Daddy’s Hot Sauce

Anders went out of the room and let Emily breathe. He understood the situation, especially her case ’cause he knew that it was their baby which was gone and even though he had a lot of money he could not bring it back. He let his tears crawl on his cheeks as it was the sign of his sadness.

He might look tough but deep within he was just like others who cared much for others most especially to their love ones..

“Hey, bro how’s Emily?” Dave asked from behind.

Anders deep sighs before he could face his friend and this time it was obvious to them that he was crying, not only for himself but also for his lost son and Emily who was being alone right now.

“Anders, please don’t give up on my friend. She’s just blaming herself all the time. She just needs your understanding now.” Jane said and tapped his shoulders.

Anders could not even imagined himself being like this because before all he kept doing was being with a chick and drunk all night but since Emily came to his life everything has changed and that made him unconsciously changed© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Jane and Dave were sitting on the bench while Anders was still leaning on the wall as he was trying to listen to Emily from behind and for a moment he could not hear anything. He let out a deep sigh and tried to check Emily in the room.

He walked toward her and sat beside her bed. She saw Emily was peacefully sleeping. He wanted to touch her and hugged her for her comfort but he was frightened to be pushed away by Emily. Another heavy sigh was making him feel the guilt of not being on her side in the rough times.

“I will stay here with you, Emily.” he whispered and glanced at her beauty.

“Our angel is watching us and don’t worry ’cause he’ll surely guide us.” he continued and wiped the tears from his cheeks while staring at Emily.

“Rest for now, babe. I’m sure time will come for us to have a baby but for now, please let me take care of you.”

Anders smiled while he was staring at her and promised to himself that he would take care of her no matter what happened.

Then his phone vibrated while staring at Emily, it was an unknown number so he didn’t answer it. But after a few seconds his phone vibrated and he felt annoyed by it, so he unconsciously answered it.

“So, are you enjoying being with her now?”

A familiar voice he heard from the other line made him frowned. “What do you want?” he stood up and walked toward the window.

“You know what I want. I am here at the casino and my funds ran out so, fetch me here before these men put me in jail.”

The tone of the voice was demanding as always because Mia loves to go to the Casino. That’s why all the money that Anders was sending to her went away because of it. So, when he found out about it he stopped sending the money for his son ’cause he knew it wasn’t going for his son.

“Will you stop making excuses?! I’m done with you and all of your sh*t!” he said emphatically but he needed to lower down the tone of his voice ’cause Emily was just right behind him asleep.

“If you don’t show up here, I will tell the world about your son and us. I’ll make sure that you’ll never get away with all the evidence I have, remember that! So, do as I say and we will have a peaceful life together.”

The line was cut and Anders was clenching his fist while staring at the window. He needed to protect his son and the image of his company. He knew Mia could do such stupid things, so he grabbed his coat and was in a hurry to leave the room when Jane suddenly appeared at the door.

“Woah! Easy Anders” she said and made sure the tray was in balance. “Hey! Emily might be awake very soon, you better stay here!” she shouted at Anders who was running in the hallways.

“She needs you, ” Jane whispered as she saw him running through the hallways.

“Stay here, hon. I’ll handle Anders. Remember you have to make Emily calm as she wakes up, alright?” Dave said while cupping her face and gently kissed her lips.

Dave followed his friend and fortunately Anders was about to shut the door of the elevator when Dave stopped it by using his hand. HE was panting and entered the elevator.

“What’s wrong with you?” Dave asked and crossed both of his arms while staring at the door of the elevator.

Anders let out a heavy sigh and answered, “Mia is here.”

“What?! So, you mean your son is here too?” Dave widened his eyes by what he said and faced him.

“Yeah they’re here.” Anders shook his head as he remembered his child with George; his assistant.

“You’re in trouble again.” Dave emphatically said and took a deep breath. “I know you’re still mixing up things in your head but please don’t ignore Emily, she just needs you right now.”

“I know, bro that’s why I’m doing this for us. For the peacefulness of each and every one.” Anders explained to Dave and brushed off his hair.

Dave faced him with his worriedly face and said, “How? Revenge like this? Doing in favour to Mia? Bro trust me, Emily needs you more than Mia right now. She just.. I mean you both lose your child so might as well toi be on each other side and healed together.”

Anders didn’t say anything and just stepped out to the elevator after it opened on parking area. He walked straight to his luxury car and didn’t mind about the advice of his friend. He knew what to do and for him this is the best way to do.

The solution to his problem that he just needed to put out so, Emily and him could live a peaceful life without Mia, because she was just trying hard to be part of the picture.

“I’m sorry Emily. Please, bear with me and I’ll just fixed this mess that I had from the past years. All I have to do was to finish everything with Mia.”

Anders has been a risk taker and this time it was frightened for him to risk something especially if it’s related to Emily. He would not lose her and would not want to make her feel hurt once again because it would be too mu8ch for her and he didn’t want it that way.

Glimpse of the Past

Anders was at the most luxurious hotel in the metro. Lights were blinding each and every one and the music that was bringing the mood of every guest of the hotel. He was just sitting at the couch with the brandy on his hand.

“Aren’t we going to your room?” a seductive tone of voice from a woman was whispering through his ears. She crawled her hands to his arms and wrapped it on it as she was trying to make him feel the curves of her body.

The spirit of liquor was running through his head and automatically the heat was on him. He felt it and could not even refused it, his hand grabbed tightly on her waist. His lips was brushing on her lips made it more intense for the both of them.

“You’ve never changed, Anders Winston.” she softly whispered then locked her arms on his neck.

But, since the people were being wild at this moment. While Anders were enjoying the night a woman suddenly caught his attention and so as some other people there.

“S- sorry to interrupt you.. I- I just… Yeah! Woah!” the woman screamed while was lying on the ground with her skirt was quite revealing his perfectly thighs.

Although, the woman was wearing a mask, it’s obvious that she’s beautiful and because she’s drunk, Anders took a chance to it and let go of Mia who was being pissed off by his act.

“Oh my goodness! Just let her go and she’s just a cheap woman out there.” she was annoyed by it as she was being ignored by him.

“Here,” Anders handed his hanky to the woman and suddenly the mask fell off and made it revealed the appearance of the woman that pinned his eyes.

“Thanks, sorry for interrupting you, Mister,” she said and tried to stand up even though it was obvious enough that

A voice that made him feel into his system that made his eyes be amazed by what he was seeing right now. Anders held her arm to help her get up but the woman refused his help and put back her mask. He wanted to stop her from walking away but he was being muted by the moment he saw his beauty that made him curious about the identity of the woman.

“Go home!” an authoritative tone of his voice was echoing on Mia’s mind as he turned around and walked away.

“What the F*ck Anders Winston?!” she went to him and didn’t want to be just dumped by him. “Are you just going to ignore me for that b*tch?!”

Anders stopped and faced Mia. “Are you even hearing yourself? B*tch? to that woman? You have no idea!” he exclaimed at her and pushed her away.

“Whatever! I told you what I need here and think about it ’cause I will not just wait for you. Your son needs you.” she crossed her arms in front of him and raised her brows.

Ander didn’t say any words instead he turned his back and focused on finding the identity of the woman he met a while ago. He grinned and called his assistant to dig in for some more information about the woman and after just an hour of waiting he was now waiting at his office and reading the papers in front of him as George was just standing in front of him.

“Call her parents and let me do the talk with them.”

George just nodded his head and silently walked outside the room while Anders was grinning her teeth and thinking about his plans.
