Capítulo 9: Confusion at the Birthday Party! part 1 ( Rewriten)

Alex PVs

One hour to go before the party starts Lala running from one side to the other, all the preparations are almost ready the guests are already arriving in force, grandma Lala wanted a great party, in her opinion, it was average, in my opinion, it's great, but who am I to say anything, when she goes into hurricane mode no one can stop her as grandma mary says hahaha.

Arriving at the place I saw many children that most of them I don't know, there are some babies too, this party is more for children and adults than for babies, my father still hasn't arrived nor his wife June, grandma Mary is very anxious and doesn't let go of me no way, it looks like something happened to the father, I'll watch closely to see what's going on here.

Maria PV

I got a call from my daughter-in-law June, but she says she won't be coming because she doesn't want to celebrate the motherfucker's birthday. I commented to Lala. "This is absurd Lala! This woman cannot blame my grandson for my son's mistakes!"

Annoyed Lala says, "That woman is crazy, I told you, Mary, not to let little Earl marry her!

You never listen to me, it's always been that way!"

Mary asks Lala "Are they coming? I hope Earl doesn't invite this woman, it's obvious she doesn't like Alex!"

"I'll call her house to find out. Give me a minute! I'll be right back, I agree with you Mary, I hope she doesn't come because if she tries something funny with my Alex, I won't answer for myself!" Lala, who runs into the next room to make the call, bumps into Earl.

Earl PVs

After Russia my life was never the same, I don't know how to raise a child alone, my wife hates him, if it wasn't for my mother to take care of him, I would have freaked out.

After resolving my issues with June I returned to the service, maybe here I can find myself and resolve the chaos in my heart.

Things are getting worse at home, June hates my son and doesn't accept him, which always causes problems for Mom and Lala, the worst thing is that I can't do anything to stop it because I feel guilty for all the harm I've caused him.

It's been a year now, things are getting back on track, I'm coming home to celebrate Alex's birthday somehow, I know all about Alex's first year of life, from conversations with my mom he's doing great, he's a great kid full of life, thankfully his birth didn't affect him in any way.

After arriving in town, I go to June's house.

June PV's

Even after a year I still can't forget what happened, I can't stop hating the Count's son this crap came into the world to destroy my happiness, my future! How will I accept? It's impossible for me as a woman to accept that kind of humiliation.

Earl is already here at home, getting ready for this damn party, for me it's not just a party, for me, it's another way for them to make fun of me, this bastard shouldn't live in the same place as me.

I will not congratulate abortion! Not as long as I live, I don't want to look at the devil's spawn ever again!

Suddenly, Earl screams from below. "June! Come on, the party's started! You're ready, if it takes longer we'll be late!"

June picks up the phone and calls Mary telling her she's not going and also tells her what she thinks of the devil's spawn.

Walking down the stairs in anger and disgust, clouded with rage and blinded by all her judgments, she tells Earl, "I'm not going to your bastard son's party with a street bitch! It's not enough that you humiliate me betrayed me, Earl?

What more do you want from me?

Do you want me to pretend to be his mother, sing happy birthday, and put a green hat on my head?"

Earl, surprised by June's outburst, doesn't react for a while until he finally understands what June said, so he responds. "I can't believe you're saying these things! June he's a child, an angel! why do you say these things!

What did he do to you? Is he innocent, is it fair that he pays for my mistakes?"

June, upon hearing his words, gets even crazier and screams. "HE IS YOUR CHILD!! YOURS AND HIS!! A LIVING PROOF OF WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO ME! A PROOF OF YOUR INFIDELITY AND COWARDLY!! Every day, he's there!... When I look at him, I see everything we could be! But that will never happen, it kills me little by little, It hurts! It hurts so much I can't breathe!"

"June... I didn't know you had these thoughts, I'm sorry about my past, but that doesn't change the fact that he's just an innocent baby and free of these things that involve you and me, he's a part of me.

It's my past that I can't deny or erase, I don't ask you to like it, just accept that I have a son! After all, this is my son and always will be, these things cannot be denied! The blood that runs in my veins, runs in his too!" says Earl with regret and resolution.

June looks at Earl with determination and then says, "Choose! Choose him or me! Come on Earl either you go to that party and hang out with the BASTARD or you stay here and with me, if you walk out the door you don't have to come back! I swear! I will hate you for the rest of my life!

Even in death, I will be a vengeful ghost that will haunt you for the rest of your life!"

Earl looks at June in disbelief at what she was saying, after making sure she meant it. Earl responds. "Then you leave me no choice. A father... No! No man would ever abandon his son for any reason, if I choose you, the man you love would be no more, Earl no more, don't ask me for the Impossible, the only way to separate me from my son would be death!" After those words, Earl walks out the doors and doesn't look back.

June opened her mouth several times and didn't know how to respond to Earl's words, deep down she knew he couldn't abandon his son, but that's exactly why she loves him, even with all the hurt in her soul.

June knew that what she didn't dare ask was if Earl loved young Alex's mother, deep down she's afraid! Fear of the answer of the husband she loves so much.

In the end, the boy was just an excuse for June not to face reality, the man she loves so much, may even like her but doesn't love her back, and little by little she started to notice the differences between liking and loving, and that's it. Scared her.
