It's been 3 years since I left and went to different places. It was hard for me. I was three months pregnant that time and I couldn't even imagine what would be like to live without Jayden.
I couldn't count the number of times I wanted to go back to him but it was the same as the number of times I tried not to.
It's hard for a 17 year old girl to carry a child without any support from her fiance. I don't know how many times I cried because I missed Jayden. I know he was looking for me so I lived in different places so he wouldn't find me.
I didn't go back to Flousia because I know it will the first place he will search for me. I didn't contact grandfather or Kyle after I left. I cut off all my communications with my friends. I threw my phone in the river, bought a new one and changed my number.
I gave birth to a healthy baby boy in a small clinic in Paris. The only person who was with me from all those years was Missy. She was with me on the day I found out something about my father, Matthew Forelli. I tried to look for him in Flousia but he wasn't in the country.
I flew to Paris and lived there until I gave birth and moved to Hong Kong after. Now, we are currently in Australia and have been staying here for almost two months. Next week, we will be moving to another country.
"Mommy!" A little voice called me.
It was my son Caden. He was now 3 years old and everyday he was starting to look like Jayden.
"Oh hi sweetie, what is it?" I asked while putting him on my lap.
He was holding a piece of paper with a drawing on it.
"I drew Mommy, Caden and Daddy." He said.
I was speechless. I've never denied him about Jayden. I always tell him about his father. I told him he was in a faraway place and we couldn't see him. But then, he started drawing pictures of him. I knew he wanted to see him. If only I could bring him to his father.
After we graduated, Kyle came home and was reunited with Emily. Luke and Alora got married after 2 months. Jayden and I were supposed to get married after but I left. I couldn't tell him the reason. I know it will break him and he might get in danger again. I couldn't allow that so the best way I knew that time, was to leave him.
"Why don't you go to your room and draw some more? Mommy will prepare dinner." I said softly while kissing him in the forehead.
Missy walked towards me.
"I didn't say a word about what you did 3 years ago, I kept quiet. But don't you think it's better to talk to Jayden about this? For Caden's sake?" She said.
I took a deep breath and looked at her.
"I'm sorry for dragging you into this. But my decision is final. I don't want to see him suffer because of me." I answered.
She shook her head and went to Caden's room.
I heard the doorbell and rushed towards the door. I was expecting a delivery anyway so I thought it was the delivery guy so I opened the door without looking who it was.
"Thank you for delivering my -" My eyes widened when I saw who it was.
"Jayden!" I looked at him and he was just staring at me.
God! I missed him. He was still good looking. His hair was longer now. His gray eyes, pointed nose and red lips. He got taller I think. He was more like a man now.
"Are you not going to let me in? Or are you planning to run away from me again?" He said in a serious tone.
"C-Come in." I said.
He walked inside and looked around the house.
"I won't ask why or what happened. I will wait until you tell me." He said.
"I won't come back." I answered.
"Are you going to be like this forever? Hiding and running from me? How could you do this to me?" I can sense the bitterness from his words.
"If that's the only way for me to get away from you then yes!" I said firmly.
He walked towards me and grabbed my arms.
"Why? Did I do something wrong?" He asked.
It hurts to see him like this. I wanted to wrap my arms around him and tell him I missed him so much. But I couldn't. The moment he finds out the truth, he will despise me.
"Answer me Margaret!" He yelled.
"Mommy?" Oh shoot. I forgot Caden was here.
Jayden looked down to see who it was. His face softened. He looked at me then back to Caden.
Then Caden suddenly smiled and ran towards Jayden.
"Daddy!" He shouted.
Jayden froze. He was just staring at the boy who was running towards him. Then he kneeled down and opened his arms for Caden.
I wanted to cry when Caden jumped to his father's arms.
"What took you so long? I was waiting for you." He said, while he wrapped his arms around his father.
"I'm sorry, daddy's late. I'm here now." Jayden answered while hugging Caden back.
He glared at me and I know he's mad for hiding his son from him.
"Are you going to live with us from now on, daddy?" Caden blurted.
Before I answer, Jayden glared at me again as if telling me to shut up.
"Yes. We'll go home." He said.
"Caden can you go to your room first with Aunt Missy?" I asked.
Caden smiled and nodded. He kissed Jayden on the cheek and ran towards his room.
"Jayden, I won't come home. I can't."
"If you won't, I will do everything to take my son from you." He said while giving me a cold stare.
"You can't do this to me!"
"Believe me I can! I'll make sure to get Caden's custody and you will never see him again. You left without even telling me the reason. You have denied me my son and you denied him a father. How could you? Until now, you won't even tell me why." His voice was full of anger.
I didn't say a word. All his words were true but I did it for him. I don't want him to get hurt.
"T-There's someone else!" It suddenly came out from my mouth.
