The Shackles of Aileen's Love

Go home

...❄️...

...❄️...

That night, Cole's world felt different. He who did not know how to return from the hospital, decided to go home to his parents. Cole hoped he would gain a bit of enlightenment if he were there.

It could be said that he was in a state of concern. Or maybe it is wiser if it is said still do not know what to prepare in conditions like this.

Dave Marsden's. He is a very famous businessman in Vegas. The wealth he has can not even be covered up from the media spotlight.

The owner of the largest automotive company and also the owner of Dozens of star-rated hotels that have mostly been managed by his only daughter. Aileen Marsden's.

And just overnight, Cole, who is a nobody, will soon be part of the Marsden family. He will marry the only daughter of the famous man. Is this something real? maybe yes.

Cole was both confused and amazed. As a man, he has never had the slightest chance of becoming a husband or father in the near future.

Not that he never thought about it, because honestly since a few years ago, his papa has been alluding about marriage. Although not too obvious.

Who cares about getting married at a time like this? he's still in his late twenties, he's still too young for that, isn't he? And Cole knew that his papa's words were just like an implied ultimatum.

Cole never took that seriously. Because honestly, he never had an interest in a long-term relationship that he thought would be troublesome.

As a man who is currently in the wind, thinking or deciding to get married is not the best choice.

It might even hinder his career. Because of this, Cole has never been serious about dating or deepening a relationship.

But at the same time, Cole just had to experience everything directly and for sure. His world changed 180°.

Single men who are busy talking because the soul of the business will actually get married in the near future. Cole never thought that the title of such an article would be published about him.

Cole's head pulsates. Everything was so sudden. If magic did exist, then Cole would believe it.

the situation he is in right now is like that. It's like there's a magic that makes everything just happen. So fast was even faster than what he could think.

Not even if he was going to be a father. To be honest until this moment Cole still can not imagine how his future will be. Getting married and having a baby is not an achievement that he achieved in the near future.

With his position now, of course he should be more careful in making decisions. What's more, because there was a vulnerable time long enough after the incident in that night.

The night that always makes him feel the same sensation over and over again. Makes his body sweat, and also vibrate at the same time. Cole's afraid.

Whenever he thought about or imagined whatever he had done with the girl, his body always showed the same reaction. And it always frustrates Cole.

A lot of effort was made to remove the memory from his head, but like casting a spell, it stayed there, the longer it stuck perfectly.

Therefore, in his little heart Cole began to believe that at this time he was being deceived. If it was true that all of this was a snare that the woman was playing, Cole feared that he would be trapped forever. Trapped in a world he can't escape.

But the problem is, why himself? that's a fucking question he should know what the answer is.

Of course it was because she was the one who had fucked that woman. Or on the contrary, it was the woman who started it.

And the biggest question left to Cole is simply; does he want all this? is he willing to marry the only daughter of the famous businessman? is he ready to be a father? the answer is Maybe.

Cole's heart was pounding again. That sense of unease regained control of him. How can I say something this big so easily? oh my. Am I really going to be a father?

"Welcome young master?" The butler greeted Cole at the door. The middle-aged man was already standing there even before Cole's parked car stopped. Cole nodded faintly as he removed the velvet coat he had been wearing..

"Have mom and dad slept?" ask Cole. He deliberately asked just to make sure that his arrival did not cause a stir.

"It seems so young master. After dinner, the lady went straight back to the room. And big master, it seems to have returned as well." replied the butler.

Cole was relieved. At least tonight he has time to think things through..

Once again Cole nodded faintly. "Alright" he said, "O, yes tonight I'll stay the night. Let me say hello to mom and dad tomorrow morning."

"Good sir. Please go to your room."

...❄️...

Cole thought he could think clearly after being inside the house. But it didn't. He thought it was getting more confused.

This is the first time for Cole. It's usually not like this. Before, home was the only place Cole found a solution, but why is it different now?

Cole was almost awake all night. Despite trying to sleep, he could not close his eyes. What always comes to mind is the face of Aileen and also the baby in the woman's womb.

Whenever he wanted to think rationally, Cole was always haunted by the question, is it true that the baby is his? was the baby really because of what they did that night? how could he believe everything so easily..

Cole was really upset. On the other hand, he had to talk everything over to his parents first. Whether it was in the end he was going to get married or not, the most important thing was to say everything.

That's why once the horizon began to show a ray bias that he was very familiar with, Cole decided to get out of his room..

Not to mention he left the room, Cole could smell the pastry that had just been removed from the oven. A smell that filled the entire room.

Cole smiled. It's been a while since he smelled this scent. The typical fragrance of sweet woody pastry is the mainstay menu in his family.

And the only person who would make such a pastry in this house is his mommy. Which means, Cole's got a friend to talk to.

From the end of the stairs Cole watched his mother. The woman even looked so radiant at a time like this. Cole recalled, his mother once said; the time he liked the most was when removing the pastry from the oven.

Because in that moment, everyone could smell such a delicious scent. And Cole understands that.

Since childhood he has been accustomed to the smell of pastry that is so stinging, even so, mommy-made pastry is amazingly delicious.

"For Mom." Sapa Cole immediately hugged the woman who still looks beautiful and fresh despite her age has exceeded half a century.

