My One Night Stand

"Why did you ask me to meet you here?" Heather asked Helena as she stared at the figure in her sight.

"Lovely sister,you just arrived and you are going straight to the point. Be calm and let's have some fun." Helena said to her as she drank from her cup.

"Cut the crap. I know you didn't call me out just to have fun." Heather said while rolling her eyes.

She really didn't want to be here. She was meant to be out there trying to raise money for her sick mom.

"I know your mother is sick and you need money. In fact,you are desperate for money and I have just the right job for you." Helena said twirling her glass in her hands.

Heather eyes lit up hearing her but it soon went back to normal. The Helena she knows would never help her.

"Why do you want to help me and why do I have to trust you?" Heather asked obviously wary about such an enticing offer.

"I knew you would ask me but it's really not me who wants to help you but my mom. She took pity on you and asked me to help you. She knows you won't accept her money." Helena said as she glanced at her with a mischievous smile.

"Why does she wants to help me? I know she detests me and my mom." Heather said while folding her arms.

"I don't know why but I guess this is the least my mom and I could do after taking Herr husband and your dad." Helena said innocently.

Heather almost flipped listening to her self-righteous statement. She took a deep breath before asking,

"What do you want me to do?"

"I only need you to attend a banquet with me. The pay is quite high and it would be more than enough to pay your mother's treatment." Helena said knowing fully well that Heather would accept.

Her mother was her weakness.Heather accepted it without giving it a thought.

"That's awesome. You made the right choice but please you won't be able to attend the banquet dressed like that." Helena said with slight disdain and mockery.

Heather frowned hearing what she said. She actually felt that what Helena said was right. She agreed to Helena for the first time in their lives.

"Thankfully,I knew you would come dressed like a countryside bumpkin so I prepared a dress for you. You can change in the bathroom." Helena said passing a bag to her.

Heather walked in the direction of the bathroom and failed to see the sinister smile on Helena's lips. Helena smirked as she watched her entering the bathroom.

"Soon,you will be destroyed Heather." Helena chuckled darkly.

Heather came out a few minutes all dressed up and Helena's eyes showed jealousy which she didn't bother to hide.

Heather was to beautiful to ignore. In spite of all the times Helena had gone under the knife,she still couldn't be compared to Heather. Heather was really beautiful.

Normally, Helena is a beautiful lady but once Heather is placed in the room,she outshines her.

Helena gritted her teeth before saying,

"Let me do your makeup and your hair."

Heather sat down and in no time,they were done and prepared to leave for the party which was holding in the hotel they were both at.

"The banquet is taking place at this hotel and I would implore you to behave yourself." Helena warned. Heather rolled her eyes at her.

"Do I look like a child to you?" Heather asked sarcastically.

They both walked into the large hall and all eyes turned to them but the eyes were mostly focused on Heather.

On seeing that, Helena folded her fists tightly. She took a deep breath so as not to foil her plans.

"Let's go to the bar." Helena said dragging Heather along. Heather allowed herself to be dragged because she really felt uncomfortable being stared at by the sleazy old men.

"Just follow my lead and remember, I'm paying you. Your mother needs it." Helena reminded her.

The party went on smoothly and many young men had come to make small talks with Helena and at the same time leered at Heather.

Heather took a glass of wine to calm her anxious mind when a server approached them. Helena let out a smirk seeing her take the wine.

Heather felt weird immediately but it was only for a short time. They continued entertaining people.

Thirty minutes later, Heather felt hot. She was really uncomfortable.

"I need to use the restroom. Where's it?" She asked Helena and Helena gave her directions back into the room,not the restroom.

On entering the room, she tried looking for the closet but couldn't find it. She only met a bed but she felt it was better.

She still had her reason and she found her way into the bathroom. She stripped and went under the cold shower. She heard noises from the room but didn't give it any thought.

"Wow,you are sexy." She heard a voice and swiftly turned around. She was stunned not because of someone was present but because of how handsome the stranger was.

Weirdly, staring at him,she felt a sensation in her stomach. She felt a pool of water in her legs. Without thinking,she slammed her lips on his and they engaged in a very wild kiss.

