Chapter 3

Kelvin's POV

"Wait", I heard myself say. She looked at me and was surprised.

When I walked into the meeting hall, I noticed the new employee. Camilla Xanders. I looked at her trying to recall where I had seen her. I knew it was not just along the road. Throughout the meeting, I could swear she was absent minded. I thought hard until fate brought the idea to me. She was the girl I had been looking for for the past three years. I was certain it was her. Three years ago, I had a one night stand with a lady and I have been looking for her since then. After that night, I found my self desiring her. All other ladies didn't satisfy me. That was very strange. Nevertheless, I kept looking for her but I never found her. Just as I had given up, she showed up at my company. Wow.

" Sir? " She called, pulling me out of my day dream. "Sit", I said to her. I turned to my secretary and asked him to leave. He bowed and left.

" It's you", I said without formalities or preamble. Seeing that she didn't reply, I continued. "You disappeared. Why?" She looked at me and said, "were you expecting me to return? It was a one night stand, a mistake. Do we have anything else?" I looked at her and felt my emotions stir. She hasn't changed from three years ago. She was still pretty. Her lips, her voluptuous breasts, her … I wanted her. I have always wanted her. Only the memory of last three years made me erect. "I want you again", I heard myself say before I could process the words. Her eyes widened. She frowned. " No". "Why, why can't I? " "You are my employer, it's against work ethics" she replied. I looked at her. I couldn't think of anything else to say.

Camilla's POV

I waited with trembling feet. He was in a world of his own. Soon, it was only I, the CEO and his secretary that were left in the large meeting room. He dismissed his secretary and focused on me. His gaze softened. I was no longer scared. After the last feedback I gave him, he seemed tongue tied. I used that opportunity to look at him closely. Kelvin was his carbon copy. I began to regret naming him Kelvin. It seemed he was named after his father. I stood up, looked at him and walked out of the meeting room. He didn't stop me. But I felt his gaze on me. It was enough to strip me naked.

I knew the excuse I had given was quite lame. But that wasn't my concern. I wasn't come through out the day. I tried my best to be calm. I couldn't wait for the close of work. I needed to see my son. I had to make sure he was fine. I wanted to call my friends and tell them what happened. I was very scared. Kelvin is one person I can't bear to part with. I wouldn't let Kelvin come after him. 'What if he knows about the baby? What he is waiting for the right time to strike and take my son and my all away from me?' I couldn't help if. Thoughts of this kind and more flooded my mind.

A bell jingled to indicate the close of work. "Nice job Miss Xanders", I heard my boss say. " You did well today". "Thank you sir". He smiled and left the office. I wondered what it was I did nicely today with my bothered mind. Thankfully I hadn't flopped on my first day at work. I tidied my table and was soon out of the office. At the entrance, I met Kelvin. It seemed he was waiting for me. My heart skipped a beat. " Let me drop you off", he offered. "No, thank you". I declined quickly without even looking at his face. I ran off quickly without waiting for his feedback.

I couldn't wait to get home. I knocked rapidly on the door which flung open immediately. I by passed my mum who opened the door and ran to my son. " Mummy "! He called. I hugged him tightly. " Baby". My mum looked at me, surprised. "I met him"

"Who?" Mum asked.

"Kelvin's father…

" Great. Hope you told him about his son and.

"Mum, how do you expect me to? He is the CEO of Frostbite company. What if he wants the boy? I can't part with him!" I hugged Kelvin tighter and walked into my room, trying to stop the tears from flowing. I lay on my bed and cried to my fill. When I finally opened my eyes, Kelvin had gone. I picked my phone and called Michael. He picked up soon.

"Camilla my baby..how are you?"

"Michael… I met him"

"Who? And why are you crying?" He asked. His voice filled with concern. " Kelvin's father. He is the CEO of Frostbite company. And that's where I am working. What if he knows about the baby? What of he wants to take his son? He is powerful and I am no match for him. I can't loose my son. Mike…" Michael was silent. He didn't say anything for about a minute. "Michael, did…"

"I heard you. I was waiting for you to finish crying and being paranoid. What if, what if. He doesn't even know you have a son. And here you are crying." "Michael I know what I am saying". " It's fine. Stop saying and knowing ma. I will call Lisa and see if she will be free this evening. You need to step out and quit being paranoid. Okay. I will come over in the evening ".

At the club in the evening, I sat down quietly and sipped my wine. Michael stared at me quietly and said" I am going to have some fun. You need to stand up too and clear your mind. Lisa is busy. She can't come". He said and walked off. I sat down and sipped my wine. I felt a pair of eyes on me. I knew I wasn't being paranoid again. I swallowed hard. I had to find Michael. I tried to shake the feeling off me but i was sure someone was watching. I turned around and saw a figure lurking in the dark. Staring at me. The moment our eyes met, he turned and sneaked away. I was filled with goosebumps. Who was it lurking in the dark? Why was he watching me? My son, is he safe? Questions upon questions filled my heart. I stood up quickly in search for Michael. I turned to go when I saw that figure walking towards me.
