Cold Showers — Chapter 65

Sebastian rose to his feet. "Please let me explain." His voice came out almost like a whisper.

"There's nothing to explain, Sebastian. I regret accepting you into my life. Had I known, I should not have told you about my child. You were just using my innocent baby and me when you had your happy family elsewhere. A jerk and a bastard, that's what you truly are."

Sebastian ran his fingers through his hair, he couldn't believe they were back to this stage of their lives; A stage where she did nothing but call him silly names.

"Please trust me Jayda, I didn't know about Aaron until recently" He defended with tear-filled eyes and a broken voice.

"I will never make the mistake of trusting you again. The roses, notes, love text messages, gifts, chocolates, sweet gestures, everything was all a lie. You never loved me, you wanted to get into my pants and leave me broken so you can get your revenge on me for calling you names or throwing my heel at you."

"You know that's not true Jayda." Sebastian countered with a high pitched voice.

"I wanted us to spend yesterday together but you said you had an all-day meeting with the board of your company. Well, I had no doubt the meeting went well because I saw the meeting on the news not quite long."

At this point, a tear rolled down Sebastian's cheek. "I swear to you there is nothing between Katie and I. I only found out recently that Aaron is my son. He turned 3 yesterday so I took him to the mall to get new clothes and toys for him. I missed so much in his life and I'm trying my best to make up for the lost times."

"I know I should have told you, I didn't because I was scared you were going to leave me. Please don't leave me Jayda, I cannot live without you and our baby. Just let me explain the whole story to you, please."

"I'm disappointed in you for thinking so low of me. You don't know me at all Seb and neither do you trust me enough. If you had told me, do you think I would have stopped you from seeing or being with your son?" With tear-filled eyes, Jayda continued.

"If you know me well, you would have known how much I hate lies. You've done nothing but hurt me and I think we should put an end to all of these and go our separate ways."

Sebastian was almost approaching Jayda when she stopped him from coming closer to her by taking a step back.

"Please Jayda, I will do anything you want me to do but please, don't leave me. I love you and I love our child. The thought of being away from the two of you is killing me already. Please forgive me, don't leave me." He pleaded.

While trying hard to hold back her tears, Jayda pretended not to hear his plea. She was hurt beyond words and needed time to herself. She searched through her bag for her purse and reached for the black card he gave her weeks ago.

She placed the black card on his desk. "If you truly love me, you'll respect my wish by staying the hell away from me and my child." She said and then stormed out of his office.

Defeatedly, Sebastian plopped down on the chair behind his desk, he buried his face in his hands and cried till there were no more tears to shed.
