Chapter 243

She was dressed in a long black umbrella skirt and high beige boots, a long sleeved purple cashmere sweater with intrinsic embroidery around her neck. The flare armed sleeves of her top revealed the diamond bracelet in her right hand and the five thousand dollar designer handbag with pearls hanging from them. When he opened the door, she shook her head, pushed him aside and walked in and went straight to the couch and started talking. "I know you don't approve, I could see that in your eyes, I know you were shocked, you can't hide your feelings from me, I know you too well". He closed the door and walked in and sat on the chair besides the couch she was sitting on. When he opened his mouth to say something, she cut him off and continued, "I know you, don't say anything, you think he is old enough to be my grandfather, you don't know anything about him, he is a wonderful man, he loves me very much and he will do anything for me. He will even get the moon for me to sleep on as a bed."

He said with a serious face, "I don't think that's a good idea..." and before he could finish she interrupted by saying "You don't like him don't you" and stared at him. He said, "Actually I was talking about the moon". She gave him a puzzled look and he continued, “See the moon has craters and the surface is quiet hard, so i don't think it is a good idea to have the moon for a bed. You can't really sleep you see". She starred at him and her face instantly changes and she started laughing and slowly the laughter changed and tears rolled down her eyes. He got up and sat beside her and hugged and gave her a shoulder to cry on. He passed on the tissue box that was hidden under the coffee table and it took about seven minutes and three tissues for her to talk again.

I haven't told you everything. I met a guy in a bar a few months ago and we started dating. We started spending a lot of time together, but I didn't know he was married and he was cheating on his wife and I was the other woman. It would have been easier if that were the case, I got pregnant, well, I still am. He was actually okay with it and I thought that things were going smooth between us. One day I get a call from someone, actually it was a threat from a woman to stay away from him and she claimed to be his wife. I asked him about it and he said that they were separated and they were getting a divorce. What I didn't know was she was the daughter of one of the local Mafia's and my life was in danger.
