Love At Last

Cayden

I was still trailing behind him without him knowing, when I got a call from the PI agent that I employed to get dirt on the baby daddy.

The PI agent told me that he already found out that the baby daddy in question wasn’t only a failure, he was a drug dealer, trafficker and he abuses drugs too.

I knew that the baby daddy was bad, but I didn’t know that he was that bad.

I was in awe when the PI agent continued telling me about how he was running away from the government and the police too. He was in big trouble as he’s a hardened criminal.

A Shiver went down my spine when I remembered that Lily was oblivious to these facts. I was also Informed that he was really broke and he couldn’t even afford anything by himself. Coupled with that, he also had a wife and kids in Mexico.

I put the phone down because I was really shocked about everything and I just couldn’t continue listening to what he was saying.

When I put the phone down, I decided to stop following him. I would need more than a confrontation to stop him from following Lily.

I went to my house instantly and I started thinking about what to do. I really have to do something. Fast.

Lily’s POV

After Cayden and my baby daddy left, I was left with my thoughts. Something was definitely wrong between those two, but I had no time to even ponder over it and I went back to work.

When it was finally time for lunch, I removed my apron and I left the counter. I was about to go out when I also saw Jarod coming in. I was a little bit shocked to see him because he hadn’t come to the shop in a while.

“Hey, Lily. How are you?” He said enthusiastically when we went back inside the shop. I smiled back at him and I returned his greetings.

I kept on wondering why he was in the shop, but I didn’t just want to ask him so I wouldn’t be seen as rude. After all, I’m not the only one in the shop and I’m sure anybody can come in too.

He was being friendly to me, too friendly even and u just knew that he was trying to make amends for what he did. I decided that two can play the game and I acted oblivious to his friendly acts.

“Do you need something?” I asked him after minutes of speaking with him. I wanted him to leave because I needed my lunchtime.

He hesitated for a while before he answered me. I could see that he didn’t even plan on getting anything with the way he was stuttering when he was making his order.

Cayden’s POV

Before I knew it, it was already evening and I just knew that Lily would have left the shop, so I decided to call her and inform her about the new discovery that I just made.

After thinking about everything, I was finally feeling a little bit relieved because I know that sooner or later, I’m going to get her baby daddy arrested.

I dialled her number and I waited for her to answer.

She answered after the second ring.

“Hey, Lily.” I said when she picked the phone.

She answered a few seconds later and I wasn’t satisfied with the way her voice sounded over the phone.

“Can you come to the bar? Where we usually get drinks.” I decided to ask her and she reluctantly said yes. I asked her if she was okay and she said that she was with the most convincing voice I’ve ever heard.

I tried talking to her again and when she gave me another cold reply, I just knew that something was definitely wrong with her.

So, I decided to go and see her, to see what’s really wrong.

I just hope it isn’t because of that fucker because if it is..

Hmm.

When I got to her house minutes later, I was not surprised at all to find her baby daddy sitting there. I scoffed when I saw him and I closed the door after I got in.

I could see that Lily wasn’t happy to see me, but I knew that by the time I was done with telling her all about the criminal she was with, she would definitely thank me so much.

“Lily. I have something to tell you, something I’ve been trying to tell you for a while. This devil right here..” I pointed to him before I continued. “Isn’t who he says he is at all. Do you know that he has been abusi-”

I didn’t have Lily’s attention anymore. Her baby daddy was showing her some pictures on his phone and I tried calling lily again, but he wasn’t listening to me again.

“This woman right here is Cayden’s wife. ” The baby daddy said and I went over to see the person that he was calling my wife.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

When I saw the woman, I recognized her as one of my old time flings. I’ve had sex with her, but that was a long time ago. I wondered why he was bringing it up in front of Lily.

“Why do you have these pictures? Tell me, you criminal.” I said to him and he feigned a look of fear. He’s so pathetic.

“You have to tell me why you’ve been bothering Lily, when you already have a wife, Mr Cayden.” He said and he crossed his hands against his chest out of pride. I was feeling like punching his face, but I just held myself. I didn’t want to create a bad impression of myself in front of Lily because I could see that she was already getting frustrated.

“What the heck are you saying? You’re lying.” I said and he met out a chuckle before bringing his phone out again. He brought out some random pictures that showed that I had a wife and I was expecting a child.

I suddenly got angry and he asked him to bring proper proof that shows that the woman in the picture is my wife, or I’d throw him out of the house. I was really thankful that Jacek and granny weren’t in because of the way that I was shouting.

The man brings out lots of pregnancy tests and my recordings with the woman in question and I told Lily that if I was really expecting a child and married, then why would I still chase her?
