Deadly Affairs

~FLASHBACK~

*One week ago*

Ryan was in his office. He sat in front of his computer and kept staring at it with a serious expression on his face.

He seemed really engrossed with whatever he was doing to the extent that if someone sees him like that, he or she would think that he was doing something important, well, until they take a look at this computer.

He was staring at an old picture of Natasha and Jason. Ever since he visited the Roberts’ house that day, he couldn’t get his mind off Natasha. He was very sure that she was the same girl he spent that night with at the club.

Even though six years had passed, he couldn’t get her off his mind. Everything he does made him think about her. How her lips curves slowly when she smiles, her sweet voice that makes him really hard, her touches that makes him hot all over and her beauty that enchanted him attracted his attention towards her.

No woman had ever made him feel that way before no matter how hard they tried but it took only one glance at her for him to fall head over heels in love with her.

It got to the extent that he started to think he was going crazy. He wanted to feel her again, to wake up and find her by his side. He wanted to hold her in his arms so bad that he finally decided to search for her.

But it was so difficult to find her because he only got her name and nothing else but he didn’t relent and kept on searching all over for her. Who would have known that right when he was about giving up, he finally found her.

It never crossed his mind that she would be this close. He was so happy when he had found her that he couldn’t contain his happiness. Even though she didn’t really seem happy to meet him, he didn’t care. All that matters is that he had found her again.

But then, he got the shock of his life when he found that she had a child. He wanted to ask her about it but decided not to because of the way she was treating him. Like he was a stranger but they both know that he was far from that.

After they left the Roberts’ home, Ryan couldn’t stop thinking, wondering if the child was a result of their love making that day. Though she was old enough to be, she wasn’t married since he found no ring on her hand and she was still living with her parents.

He still wasn’t sure because she could have had another man in her live at some point so he decided to have a back ground check on her, just to be sure.

He stared at the result in surprise. She was married when she came unto him that night. Knowing that made him feel somehow. Different thoughts started ringing in his head.

“Did she cheat on her husband with me?”

“Am I the first person she did that with?”

“Are there many others she had a one night start with apart from me?”

“Or were they in an open marriage??”

Just the thought of her sleeping with other men was enough to make him anyry but he shook off the thoughts from his head.

“There might have been something deeper between them that made her do such a thing.” He said to himself, trying to defend her actions.

He kept on reading the report till he got to the last part. He had an unreadable expression on his face.

“What type of idiot would cheat on a woman like her?” He wondered when he read how she barged into her husband having sex with his secretary.

The informat got the information from the co-workers since they  heard what was going on in the office due to the fact that Natasha was screaming at the top of her lungs.

He was about to close the file when something caught his eye. The date that she found her husband was cheating on her was the same day she went to the club and had an unforgettable one night stand with him.

He didn’t know if he should be happy or sad. If she hadn’t caught her husband cheating on her, he wouldn’t have met her at the club that day,

She might have been treating their encounter as a mistake, probably why she acted like she didn’t know him. It really hert him to think that she had already moved on but he still couldn’t forget about her after all these years.

He took a deep breath.

“Let’s not jump into conclusion.” He muttered as he tried to stop the bad thoughts from rushing in.

What he still wanted to know is if the child was his because it says in the file that they got separated one month after she caught him cheating. It made him wonder if the child was his or her ex husband’s.

The only way to find out was getting closer to her. Since he couldn’t focus at work anymore, he decided to head to the Roberts’ home to give her a visit and at the same time, see her daughter.

On his way there, he bought a basket filled with a variety of fruits since he couldn’t go there empty handed. Luckily, he net Melinda, Natasha’s mother at home. She invited him in after they had exchanged greetings.

She offered him a seat and they started talking about random stuffs. All through the conversation, he kept glancing at the front door, waiting for either Natasha or Molly to come in.

Natasha’s mother noticed his stares and released a small smile.

“Are you waiting for Natasha?” She asked.

Ryan smiled and brushed his hands into his hair in embarrassment. He had been caught.

“Was it that obvious?” He asked as he smiled shyly.

“Yes. You obviously didn’t come here to see me or my husband and you didn’t even bother to hide it.” She answered making him chuckle.

“You are right. I came here because of her. Isn’t she supposed to be back by now?” Ryan asked as he took a short glance at his wrist watch.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Sorry to say, you are about four days late because Tasha has already moved out into her new home and she took Molly with her.” Melinda answered.

“She moved out??” He asked in surprise.

“Was she trying to run away from me? If so, uhy is she going this far??” Ryan asked himself.

Seeing Ryan looking dejecteted, Melinda couldn’t help but feel for him. It was really obvious that he was smitten by Natasha. Well, who wouldn’t be?

She decided to help him out even though she knew that Natasha wouldn’t be happy with her decision.

“I am only doing this for her to forget about har past and actually move on.” She muttered, trying to convince herself before the faced Ryan.

“I can tell you where she lives now.” She said to Ryan.

“Really??” Ryan asked as the smile returned back to his face.

“Yes, as long as you won’t tell her that I gave you the address.” She said.

“I promise I won’t.” Ryan answered.

He couldn’t contain his joy when he stared at the address written on the piece of paper. He couldn’t wait to see her again but he had to do it wisely so she wouldn’t try to run away from him again.
