he’d never seen. He wanted to see his boy. Wanted to know what he looked like. If he’d been well fed and clothed. Yes, he knew the time would come when he would have to take steps to contact his boy’s adopted parents. Meet him. But right now, his wounds were still fresh. He wouldn’t want his son and his adopted parents to see the bitter man he was at the moment. All he needed to do was to shake off his anger, his guilt. But no matter what he did, his thoughts veered to the same wound and there was nothing he could do to prevent it. Aron sighed, shook his head, and immersed himself in work like he’d been doing since his arrival.
The next day, he switched on the channel in his room. He’d deliberately not gone to the office, so he could watch the show uninterrupted. The host was a brunette in her mid-thirties. As always, she began with the punch line for the show. “And now it’s time to watch yet another incredible episode of Incredible Stories. Today, we’re in talk with Ethan Reece who is nine years old, his adoptive parents and birth mother.”
Much to Aron’s shock, the camera panned to Dayna’s face. The stab through his heart might not have been real but it felt just as painful as if someone had just put a knife in him.
She looked heartbreakingly beautiful. Next to her sat a boy, who without a doubt was a product of her genes, as well as his.
He wanted to switch off the TV and not compound his misery, but Aron couldn’t pull his gaze away from his son. Al diablo con ella ! What the hell is she doing? Why do this? And why ask him to watch? What did she hope to expect from such an act?
The host of the show introduced all the parties and talked to Ethan who acted surprisingly confident and charming for his age. They appeared to be seated in the Reece family’s living room, and in the background, he could see pictures of Ethan as a child. A three year old, wielding a baseball bat. A six year old, on a bicycle. A nine year old, with his friends. Every picture was a reminder of all the things Aron had missed. He would never get this time back and nothing this conniving woman could do would ever convince him to forgive her.
Surely, she’d sent him the note in the hope he would see his son and discover how she was making an attempt to erase her mistake. Did she think it would be so easy to wipe away the past?
“So Dayna, tell us, what made you decide to give up your child?” the host of the show asked. “I know that it’s a hard decision for any mother who is faced with the choice of either raising the baby herself or giving it up.”
Dayna cleared her throat.
To Aron’s surprise, she was holding hands with Robin, Ethan’s mother.
“Yes, it was a hard decision. I did consider keeping Ethan, although I wasn’t in touch with his father. He didn’t know about the child because he’d already moved away and we were not in touch. I know in my heart that he would have come back and supported us if that is what I wanted—but…” Aron could see Robin squeezing Dayna’s hand. “But I was five months pregnant when I found out that our baby, Ethan, had a congenital heart defect. He had a hole in his heart.”
Aron felt his heart stop. What? Increíble! Why hadn’t she told him about this? Of course, he didn’t give her the time to, had he? When he discovered the truth, he wanted to get as far away from her as possible. He leaned forward, eager to hear the rest of it.
On the show, Jeremy ran a hand over Ethan’s head in an affectionate gesture.
“So, what happened? That must have been devastating news,” the host asked.
“It was. I was eighteen, with no prospects of finding a good job, since I was barely out of high school, and I was told that my child would need regular hospital visits to monitor his progress and he might need surgery when he was around two. After that also, he would need to be checked every few months. The sheer cost of that—I knew that I couldn’t afford it. My
