SWNOVELS Chapter Betrayed
“Okay thank you” I say. Looking at the ceiling. I honestly don’t feel like getting up but I have too. It’s work.
I get out of bed, go to the bathroom, brush my hair, brush my teeth, and put on my outfit I prepared. I walk to the kitchen and grab a croissant that’s on the counter. I sit down and eat it. Once done, I get up, shake the crumbs off my pants and go see my husband.
“Bye, I love you! Have a good meeting honey!” I say to Rene, kissing him on the cheek.
“Love you too! How long are you going to be back in?” He asks, with the palm of his hand on my lower back.
“Not more than 2 hours” I say. Grabbing my purse and making my way to the door.
Oh wait, I forgot to say bye to my sweet boy. I go back upstairs.
“Where are you going?” Rene asks.
“I forgot something in my office” I lie and run up the stairs before he can ask anymore questions.
I enter my sweet boy’s room.
“I’m so sorry, my sweet boy! I almost left without saying goodbye! Have a good time my sweet boy. I’ll be back very soon. I’ll be gone only for a couple of hours. It’s your room now. You can do what you want.” I kiss my fingertips and press them against his chunky cheeks on the painting. I hate that he’s scared too come out when Rene’s here.
I leave the room and make my way back downstairs. I rush out the door before anyone can stop me to ask me for anything. I’m already going to be late. I hop in my car and go to my meeting. I feel so guilty leaving him alone during the day, but I have to attend my meetings if I want to keep my job. I wish I could bring him with me.
——
My meeting was fine. It lasted less long than I thought. Now I can go back home and relax with my sweet boy and my husband, of course. I get home and my husband is putting something wrapped up in the trunk of his car. I get out of the car and he quickly closes his trunk.
“What are you doing there?” I ask. Out of curiosity.
“Nothing putting my plans for tomorrow in the trunk like that. I don’t have to do it tomorrow morning!” He says, leaning on his trunk, closed.
“Smart!” I answer, thinking nothing of it, but is he acting so weird? He doesn’t move away from the trunk.
“How was your meeting?” He asks. Changing the subject.
“Great! Couldn’t wait to come back home! To you!” I say, I obviously don’t mention my sweet boy because I know he hates it.
“I just have to go somewhere quick and I’ll be back” he tells me.
“Okay I’ll be in my office” I kiss him goodbye.
I watch him get in the car and leave. I walk in and take off my shoes, go into the kitchen, into the fridge and get a bottle of water. I walk up to my sweet boy’s room and open the door.
“Hi my sweet boy! I missed you so much! You can come see me, he’s not here, he left” I say, putting my purse down on the floor.
“You know, sometime I wish it was just us!” I go to sit down and look in his direction to see his beautiful face.
“Giovanni?” I look around. Why isn’t he showing himself?
That’s when I notice and fall down to my knees. Where is my sweet boy? My chest hurts. The wall is empty. Someone took my sweet boy away from me! Whoever did this is going to regret it!
