Chapter THIRTY SEVEN

  I step out of the shower, wrapping a heated towel around myself after I finished scrubbing Aydems touch and scent from my body.

  I was furiously cleaning myself free from the sins I have and continue to commit.

  I wipe the pooling moisture that coats my mirror and I stare at my reflection. My eyes have dark circles around them and my cheeks look hollow of any life.

  I feel lost. 

  I have no idea what to do or what path to take. As I sat in the Uber on the ride home, I dialled Aces number multiple times and each time it went straight to his voice mail. It's been doing that all day and I don't know who to turn to for help.  

  I have no family or friends.

  I miss my son and with each passing day, my heart bleeds with sorrow.

  Gods!

  I miss the smell of his hair, the touch of his soft skin and the sound of him giggling. I would lay my life down on the line for him and that is why I've decided to come clean to Aydem.
