Chapter 1 The Unassuming Life

Michael Walker's alarm blared, rudely jolting him awake from the clutches of sleep, while golden sunlight streamed through his bedroom window, casting a warm glow upon the scene. He groaned and stretched, trying to grasp the elusive fragments of a dream that were swiftly dissipating, like tendrils of mist vanishing beneath the caress of the morning sun. With a resigned sigh, he swung his legs over the edge of the bed, the cool wooden floor sending a gentle shiver up his spine as his toes made contact.

Rubbing the remnants of sleep from his eyes, he glanced at the clock, acknowledging that it was yet another day-a day that seemed destined to follow the same well-trodden routine, like the pages of a dog-eared book he had read far too many times.

Michael worked as a careful computer expert in a small tech company in the busy city. His job was making computer instructions and fixing problems. He liked how things fit together like a puzzle.

His clothes were simple: old jeans and a comfy shirt. He put on his shirt and jeans, and he felt ready for his work. He liked knowing what to expect every day.

His computer was like a magic tool, helping him create things on a screen. Before starting his work, he quickly ate a breakfast sandwich. This gave him the energy to start his day. He walked out of his house with a sandwich in hand, excited to do his work again.

His workplace is a few miles from his house so he took a cab to hasten up his movement and arrived at his usual time to his office gate. After a few knocks on the gate, the security greeted and opened the gate for him to pass through.

His co-workers, some deep in their own tasks, nodded and mumbled quiet hellos as he settled into his desk. The cubicles around him hummed with the sound of typing keyboards and hushed conversations. Michael appreciated the way he could blend in, a name among many, free from any need for special attention. The anonymity he had at the office was something he found comfort in. The spotlight was never his friend; he much preferred the shadows.

Andrea Deciding that I was going to skip a day at work so I could have first time sex with my boyfriend seemed like the most absurd decision I could ever make. Or at least that was what I'd thought. Until I'd walked in on my said boyfriend cheating on me with some redhead and decided to get my revenge by losing my virginity to his wealthy billionaire father instead. Crazy, right? Trust me, I know. Like that's not enough, things take a drastic turn for the worst after I realized I was in love with him and pregnant with his child. Before I could get the chance to come clean about every including my feelings formhim and the pregnancy, he finds out about my trickery. Alejandro's not one to condone being lied to and deceived so he immediately tells me he doesn't want to see me again. So what do I do? I pack up and leave the country. But it seems like the universe isn't done with us just yet. . . Alejandro I should have known better than to get involved with someone way younger than me. It was something I've never done before. But like the saying goes, there's a first time for everything. The first time I met Andrea I was captivated by her beauty. More than that there was this innocence in her that called out to me like a moth to a flame. I ignored all the warnings in my head and went after what I wanted. And what I wanted was her. Unfortunately what she wanted was revenge against my son. I told myself that it had to be some kind of mistake. There was no way she had been playing with my feelings and planning some silly revenge this whole time. But she had. It had taken a surprise visit from my son for me to find out her true intentions. Even then it had been hard to believe it. But I couldn't deny that she'd fooled me real good alright. So naturally I cut ties with her. And that's supposed to be the end, right? Wrong. Turns out that our story was never destined to end just there. . .
