13 Too Good to be True

England was the place of paradise for April. Aside from Alex visiting his son from now and then, It was fantastic for her. Her nightmares actually lessen and she had never had an episode yet ever. It had been a month since she moved here to the Burghley Mansion.

Since Alex gave her a black card with no limit, she didn't hesitated to used it. It was his idea anyways and its not like its going to break his bank. So when Lauri is done tutoring Sky for the day, She brings her son and Lauri around England. She had been here before, just that she never paid attention to it. It was different now, She could go anywhere, anytime. Plus, Alex only visit 2 - 3 times a week and he never stays too. Which was okay for her, its not like he was a free man anyways.

It was enough for April to see the man that she loves for now and then. Just like the old times. So far, April didn't visited a psychiatrist either. She pretty much got it down, they all say the exact same things. As long as she drinks her medicine, she was good to go.

At the moment, she was having some juice in a cafe with Sky and Lauri. They just got done shopping again, so they went to sit down and rest for a while. April didn't have to worry about Sky too much, he wasn't fussy like the other toddlers. He was well behaved for his age. Most of the time, he was quiet. Plus, Lauri was a full time nanny when she is done tutoring him for the day.

April was getting bored. She thought that if she spend a lot of Alex's money, he would show up and complain. Quite the contrary, he doesn't even say anything. When he visits them, they would only greet and then he would give all his full attention to Sky. He asks him how his day was, what he learned today and if he wanted to play with him.

April couldn't really complain. Alex was an easy going guy and a responsible father. He takes good care of his son and even shouldered her, even though he's not obligated to. She loves him but hated him at the same time. April drunk her juice fast. It frustrates her. He was too good to be hated.

"Mommy, restroom." Sky interrupted her thoughts.

"Sure baby. Lauri, can you watch our bags?" April asked.

"Yes dear. I will." Lauri was looking at the window. She was eyeing some british man outside. April shake her head. Ever since they moved, Lauri seems to be interested with british man than americans.

April held Sky's hand as they walked towards the ladies room. After Sky was done, they walked back towards Lauri. On the way, April accidentally bumped into someone. It was a guy and he seems familiar. He was wearing a sunglasses, so she couldn't be sure. He had a light blonde hair, tall and had a sporty get up.

"I'm sorry, I didn't see you there. Are you okay?" He said.

"Yes, I'm okay. I'm sorry too." April smiled.

"That's good. Well, see you around." He turned and left the building.

April was puzzled, ain't he supposed to go to the restroom? Oh well. She shrugged it off and pulled Sky to their table.

When he got out of the building, he stopped and looked back.

"Looks like they actually went all the way that night." He chuckled and left.

*Sounds of glasses being shattered on the floor*

Alex sighed. His marriage wasn't going well lately. Right now, Francesca was throwing a fit. Alex was currently visiting her in their Mansion in Italy.

"Smettila, Francesca! Basta così." Alex pulled Francesca's shoulders to face him.

"There is nothing going between us, Its all for Sky. Why are you getting jealous over a mentally crazy woman? This is getting ridiculous!"

"Sono sconvolto! Why do you have to tolerate her? We talked about your son and your son alone! You didn't said anything about her at all! Even though there's nothing going on between you now, you did before! Ain't that why Sky is born?! I'm your wife Alex! Sei impazzito?!" Francesca slapped Alex in the face. She was so mad and angry at him. She just recently found out about him buying April a house, a car and even gave her a black card! Alex had hidden everything to her. She thought that his son and the bitch was just living on their mansion in England. That's why she never visited him in England!

Alex rubbed his cheek. He did deserved it, but he wouldn't change any of it. It was exactly the reason why he didn't told his wife. She always exaggerate things and it always gets out of hand. He didn't feel guilty at all, rather he felt responsible for April. He knew that she didn't deserve being mistreated. It was all Cefei's fault. Once he finds that bastard, he would interrogate and beat the hell out of him.

"Vai a quel paese!" Francesca said and stormed off.

Alex sighed. He didn't know what to do with his wife. Alex sat down in the sofa and rubbed his temples. What went wrong with them? It wasn't even Sky's fault. It all started when they got married. All they do is fought. If they don't, they spend their time in different countries. It had gotten worse when he found out about Sky. Divorce was already entering his mind. Yes, he still loves Francesca but what can he do? He had tried everything to please her, yet it wasn't enough for her. She will always try to find ways to argue. Did she not want him anymore? Alex sighed again and got up. He didn't want to stay in this mansion tonight. He took out his phone and called his driver.

"Get the car ready and call Raffaele to get the plane ready. I'm going back to England tonight." Alex ordered the person on the other side.

"Sì, signore". Replied the driver.