The woman looked a little surprised, but hurriedly showed her smile, "Morning is also a pity. Tumben once you stay." he still smiles while arranging the cookies on the table.

What a welcome for a son who has not been home for a long time.

Cole took a pastry containing cheese, then devoured it in one mouthful. "Mom's not happy I'm coming?" the man stood at the end of the table leaning over there.

"Not really. Mom is happy to see mom's son who is super busy can remember if he still has parents. And be kind to stay here." Cole's lips lifted. He couldn't help his smile when his mother said that.

This is not the first time Cole has heard sarcasm in his mother's words. Since he was too busy working and decided to live alone, his mother always said the same thing. So Cole got used to it.

But for a moment Cole kept quiet. In his heart he began to consider while paying attention to how his parents would react if he said his current situation.

To be honest, Cole still hasn't confirmed what the girl and her family's plans are. But given that Aileen refused to marry her future fiancee last night and asked her to take responsibility, it seems like their marriage is indeed coming soon.

"Mom in a moment it seems like I can realize your wishes" Cole said. He waited for his mother's response carefully.

The woman stopped arranging the cake and turned her body to give a look that seemed to be doubting the words. "Cole..?" he said, with slightly squinting eyes, full of warnings just in case Cole just wanted to give a strange joke in the morning.

"Mom will soon have a grandchild. Maybe a grandson, or maybe a granddaughter" Cole said.

He had no intention of delaying the conversation. Especially with his mother. Because what Cole needs right now is a friend to talk to in person. And the right person he thinks is the woman in front of him, Cole's mother.

Sooner or later his parents have to find out what happened. Although all of that was only the smallest possibility of his own mind, Cole would not ignore the existence of the most important people in his life.

"You can't be predicted, baby. And come on, it's still morning." Cole's mom snorted. "Don't make your brain have to think about things in the morning, Cole. Just eat the cake" he said again.

But Cole is still flinching. Although it sounds joking and impossible for him who is a rejection of commitment, but this time he meant it. "Oh my God .." Cole's mother threw her hand into the air.

"Where's Cole? which girl did you force to conceive your child? did you cheat her?" still with the same expression the woman seemed to doubt the truth that came out of her son's mouth. Or rather, his mother seemed too relaxed to respond to the big news.

While Cole was pounding half to death, but maybe his mommy was relaxed as if talking about a usual mischief. Oh my God, am I still a kid?

"Mom do I look like an asshole to you?" said Cole. He walked over and sat down next to his mother who was sighing.

It seems Cole is a little overdone. But the word bastard might fit pinned if he got pregnant with a girl like this.

"Oh come on baby, all men have the potential to be assholes. And you know it. Now tell me what really happened." Not wrong. What mommy Cole said is true. "Or is it possible that this girl is tricking you?" ask her again.

It was natural for her mother to think so. Anyone would think the same. All this time they had never even heard of Cole having a lover.

His son is not even dating or anything that has the potential to be a couple in the future, but in an instant suddenly they hear that in the near future they will become a grandfather and grandmother. Anyone would wonder.

"No mom. Nobody's lying here" Cole said calmly. Because the truth is like that. It's not a trick or anything.

Although he should have been a little suspicious. But how could he vilify the name of a girl who is well-respected in the public eye.

"Then? you really like her?" mommy Cole squinting. "You like that girl. Mom's son is really in love? waw. It's amazing." he added.

Seeing the reaction her mommy gave her made Cole smile. Mommy can always show a response that makes Cole feel a little calmer even in situations like this. Cole thinks he can get the support of the most important person in his life.

"I think falling in love is too much mom. Maybe interested." Cole ignored the disapproving look of his mommy.

"Attraction won't get you to this point, baby." Although he disagreed with that, Cole also did not want to deny it anymore.

Because he was very interested in the woman who he said was pregnant with his baby.

"Mom. Is Papa gonna scold me?" cole asked with trembling eyes. Since he was a child, Cole has always been strictly educated by his father.

Moreover, because of the background of his father who was a military leader. That's why, now Cole feels like he's stuck in a minefield.

After escaping from one mine, there was still another mine waiting for him. If he is not careful, then it will end horribly.

"No dear. You know your father can't be mad at you, even though he sometimes gets too strict about treating you. Just talk to him. Your papa will understand."

"In that case, I'll ask mom to talk to you. How's it?" Cole's mother fell silent. Then it goes back to saying, "Well, is this real?"

Cole flinching. "Do I look like I'm kidding mom?" now both are silent. Mommy Cole sighed again. "alright. Then meet us with that woman, your future wife."

This is what Cole hoped. Little help means a lot, and Cole is very grateful for that. "We'll talk to you first, Mom. I'll tell you when you can meet."

Cole's heart was truly relieved, he had already gained the support of his family. And now all that was left was the decision from Aileen as well as her parents.

"I love you Mom. I'll call you as soon as I can. I have to go to the office again." Cole said in a hurry.

"No breakfast?"

"I'll come back later. Give my regards to papa. Tell me I'm sorry I couldn't wait for it." Cole said.

Now he has something in him. He has people who will support him in any situation. And Cole thinks he can go even higher.

Like a lucky ladder was siding with him.. Aileen will be the fastest elevator to climb to the top..
