Chapter 37 Paralysing Pain

• "Your son never listened to me...I guess he took after me," Michelle said as she wiped the picture of her late husband... the man she compared Alex to all the time... The man she had hated for a long time... the man she shared a son with...
• She sighed deeply as her hand glided over his picture... He looked so handsome with such a smile on his face... she was instantly smitten by this smile when she had seen him for the first time when he came with his father so see her father... But she had become heartbroken when she learnt her sister would marry him instead of her... She was such a fool back then... A sad smile on her face...if she could go back in time, would she still marry him? Then she wouldn't have Alex? Her son who hated her now and wasn't close with her? Would she be able to hold her little baby in her arms? Her child... She dropped the picture inside her drawer and sighed deeply... There was no use crying over a past that couldn't be changed...
• What mattered the more was the present and how it was going to affect the future.... Her phone started to ring and it got her attention... Michelle sighed deeply and picked up her phone so she could see who was calling... It was Gina... She didn't need her complaints or tantrums right now. She wasn't in the mood. She was getting tired of it already and was contemplating looking for someone else... Caroline told her about Lisa, who was returning to the city to take over her father's company. Maybe she could invite her out for lunch....
