The Shackles of Aileen's Love

Accidentally Meet

"Tell us the truth Cole. Is this real?" At work, Cole was talking to Darren and Steve.

More precisely the two friends were interrogating Cole as soon as he returned from B. C.

Cole frowned, knowing that his secret had already turned into a hot topic. "Basar you! your mouth is really unbelievable." she sneered at Darren.

All these years, all the two friends knew was the end of the relationship between Cole and Aileen.

But unexpectedly, some time ago Cole even asked Darren for an opinion on how to take care of a baby.

From there inevitably Cole had to say about the birth of his daughter that many people did not know.

"How can I stand to cover this all by myself." elak Darren. "You know me well, don't you? I can't keep a secret like this without telling Steve."

This is Cole's fault. Because Cole was too excited to forget that his best friend was the same as a leaky bucket. Can't keep a secret.

"I'm disappointed." Steve interrupted both. "I feel like a man who's not considered by a man who I think has outnumbered a brother." Aih, Steve is a good-looking pity.

"I'm giving up." Cole raised both hands. "I'll tell you. Satisfied?" darren and Steve's faces immediately turned enthusiastic. Both are ready to listen to Cole's story.

Although a little upset, deep down, Cole was looking forward to days like this, where he could show his friends how adorable and beautiful their daughter was.

"So, how old is your daughter now? can we see the picture? hopefully his face isn't as big as yours." Steve quipped.

"Damn it!"

After telling the story at length, both about the beginning of his meeting with Aileen, to how the two decided to get married at that time, to a story that hurt Cole's self-esteem and family, and how the two decided to get married, when Aileen annulled their marriage, there was nothing Cole had covered up from her best friends.

And Cole was relieved, because both Darren and Steve were good listeners. They also give advice that makes Cole more excited about realizing the future with his little daughter.

At times like this, Cole does need more input. He also needed a friend to exchange ideas.

Especially with Darren who Cole considers already have enough experience in terms of taking care of children.

"So what's your plan now? are you going to stick with a relationship without this status? or do you have a plan?" Steve voices.

Cole put his shoulder out, don't know. "Eitherway. I'm still trying to get Aileen's heart back.

It's just that right now the most important thing for me is Cessa. I just want to be a good father to my little daughter, that's all." Cole's Sahut.

"You know, I love them more than anything. Both Cessa and Aileen, both of them were precious people." Cole's eyes twinkled as he expressed his feelings.

Let's say he may be exaggerated, but his feelings can't lie. His heart always felt warm whenever he thought of Aileen and Cessa.

Darren nodded, "I understand how you feel, my friend" he said.

"When I became a father, I thought the same thing as you. The presence of a baby will unknowingly change everything in life. That's also what Sonya and I felt when we had Gio."

Darren smiles. He imagined how his life was at that time.

"Gio taught us. And as it turns out, to be a good parent, there's a lot we have to learn. I'm sure you and Aileen will also get through it later. Everything needs a process. And of course, everything will feel good when done together."

Darren and Cole both let out long breaths. Being a father has changed a lot of things in their lives.

"I don't really know what to say about babies. Because I haven't been a father like you two, man. But I think you should also care about your relationship with Aileen Cole." Steve's Advice.

"It's not good to just focus on your daughter. Well, that's not wrong. It's just, you should also think about how if you can't live with Aileen, then your position will be easily replaced even if you're Cessa's biological father."

That's exactly what Cole was worried about. Because honestly Cole would never be able to let go of such a thing if in the end Aileen chose another man as her life companion.

"What Steve said was right, man. Think about it again. Talk to Aileen. If there's any hope of being together, it's best to try again to start all over again."

"I think Aileen still has feelings for you. The proof is that he still allowed you to meet Cessa, right? that's a good sign." Darren gave his support.

"But I'm not in a hurry. I don't want to force Aileen. I was afraid that if I pushed her too much, Aileen would push me away. You know for yourself what his family background is, man." Cole turned his face. "I'm not comparable to them."

"Our relationship like this alone is more than enough for me compared to not being able to see them at all."

"What about Mr Marsden? did he comment on your relationship like this?" Steve looked at Cole probing.

"Aileen's father has always been nice to me. And actually, Mr. Dave handed the decision in full to Aileen. All this time, even though our relationship was just like this, but we were fine."

"You know, Aileen's parents aren't as cold as they seem." Cole praised. Because all this time that's what Cole felt.

Dave never once prevented himself from meeting Aileen or Cessa. Precisely sometimes, Dave is impressed like a matchmaker among them.

"Thank God it is. At least you need to knock on one door. Then everything will be fine."

"I hope so too."

"Don't be discouraged, man. Don't let you regret it for being late to fight for your love."

"You sound very wise. Haha."

...Somewhere.....

Aileen was in a hurry to head to her hotel along with Sarah. Because today Aileen must meet with one of the important clients who will use her hotel as one of the places to stay VVIP guests from other countries.