"Easy, kitten. We have all night to ourselves." The stranger said.

He laid her on the bed as he climbed atop her. He planted kisses from her forehead and at the same time, fondled her boobs.

He sucked on it as though his whole life depended on it. Heather didn't know how but he was already standing naked. He positioned himself before thrusting deep into her middle.

They went at it for a long time and slept off with his rod still buried in her.

********

Next day

Heather woke up and she was the only one present in the room. Yesterday's events came to her and she was left devastated. She couldn't believe that trusting Helena resulted into her losing her dignity.

She glanced around and found a cheque with a name card showing , 'Kilian'

She didn't know what to do and why the man left a cheque but she took it anyways. Her mother needed it.

On getting to the hospital, Heather was met with the shock of her life.

"What do you mean by she's dead. I had told you that I would get the money then why did she die? Why didn't you start treatment on her? See I have the money." Heather questioned the doctors in tears.

It took a long time before they were able to stabilize Heather. She buried her mother three days later secretly. No one knew her mom was dead.

For the next two weeks, she lived her life in solitude and way from the world. She then made up her mind to leave the country that caused her nothing but sorrows.

As if life couldn't have enough of her,she found out she was pregnant a day to her flight. She laughed out loud seeing the pregnancy test.

********

Five Years Later

A slender and graceful figure could be seen walking out of the airport terminal holding the hands of a very cute five year old.

"Spain, I'm back. Come on baby, let's go pay our respects to your grandma." The figure who turned out to be Heather said to her son.

"Mom, I'm back to the place which caused me nothing but sorrows but I didn't come weak. I'm a successful fashion designer. That's all you ever wanted right but it's a pity you are not alive. Meet my son,Damien." Heather said as she dropped flowers on her mother's grave.

"Say hello to Grandma." Heather said to her son.

"Thank you for giving birth to such an amazing woman, grandma." Damien said fluently while also dropping flowers.

"We will be back mom but there's something we have to do. Bye mom." Heather said and walked out with Damien.

"Damien, mommy would be going to have a business talk with the company tomorrow. Can you stay home alone?" Heather asked as she glanced at her son worriedly.

"Yes of course. Go do your thing. I'm not a child,am I?" Damien replied. He was really tired of his mom treating him like a child.

"Alright,I would go change." Heather said heading to her own room. She dressed up professionally and brought out the company's card. She looked shocked seeing the card.

It read Killian,CEO of Scott's Clothing. Could it be the same person? She asked herself as she wished it wasn't. She would have compared the cards but she had misplaced the one she had with her but she could never forget the person she spent the night with five years ago.

What would she do if they were the same? She hoped it was a coincidence as she drove towards the company.

She arrived at the company in few minutes time as she walked shakily into the building. All through the ride,she was praying fervently that it should be a coincidence.

"Good day, I'm Heather Stone and I have an appointment with your boss," she said politely to the receptionist who smiled at her.

"Alright,hold on a sec,let me confirm," she responded as she checked through the computer.

"Oh,yes,you have an appointment, alright, the CEO's office is on the last floor,you should ride in the elevator as it would save time," the receptionist said to her with a smile.

Heather nodded politely as she was about to walk away.

"Ma'am,I love your designs," she said and Heather turned to her with a grateful look as she entered into the elevator.

"Wow, she's so pretty, I can't believe I met the renowned designer, I'm so lucky today," the little receptionist squealed as she posted it on the company's group chat.

As she got out of the elevator, Heather walked slowly to the office. She didn't know what fate awaited if she opened the door and she only hoped it worked in her favour.

She knocked on the door out of courtesy and she heard a gruff voice telling her to come in. She took a deep breath before she entered into the office.

Once she entered into the office,she was stunned speechless as she saw what was going on in the office.

There, the CEO was berating the secretary who stood at the side with her head lowered. She was being reprimanded for the wrong she had done.

"I'm sorry,carry on,I didn't see anything,I would be back once you are done," she said speedily as she tried to leave the office but she was stopped by an authoritative voice.

