Page 54 of Plaything of His

A bitter laugh escapes me as I take her wrist between my fingers and throw it away from my body. She gasps as though I’ve slapped her as she brings her hand to her chest, eyes narrowing at me.

“I don’t give a fuck, Serena. He’s here now, and he’s here to stay. He’ll be living here.”

She doesn’t like hearing me say that.

“You just had to figure it out, didn’t you? You took my daughter and now you’re after my son too? Do you plan to always be the knight in armour, or does it come to you naturally?!”

My jaw is clenched as I look down at her.

Fifteen years of updates.

Fifteen years of convincing her to return.

Fifteen years of my time wasted.

And now she wants to tell me all of this?

“What the fuck are you talking about? What have I supposedly figured out?”

As the seconds pass, Serena pales. She stumbles backwards with her hand to her mouth, staring at me with wide eyes.

Fuck.

Whatever this is, it isn’t good.

“Serena,” I growl out as I close the space between us. “Explain yourself. Now.”

“I thought…” She stumbles over her words, and as I glare down at her, she finally clears her throat before explaining herself. “When you said that he’s here to stay…I thought you figured it out.”

“Figured outwhat,Serena? Spit it out, and stop wasting my time.”

My heart races, and I know whatever she’s about to say won’t be any good.

I canfeelthe tension radiating off of her.

“He’s yours, Lucas. He’s your son.”

And just like that, all the air leaves my lungs.

What?

Her words play around in my head.

What?

“What the fuck?”

I breathe out as I feel my entire body begin to burn.

What the fuck?

“From the way you were talking about him, I thought you figured it out.”

My jaw is tight and my eyes are locked with hers.

She’s lying, I know she is.

She’s a manipulative liar.
