Keep Left

We spent months hiding out at Jacob’s place. It quickly turned into a year. It had easily become home and I loved how he accepted Yanis as his son. I was in the kitchen fixing dinner one night when I heard him call Jacob dad. Machen was still pissed at me, so he was taking it out on Yanis. He barely came by, but tonight he decided to show up per his mom’s urging. He was sure to tell me and I told him that I didn’t need to know his mom pushed him to come and see his son. Jacob pulled me from the room for a beather. The maids finished preparing dinner for us.

I didn’t stay mad long as he was between my legs sucking the frustration right out of me. I hadn’t realize he brought me to the play room. I found I love it here in this room. He did things to me I hadn’t thought about, yet alone experienced before. I liked when he punished me. It always felt good to be punished.

I was able to still work from home and so was he. We spent a lot of time in his office while the maids tended to Yanis’ needs as a growing boy. They were teaching him his lessons and getting him ready for school here in Paris. Jacob got his wish to have me on his desk with my legs on his shoulders. I saw stars that morning when he was done with me. I fell in love with him. I tried not to. I told myself it was just sex, but it was more. He listened when I was upset and he was a pleaser and pleased me every chance he got. He didn’t care who was in the room, if he wanted me to cum, he made me cum.

Once he was done feeding his face, he pulled my panties back into position. He pulled me up off our bed in the playroom. We returned to find him and Yanis drawing in the living room. He glanced at Jacob and I. I knew his eyes were on us. Jacob kissed me passionately as his hands grazed over my butt. I was really regretting wearing a dress today! Yanis giggled as he yelled, “Ew gross”.

Jacob went to his office after he drew a picture with Yanis. Machen stared daggers at him, but Jacob was unfazed. He winked at me and retreated to his office. I busied myself on my computer with emails. Yanis excused himself to the bathroom.

“How long you been fucking him?”

“Excuse me?”

“I can tell you’re sleeping with him”

“What does that have to do with you spending time with Yanis?”

“So you are sleeping with him Chloe? Really? He’s only using you to feul his desires. When he’s done, he’ll throw you away! Maybe he won’t get you pregnant first”

“You mean like you did?”

“Chloe,-“

“Save it Machen! The only thing you need to worry about here, is your relationship with Yanis. I’ve told you plenty of time you and I are over and have been for years. Who I choose to be with now, is none of your business!”

“She’s right Machen. I figured you’d pester her about us, but I didn’t think you would do it while you were spending time with Yanis. He’s happy and so is his mother. I have told you I won’t hurt them. I accept Yanis as my son and Chloe as the woman in my life. What have I done to you that I don’t deserve the respect I give you?”

“I-I-“

“It’s just about me being with Chloe right? Well, I don’t need to remind you what happens when you’re upsetting someone of interest to me, do I? If you want me to be strictly boss around you, I will. Leave Chloe alone. She deserves to have someone like me who loves her unconditionally. I can’t wait to make her my wife some day.”

“Oh Jacob!”

“You’re going to marry him?”

“Why not Machen? He’s a great guy and he loves our son.”

“You are as stupid as I thought you were! I told mom I wasn’t ready to come here. I will pick Yanis up from now on. I can keep him safe. I did you all those years. Tell him I’ll see him tomorrow”

“You tell him yourself Machen! If you’re going to break his heart, tell him yourself.”

He just looked at me. I know Jacob wanted to say something to him but he knew the risk of Yanis walking in on him doing so. I swallowed what I wanted to say to him, just as Yanis appeared. He brought his art book to show off.

“Daddy, look what mommy and I worked on. It’s a surprise for you and Mr Jacob”

He showed them the photos he drew and I touched up per his request and at his discretion. Jacob was first to speak.

“You drew all of us as one big family, that’s awesome Yanis”

“Yes, you and mommy because one day you’re going to marry my mommy and make me a big brother. And then daddy and Miss Pixie because he loves her and I saw them kissing like you and mommy do all the time.”

“Who’s this, Yanis?”

“That’s my sister Ava and this is grandma Lena and that’s grandma. I don’t know what my grandpa looks like, but I saved this spot too for him. I’m going to ask him to apologize to mommy for hurting her Mr Jacob. I know he will do it. Mommy says I got a face no one can resist. Right mommy”

“Right, baby.”

“Mommy why are you crying? Did I forget someone?”

“No, Yanis. Mommy was thinking about something else. I’m sorry I ruined your moment.”

“It’s okay mommy. Whatever it is, you’ll be okay. Mr Jacob will make it all better. Right dad?”

“What did you call him?”

“I called him dad, daddy. Why are you mad?”

“He’s not your dad! I am! You’re not spending all your time here anymore. Go and get your bag!”

“Machen, don’t take him like this. Nothing is wrong with him calling Jacob dad. Think about it, he sees him with me everyday.”

“You bitch! I never should’ve stuck my cock inside of you. But I couldn’t resist the easy fuck you were. I can’t believe I almost let myself marry you. I’m glad Pixie showed up when she did it it would’ve been too late. My son will not call another man dad! Ever! Do you hear, Chloe Dunn?”