"Stop!!" He yelled and she stopped in her tracks.

"Face me," he ordered and she closed her eyes before facing him. She was stunned on seeing who it was.

"It's you!!" They both yelled at the same time. Heather got to her senses as she tried to escape but she was pulled back into the office.

"Sky, please give us privacy," he said and the lady bearing Sky did as told but not before giving a death glare to Heather who was speechless.

'Hello, I'm not the one who asked you to go something bad causing you to be reprimanded,' Heather thought to herself as she watched Sky leave. It wasn't her fault that the secretary was not professional.

"What the heck are you doing here?" He asked as he stared at the petite lady in his presence.

Heather took a deep breath before she said in a professional voice, "I'm the designer you want to work with."

Killian subconsciously let go of her as he heard what she said.

"Are you playing with me right now?" He asked not believing a word she said.

Heather was about to flip but when she recalled that she was the one who reached out for corporation,she calmed herself down.

"I'm really not lying, I'm the designer, it's fine if you don't believe me but your receptionist can't make a mistake,can she?" She asked at the verge of tears.

She wondered why he couldn't believe her.

"That aside,I remember you, how's your mom?" He asked and Heather gave him a suspicious look. How did he know about her mom?

"How do you know about my mom?" She asked with suspicion laced in her voice.

Killian choked as he wondered what answer he would give her.

"That's because,ehm,I did a little bit of investigation on you," he said with a cheeky smile.

Heather's mind was too far gone as she realized this was her baby's father. How could she tell him they had a son together?

"My mom died before I could make it to the hospital that night," she said calmly but Killian was rooted in shock.

'How could she say it that way? She sounds so calm,' he thought to himself as he stared at the woman he slept with five years ago.

"I'm deeply sorry for your loss," he said to her in a low tone but she didn't take it to heart because her next words were quite shocking.

"That's not a problem, she was destined to die anyways," Killian looked at her as though she was an alien.

"I have something to tell you," she said. She had decided to tell him that he had a son.

Yes,she wanted to bring the both of them together. She wanted them to be a big family. She did crush on this one night stand of hers.

"What do you have to tell me?" He asked as he took a seat. If he had known,he wouldn't have sat down because he wouldn't be prepared for the shock which was going to come to him.

"I have a son,he is five years of age," she muttered calmly.

"Oh, that's nice, it's good to have a.....," His voice trailed as he stared at her in disbelief.

"You have a son? Is he mine?" He asked calmly but he was far from being calm. He was fidgeting on his seat at the moment as he awaited her answer.

"Yes," she said simply and Killian could feel fireworks explode inside of him.

He had successfully become a father as a result of what happened five years ago.

"How is he?" He asked. He wanted to know everything about his son.

"He wishes to meet his father," Heather said as she stared right into his arms.

For the first time, Killian could feel an adrenaline pump inside of him. He could feel the excitement building inside of him as he stared at Heather with bright eyes.

"I have a son,I have become a father," he said whilst chuckling.

"I can't believe this,can I see him?" He asked Heather and she nodded affirmatively which made him stand up in excitement.

He hugged Heather out of impulse and Heather was frozen in her seat. She couldn't believe that the man who she loved could hug her.

Call her stupid or anything but she loved him even though she had only met him once. It was love at first sight for her. It was a crazy crush which blossomed into love.

"I'm so sorry,I was just too excited," he said as he let go of her. She nodded in understanding. At least he had hugged her,she was able to have few seconds of hug from him.

"When can we leave? I want to see him," he said in a childlike tone and Heather chuckled.

"But we haven't discussed the contract yet,I would love to work as a design consultant in your office," she said, determined to win the contract.

"Forget about the contract for a while,we can come back to discuss it,I just want to see my son if that's fine by you," he said and she forcefully nodded. She couldn't believe he would be enthusiastic after hearing that he had a son.

She was prepared to use various methods to convince him,but it didn't look like it was necessary anymore as he was fully prepared to give her the contract.

"Do you really want to see him?" Heather asked once more in order to be sure he was willing.

