Chapter 5
“Mark, what are you doing here? Haven’t I told you to go here the day after tomorrow?” Aff asked her younger cousin who was holding a baby in his arms and a huge blue baby bag hanging on his shoulder.
“I know, P’Aff but I have to fly to New York today. I can’t just leave Arik in the resort.” Mark explained. He owns a resort in Phuket. The baby that he was holding suddenly began to cry.
“Come here, baby. Did you miss Mommy?” Aff asked sweetly to her almost 3-month-old son as she held him on her arms. Besides her, only her Dad and her cousin, Mark Prin, know about her son’s existence. The moment she found out she was pregnant, she immediately told her father about it. She was asked to move back to Bangkok but still, she refused to. Instead, she decided to move to New York and had asked her father’s help to keep her pregnancy a secret. Since Mark was still studying in New York back then, he accidentally saw Aff with a baby bump. Since she couldn’t hide the truth to Mark, she just told him to keep his mouth shut. Throughout her pregnancy, Mark and her Dad had kept on asking her who is the father of her child, but until now, she wouldn’t
reveal it.
“I have to go now, P’Aff. I need to check-in my luggage.” Mark said as he handed Arik’s bag to Aff.
“Thanks for taking care of my boy. Your dream motorbike is already delivered to your place.” Aff said with a smile on her face. She could not thank him enough for all the things she had done for her. Mark was so astonished to what Aff had told him.
“You’re joking, right?” Mark told her but he could not suppress his smile.
“No, I’m not. Well, if you don’t want it then I’d just ask my people to take it back.” Aff was teasing him.
“NO! Don’t do that! Thank you so much, P’Aff!” Mark said and gave his cousin a peck on the cheek. He pushed his luggage cart towards the entrance.
“I’ll see you in New York next week.” Aff told him while Mark waved back to her. She watched her cousin until he was nowhere in sight. Aff sighed as she looked at her son.
“It’s just you and me now, bald young man.” Her baby boy gave her a frown. Little Arik seems to understand his Mommy’s situation.
“Don’t look at me like that, babe. You remind me so much of your Dad with that look.” Aff kissed her son’s forehead so his frown would go away.

Before Aum arrived, his men were already searching around the airport. In a matter of a second, they had already located Aff. He was already informed where his wife was so the moment he entered the airport grounds, he immediately went straight to where Aff was; but he did not approach her immediately.
From afar, he was admiring his wife’s beauty. Until this very moment, he doesn’t know why he had fallen head over heels for her. He wanted to kill himself thinking how he had treated her during their wedding night; he had intently wished that he could go back in time and undo what he had done. During those times, Aum thought all women are the same. 5 years ago, before his marriage to Aff, Aum was supposed to get married to the woman of his dreams. They say it was a match made in heaven until Aum finds out the truth. The woman whom he loves was actually in love with another man. Money was the only reason why she wanted to marry him. Aum’s heart was shattered into pieces. He promised himself that he won’t love another woman again; he wanted to make any woman who comes his way to suffer as much as he has suffered. But promises are meant to be broken. His perception towards women changed when Aff came to his life. He hadn’t known her for so long yet he feels Aff was different. After their wedding, Aum was full of regrets but those regrets are starting to slowly fade away. What they had shared in Paris changed everything. After that night, he could not stop thinking about her. He wasn’t sure if it is just a strong physical attraction or it is really love. It is too early to determine.
A sudden gush of curiosity came to him when he saw his wife cuddling a baby on her arms.
A baby? Is it her own baby? Who could be the baby’s father? Could it be…me?! Questions came running through his mind endlessly. There was only one way to find out. Aum half-ran and half-walked as he made his way towards Aff. When he was about a few feet away from her, a swarm of reporters suddenly blocked his way.
“Mr. Atichart! Are you here to fetch Tiffany?” The reporter suddenly asked. Tiffany, who is a famous model and fashion designer, is Aum’s younger sister.
“No! I came here for my wife and my baby!” He shouted as he made his way towards the flock of reporter who was blocking his way. His men already cleared the way for him but still, the reporters were no match to them. They were buzzing like bees when they heard what Aum just said.
Aff immediately became aware of the sudden commotion. Reporters were almost everywhere and she knew she needed to flee as soon as possible. When she was about to ride a cab, she suddenly remembered she had no money with her. How she hated her husband so much! She was sure that Aum was the culprit.
“Do you know that I want to kill your Daddy right now?” She told her baby. Arik just gave him a cute smile. From a few feet away, Aff could see Aum coming towards her way; behind him was a rampage of reporters. Everything happened so fast. He was standing right in front her, so close. She felt his hands on her face then suddenly, without warning, she felt his warm lips locked to hers.
