CHAPTER 24

“It’s Alex’s birthday a week on Tuesday. Can you buy him something, please?” Beatrice said from her usual spot on the sofa.

“What does he like?”

“Get him a watch or something.”

Sydney knew Beatrice’s tones well enough to know she held no interest for the question and expected her to deal with it.

Beatrice’s eyes shot to her phone as the buzz of the gate bell came from it.

“Is that Alex?” Sydney asked.

“And Peter.” Beatrice sighed. “I don’t want to see him, not after last time.”

“I’ll go meet Alex,” Sydney said, “and make sure Peter doesn’t step foot inside the house.”

Beatrice sighed again, this time with relief. “Thank you.”

“He really pushes your buttons, doesn’t he?”

The silence from the sofa said everything.

Sydney made her way out along the back path and around the side of the house as Peter and Alex were getting out of the car.

“Bye, Dad.”

“Bye, dude.”

Alex huffed and rolled his eyes as he came towards Sydney.

“It’s nice to have you home, Alex.”

He gathered a smile together for her as he passed.

“Sydney! Not washing cars today?” Peter asked, looking her up and down as he approached her. “Shame, you put on quite the show last time. Can I persuade you to put on a repeat performance for me now?”

“Would you like that?” She prised out her best smile, hoping it would entice him towards her.

Peter edged uncomfortably close. His stinking breath made her hold her own.

She placed her hands on his upper arms, bringing a smile to his face. She clamped hold and lifted her knee firmly into his groin. He grunted in both pain and surprise. This hadn’t exactly been part of the plan, but if the plan didn’t work, Sydney at least wanted some satisfaction from their encounter.

“There is literally nothing you or any man has to offer that I could possibly want,” Sydney spat into his ear as he bent over double.

“Fucking bitch.” Peter coughed and spat on the ground. His strained voice was filled with venom. “You’re well matched then. Is that why she hired you?”

“What?”

The confusion on her face encouraged him to clarify after regaining his breath.

“Bea’s into the ladies. Didn’t you know?”

What the actual…?

“It’s hardly surprising when she’s married to you,” Sydney replied quickly before she got caught up in her thoughts. “You’re enough to turn any woman’s stomach, let alone her sexuality.”

“You know she did a lesbian film,” Peter said, lifting himself up, still nursing his balls with his hands. “We split shortly after; she enjoyed her role a little too much.” He laughed, then winced. “I saw the way she eyeballed her co-star. Bea was hungry — so I ate for her.”

Bastard.

She clenched her teeth and would have kneed him again if he wasn’t still cradling his package.

“I did wonder about leaking it to the press, but you know” — Peter shrugged — “the kid.”

“Alex. Your son,” Sydney reminded him, although she was astonished he gave a shit about Alex. “The one you insisted on abandoning to a boarding school, despite his mum’s objections, in exchange for casinos and prostitutes.
