The Shackles of Aileen's Love
A Different Life
...❄️...
...❄️...
...❄️...
The days just pass by. But it still feels the same for Cole. Nothing has changed. Neither himself nor his heart.
Even after a year since Aileen canceled their marriage.
Cole still can't let go of his love, especially if he has to forget about Aileen like Cole was supposed to.
Cole can't. Plus after the presence of their little daughter who is currently only 5 months old.
Cole's feelings became even greater to the woman who had once dumped him.
Though it sounds cruel, Cole still loves Aileen. All about that woman always makes Cole crazy and longing.
Aileen was his breath and also his life. His heart had long been owned by that woman. Even Cole was willing to throw away his freedom in order for Aileen to forgive her old self. And until now, Cole still continues to strive to have Aileen.
The anger, disappointment and hate that he had once directed at Aileen did not make Cole's life better, in the end it only worsened his longing for Aileen.
Because Cole has fallen for him. The woman who had given birth to a little baby to Cole.
Imagining everything that happened between them and also with the existence of his little daughter made Cole increasingly renew his feelings for Aileen. And now that woman is the only source of happiness for Cole.
Cole felt very grateful, because Aileen had given happiness that Cole had never imagined, and one of them was the presence of Princessa, their daughter who was so beautiful and adorable.
"Sir, Mr Darren from the headquarters asked if you'd be back today or if I should report another date?" ask a man who currently works for Cole as an assistant.
Over the past year, Cole has successfully established a new company in B.C. There are some business partners Cole who invest quite large in his company, which is why Cole can spread his wings to this place.
In addition to turning his mind around a bit, Cole really wanted to be a decent man for Aileen as well as her daughter.
Despite being aware of his position, he cannot rival the Marsden family, but Cole will still do his best to be worthy to stand by Aileen's side as a man.
"Tell me, if I'll be back the day after tomorrow. Have you done everything I asked for?" asked Cole with a frown.
"Already sir. I sent them all on the same date. And it will arrive on time as usual." said the man.
"alright. You can go back to your place."
After the man came out, Cole immediately picked up his phone and typed a message for Sarah..
...To: Sarah...
..."I'll count on you this time. Thanksmeme it."...
After sending the message, Cole returned to work on his duties. For the past six months, Cole has been getting any information about Aileen through Sarah.
After begging the woman to help him, Cole can continue to be on Aileen's side in his own way.
And Cole was grateful for it. Thanks to his cooperation with Sarah, Cole can keep an eye on Aileen, even Cole can also witness a precious moment in his life; namely the birth of their little daughter.
Cole doesn't even know how he can repay Sarah's kindness. Although nothing has changed from her relationship and Aileen but Cole feels very grateful that Aileen never pushed herself to go away.
Cole is still allowed to visit occasionally to meet his daughter as well as give attention as a father.
That way Cole has a chance to do his responsibility.
And Cole was already satisfied with Aileen's decision like that. Cole hopes that, if one day, the relationship between them can change better than now. I hope that.

...Vegas...
"Miss, there's a delivery for you and Miss Cessa." Sarah placed various kinds of paper bags and also boxes of parcels on the guest table in Cessa's room.
Aileen only glanced at the glance at the items brought by Sarah, because Aileen knew who the sender of the items was.
"Let it be there Sarah. I'll see it later." Aileen's orders. "Well miss."
From where he sat, Aileen smiled faintly. Aileen knows exactly what will happen every weekend.
Cole always filled his house with items that Aileen could actually buy with her own money.
But since the man insisted, Aileen could only let things go like this.
After all, Cole would not want to listen to his ban, just like when Aileen asked Cole to forget him. Cole did not budge at all.
Finally, Aileen could only let things go as they were. When deciding to cancel their marriage, Aileen thought Cole would give up and walk away, but in fact the man still continued to be around Aileen, even in an extraordinary way.
...To: Cole's...
..."You filled Cessa's room again."...
Recalling earlier when Aileen refused to meet with Cole and compared to today, everything felt different.
