It would forever be a part of me, like he was slowly becoming. Something told me it was exactly what he wanted. What he affirmed next would only prove my point.
“There, Soph, I just took what belonged to me.”

From that day forward, I was his.
EIGHT
SOPHIE
NOW
Since I was expecting Jax to show up bright and early, I was prepared this time.
Except … so was he.
We were sitting at my dining room table. I was at one end while he was at the other with our lawyers by our sides. Jax brought his entire team. In attendance were his agent and publicist, Autumn, who I recognized, which made me nervous. I knew she was the best publicist in the industry, and having her there felt like an ambush.
“It’s good to see you again, Sophie.”
“I wish I could say the same.”
She nodded. “I understand that you’re weary of me, but I can guarantee you I mean you no harm.”
“Then why are you here?”
“Jax didn’t tell you?”
My scowl locked with his from across the table. “No. He’s just full of surprises these days.”
His attorney got right down to business, pulling a document from his briefcase. He stated, “We have the results of your son’s paternity test.”
Narrowing my eyes, I looked down at the form he laid on the table.
“As you can see, we tested twenty-one DNA markers between your son and Mr. Colton to see if they share a genetic makeup.”
I wasn’t paying attention to anything he was saying. My eyes were glued to the bold black number at the bottom of the report.
99.9%
Verifying Jax was the father of my boy.
“Did you hear what I said, Miss Hayes?”
My stare shifted to his lawyers.
“This DNA test proves that my client is indeed the biological father of your son.”
His attorney announced it so easily, like it wasn’t a big deal when it was a huge one. Like that one statement didn’t just ruin my life and turn everything I’d worked so hard for upside down.
My career.
My identity.
My boy…
He never asked about his father, but I knew it was only a matter of time before the questions would come knocking on my door. I wasn’t prepared to face the truth of Jax. When I found out I was pregnant, I didn’t know what to do.
