Chapter 52
“You’re going to stop your work baby. You’re going to live with me.”Andrius said emphatically as he kissed Anya’s neck down to her back. The two were inside the bathtub and both naked. Their bodies were soaking with water and bubbles scattered inside.
“What are you saying? I needed to work. I have tons of school work to do. It is not possible when you say I will stop at something I will follow you!”
Anya deprived herself of him when he suddenly squeezed her seat. Andrius also gently soaped her chest with one of his hands. Anya closed her eyes because of the sensation he brought to her.
“We’re going back to the Metro. So stop your argument,”Andrius whispered in her ear.
“How about Arruba? W-what if-“Anya said, confused. She looked at Andrius and looked up slightly. Her eyes were uncertain. She was still afraid of what the woman could do to them. The woman was influential and could turn everyone around with her money.
“She’s nothing, baby. She won’t do any harm to you. She’s been gone for a long time,”Andrius said. His voice was full of assurance.
Anya leaned on Andrius’chest. She let herself feel and be drowned to him again, while Andrius hands were also busy feeling her nakedness.
“Please Anya. I need you in my life. I need you to come back with me.”Andrius was already pleading.
Anya nodded to Andrius. She would let him decide and trust him fully this time. From what happened to them earlier, she completely surrendered herself to him.”Okay,”she answered.
Why would she prolong her agony?
She became insensitive for the last five years of her life. She never trusted Andrius enough that made her leave him. But this time, she won’t let it happen again. She would surrender her all to Andrius because she knew she would never let her go.
When the two were finished, they went out of the bathroom together. Their child was still sound asleep so Anya could breathe easily. They got dressed at the same time then fell down and sat on the sofa.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
“I will just order food. I can’t cook, baby. You made me tired from all that,”Andrius said to Anya as he placed his chin on her shoulder. One of his hands rested on the sofa behind her.
“You are very rude!”Anya complained. She immediately blushed because of what Andrius said.”Stay away from me. You’re clingy,”she added and pushed away from him. She slapped him on the shoulder when he tried to approach her again.
Andrius chuckled sexily while moving his head sideways. He let out a heavy sigh before taking his phone on top of the table in front of them. He then called a nearby restaurant to deliver food for their dinner.
While busy with the call, Andrius felt Anya leaning on his shoulder. When he looked at her, he smiled at the sight of her sleeping. Tired perhaps of what they did earlier. He grinned because of that. A smile of success.
It was late at night when Anya woke up. She got up and saw that she was already in bed. She immediately rolled her eyes when she heard small laughs. She smiled and realized it was Atreus.
She quickly got up and went to where the voice came from. It was from Andrius’small kitchen. Both Andrius and Atreus were talking and laughing happily like they knew each other for so long. As she watched the two, Anya’s desire to be a whole family prevailed more.
It was long enough when she deprived herself from the things that could really make her happy. She deserved it. Her son deserved it. They all deserved the happiness that had been neglected to them five years ago.
“Mommy!”her son shouted as soon as he saw her.”Good evening, mommy,”Atreus added as Anya sat in the other chair.
Atreus’blue eyes were beaming with joy. There was no smile on his lips since he met Andrius’character. He seemed fond of his father, at the same time he was very attentive to his every move.
“Hey, love. You’re eating already? Mommy is tired and woke up late, I’m sorry,”Anya apologized. She stroked his gentle face then glanced at Andrius who was busy feeding their child.
“It’s okay, mommy. Daddy is feeding me. Can we be like this forever, mommy, one big family?”Atreus asked her. Anya was stunned by what her son said. She didn’t know what to say.
“You’re one smart kid, baby,”Andrius grabbed the child’s attention.”High five!”he added as he held out his left hand to the child.
Anya watched the two as they squirmed. Then, she quietly thinked about things. She knew that at the same time she trusted Andrius in their situation and she was expecting something from him. Something she had rejected before.
Anya sighed and looked at Andrius who was looking at her intently.
Hopefully…

Anya’s life had changed a lot since she and Andrius got along. She convinced him to finish a teaching semester before returning to Metro but he became her driver every day. She then found out that he was the driver from her morning shift. She believed it was absurd but Andrius insisted it was fate.
“Ma’am! Your prince charming is waiting outside with your cute baby,”Jane informed her. Anya smiled immensely as Jane looked thrilled.”Ma’am, I hope everyone has blue eyes. He’s really handsome!”she added.
“Go back to work, Jane. You know being a prince charming is not in the physical form. It’s inside the man’s heart, okay?”Anya said to the young student.
A person’s appearance was deceptive. Physical appearance did not define a person as a whole, even the gender itself.
You could never judge nor assume.
Anya sighed and shrugged the thoughts off. She remembered what Jane told her a while ago. The situation she was in with Andrius became new normal for her. He was on campus almost every day to bring her some food with their child.
Everyone was thrilled with Andrius because of that. She became more popular for the female students of the campus when they found out that Andrius was the investor of the school building. They called him”The Handsome Billionaire.”
On the other hand, Ryan Pimentel accepted his defeat. He also forgave Anya and promised not to make any more trouble, and the young man did that. He also talked to Andrius to ask for an apology. Both were okay but definitely not close.
“Mommy!”Atreus shouted from outside. When Anya turned her eyes away, she immediately saw the smiling face of Atreus. He walked slowly towards her as he carried a bundle of sunflowers.
Anya smiled because of that.
“Careful,”she said to her son as she approached him in the hand over the flower he was carrying. She kissed him afterwards.
“Where’s Daddy?”Anya asked. When she glanced at the office door, no one was there.
“Outside mommy with a girl. They’re talking,”Atreus answered her.
Anya raised an eyebrow at what her son said. Her taste became more bitter. She tried to stop herself from coming out but in the end his mind still overcame her.
Anya went outside while Atreus was holding her right hand. She brought her bag so she could go straight out. Her schedule for today was done. It was already late and she was tired with a hungry stomach.
She looked around as the surroundings began to darken. When she saw Andrius not far away and happily talking to the young Filipino teacher on campus, she was jealous of it. Lifting the child she approached them.
Andrius noticed Anya and their son approaching where they were, the handsome man smiled. He shifted his gaze to Anya and Atreus and got appalled afterwards. As they approached, he noticed that Anya was annoyed with him, he confirmed it when she hit him.
“So, it’s all set Mr. Monterio. Goodluck!”said the girl, trying to overcome the awkwardness.
Andrius would have answered the woman when Anya spoke. He was shaking because his Anya looked hot headed. He approached her and put his arm around her waist.
“I love you,”Andrius whispered softly at the top of Anya’s head which he knew she would still hear. He also kissed her on the forehead slightly.