He used to think it would all be over if he pushed the man away, but in the end his heart was the first to waver. Especially if you remember that time, when the pregnancy is getting bigger and bigger.
There was always something that made him feel tired. Aileen felt that everything had become uncontrollable and also extremely exhausting.
His life suddenly felt empty, and he was tired and desperate. Coupled with a change in mood that was beyond normal limits, it all felt difficult for Aileen, and like a miracle; when everything was chaotic Cole was there to provide the support Aileen needed.
Cole began to fill the void that felt so stifling. Aileen was able to breathe well, even starting to enjoy her life. All because of Cole.
The man who was without much talk but gave all that Aileen needed. Support and attention too.
That's what Cole did for him. And without Aileen realizing, Cole's existence becomes something that means something to her. Even to this day..
With careful consideration, Aileen also decided to let Cole be near her daughter. Because Cole did have the right to it as the father of his little baby.
"What's my schedule today Sarah?" Aileen read the daily reports from her secretary.
"You don't have any schedule, miss. There are only a few documents that require your consent. And I put it all in your workspace." Sarah calmly. Aileen.
"Mr Dave says you have to cut back on your work schedule. What's more because today is the schedule for Miss Cessa's regular check-ups" said Sarah, understanding Aileen's gaze.
After giving birth, Aileen never went to the hotel again. Not exactly. It was Aileen herself who decided this, because Aileen wanted to give her time and all her attention to her little daughter, Amanda Princessa Maximilian.
Despite that, Aileen did not completely give up her responsibilities as President. Aileen was still doing all the work from home.
Assisted by Sarah and Katrina, the nun who nurtured her little daughter, Aileen performed two roles well.
Aileen could only sigh in resignation. "alright. You set everything up." Aileen. He turned to a baby box not far from his seat.
Aileen smiled as she touched Cessa's tiny hand. "She's really adorable" she said smiling happily. Seeing Cessa's face will always remind Aileen of the baby's father.
And of course it caused a slight envious feeling in Aileen's heart. The reason, not only Cessa's face that resembles Cole, but her little daughter also inherited a netra with a color similar to Cole's. Really envious.
"Of course Miss Cessa is. He inherited all the best genes from his father and mother." Sarah said, and Aileen could not deny that.
Huh.really. Aileen smiled..
...❄️...
In the afternoon, Aileen was preparing to take Cessa to the hospital. They should have regular checkups and also give Cessa periodic immunizations.
"Give me Kat, let me just carry her" Aileen said, asking Cessa to be moved in her lap. "Well Miss." so did Katrina.
The presence of Cessa had great meaning for Aileen. His life feels so much happier. Especially at a time like this, when Aileen can hug Cessa freely.
If you remember the previous time, Aileen had the fear to hug her little daughter. Aileen is afraid that Cessa might get hurt because of her inability to care for the baby.
And for all that, Aileen needed quite a long time to get used to it. Even Cole looks more capable in taking care of Cessa than he is.
Although it was equally a first experience for them, Aileen could see if Cole was more confident in his ability to carry and also put their little daughter to sleep. Maybe that's what we call instinct.
Aileen was envious. She doesn't want to be considered a bad mother to Princessa.
It didn't take long, and their car arrived at the hospital. Katrina takes over Cessa while Sarah accompanies Aileen to take care of routine check-up forms.
"Everything is ready, miss. Come on." take Sarah. Katrina followed behind the two.
After regular checkups and regular immunizations, Aileen took Cessa home.
Aileen is already quite adept at taking care of her little daughter, from bathing, to changing diapers and also giving milk to Cessa. All Aileen can do alone.
But sometimes Aileen also feels anxious even helpless, especially at times like this, when Aileen must always be prepared.
Usually, after immunization Cessa's body will have a fever, the doctor said it was a reasonable reaction. But even so Aileen always felt anxious.
"Please take my daughter upstairs, I'll finish my job first" Aileen said, not wasting any time. "Well miss."
...❄️...
After finishing all his work, Aileen returned upstairs. The time has shown at 8 p.m.
