BOUND BY THE HEARTLESS DE LUCA

🧁ARIA 🧁

" Red c'mon you have to get ready for school mommy needs to go to work early " I said to my son as I tried to wake him up .

" Ten minutes mom " he groaned as he snuggled closer to his pillow .

" Red ...! I screamed and he sat up immediately .

'" mom " he whinned with a crying face as I pulled the bed sheets off his body .

" Now get up little guy ...you need to get ready for school....I refuse to go to work late because of your Stubbornness ! I said pointing at him and his mouth opened and closed like a fish as he gave me an evil look .

" You don't scare me little guy ...now get up " I said and he got up sluggishly .

" This is not fair ...why do we have to go to school ? He asked staring at me with his preety Hazel eyes , something he inherited from his father .

I stopped my trail of thoughts as I stared at him .

" Momma ! He yelled from the bathroom and I chuckled softly.

I helped Red get ready for school ...then Quickly got ready for the office .

We Walked out together as I dropped some pancakes and tea in front of me ...he Dug in immediately and I just watched him eat .

I looked around the house sadly then rubbed my face .

I needed Groceries in the kitchen ,I was two months late on my rent already and the bills I owe ..kept piling up every single day .

Thinking of it now I felt sad about everything happening in my life .

I'd done everything to save my mom , but things only got worse at the long run ...She was diagnosed with cancer During my college years .... we'd done everything we could to save her ...

My parents weren't exactly rich people but after Dad died and mom got diagnosed ...I had to start fending for myself ....

And As for how I got red , that's a story I don't wanna think about .

" Mom ... I'm done Already " I heard my son's voice and I smiled . No matter the shit I've passed through , Red has been my biggest motivation to keep going , I love my Son till death .

He's currently five and would be turning six soon .

We got out and i board a taxi to his school immediately we got there , I bent to his level .

" Listen here Red danger " I said and he chuckled .

" No fighting okay ,I've told you time in Again that fighting is a very bad habit ...I don't wanna hear any complains from your teacher " I said and he smiled .

" I'm a good boy " he said and I rolled my eyes .

" Allow me to be the judge of that " I said and heard someone call my name .

" Miss Esposito " someone called and I smiled at her , It was Red's Class teacher .

" miss Devon ..how are you ? I asked and she frowned .

" Bye mummy " Red greeted as he ran into the compound .

" I'm not fine ...Miss Esposito your son is late on his tutition fees ,this is not the agreement we had when he started classes here ! " She said and I felt ashamed of myself .

" I know .....I know and I promise to ..." I trailed .

" Please save it miss Esposito ...that's how you've been promising since this school year , what about the child's father ....? She asked with concern .

"..... He's Dead " I said and her eyes soften .

" Oh my Goodness that just so sad dear " she said sadly .

" It's okay' I said and looked away .

" I will pay up Soon I promise " I said and she gave a nod .

I left the school and my heart hurt with each step I took ...

What do I do ? I'm slowly hitting my back on the wall ....I don't know how to get out of this mess I'm in .

I bit my lower lip as I swallowed down the lump on my throat my eyes stung with Tears .

" I'm not gonna give up Red I promise you , I promise you sweetheart " I said to myself sadly .

" Paaaaaaa! I heard the horn of a car and I jumped off the road .

" Hey you idiot can't you watch where you're going ? If you want to die ...don't die in front of my car ! I heard a taxi Driver yell Angrily as he cursed under his breath .

" I'm sorry " I managed to voice out stubbornly as he drove passed me .

What was I thinking ? What if I was hit by that car ,I can't imagine what my poor baby would've gone through .

I stopped a taxi and called the company where I work.

He looked at me from head to toes Wondering if I'd called the correct address .

I wondered why and he smiled .

" Sorry ma'am I actually thought you where a model ma'am ...you look very beautiful" he said and I ignored his compliment .

Being beautiful had brought me more trouble than luck anyways .
