"Here you go," she says placing my ID card on the counter with a welcoming smile" his office is on the top floor, there you will meet his secretary who will direct you towards his office" she explains.

"Thanks," I say with a nervous smile before leaving towards the elevator.

I grip my bag tightly on my shoulder with tension causing the increase in my heartbeat, I sigh in relief seeing the elevator empty, I press the top floor button waiting silently to get to my destination.

I know I can hear the confusion in your minds but leave it to me to fill you on my latest adventure.

I had a serious conversation with myself over everything that went on yesterday about the kidnapping, rescue, and the hidden truth and I finally concluded with the help of Mum Elaina.

I am here at The Cristian Global Enterprise to meet with Chance and I am so nervous, like what am I going to say or should I even be here now' these questions keep rolling through my mind no matter how prepared I am for this conversation I can't seem to find the right words or the right attitude to this dilemma.

The sound of the elevator opening brings me out of my thought, taking a deep breath I step out of the elevator before walking towards the Secretary's desk.

Her lips form into a welcoming smile from seeing me.

she looked gorgeous, her light brown hair tied into a neat bun, her coffee brown eyes complimenting her brown skin" you must be Miss Santa" she says walking towards me" You are welcome, come with me Mr. Chance is in his office" she says walking through the hallway with me just behind her looking more tense and anxious.

She came to a stop in front of a large brown door before knocking lightly receiving a come in.

She pushes the door open making me gasp at the view, his office is surprisingly beautiful.

I have never been to my Dad or Mum's office so I can't compare but this office is my dream office.

"Hailey you may leave," Chance says getting my attention.

His Secretary which I now know as Hailey reply with a nod giving me a pleasant smile before leaving closing the door behind her leaving me and Chance in intense silence.

I fix my gaze downcast not knowing what my next move should be I don't even know where to start from, so I just stand here staring at the neatly arrange ties with tension and anxiousness creeping through me while Chance's intense gaze burns through me.

Shiloh take a deep breath and relax, you have to do this now, this is the right thing to do no need to be tense or anxious" Shiloh" Chance calls snapping me out of my prep talk.

Taking a deep breath I walk towards his desk still not meeting his gaze before taking a seat in front of him" Shiloh I am so glad you are here today" he says sounding happy.

"I can't possibly say the same," I say under my breath before meeting his gaze.

He is dressed in a business-like manner with his brown hair combed neatly which is unusual and his hazel eyes locked on mine" would you like anything?" He asks.

I shake my head implying a no " or we could go out for lunch?"

"Chance that won't be necessary I am here because I think, no scratch that I know I deserve an explanation to everything that is going on," I say matter of fact.

He took a deep breath before taking a seat beside me then turning my seat making me face him" I know you are mad but..."

I glare at him cutting him off" I'm not mad I'm hurt there's a difference, you loved me and you started ignoring me, do you realize how much it hurts me to see the person changing right in front of my eyes who said he was the best person I could ever have in my life?" I say fighting myself not to shed any tears" you knew exactly what you were doing and that's what hurt the most"

"I'm very sorry I know I hurt you please forgive me I don't wanna lose you and my baby I love you a lot," he says taking my hands in his looking forlorn.

I pull my hands from his " what do you mean you're sorry you broke me? you're sorry, you broke our trust? You're sorry for pushing me down at my highest? What are you sorry for exactly? Because saying those words can't fix everything" I say trying my best not to yell at him with all the bottled-up pain I feel" you left me shattered on the floor and expected me to pick myself off from the ground while you were busy with that other girl, so no don't say you're sorry because I know deep down you aren't"

" Why don't you understand how much your words are hurting me?" He whispers looking pained with a glimmer of tears in his eyes.

" I am hurting you with my words then why can't you just tell me what you feel because how you act is confusing me," I say sincerely waiting for his reply.

He runs his hand through his neatly combed hair with a heavy sigh" Shiloh please I can't do this right let just..."