Aileen always walked into her daughter's room whenever she had free time. Aileen was always worried when she was not with Cessa, even though there was Katrina in charge of babysitting her daughter.
"How's the condition? is Cessa fever?" Aileen touched Cessa's body slowly. "No miss. I have given medicine to keep watch according to the doctor's advice." said Katrina.
"Thank God." Aileen breathed a sigh of relief. As a mother, Aileen's heart always felt unbearable when she saw her little daughter had a fever.
Aileen would feel bad for not being able to replace Cessa to endure the pain.
"You can rest Kat. I'll take care of Cessa." said Aileen. Tonight he wants to be with his daughter. "Well miss."
Early in the morning Aileen was already looking tired. He was awake from the beginning. Midnight last night Cessa had a fever of up to 38°.
But luckily after Aileen quickly gives the drug and also compresses Cessa, until Cessa's body temperature returns to normal again.
"Good morning dear mommy. Thank you for going through tonight so well. Mommy's daughter is great." Aileen said with gratitude.
"Sleep longer, baby. Mommy will come back later." added Aileen then left Cessa in her room. Aileen's body was tired. He should sleep a little if he wants to stay healthy.
By the time Aileen came out, Katrina was almost at the door. "Good morning, miss" she said hello. "Good morning too Kat." replied Aileen.
"I'll go back to the room to squeeze and sleep for a while. Don't give her any more medicine, I've given her medicine. Please take care of Cessa for a while" Aileen said, then entered her room next to Cessa's.
"Okay, miss, have a good rest."
...❄️...
Downstairs, Dave had just finished his breakfast and was about to get ready to go to the office.
But suddenly Dave heard a loud cry from his grandson's room. At that time Dave immediately ran quickly to the top floor.
"What's with papa Aileen's granddaughter?" ask Dave with a worried face. "I don't know pa either. Cessa was just a little fussy, but all of a sudden the crying became like this."
Aileen patted the back of her crying daughter. But Cessa's cries didn't subside in the slightest.
"Is Cessa uncomfortable anymore?" Aileen glassy. He was always weak when he heard the cry of his little daughter. Aileen felt helpless.
"Give it to papa" said Dave asking that Cessa be given to him. Aileen gives her little baby to Dave while looking anxiously at Cessa.
Shhsttt.. Shhttt... "Cessa baby.. What's up?" Dave spoke softly. "Is opa's granddaughter in pain? or is something uncomfortable? Hem's? tell opa baby.."
Despite knowing the little baby would not be able to answer, Dave still rambled like the two were actually talking.
"Cessa wants to play with opa? let's go play to the park after Cessa recovers, how is it? Cessa wants? yeah.smart kid." Dave stroked Cessa's back gently.
Shhstttt... Shhstttt... "Yes. yes. opa tau.. Cessa's a good boy."
Aileen continued to watch in silence. The way her papa used to calm Cessa really worked.
The sound of the baby's crying is getting smaller. And now little princess Aileen is not even crying anymore.
"Have you contacted Cole Aileen? When did Cole get back to Vegas? it's possible that Cessa was wanting her Daddy" Dave said.
Aileen shakes. He doesn't know when Cole will be back. As Aileen knows, Cole is busy with his new company in B. C. And to be honest Aileen also had no intention of interrupting Cole's time. That's why Aileen didn't say anything about Cessa's health.
"Contact Cole. Tell him to meet Cessa. This kid has a fever. It's possible he missed his Daddy." Dave's orders are firm.
This is not because Dave supports Cole to return to his daughter, but because Dave is also a father who used to also have a daughter.
"Good papa Dave." so did Aileen. Although feeling a little sad because he could not take care of everything alone, Aileen knew that she could not be selfish. Cole loved their daughter very much.
Aileen had to tell Cole about Cessa's condition. And maybe what Papa Dave said was true. Cessa wants her Daddy.
...To: Cole's...
..."When are you back in Vegas? Cessa is having a fever after her periodic immunizations. Looks like Cessa needs you. If you're not busy, come."...
