TEMPTATION!

Byron was about to go to bed that night in the rented condo he was living in when his phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID and it was none other than Maggi.

He frowned but he picked up the call, wondering why she would be calling him at this time of the night.

“What do you want?” Byron said coldly from his end of the phone.

“Byron…” Maggi let his name roll off her tongue in a seductive and coquettish tone.

It was a trick she had honed over the years to manipulate him. She knew he couldn’t resist her whenever she spoke in that manner and she was right.

Even though Byron was mad at her and wanted nothing to do with her, hearing her speak in that matter softened his tone, after all, she was a woman he had been in love with for years.

“I asked you a question Maggi, what do you want?”

“I know what I did is very despicable to say the least, and you have every right to be mad at me and never want to talk to me again but this is not about me, it’s about Ava, she misses you. She’s been asking for her daddy,” Maggi said in a soft and remorseful tone even though her true self was far from it.

She knew how much Byron loved Ava and that he was willing to do anything for her and she was counting on that to get to Byron.

“Well then tell her the truth. Tell her who her real father is.” Byron replied in a cold tone but deep down he felt a pang of guilt and pain in his heart.

Even if Ava was not his blood, he had to admit that even now, he still loves her as much as he did before he found out the truth.

“Don’t say such things, Byron. She’s a little child. How do you expect her to understand that her uncle is suddenly her father? I am a sinner and I know I can never obtain your forgiveness but do you really want to punish the little girl for the sins of her parents? Don’t you have a heart anymore?” Maggie replied, faking a sob.

Byron heaved a deep sigh. Did he really want to deprive the poor child of the only father she has ever known because of her parents?

“I don’t know what you want me to say M-”

“Ava, come say hi to daddy. He’s on the phone,” Maggi’s voice came, cutting Byron off.

She muted the call on her own end, and quickly whispered to Ava, “Make it look real baby, okay?” She said then Ava nodded and spoke into the phone.

“Daddy I miss you. When are you coming home?” Little Ava’s voice sounded in Byron’s ear. The concern and worry in her voice were palpable and Byron instantly felt a wave of sadness wash over him.

“Soon baby, I’m coming home soon,” Byron replied with a broken heart.

While Ava was at it, Maggi was whispering and demonstrating, telling her what to say next.

Ava heard the next word, and quickly asked, “When is soon daddy? Nobody gives me a piggyback ride anymore,” Ava replied, breaking into tears and Byron struggled to hold back the tears that were stinging his eyes.

Then Maggi smiled and gave little Ava a thumbs up sign. She didn't know her daughter missed Byron this much, her tears were real.

‘Wonderful’ Maggi thought with a wicked smile.

Byron couldn’t do this to her. If Ava still wanted him in her life and Maggi was okay with it, he would remain in her life as a distant father figure but for now, he’ll just be the daddy that the little girl knows until she is old enough to be told the truth.

“Daddy will see you tomorrow then Princess. Give your mommy the phone,” Byron replied.

“Yay!!!!! When you’re coming buy me ice cream, donuts and candy,” Ava chirped excitedly before handing the phone to her mother.

“Will tomorrow work?” Byron asked coldly.

“It’s perfect. Thank you so much,” Maggi replied in a patronizing tone.

“Save the pretense, Maggi. I’ll drop by the house tomorrow.”

“No, not the house. I’ll text you an address. Liam will be furious if he finds out. I hope you understand,” Maggi replied.

“Whatever,” Byron retorted, ending the call before the annoyance he felt for the child’s father made him change his plans of spending some time with her.

The next morning, Byron informed his assistant that he wouldn’t be coming to work that day because of some engagements. He got everything Ava asked for and even more gifts as he prepared to spend the day with her.

He reached the address that Maggi sent to him. It was an apartment in the middle-class apartment buildings in their city. In the past, Byron would have considered being at this kind of place luxury but compared to what he had seen and been experiencing for the past couple of days, it was nothing.

“Where’s Ava?” Byron asked Maggi when he got inside the apartment. It was a single and living room apartment, so Byron could see the adjoining bedroom with no sign of Ava in it.

“One of the maids just took her out. Ava got impatient for ice cream, you know how she can be,” Maggi lied. She never had any intention of letting Byron ever see her child.

Byron nodded, his eyes darting to every corner of the house but on the woman in front of him and it was for two reasons. One, he couldn’t stand the sight of her, and two, the sight of her right now was devilishly tempting.

Maggi was wearing a mini bodycon dress that hugged her tightly like a second skin, doing nothing to hide her incredibly curvy figure.

The texture of the material was so light that the seductive prints of her nipples were almost poking out of the dress and to make matters worse, she sat with her legs apart causing the already short dress to run further up her thighs, giving Byron a good view of her beautiful and pink rosebud because she wasn’t even wearing any panties.

“Do you want something to drink?” Maggi asked with a hint of mischief in her eyes.

She could tell her seduction was working on Byron as his eyes would occasionally dart at her and then dart away.

“Just water, thanks,” Byron replied, glancing at her seductive body as she stood up.

Maggi disappeared into the kitchen and returned with a glass of water that she had spiked with an aphrodisiac and a sleeping pill. Byron was too naive to think anything of it and he drank the water, gulping it down.

Before long, the effects of the drug started to take root and Byron could feel himself harden unnecessarily in his pants and at the same time feel sleepy. In a few seconds, he dozed off with a hard-on then Maggi took off his pants before setting her stuff to get to work.
