My Stilettos - Ch. 5

From the last chapter

Alma and Max's marriage was like this a couple of years: Max was always out of the town, with his business, while Alma had her affairs with some men from the town:Harwood Clay, an artist from the neighbourhood, Nick Knack, Wei Keane, Shark Racket and many other rich men whom she met at different parties. 

Gossips started travel in the town and, of course, Max heard some of them.One year, two years ... more than five years.

And, one day he decided to confront Alma.He yelled at her and he demanded explanations for her behavior.Then she cried.It was her 30th aniversary and he forgot this thing.Immediately, he felt guilty and he apologized.She went to her room and locked the door.

Next morning, she discovered that she was pregnant.Probably with Wei's child.

Well, she never portraited her as a mother.Of course, babies were cute, but they were also noisy and ... a big responsability for two adults.Of course, she was not 30 years old, but she was still young and beautiful.

She thought about that all the morning and, finally, she made a decision: the baby will be the perfect reason for a reconciliation between her and Max.But first, she had to do something.To make her husband confident that it was his child.

So she spent that day (and night) with him.After so many weeks.She told him that she was sorry for all that happened in those five years.That she felt lonely and that she was young and reckless.And he listened her, telling her how sorry he was for yelling at her. 

A month later , she announced him about her pregnancy.He couldn't be happier!They were going to have a baby!She smilled and told him that she was happy too, with him.

Finally, she could be relieved.He will never find who was the real father of the baby and she fullified her duty as a wife.She'll give him a son and everything will be allright.Right after that he will be too busy with their newborn baby and she'll go back to her old life.

A few months later she had a beautiful son.She named him Carlos and, after two days in hospital, they went back home.Well, their son's skin colour was a little darker than his parents, but nobody seemed to notice that.Nobody except Alma, who also informed Wei about her pregnancy. 

After Alma rested a week, they organized a party for their son and they invited all their rich friends from the town.Of course, Wei came too and saw his son for the first time.He smilled when he saw that the baby had his skin tone.Also, he spent the night dancind with his lover.  

After the party, Alma resumed her life as it was before the birth of her son.She went to parties and met her lovers, spent the night with them, while Max was at home, with his son, trying to ignore the fact that his wife was at another party.She was young and, she had the right to spend some time partying, right? 

A year and a half later, Alma was pregnant again.By the age of 35 she already had three children: Carlos, Edith and Juan.Well, she made some countings and they weren't Max's children.None of them.One of them was Wei's child, a girl's father was Shark and the other one... she wasn't sure. 

She watched them playing in the nursery and she couldn't belive.Five years ago she was expecting a son, not sure that she was ready for the whole motherhood thing.And now she had three kids.

Well, they were lovely.Carlos was looking exactly like his father: his skin colour, his nouse and his eyes. Even Wei's hair colour.Well, Max was sure that when he was young and he had some hair, it was black, so he liked to say that Juan had some of his features.Alma simply smilled, saying that he was right.

Wei still visited Carlos, spending some time with his son and Alma, observing how intelligent the toddler was for his age.

She hired a babysitter, because, even now, after three pregnancies, when she had those three children, she still used to spend her night out and her days at the SPA.

Edith was sweet too.She also had black hair, but a lighter tone.She had her mother's beautiful eyes and lips.Her father visited her a couple of times, but not as frequent as Wei, when he visited his son.But she was Max's favorite, so it was ok.

Alma is now 35 years old, she has a husband and three children from three different men.What about her now?