For that, Aileen herself had to take care of everything directly. But when he was about to enter the elevator in particular, Aileen accidentally saw a figure that had been recorded clearly in her memory.

"What is this woman doing here?" asked Aileen with a frown, Aileen saw Megan who had entered the elevator leading to the top floor of her hotel.

No. gabe. Better forget it..It's been a long time. Aileen spurred herself on. Honestly, he did not have time to go back to the mass, there were still many things that Aileen had to finish.

After finishing a meeting with a client, Aileen immediately took her phone to ask about the state of her daughter, Cessa.

This was the first time Aileen had left her daughter, and her heart had always been anxious.

"How's Cessa? is he fussy?" aileen asked Katrina, her daughter's nanny.

"No miss. Miss Cessa wasn't fussy at all. I just changed diapers and also gave missus milk. Even now Miss Cessa is back to sleep. Please finish your work. I'll take good care of Miss Cessa." Katrina calmed Aileen down.

"alright. I'll be back once my work is done, thanks Katrina."

clique. Aileen closed her call.

When he got out of the elevator and returned to his room, Aileen's eyes were immediately fixed on a figure that he had not met long enough.

"lex? are you here?" Aileen smiled faintly as she approached Alex. "I came to see you? it's." it's." Alex handed her a flower.

"Congratulations on the birth of your daughter. I heard it from Uncle. Your daughter is so beautiful." praise Alex. "I also saw the photo."

"Thank you Alex."

"O, yeah, when are you back?" as far as Aileen knows, Alex has been living in Paris and doing exhibitions there. Aileen doesn't know if Alex is in Vegas.

Alex smiled, "A few days ago. Have you had dinner?" tanyakanya. Aileen shakes.

Since it was honest that the whole afternoon until this afternoon her meeting had just ended, Aileen had completely forgotten to fill her stomach.

"Then want to have dinner together?"

"alright. Come on."

Both of them returned to the lobby. Sarah was waiting there. "I'll go with Alex for dinner. You go home first" said Aileen.

"Fine miss. Excuse me." Sarah was too reluctant to report the task she had previously done to Aileen. Maybe the lady had forgotten, and that was a good thing.

As Aileen and Alex step into the elevator leading to the parking lot unexpectedly in front of the door again Aileen meets an unexpected person. Cole's.

Aileen was a little surprised when she saw the man at her hotel. As far as Aileen is concerned there are no reservations for a meeting on Cole's behalf here.

Especially if people think they have a promise. Not at all. Then what's the reason Cole's here?

"Aileen?" cole's eyes were round, he frowned dislikely when he saw the man beside Aileen. Cole's eyes were also immediately fixed on the bouquet of flowers currently in Aileen's hands.

"Cole, what are you doing here?" aileen asked directly at the point. "I want to,-

"Cole..?" another voice interrupted the three, and of course their eyes were immediately fixed on the source of the sound.

Seeing who called himself Cole swore in his heart. "Hi. We meet again." Megan walked over to Cole with a smile. This woman again. Aileen rolled her eyes reluctantly.

It seems he knows what is really going on right now. Cih.

Turns out this is the reason Cole's at his hotel. Aileen thinks Cole is out of touch with the woman behind the annulment of their marriage. But it turns out he was wrong..

"It looks like I'll have to expand the elevator to the basement." murmured Aileen unfriendly. "Come, let's go get that elevator up there."

Aileen turned around. And Alex didn't want to comment.

"Aileen wait." stop Cole from catching up with Aileen and hold the woman's hand. "I came here to meet you." Cole was worried that Aileen would misunderstand.

"Sorry." Aileen jerked her hand out of Cole's grasp. "But you can see for yourself, I already have another promise." said Aileen holding back anger.

"But,-

"Sorry man. We have to go." Sela Alex holds Cole who still wants to hold Aileen. With a heavy heart Cole released his hand.

From where she stood Megan simply watched the spectacle while smiling faintly.

"Who is that, your lover? your target woman, or..?"

"It's none of your business." Cole stared angrily at Megan. "And remember, never act like you know me!" remember Cole sharply.

Megan whistling.. "Waw. I'm scared.." God fucking. Megan's laughter made Cole feel sick. "All right, until later, my dear... " Megan waved and left Cole.

...❄️...

"You guys are fighting?" Alex asked, "I mean you and that guy." obviously Alex was referring to Cole.

"I've heard stories about you guys, a little bit. But I hope I didn't make you uncomfortable for asking this."

"Forget it. We're strangers anyway." Aileen didn't want to talk about Cole. "All right, let's change the topic. I'm sorry." Alex smiled happily.

In his heart Alex was actually laughing, with a situation like this, at least he had a chance to be together with Aileen again.

After dinner, Alex takes Aileen home. And then Alex left.

Before entering, Aileen had noticed Cole's car parked in the usual place the man left his car while visiting their daughter.

"Why is this guy coming back? sucks!"