I stare at him not being able to hold in the tears, letting the tears run down my cheeks" why do you always shut me out? you always keep shutting me out of everything that gives you burden" I say bitterly" I sometimes I feel you are only with me because you just love the way I always made you feel not because you love me"

" Hurt, I'm fucking hurt and don't act like you care because if you did, you wouldn't have done what you did, you know what I wish I could go back to the day I met you and just walk away because honestly it would've saved me so much hurt and pain," I say picking my bag before heading towards the door.

If he doesn't want to tell me what going on inside his mind or the next step to this then I have nothing to say or anything I am here for.

Before I can get to the door he pulled me back by my wrist looking pained" You. It will always be you. Don't you get that? If I had the choice between you and a million things I've always wanted, I would choose you every single time" he says raising my chin making me meet his gaze" I love you very much, f**k I did all these things to keep you and the baby safe I know it doesn't give me the right to hurt you this much"

He rests his forehead against mine with his eyes closed" I also know I made the wrong decision which we forever hunt me but don't you get it? I choose you, over anyone else" he says with a single tear running down his cheeks" so please don't ever doubt my love even though I was foolish enough to doubt my love for you at the beginning" I stood shocked and confused not knowing what to do with his confession.

"Please Shiloh you can punish me any other way but please don't take my son from me or hate me" he pleads with his eyes still closed as tears run down his cheek.

My body quake with sobs, I hug him tightly burying my face on his chest " I don't hate you I'm just disappointed you turned into everything you said you'd never be" I say softly.

We remained in this position not willing to let the other go scared this moment meant just to be a dream or the moment we let go of reality meant just push us further away.

I took a deep breath memorizing his scent, the way his hands wrap around me protectively, the way his breath tickles my neck giving me goosebumps, and as my ear listens to his heartbeat telling me he is really here in my embrace and not just a figment of my imagination.

I take one last deep breath before pulling away from him" please show me the bathroom" I say patting my hair down.

He nods pointing towards a wooden door at the left corner of the room, I place my bag on the sofa before working towards the door.

I sigh loudly as I close the door before walking towards the sink, the bathroom looks just amazing.

I stare at my reflection in the mirror, my eyes look red and puffy from crying even my cheek and nose look red.

I turn the tap cupping my hand under the running water before washing my face, I repeat this process before drying my face with a towel hanging beside the sink.

I stare at my reflection once again cogitatingly, in my head I had imagined this conversation to be simple where I will just let him know that I have forgiven him but I never planned for it to be like this.

The funniest thing about all this is I feel less burden and I feel free after pouring out my emotion to him, I feel good and more relaxed.

I smile widely before waking out of the bathroom.

Chance's eyes snap towards me noticing my presence, I walk towards him while he seats on the sofa watching my every move.

"Are you okay?" He asks concerned as I take a seat on the opposite sofa.

"Yeah I am fine" I reply with a nod " Chance I have forgiven you but that doesn't mean everything will go back to the way it was," I say hoping he will understand.

"Yeah I know, I wasn't hoping it will go back to the way it was because I am trying to be a better man" he replies with a smile on his lips melting my heart.

"I glad you understand" I reply with a smile" You can see your son I am sure Mum Elaina signed your name as the legal father"

"Thank you so much, I promise to be a good father," He says with excitement dancing in his eyes and a wide grin playing on his lips.

I laugh lightly not being able to hold my excitement back" I miss this" he says.

" miss what," I say giving him a confused look.

"I miss seeing you happy" I roll my eyes at him feeling the normal butterfly in my stomach.

I clear my throat loudly trying to compose myself before picking my bag from the sofa "I Should be living now"

"Shiloh thank you for giving me a chance" he escorts me towards the door, reaching the elevator I wave him goodbye before watching the elevator close with a wide grin on his lips which refuses to leave.

I take in a deep breath before breathing out feeling a weight being lifted off my shoulders as my mind closes down other possibilities of my plan because things are already falling in place.
