Chapter 43 - You`re my woman now
Sometimes you don''t notice certain alterations only because you refuse to. When you love someone,
you only see the supetively good. When you have wanted and always yearned for a parent''s love
and it finallyes along. You couldn''t be happier, a short childhood dream archived. From all the
father''s days that were missed. All the father''s days that made De miserably dread the thought of
going to school. Not like Mother''s day was any better with a mother like Marc. De was oblivious
not a lot of things and she didn''t see anything wrong. At the moment she just wanted to convince
herself that she did not feel anything for Andre and move on with Spencer.
"He took me in and basically has been there for me ever since.." Spencer exined.
"But why didn''t you tell me when we first met, now I''m starting to think my father put you up to courting
me?" She replied.
"Mhm, it was a coincident. A very beautiful coincident." Spencer added. Looking around thevish
restaurant that he had chosen to take De out to. The birthday party had passed and now it was time
for him to spend some alone time with De... with the little brat.
De blushed at his response.
"So do you n on going back to LA, long distance rtionships don''t always work out-" She exined
as she cut her steak, taking a sip from her red wine.
"We''re doing business with the Levetté''s so I ought to be here. I''m really just happy with what we have
and I don''t want to go anywhere far from you…" He put his hand on top of hers. "We will make this
work."
"That makes me really happy, Spencer and again thank you for being civil at Leo''s party. I know with
Andre there, it must have been tense. You will see him more often because of Leo so we just have to
deal with that."
"I don''t mind honestly, you''re my woman now. I won''t have a problem with him as long as he know his
ce as Leo''s father and nothing more…"
De couldn''t help but adore that he looked so breathtaking in a ck Armani suit. It shaped his lean
muscr figure. The tattoos on his neck going unnoticeable. No tie and those zing green eyes
staring back at her with some sort of need. There was obviously sexual tension, she didn''t know how it
would feel to be with a different man. It excited her. It shaped his lean muscr figure. The tattoos on
his neck going unnoticeable.
"I''m your woman." Deughed giving him a genuine smile. "You''re very possessive, Mr Hurst." She
teased.
He smirked.
"I can''t help it Mrs. Hurst to be, again De you look very beautiful."
"Not again Spencer." She blushed, he had beenplimenting her all evening. Concerning Mrs Hurst
to be, they had only been official for a few weeks that would be too fast besides she didn''t see herself
getting married again. She wanted a boyfriend but not marriage. She knew how much weight it
weighed on people. Sometimes people are happier when not married besides marriage was merely a
title and no one was loyal nowadays there was absolute no use for it. You could be walking around with
someone''sst name and a ring on your finger while they cheat on you... wearing their marital ring as
well and they would stille home and smile at you. It''s oddly scandalous how society has
normalized cheating and being unfaithful.
Spencer and De continued with their mild sweet conversation. He asked if she wanted toe to
Portugal with him, it was only for business.
"I have a son.. Spence and I have never left him alone." She exined. Spencer gave her a
disappointed look, she found it adorable, unlike Andre who always kept his face clean shaven, De
loved Spencer''s tiny stubble. It made him look sexy..
"That''s why Andre is here right, to share responsibility." Spencer persuaded. This only left De
thinking really hard, she was conflicted.
"It''s just a two day trip, when we first met, I told you traveling was my heartfelt hobby and I want to be
able to share that with you."
"I know but-" She was cut off.
"This is my first serious rtionship De. I never ever see a woman twice and I just want you to know
that you''re really special and I just want to show you how gentleman treat their woman right..." He said
softly mocking Andre.
"Can''t Leoe too, I mean it can be on the weekend."
Spencer failed to dismiss his aggravated look as he clenched his jaw. He was being genuine, he really
liked De.. he liked howpassionate she is. How caring she is and so considerate, her being
beautiful was merely a bonus but Jesus Christ. He could not stand her baggage, it was too much. He
couldn''t stand the little Andre looking brat and he couldn''t stand Andre the man himself. He was willing
to push all that aside for her but sometimes, it just pissed him off. They would never have any piss in
their rtionship.
De noticed his expression and the way he pulled his hand away from hers, wiping the corner of his
lips with a white napkin.
"Spencer, if you don''t like my son. I''m afraid, you''re wasting your time and this won''t go anywhere. You
should know he is my main priority whether his father is there or not. He might have a father already
but I expect you to at-least try and have some sort of friendship with him." De said in a very serious
tone, even her smile had disappeared.
"I know.." Spencer sighed. "For you I will try, I''m just not used to kids, I have always been an only child-
"
"I don''t mean to be rude but I just had to make that clear." She responded.
"I understand." He gave her a genuine smile.
"Tell me more about Leo, I mean if we''re going to make this work you might as well-" He said softly, this
made her immediately smile before she started talking about all her memories with her little boy, his pet
peeves and everything else.
On the other side.
Andre and Leondre were making a five hundred piece puzzle.
"Dad, I''m doing all the work.." Leoined. His dad immediately put his phone down.
"These are a lot Leo, we won''t finish this today.." Andre exined. He had been on his phone being

informed of Spencer''s move. Of course he had someone follow Ad only for her safety, he respected
her privacy but he cared enough for her not to get hurt.
"If you helped me, we would finish.." Leo countered.
"Alright bud." Andre said as he started searching for the next simr looking puzzle. It was quiet until
Leo voiced out.
"Dad?"
"Yes?" He answered a smile on his lips. He could never get used to Leo acknowledging him as a father.
It was an odd but satisfying feeling.
"Do you love mom?" He asked.
Andre didn''t even have to think twice.
"With everything I have…"
Leo looked up at his dad. Andre was still baffled by the simrities. His son''s blue eyes like his own
flickered at him with curiosity.
"I know she loves you too." Leo said immediately going back to the puzzles. A feeling of happiness,
profoundly found its way in his chest. There was hope for them, he just had to show her that he had
grown matured now and took a stand for his wrongs and more than anything he wanted to be with her
with the aim of only making her and their son happy.

Marc had been fighting with her husband, she had not thought clearly when she brought Lyle to the
birthday party and introduced De as he daughter. Lyle had straight up went and told his father while
they were having supper. She had clearly not thought to tell her husband first and this had feuded a
disaster as Gerald went to sleep at work.
Hisst words rang in her head as guilt filled up within her.
"I thought I knew you Marc but I don''t. You have made me realize that I have been living a lie. I won''t
believe anything you said because you''re a filthy liar. How do you even hide a twenty-something year
old daughter? I just need to think.. away from you. I don''t want to worry Lyle so we cannot show him
that we''re in conflict with each other. You have ruined my trust Marc when all I did was love you
regardless of you being a hooker.. I took you out of the streets and you failed to tell me this one thing..
you know what don''t call me, I will be at the office."
She had so many regrets. Garreth called her wicked, her husband too. She was aware that she
deserved it and that day hade-
where she would reap what she sow.
