LOST LOVE

ATTACK

James pov

I rented a house for me and Elena. After the divorce, my life has changed a lot. The house I lived in with Cat was now hers only. I moved from the penthouse under Catherine's name.
The company head position has been removed from me. Dad suspended me from the office. I am now a common employer there. The others are laughing at me in the back and front.
The bank account is decreasing day by day. Everything is moving fast. I can't run with it.
But I have to face all these for my baby.

Sometimes I think about Catherine. She was a nice girl. A nice friend and a wonderful wife. But Elena came in between us. My focus changed to her's. It was wrong, I admit. But I got a baby from it. That is my happiness.

Daniel, Victor, and Selin called me. They wanted to be her friends, like before. But she blocked their numbers. These three are my friends. They supported me in my every decision. That is what friends are for. But they want to patch up with Catherine. I, too, want to talk with her. But that made me sign the condition. I should stay at least six feet away from her. But I know Catherine. She must be missing me terribly.

"Eli baby," I called Elena. She came with a handful of fast food.
"Yes, honey. Lunch is ready, she said. Showing the packed food. Elena doesn't know how to cook. We order food most of the time.

"Is it okay to eat street food? You are pregnant? I asked. I am worried about my baby's health.
"That's fine," she said, opening the boxes.
"Eat healthy food too, Eli," I told her.

She didn't respond. She was in her world with the food.

"Aren't you eating?" she asked, eyeing me.
"No," I replied. I am not in the mood for eating. I stand up from the bed.
"Are you going somewhere?" she asked, not looking up from the box.
"Yeah, I want to see dad and ask him to take me back," I said. I am his son. He can't just cut the blood relationship.
"Then, I will also come," she said. I don't think they will welcome Elena.
" No. First, I will go and speak with them. Then you can come," she understood and didn't force me.

At his house.

"Mom," I called, getting inside the house. She came from the kitchen.
"James," she was happy to see me. I know Mom will always be by my side.
"What are you doing here?" My dad asked. His veins are popping out.
"Dad," I called him.
"I told you to stop calling me dad," he said sharply. I know he is mad. But this is my right. I am his son.
"Jordan, is that how you treat your son?" mom asked dad.
"I haven't said anything about your decision. If you want to praise what he did, then go on. But don't think of my support," he said, going outside. I can see he has not changed. So it will be a bad idea to tell him about company matters.

"Son, how is that girl?" Mom asked. She sat on the sofa. I, too, sat beside her.
"She is fine, mom," I said. She took my hand in hers.
"How many months is it now?" she asked.
"It's going to be one month," I said.
"Have you seen the cat later?" That question was unexpected. Everything reminds me of her. so I deliberately avoid her matters.
"No!" I said.
"She was a nice girl, "Mom said. I know it better than anyone.
"Have you thought about going back to her?" mom asked.
"Mom?" I questioned.
"She was the best thing in your life. When the baby is born, you should ask for forgiveness from the cat and live with her. Then your father will be okay," she said. I know Catherine loves me very much. She wanted to be with me.

Susan came downstairs.
"Who is this?" she asked me loudly.
"Hello Susan," I said.
"Hello to you too, my wonderful brother," she responded.
"Susan, you are not interested in business, right?" I know she wanted a free life. That's why dad gave the business to me.
"Yeah," she said.
"Then you can talk to dad. You don't have to take on this burden." I hope she will say no to the business dad gave her. Then he has to give it to me.
"Let me see if I can handle it or not. You don't have to worry, James. You can spend all the time with your baby, and it's momma," she said with pity.
Why is she a pity? Her eyes have a mocking expression. She was calling me a fool with her eyes.

I don't want to stay there any longer. Because now I understand that I am an unwanted guest in this house.

 

Catherine pov

I walked back to my road. The car was locked. I clicked to unlock it. I saw a guy coming to me with a knife through the mirror. I froze there. That guy aimed it towards my stomach, but a hand pulled me in time. I looked at the owner's hand. It was Dominic. I was on his chest. The guy attacked with the knife. But it was in Dominic's hands.

That guy ran to the outside. I looked at his hand. It was a small cut, but blood was flowing. I took him to the office. There was a medical kit there.

I took the cotton and added medicine to it. I pressed the cotton on his wound slowly. I blow at it every now and then.
I am scared of blood. But I can't let Dominic's hand go. He got into an accident to save me. But who was it to attack me?. 

"Is it hurting?" I asked, blowing the wound.
"Yeah, very much," Dominic answered with a painful expression.
"I am sorry. It will go soon; I comforted him.
His hand is strong. After wiping the blood, there was a small wound on it.
I bandaged the hand.
"Now everything is okay," I said, looking at him.
"But it is still painful," he said. I looked through the kit.
"There are no painkillers in it," I said worriedly.
"I heard that a kiss can reduce the pain," he said. I widened my eyes. Does he want a kiss from me?
"You want me to kiss this wound?" I asked.
"If it's hard, then there's no need. The pain will reduce gradually, he said, but he has a stressful expression. After all, he was helping me. If the knife reaches any other parts, it will cause his death. He was selfless, so a kiss can't hurt.
I took his hand and just touched my lips.
"Okay, I will get going, I said as I walked back to my car. 

I reached home. But today's incident kept reminding me of it. He was aiming exactly at me, but I don't have enemies here.
