Maid Of Seduction novel Chapter 21

"Antonio! She hit me first!" She defended.

"What are you, a high-schooler? If I hadn't walked in on the two of you, you might of strangled her to death!"

"I wouldn't of."

"Can I believe that when you had your hands wrapped around her throat! She's defenseless and you were causing her more injuries."

"Antonio..."

"Just stop it! Sometimes I really wonder if you're with me because of love or you're just here because of the life I could provide for you!

Anna is pregnant! Don't you get that? She's pregnant with my baby and you're not so don't you ever put your hands on her again."

"So I was just supposed to stand there and take her slap?"

"I saw you slapped her before and she never lash back."

"I don't know how longer I could keep up with this Antonio! I agreed to let her move in so someone could keep eyes on her and I wanted to stand by you through this.

You cheated on me with a maid and I'm still trying to stand by you but you don't want me to."

Melissa was crying now. I felt like the world's biggest asshole for lashing out like that again. Something had came over me when I saw Anna's eyes rolled to the back of her head and Melissa's hands wrapped around her throat.

I snapped.

"Look, if you want to leave Melissa, I wouldn't stop you anymore. I'll understand."

She shook her head and looked heavenward. She exhaled heavily and wiped her eyes before looking over at me.

"Do you have feelings for her Antonio?" She mumbled but I heard her clearly.

"I'm not going to lie to you. I do have some feelings for her despite the baby."

"Do you see yourself being with her or me?"

"Melissa, of course I see myself being with you. You're my wife."

"Lets forget about marriage for once because you're not behaving like a husband. Do you want to be with her or me?"

It was a dreadful question. The question I don't have an exact answer for because of the confusion between my heart and my head.

"I don't know." That was my answer and it was as if I had pulled Melissa's heart out of her chest.

She smiled. Not the golden smile but the smile women does when they've finally discovered the truth about someone.

"That's all I needed to hear." She said. "That's all I needed to hear."

"Mel, just please give me some time to get my head on straight. I don't want to give up on our marriage."

I quickly dodged when she threw a vase at my head.

"What fucking marriage, Antonio? Huh?

A marriage where you're not committed to one woman and can't fight an easy temptation of a lowlife maid? 

A marriage where you'd rather pick sides than stand by your wife's?"

"That's not what I want anymore Antonio. I tired, I really did tried BUT I CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE!"

"I'm sorry." Nothing better came to my mind and the guilt made me feel terrible.

"I can't tear a mother away from her child."

"You shouldn't care about that Antonio! That maid isn't a Kissle! If you don't fix your marriage and your household, I'll fix it for you and at that, I'll take the company away from you because you're unfit to run the company!"

I had heard enough. I wheeled myself towards them.

"Anna..." Antonio began as he turned around and saw me but I regretted wheeling myself in the middle of the conversation when I saw Antonio's father face.

Tears poured down and the memories came flashing back like a rolling cinema movie.

Antonio's father was my abusive stepfather.

Anna's POV

"Anna, are you alright? Are you in pain?" I heard Antonio's faint voice echoed in my head as it spun faster and faster.

That son of a bitch!

There's only one explanation to this! 

He was living a double life with my mother!

"Anna?" Antonio shook my shoulder gently.

"I'm fine." I answered once I had stopped thinking about it and fearing the man who made my life a living nightmare in my teen.

"Dad, this is Anna Wells. The former maid who's pregnant with my baby. Anna, this is my father."

"I'm aware." I patched out and locked eyes with his.
