CHAPTER 12

Subtitle: I DON'T REGRET MY SACRIFICE

(Loving you wasn't part of the deal)

Milo woke up and he saw Lillian already dressed for work.

"Good morning Lillian." Milo greeted her. Lillian frowned.

"Come on Milo, don't call me by my name, you can call me baby, sweetheart or any romantic names," She said.

Milo mentally rolled his eyes. He stood up and he went to Lillian.

"Good morning baby." Milo said and he pecked her cheek. Lillian smiled.

"I want more baby, how about I skip work for today? I want to be with you." Her hands went to his chest.

Milo stylishly removed her hands from his chest.

"You need to go to work okay? It's for our own good." He said.

"But I want to be with you Milo, I want you to make me feel like a woman." She said and she kissed his lips.

Milo felt like poking on her face.

'Eww.' he thought.

"Wait up.. . we'll do this when you're back from work okay? You're already late for work." Milo stated.

"How about romance huh?" She pleaded. She wanted him so badly, and only the thought of it made her wet.

"Not now please, I want to visit my parents." Milo said.

"I thought as much, you're always this nice whenever you need something from me." Lillian said and she pushed him away from her.

" That's not what I meant, you know I love you Lillian." He said.

"See? You just called me Lillian." She scoffed.

"No...no baby, I'm really in love with you." He corrected himself.

"Prove it!" Lillian stated.

'Damn you Lillian.' Milo cursed under his breath.

"I love you." He kissed her cheek, her lips, eyes and forehead.

Lillian smiled.

"That's not enough baby," She said .

'Gosh, I have to do this then.' He summoned courage and he slammed his lips on hers.

Lillian immediately parted her lips, giving him access.

Milo wasn't fast like the way she wanted, she slowly broke the kiss.

'Thank God.' Milo sighed, thinking it was all over.

"I love it, hard and rough baby." She bit her lips seductively and she smashed her lips on his.

She clung unto Milo as she kissed him hungrily, more like Devouring his lips as though she was kissed starved.

Milo tried pulling away from the kiss but Lillian wouldn't let him, her lips clung tightly to his.

"Lillian..." Milo wanted to say but it came in a whisper.

"You're mine, all mine." Lillian said as her lips trailed down his chest.

Milo wouldn't deny the fact that what she's doing wasn't having an effect on him.

"Touch me baby. Touch me!" Lillian ordered.

"Stop this!" Milo said and he gently pushed her away.

"I love you Lillian, I don't need to prove my love to you." Milo added.

"Thanks baby." She hugged him.

Milo broke the embrace and he smiled.

"Can I visit my parents ?" Milo asked.

"No, when I get back from work, we'll talk about it later," She said.

"Fine!" He didn't want to push her further.

"Stay home for now." She said and she left.

"Bitch." Milo cursed under his breath.

Francis sat in the living room, staring at the ceiling, his mind was occupied with the thought of his son, he just couldn't 't imagine what his son must be going through in the house.

His heart ached anytime he thinks about Milo, he had noticed the usual spark he sees in his son's eyes wasn't there, he looked so soulless, he knew his son was suffering there, he was suffering so much, he has no one there , he's all alone with no one to comfort him.

"Milo." Francis whispered in tears.

His mind drifted off to what he had told Milo on his last visit.

# flash back

Milo and Francis sat alone in the living room, Helen was in the kitchen preparing Milo's favorite dish, she didn't like how Milo had lost so much weight, she was hell bound and feeding him crazy.

"Milo." Francis called.

" Yes dad."

"There's something I want to tell you." Francis sighed.

"Okay dad, I'm listening." Milo replied.

"Before I say what I have to say, I just want to let you know that I' ve given it a lot of thought, and this is the only decision I can come up with, son, and this is something that I believe will be good for all of us." Francis said. Milo furrowed his brow.

"What's it you want to say dad?"

"Listen carefully to what I have to say Milo." Francis said.Milo is nominee.

"I want us to leave town, let's go somewhere far away from here, I can't stand the fact that my son is suffering so much, I can't see you suffer like this, it breaks my heart whenever I think of the pains you must be going through each passing day."

"What are you saying dad? I don't understand, what do you mean by that?" Milo said, shocked by his father's words.

"Yes Milo, look at your eyes son , it lacks the usual spark in them, you're now a shadow of your old self, we haven't seen you ever since you got married to Lillian, and now, when we finally see you..." He trailed off as he broke down in tears.

"Dad." Milo panicked seeing his father in tears.

"Please dad, don't do this, I can't bear seeing you like this, it breaks my heart dad, please dad, don't do this." Milo said, almost in tears.

"Let's leave this place Milo, let's go somewhere far, somewhere we can live a peaceful and happy life once again." Francis pleaded. Milo sighed.

"Dad, I wish I could, but deep down, I'm certain you also know it's not possible, you know what kind of man Henry is, he'll find us, no matter where we run to dad, he's a millionaire after all, he'll find us, and that'll make things worse." Milo said.

Francis couldn't argue with his son, because deep down, he knew Milo was right.

"So please dad, let's not talk about running away, and you know, this was my decision, I did this to save mom's life, and I don't regret it, in fact, it was the best decision, mom's life is more important to me than anything else, and you know I'll do anything for my family dad, I also wouldn't think twice about sacrificing my life for my family." Milo smiled weakly.

"Milo." Francis sobbed.

He immediately pulled his son into a hug, he felt proud of his son, in fact, he couldn't be more proud of his son.

They both stayed in that position for sometime, Helen came out to join the hug, she overheard their conversation, and she also felt proud of her son.

"Please Lord, protect my son, give him the happiness he deserves, see him through, and provide a way for us to pay this debt so my son can be free and live a normal life once again." Francis prayed in his heart.
