Revenge After Divorce by Black Rose

I wasn’t sure what I was hoping for. When Nick and my dad walked in, I found myself looking past them, almost expecting to see Marcus right behind them. I had told the man I needed time to myself, yet deep down, I still hoped to see him. How pathetic, wanting one thing but wishing for something entirely different.

But then, seeing the baby, it shattered me. It was the first time I laid eyes on her, and I hadn’t realized she would look so fragile. She was so tiny, like she might break if I even touched her. It didn’t take long for me to notice that my father seemed uncomfortable around her. I understood, though; it was also my first time seeing such a small baby. Still, I felt a sense of relief hearing the doctors say she was doing well. They gave me instructions on how to care for her, and one of them stayed behind at my father’s request to assist with her.

I was grateful for the help. Being in a foreign country with a baby who had medical needs wasn’t going to be easy, even with all my father’s wealth. I needed the doctor’s support, and I needed Lupita.

“So, this is your baby?” Xander asked, standing next to me and gazing at the baby, who was sleeping soundly in the incubator.

“I still don’t understand why you’re here,” Nick muttered, his voice sharp. He was standing near the door with Ethan and Samuel. I could feel my body light up with a mix of emotions from seeing the baby, but Nick didn’t seem to understand why she was so tiny or why she slept so much.

Xander completely ignored Nick, as though he wasn’t even there, and I knew that was only going to fuel Nick’s anger. Nobody ever ignored Nick Jones.

“You’re not family. We need some time alone, as a family, to talk. Please, give us the room,” Nick said sharply.

I decided to tune them out. I had a baby to focus on, not a bunch of grown men acting like children.

“From what I’ve heard, you’re not family either. So, we can leave together,” I shot back.

“He’s not leaving, he is my dad!” Samuel suddenly piped up. We all turned to look at him, surprised. I hadn’t told him that Nick was his father, how did he know? Nick wore a foolish grin on his face.

I knelt down in front of Samuel.

“Sweetheart, who told you that Uncle Nick is your dad?” I asked gently.

Samuel grabbed Nick’s hand, standing in front of him like a little protector.
