"You are so smart boy" the principal smiled and and Elara sighed in relief
"Miss Anne,I want you in my office now" the principal said and dropped the telephone
Few minutes the door opened and a beautiful lady walked
"Ma'am" she greeted
"He is Andrew Blackwood he'll be in your class,you may take him to class" the principal instructed
"Ok ma'am" miss Anne replied and took Andrew's hand, the little boy waved at Elara and she waved back,it was obvious he was reluctant to part with her, this was the first time he'll be leaving her sight, reluctant is an understatement to how she feels right now
"I'll take my leave now" she smiled and stood and walked out of the office
She boarded a cab back to the Blavkwood's mansion and entered her room
"I'm missing him already" she pouted sadly, he's all she got and she've grown too attached to him for the past few years
Damien never acted like they were married,yes, he was forced to move in few weeks after she gave birth by his grandpa, not because the old man cared about them, he was only worried about Damien's reputation cos if the media were to caught a wind of his marriage, and if by any chance it was discovered he neglected his family it would be a huge blow to Damien's reputation
According to him,he won't let a trash like her ruin the reputation he built for many years,it got even worse when he moved in
They slept in different rooms and he even set restrictions for her and Andrew,he never acknowledged Andrew as his son and treated them like they were strangers, he complains about every single thing she did whenever he had the chance to
"Daddy don't like me?" Andrew would always ask, she already grew tired of having to give him different excuses each time he does.

"Mum" Andrew waved at Elara and rushed to hug her
"Baby" she called and pecked his two cheeks
"How was your first day" she asked
"I love it" he said in his babyish voice
"Ok, let's go home" she said and they left the school premises holding hands under the piercing gaze of the other parents
"Who's she"
"Doesn't look like she's rich, how could she afford to bring her child here"
"Gotta investigate her"..... And many more..
Elara didn't even care and walked past them,
"Let's take the subway" she said
" Okie" little drew smiled and they both walked down the street
In a car parked not too far Damien wound up the the window
"Let's go" he said and the driver drove off.

"Did you draw this too" Elara asked and Andrew nodded
"Whoa, you're such a genius" she said and ruffled his hair
"I'll draw mama too" he said and she smiled
"You want to draw me,awwn, I'm so excited" she gushed and he smiled proudly
"Mummy " he called
"Yes baby " she replied
"Can I go downstairs " he asked innocently
"Ummm..."
"Daddy isn't home now " he quickly cut her off and Elara bit her lips guiltily
"Ok fine,be careful ok" she said
"Okay" he smiled cutely and ran out holding a small notebook and a pencil.

"A,B,C,D,E,F,G...." Andrew sang cheerfully as he walked down the stairs, he's so engrossed that he didn't see Diana coming and he bumped into her
When he looked up he was met with a cold glare from her making him shiver
"You dumb thing, are you blind" she fired angrily
"You're just as stupid as your mother right "she asked and bent to his level with a wicked grin

Elara's had just finished folding the laundry and was cleaning up when Andrew entered
"You're back?, that was fast" she said not looking back as she was engrossed in what she was doing
"Hmm" Andrew hummed and she frowned slightly, the cheerful boy she knew would never reply her that way,so she turned to face him
"Is something wrong baby" she asked leaving what she's doing to go sit beside him
"Baby,talk to me, did something happened" she asked again caressing his cheeks
"You foolish thing,how dare you" she heard Diana yelled at someone from outside and she got it instantly
"Was it your aunty?" She asked and he nodded
"Oh, I see, you don't have to take what she said to heart,ok, she didn't mean any of those,ok" she said and he nodded innocently
"Now give mummy a big smile" she said trying to cheer him up and it worked, he smiled brightly
"That's my boy" she said and pecked him
"Would you like some pasta" she asked
"Yaey" he jumped excitedly
"I want patsa" he mumbled childishly and Elara smiled
"Ok mummy would cook pasta for you, I'll be back shortly" she smiled and walked out just in time to bump into Diana
Of course she knowingly came out to meet her, she can tolerate anything, but she doesn't joke with her son
"Seems like my sis in law is here to lecture me" Diana smirked
"He's just a child and he has nothing to do with any of these,if there's anyone who should be blame for all these then it should be me,I won't say this again,mess with my son again and I'll make you pay dearly for it, try me " she warned coldly and walked past her knowingly brushing her shoulder against her
"I see you've grown some wings, I'll soon clip them for you bitch " Diana seeted and stormed out angrily.