"Of course, I should be asking if he would be willing to see me," Killian pouted making Heather speechless.

She wondered if she came to the right company but standing in front of the man who she had secretly crushed on, she was sure she hadn't made a mistake.

If she hadn't,then why was he behaving like a kid with his lips pouted. Taking a glance at his lips,she was tempted to kiss him but she had to maintain a professional attitude or she might scare off a prospective lover.

"What does he like? I would have my assistant prepare it,I only hopes he accepts me as his father," Killian said already panicking. He seemed to had let go of the charade of cold man and put on the garment of a panicking father.

"He would like anything as long as you were the one who bought it," Heather said as she received a notification.

It was her son,who was asking when she would be back home?

'Soon,' she replied to him almost immediately. Her son was her utmost priority and she attached great importance to him.

"I would drop my address with your assistant,I have somewhere to be,you can come later in the night," she said as she stood up elegantly.

It was time for her to fight for her right. She would go meet Helena.

"Alright, why don't you just drop it with me,my assistant is out on an official task," Killian offered.

She pursed her lips slightly before she said, "I'll have to trouble Mr. Killian then." She wrote her address on a paper before passing it to him.

"There's no trouble Miss. Heather," he also said. This was the first time they both spoke professionally in the past thirty minutes.

She pursed her lips slightly before she said, "I'll have to trouble Mr. Killian then." She wrote her address on a paper before passing it to him.

"There's no trouble Miss. Heather," he also said. This was the first time they both spoke professionally in the past thirty minutes.

"Would be looking forward to working with you, I would come with a contract," he said and Heather nodded politely.

As long as her son could get his father,then there was nothing she needed to worry about.

She calmly strode out of the office under his secretary's jealous gaze. Killian stared at her with a deep look as he watched her leave through the glass window.

"I finally found you, you wouldn't escape like you did five years ago," he said deeply.

His mind went to his son whom he had never met and he felt inexplicably nervous.

"What if he does not like me?" He asked himself as he pursed his lips giving him an enchanting glow. He was so handsome. If any lady could see him right now,then there was no doubt they would fall for him.

"I can't believe that I am now a father,I should give Kyle a call,he would have knowledge about one should give a five year old kid," he muttered tapping his fingers on the table as he tried to get through with his brother.

"Hello," a deep voice resounded from the other end and Killian subconsciously sat up straight. He had always been in awe of his big brother as he was a general in the army.

"What do you need from me?" He asked.

"Big brother, I just found out that I'm a father already,"he paused trying to feel out his brother's attitude.

There was silence on the other end of the line and Killian was nervous. He always looked up to his brother,so he wasn't sure if his brother was upset with him.

"What did you just say?" Kyle asked to be sure he heard properly.

"I have a son," he said as he explained what happened five years ago.

"Killian," Kyle called feeling speechless. He really didn't know what he would say about him.

"So what do you want from me?" He asked knowing fully well he called for advice.

"I'm meeting him today so I would like to know the best gift that could be given to him," he said and he could hear fingers being tapped on the table.

"Why do you ask me?" Kyle questioned completely curious as to why he thought about him when he wanted to make a decision regarding the matter.

"Because you have a child," Killian said lightly.

Kyle's fingers automatically froze once he heard Killian's words. That was the truth, Kyle had a son whose mother's origin is unknown.

"You really have your way with words," Kyle said and Killian chuckled admitting to the fact.

"You can get him game consoles, I'm sure he would be happy with that," Kyle said seriously as he gave a list of what young boys would like to which Killian jotted down. He didn't want to miss a single item.

"I think you should inform father about your child,no child of the Scott's should stay outside, it's best if father acknowledges him," Kyle advised.

"I will give it a thought," Killian said with a deep look.

"Alright, I'm hanging up,I have several matters to attend to," Kyle said and Killian hummed, giving consent.

"Sky,into my office right now," Killian ordered as he rested his back on the chair. It still felt very novel for him hearing that he has a son already.

"Boss," she called with a low voice which sounded really seductive.

"I'm leaving,I have important matters to attend to," he said and Sky pursed her lips.

