Chapter 18

He rolled his eyes then clear his throat. "Well, I'm taking Henrique now." I frown at him. "What do you mean take him?" "I mean exactly what I just said." He looked own in my grey eyes as I looked him in his light brown ones. "Where are you taking him?" I questioned. This was new for me. Every since I've been here Alexander didn't make a lot of contact with Henrique. Why did he want him now? "You don't have the authority to ask me that." I roll my eyes at his response. "I do have the authority to question you, I could be his mother." "But you aren't, are you? Or wait maybe you are. I can't tell. I wish I could see through your heart and tell if you're a big fat liar, but I can't and that's why we're going to do the DNA test tomorrow." I shake my head at his harsh words. "You know what! Go ahead take him after all, you can be lying too. You're acting as if Henrique is your father's child when he could be yours. He looked exactly like you, he doesn't have grey eyes like me or my sister. Maybe you just don't wanna accept that your mistress left. So, you find her identical twin and pin the baby on her." He shakes his head. "You're crazy. I probably need to set an appointment for the Psychiatrist for you because you are definitely insane. You probably forgot that Henrique is your child." "I'm not crazy and I'm not insane. Henrique isn't my child, I've never gotten pregnant before. You have to have sex to get pregnant and I haven't had sex so he's not mine." I shouted back at him. Henrique started to cry, I look beside me at the child. Looking back at his brother I said. "Look what you did! We were happy before you came and ruin everything." He rolled his head and bent to pick up the crying child. When Henrique was securely in his arms he started to walk in the direction of the house. He tried soothing the baby as he does so. As soon as he was out of sight, the tears decide to show themselves. I don't know what the hell was going on with my life. How the hell did I get here? I was happy three years ago. Why did everything change? Why couldn't I be as happy as I was three years ago? All because of Alliyah. Someone she just always makes the situation worse than it. Wiping my tears away with my left hand, I started thinking on his words. I'm not crazy and I was not insane. I was sick emotionally but not mentally. ......................................... Alexander didn't come back with Henrique until around 9 pm. I was reading on my bed when I heard heavy his footsteps passed my door. I also heard when he opened Henrique's door. I tried staying quiet until he heard him pass my door again. Sometimes I thank God that his room was on the other end of the mansion. The less association I had with him, the less likely I'd be able to get hurt by his mean words. Climbing off my bed, I walked to my door. I opened it slowly to avoid any noise. I didn't want to get caught by him, trying to avoid an awkward situation. I walked over to the room next door and gently push on the door. Henrique was laying fast asleep in his crib. I smiled and walked up to the crib. I rubbed my hand on his back. He looked so peaceful and beautiful. The question that kept bugging me is Why did Alliyah abandon her beautiful baby boy? I kiss the palm of my right hand and place it down on his head. "Sleep well, my baby." I close the door gently behind me and went back to my room. I got up off my sofa when I heard a knocking on my door. There was only one person who came knocking on my door and it was the famous Ms. Wilson. But when the door opened, looking at me was a new visitor. I raised my eyes brows as I looked in his light brown eyes. "Good to see you're awake." Why wouldn't I be? It's 9 am. "We'll be leaving here in thirty minutes." "I'm already ready." His gaze shifted to my clothes. He made a facial expression that I couldn't read then said. "Good, meet me downstairs in thirty minutes. Make sure you make some formula for Henrique so after the test he'll not be hungry." "Okay." "You should get something to eat as well." Like you care if I eat or not. "I've eaten already thanks." He nods his head then walked away. The drive back to the house was silent. The procedure was not as hard as I thought it would have been. There was no blood involved. All the doctor did was place a piece of cotton in my mouth and the same for Henrique. The doctor said that the test would only take 3-5 business days to get back. I couldn't wait to prove Alexander Carter how wrong he was about me. I was looking through the dark car windows when he started to pull over in a Popeyes. I turn to look over at him. "Lunch," he explains without looking at me. I was a bit shock at his words, he didn't seem like the person who would eat junk food. He didn't even look like he would even enter a business like this. Just by looking at him, you could tell the man was filthy rich, from the way he dressed to the way he walked and how he did his hair. He pulled into a parking place close to the entrance. He undid his seatbelt and opened his door, so I did the same. He opened the back door and undid the locks on the baby seat. When he was down he took Henrique out and hold him against his chest.
