Blindsided

HANNAH’S POV:

I couldn’t risk it, and the way they were procreated was enough reason to not bring him into their lives. He didn’t deserve them, and my babies didn’t deserve a wretched spoiled drunk as a father.

Soon my assistant called me, reminding me of an important meeting that couldn’t be rescheduled, so I dashed out after ensuring the kids were in their rooms, comfortably napping.

Lucky children…I can’t remember the last time I napped. I laughed at my thought.

I arrived at the office and I was there throughout the rest of the day, working and reviewing a bunch of documents, and avoiding any interaction with both Maya and Lucas though Maya was just as surprised as I was.

“I’m leaving now. And girl, I’m totally sorry. I had no idea Elijah was going to be there today and it was his/ company. I should have been more thorough.” Maya apologized, stepping into my office and I nodded at her.

“It’s alright. Have a nice night.” I smiled at her and she embraced me warmly before exiting out my office.

Soon I was done as well, so I rose to my feet and carried my bag, and just then Lucas walked in. 1

“Come on, let’s go home.” He said and I paused realizing my driver had gone on another errand. I huffed and got in the car with him:

The city lights blurred against the tinted windows of the car as we drove home. I stared out in silence, my chest rising and falling with each shaky breath I forced myself to take. Lucas sat beside me, his hand resting on his knee, fingers tapping restlessly. Neither of us spoke the entire ride.

By the time we got back to the house, the silence had turned suffocating.

I walked in, tossing my bag on the couch and kicking off my heels with more force than necessary. Lucas shut the door behind him, his jaw tight.

“You’re not going to say anything?” I asked finally, spinning to face him. My voice cracked, sharper than I intended.

He loosened his tie but didn’t answer right away. Instead, he sank into one of the armchairs, looking at me like I was some wild storm he couldn’t control.

“You should have told me.” My voice shook, but I held his gaze. “You knew, Lucas. You knew Elijah was going to be there, and you didn’t say a damn word. Do you have any idea how humiliating that was?”
