The thought of Moon looking at me with hate filled my head. I shook my head, trying understand the reason I did it, I had no choice.
His father didn’t want him, but I did. Even if he finds out, he’ll definitely stay with me. I thought, trying to reassure myself. But deep down, I knew granny was right. Moon would undoubtedly ask of his father one day.
1 knew he always wanted to ask, I could see the way he looked at other children playing with their fathers. My son was smart, he knew something was up and didn’t create a tantnim about who his father was.

But I knew that one day, he would eventually op moment of my life with him.
My mind went to the look I had seen. Fleur’s eyes. He.. liked me?
1 would never have thought that in my wildest imaginations.
Back when I was still married to Quinn, we barely talked. Only exchanging curt greetings. I hoped I had misunderstood the look in his eyes.
My eyes scanned the area, searching for Moon. I saw him playing on the slides with a few kids. It was time to go, I had seen enough already. Who knows, if I might encounter crazy Veronica again!
“Moon! Come here baby. It’s time to go.”
“Okay mummy” He answered, jumping down from the slide. I held his hands as we walked towards my car, a sleek black suv
As I drove home, my thoughts filtered to Mr Robert’s conference. I needed to start making preparations. I was working side by side with the planning department.
We were soon home, Moon was already fast asleep. Granny still looked at me with concern in her eyes
“I’ll be fine, granny.” I said, giving her a kiss on her left check.
She nodded

Moon’s eyes flipped open as I lifted him.
I’m hungry, mumuny” He whined. I chuckled at this,
“Alright, mummy made some delicious upside–down pineapple upside–down cake. I’ll cut a part for you” I said, flashing him a smile.
I gave him the cake with a glass of juice and sent him to play in his room. I wer

I decided to bake the cakes myself, and left the other desserts to them. The kitchen was busy. I noticed a figure in a black mask from the corner of my eyes, but when I looked, the figure vanished.
*Sills, did you employ any i
y new person?” I asked the head of the caterers
“No ma’am” He answered.
It must be my eyes playing pranks on me.
The cakes were ready. I brought them out to cool. They smiled nice and looked lovely, I was proud of myself.
I went to inspect what the others were doing. I nodded my head in satisfaction.
“Nice a
one guy’s, you’re doing well.” I said in encouragement
We started to prepare the appetizers next, then we focused carefully on implementing the main course dishes, which were quite technical to make.
I sighed in relief, seeing all the dishes ready. The caterers were smiling, we had done a good job. We packed them all in the preservation machine. which the company had provided
The caterers soon left. My back ached. I had been standing and walking, inspecting the dishes. I went to take a quick shower,
I took a picture of all the dishes and sent them to Terry. As expected, he started calling
“Hey there, how do the dishes look?” I asked, wanting to hear his opinion.
“Wow, they looked really good. I’m sure they’ll taste excellent, you learned from the master.” He said.
*1 indeed learned from the master. 1 said, letting out a small laugh…
“Do you really want to work with him?” He asked all of a sudden.
I rolled my eyes.
“Not again, Terry, I told you I got this. No strings attached, only work.” I said.
I bet you’re probably rolling your eyes.” He chuckled,
“Oooil, you know me.” I said, laughing
“Do you want me to
to accompany y
you to the conference! I’ll gladly clear my schedule for you.” He said.
“Stop being a worry wart, I’ll be fine. I can handle him. Focus on your show and do well.”
Alright. Remember if you need my help please let me know, okay!”
“Alright.” I replied.
My t
1 was to cut the call, when I noticed a black figure run across the front of my
my room door. I gasped in fear before disconnecting the call.
room door was left ajar, when I entered I left it open. Hack in the kitchen, I truly saw someone in a black mask. My eyes weren’t playing pranks
There was an intruder in the house.
