about you, and I will love you and the baby sincerely".

"You don't care about the father of the baby, but I do! I retorted. Then he asked calmly.

"Do you love the father of the baby? He had asked me this same question before and I have told him as many times as he has asked, that I love him, but now, he was asking me, I don't know what he wants to hear from me.

"You have asked me before, why ask again? I asked.

"Are you really telling me that you are inlove with the man in the other office, who doesn't even care, if you are well or not, who goes about with a Blondie around town, making sure that the world knows that he isn't together with you? He asked. I didn't want to continue in the lie, so I had to come out clean, I walked back inside, took my seat back, looked into his eyes and swallowed hard before speaking up. It is a moment of truth, and it is always hard to speak the truth, especially, if all you have been doing is tell lies. I also cannot lie that Maxwell is the father, not after promising him in my office a while ago, that I will never repeat the same mistake.

"I am sorry I lied to you about the father of my baby, but Maxwell isn't the father". I said and I expected him to look shock, but his expression didn't change, he just nodded.

"I know Sam, I know he isn't the father, I was just waiting for you, to tell me the truth, and now that you have come out clean, thank you". He says. I get the feeling that he didn't want me to mention the name of the person, but I still have to, so he doesn't get any funny ideas.

"Craig Anderson is the father". He also didn't look so shocked, but he had to remind me of five years ago.

"So it is true. All the accusations were true, because if they weren't, you wouldn't have done that same thing you were accused of. You were under my roof, having sex with your student?

"I never had sex with him all those years, it happened while living with him". I defended, but he shook his head in disagreement.

"I am your husband, we have a child together, I am willing to fix everything now, I want you please". For the first time, I could see that he was sincere, but his pleas, are coming too late.

"What do you want to fix Ed, I love him, and I wish I never met him again after been exiled from the world, I wish he never saved me from you. Months ago, you would have killed me, but now, you claim you love me? I got up and walked towards the door, then before turning the door knob I told him.

I am sorry, but I don't believe you. I don't see or feel the love. I never did, not when we were together as man and wife, not when we had our baby, not ever. I don't have a happy memory of you and I. All I remember is you hurting me.

I was pregnant with Whitney.......

I paused, contemplating if I should say it or not. It is a secret I have kept hidden for so long. I guess he doesn't know, that I was aware, but I now seem to be the moment of truth, so I decided to say it.

When I was pregnant with Whitney you slept with our neighbour's wife, your best friend's wife. Just imagine, if Joe, were to find out now that you are the reason, his wife left him!

He opened his mouth wide, and he didn't close it, until I got up from my seat and left his office.
