My ex, my Fiancee's Son

Chapter 40. Marcus's Confession

Running as fast as I could until a few seconds later I was at the door of the room. My breath was hunting and cold sweat was pouring out. I took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Then press the door handle and open it.

My heart is beating faster. I started to step inside and saw Marcus and Andrew sitting on the couch facing each other. The two of them turned towards me with flat eyes. I stared in turn at the two of them. Trying to figure out what Marcus told Andrew. I can't act rashly.

"Is that really Shelina?" Andrew looked at me so sharply that it pierced into the heart. Spurred my heart to beat faster. My heart is like a time bomb that will break at any moment.

I was still silent and did not answer Andrew's question.

"Is it true that you and Marcus used to be dating?" My heart rumbles like a drum that wants war. Gurgle very fast and strong. My tongue was muddy and I was silent, unable to move. I don't know what to say.

"Why didn't you tell me? Why are you hiding this from me?" Andrew's tone of voice remained calm and controlled but it frightened me even more. How much Marcus told him.

My eyes glanced at Marcus. The man just kept quiet and looked at me. As if asking me to speak the truth because he already told Andrew.

"Andrew, i...."

"Do you think you're gonna hide this from me forever?" I really don't know what to say. I'm guilty and sorry for not telling her the truth from the start. And I'm sure Andrew would be very angry with me.

"Andrew, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have hidden this from you." Andrew looked at me so sharply that my guts shrieked and looked down to avoid his eyes.

"Why are you hiding it?"

"I'm sorry. Sorry, I shouldn't have hidden this when I found out Marcus was your son. I'm just—"

"Enough." Andrew's stressed voice made me stop my words. The man got up from his seat and walked towards me. His eyes are looking at me sharply. He walked firmly and now stood before me. His chest rose up and down holding something that was about to explode right now.

I just fell silent in fear and was ready to accept all the tantrums and anger from him. Andrew's hand slowly moved floating in the air. Is he gonna slap me?

I closed my eyes tight. I know I deserve a slap and a tantrum from him. I betrayed Andrew.

And a second later my body became stiffer and unable to move. My eyes widened in disbelief. Andrew didn't slap but the man hugged me tightly.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know that your first man was my son, Marcus. I'm sorry."

I'm getting confused about it. Shouldn't Andrew be mad at me now? Why did he even apologize? He's not wrong. I'm the guilty one here. I'm the one who's having an affair with Marcus behind her. Then why is he apologizing?

Andrew took off his arms but did not take our bodies away. He touched my chin and raised it.

I looked at Andrew's face close to mine. His eyes were full of sadness and wounds.

"I'm disappointed that you didn't say anything important to me. But I feel more guilty because that man is my son." My forehead shrinks. I'm still trying to decipher the meaning of Andrew's words.

Could Marcus have just told us about our relationship in the past? That guy hasn't told you about us having sex behind Andrew?

"You're going through a lot of suffering and misery because of Marcus. Because he took away your chastity, you were tortured by Jonathan. Since he just left you, you find it hard to trust any man. I who do not know this at all even ask you to be close and friends with him. Asking you to go back to meet the man who has destroyed and given you grief. It must be heavy and hard for you to deal with. You must be tortured and hurt every time you meet Marcus."

My tears were dripping without my being able to stand it. Everything Andrew said touched my heart. He is more concerned and worried about my feelings than he is. I had already let her down but how could she still be so attentive and worry about me like this?

"I'm sorry I didn't know this. I'm sorry I couldn't educate my son well. I'm sorry that I was selfish and didn't know about your suffering all this time. Sorry Shelina. You must be very miserable living in this mansion."

How could I leave him? This guy is too good. I can't possibly disappoint her who cares about me so much.

My tears are flowing more and more. Andrew's teary eyes looked at me with a sorry look and a deep sense of guilt. It was as if I had experienced and understood how much suffering and hurt I had experienced.

And I lied to this nice guy? Betrayed him? I destroyed all the trust he gave me? How cruel I am.

"No, Andrew. You shouldn't apologize. I was wrong. I'm sorry."

"No. You don't have to apologize. I understand why you didn't tell me that. You don't want me to punish my son."

"Tell me the truth. Do you still want to marry me, even if you know Marcus is my son?"

I'm speechless. I didn't think Andrew would ask this. He asked me my willingness to marry him. It should have been a good time to reject our marriage, but somehow my brain ordered the head to nod. Even though my heart screamed and cried loudly at this decision. But I stick to my decision. I'm gonna marry him.

"Yes, I'm still going to marry you. Even though Marcus is your son." Andrew's lips slowly began to curl a smile. And I'm glad to have that smile on his face.

"No!" Marcus' screams broke the heartache and freshness that was going on between me and Andrew.

"You can't marry her, Dad. Shelina is my lover." Marcus is not far from us. His eyes were staring deeply and furiously.

"Maybe you mean an ex-lover."

"No, she's my boyfriend now. We've even made love behind your back, " said Marcus firmly making me stunned by his words.

My heart is beating and it hurts. It was as if someone had hit him so hard. I didn't know what to do and just glanced at Andrew with fear. The man stared intently at Marcus.
