The Man Who Failed Me

PROLOGUE

It's been three hours that he is sitting in my bakery-cafe closely to the woman whom he came with. Gregory my four years old son is sitting on his dad lap playing with his tie.

He keeps staring at the woman and whispering something in her ear that makes her giggle and playfully hit his chest. He turned his head towards my direction probably feeling my burning stare on him. And when our eyes lock he gave me a mischievous smirk.

"She's special to me, someone who I care" I could hear them well as they were only 10feets apart from me.

I felt a pang in my heart as I hear those words come out of his mouth. He looks at her and smile, she smiles back. I grip the counter tightly.

Why does he affect me even after five years? Was once not enough to break me?

"Grey, do you like her?"

He asks my son.

"She makes amazing Tomato Butter Spaghetti that you like" he continued while looking at my son lovingly and looking back at her.

She was smiling widely showing her perfect white teeth. She's a beauty with the perfect figure like one of a model, amazing curves, her silky long gorgeous red hair matches with her fair skin.

What does he mean by asking that? Why will my son care about that? Is he hinting at something? Does he want my son to like and accept her..?

Wait..! Does he mean he wants her to mean something to my son?

My face is pale as I felt cold. My palms started to cold sweat. My breathing felt heavy and I found it hard to breathe. Everything suffocates me. I couldn't hear what they were saying.

I tried to breathe slowly calming my breathing. Then that's when I heard those words, something that makes my world collapse.

"I like her daddy. Will she make it for me every day?" Grey voice rang through me as he look up at his dad with a hopeful expression. Smiling brightly.

My world stops moving.