“Machen you’re out of line using that language in front of Yanis”

“Daddy, how could you say those mean things to mommy? I don’t want to go with you. I want to stay with mommy and my dad, Mr Jacob! He always tells mommy how pretty she is. She always smiles when he is around. You make her sad every time! She use to cry when we lived in the other apartment because of you. I won’t let you be mean to my mommy!”

Yanis kicked him in the leg. In response Machen grabbed him by the collar of his shirt. Jacob tried to free Yanis and Machen punched him in the face, knocking him to the ground. I screamed as I tried to free my son who was turning blue. Machen slapped me across the face and shoved me to the ground.

“M-Machen please, you’re going to hurt him!”

“If I can’t have my son neither will you!”

I watched him choke the life out of our son. I fought him as best I could. I didn’t care he punched me or slapped me. I tried to free him, but to no avail. My son stopped breathing and even then he didn’t let him go. He tossed him to the floor like he was nothing. Jacob was still unconscious. I cried out as I saw his purple blue lips.

“No! Not my baby!”

I took him and ran to the car. I drove to hospital twenty minutes away. I kept him in my lap as I pumped his chest with one hand and drove. Every time I stopped I blew into his mouth. His purple blue tint turned it’s normal color. He wasn’t gone yet.

When I pulled up, I got out screaming and personnel rushed to me. They took him out of my arms and resumed CPR as he had no pulse. I told them he’d been unconscious for over twenty minutes, but I had been pumping his chest and blowing in his mouth the entire time. They told me that was good. I filed a police report against Machen. Child services were called.

I waited for hours to hear how he was doing. I forgot I left my car in the middle of the parking lot. Luckily, security moved it for me and brought my keys to me. I had left my phone and purse at Jacob’s, so I couldn’t call anyone. I borrowed a stranger’s phone to call the manor. Helga answered.

“How’s Jacob?”

“He just woke up Miss Chloe. He asked me to ask where are you?”

“I’m at the hospital twenty minutes away”

“He says he’ll be there shortly.”

“Thank you Helga”

I returned the phone and sat down. I knew I was risking my exposure, but my son mattered more than my dad, Phix. I waited another hour for an update. Jacob had joined me, but was rushed to the back to have his nose set. He rejoined me and sat quietly. Helga had told him what Machen did. I walked up to the desk to ask for an update and the nurse rolled her eyes at me. I asked to speak to her supervisor. When he came out to greet me, he was equally as rude.

“Sir, I simply want an update on my son. I don’t think I’m being unreasonable by doing so”

“Ma’am you’re in a hospital and we are slammed! We are working to give everyone here an update. Wait your turn please!”

“Are all your patients the President of the United States grandson?”

His face drained off all color. So did the nurse’s. I was led back to a room where I was thoroughly apologized to. I told them not to announce our presence in the hospital. I was given verbal confirmation no one would disclose that information.

I was greeted by ICU staff who told me Yanis was hooked up to life support and the next few hours would tell if he would make it or not, but he had been down too long in their honest opinion. They didn’t want to give me false hope, but things weren’t looking too great for him. They allowed me to go to his room. All the staff greeted me and were much nicer than the ER staff.

I sat at his bed praying he’d pull through. I was hopeful that he would make it since he turned his normal color. He was going to die for protecting me. I wept as events played through my head on repeat. Jacob joined me and hugged me as I continued to cry. I didn’t hold back. Officers came to inform us they had caught Machen. He was arrested at his home. Lena was hysterical as they took him away they disclosed. They gave their pleas of sympathy after looking at Yanis.

“Please, baby boy don’t leave mommy please!”

Jacob gave me my phone and purse. I called Raith and asked him to connect me to Miles. I added my dad, Mike to the call and my sister Emelia.

“Sis, what’s the matter?” Miles asked.

“Machen attacked us and he choked Yanis to death for kicking him, protecting me because he said really mean things to me. They said he isn’t going to make it. I wanted you all to see him before he left me for good.”

“Chloe! I’m going to kill him! Where is he sis?”

The police have him. He knocked Jacob unconscious. I fought him until he threw him to the ground lifeless. I drove twenty minutes away pumping his chest and blowing when I stopped for traffic and lights. He’s still not going to make it.

“Chloe, I’m so sorry. Are you at memorial or Methodist?”

“Memorial”

“Yuri and I will be there soon”

“C-Chloe, my little bug, I’m so sorry I can’t be there with you. Will you kiss him for Papa. I never got to meet him.”

“I will dad.”

“Chloe, Phix just boarded a flight to Paris. He will be there in 7 1/2 hours. Maybe shorter if he took the jet.”

“Miss Dunn the doctor is here”

“Hey doctor, I called my family”

“I’m sorry for your loss Miss Dunn. You all have my deepest condolences. We are going to turn off the ventilator. According to the monitors, it’s the only thing keeping him alive.”

“Thank you all for what you did for my son.”