"Boss,are you sure you want to leave? I haven't had the chance to apologize for my earlier actions," she said as she took slow steps towards him.

She looked at the man who held power in all business and she could not help but drool over him.

If she could get married to him,she would be known as the young mistress and every person in the town would have to give face to her. She fantasized about it and couldn't help but think it too be true, making her more bold.

"Boss," she slurred as she tried to unbuckle his pants.

"Go to the HR and tender your resignation letter, you would be duly compensated," Killian said calmly before he left the office in bug strides.

Sky stood there frozen in place as she couldn't believe she just lost her job. It was actually better for her to resign as she would still be hired.

But if she were to be fired by the company, then her career in the fashion industry would be jeopardized. She knew better than anyone her employer's character.

She stood stiffly and by the time she reacted,he had already left the office. She ran after him with survival instinct. She really couldn't afford to lose her job as her mother and siblings were counting on her.

If she were to resign, where would she get an high paying job? She knew she shouldn't have gotten involved with the second young master of the Scotts.

But what could she do? He was so irresistible. If she had known,she wouldn't have drugged him making him hallucinate. The drug didn't even work as he had reprimanded her before Heather came in. For him to fire her, he knew.

Now this has cost her dearly. She deeply regretted it.

If she had known,but all that was left was endless regret. She collapsed on the floor as she cried. She had ruined her life with her own hands.

"Hello, Helena," Heather's calm voice resounded in the private room which made all the blood in the latter to run dry. She was stunned to see who was in her presence right now.

"You!!" Helena pointed with wide eyes as she stared at the figure in disbelief. How could she be back? And she looked much more pretty. Helena stared at her with red eyes and clenched fists.

"Yes me,do you miss me?" Heather asked with a light smirk dancing on her lips. It was fun to see her scared.

"What the heck are you doing coming back to the city? What games are you trying to play?" Helena asked after she calmed herself down. Heather was in her territory so there was nothing to be afraid of.

But looking at the lady who became more beautiful even after five years, jealousy gnawed at her heart and she didn't bother to hide it.

"Why? Can't I return to my own hometown?" Heather sneered as she looked at Helena. Still as foolish as she thought. She still wore her heart on her sleeves and showed people are varying emotions.

"You can't come back, you can't just come back,did you come back to fight with me for the properties?" Helena asked and Heather chuckled as though she had heard the most biggest joke.

"You,do you think you can compare with me?" Heather mocked which made Helena choke on nothing. It was the truth.

Back when they were growing up, people had always showered Heather with praises and compliments due to how smart and goodlooking she was. Helena had to stand by the side and watch her receive the compliments. Her jealousy stemmed from there.

"And besides,why do I have to fight against you on my mom's company,or aren't you aware that it's my mom who founded it from the scratch, it's only natural I take it back," Heather said with a cold smile making Helena shiver.

"That can't be possible, it's not possible,the company belongs to my dad and not your mom," Helena yelled in disbelief. She stared at Heather with wide eyes unable to comprehend what she had said.

"If you think I'm lying,you can go ask your so called father and I'm sure he would tell you the truth," Heather said with a meaningful smile before she left the room leaving Helena with different emotions.

Heather walked out of the restaurant with a satisfied smile. She hummed a tune to herself clearly happy about the mental blow she had just delivered to Helena. She couldn't help but chuckle as she recalled her disbelief. It was such a refreshing sight.

"Heather," someone called with uncertainty and she turned to look at the figure. She was calm on seeing the figure,but deep within her was hatred for the figure,on the other hand,the figure couldn't control his excitement as he reached out to hug her.

Heather calmly stepped to the right avoiding the figure's hug. The figure pursed his lips as he witnessed her reaction. She hated him. It was understandable as he had abandoned her.

"What's with your reaction? Aren't you happy to see me?" He asked with darkened eyes. He didn't quite understand her temper,one of the major reasons he has abandoned her five years ago.

"I believe we don't have any business with each other, Mr. Bates," she said calmly though you could hear some detachment and impatience from her voice.
