“Your mother tried but was stopped,” Blake tells me, a look of shame crossing his face, “Your father had his own detail watching the hospital, and they were ordered to turn her away if she had shown up.”
“How do you know this?” I ask, “Is that what my father told you because he's been known to lie...”
“Your mother told me...that night. She came to me crying because she couldn't see you.”
“But why would she come to you?” I question, completely baffled.
Again, shame crosses his face, “She comes to me a lot, Oakley.”
“Jesus, Blake...” Fynn says furiously, and that's when it clicks.
“You and my mom? For how long?”
He sighs, “You have to understand that when Jett's mother died, it broke me. Your mother helped me through it, but it didn't get romantic until about two years ago.”
“YOU'VE BEEN FUCKING MY MOTHER FOR TWO YEARS?” I raise my fist, but Fynn grabs me and holds me back.
“What did you expect her to do when her husband has never been able to get over his fucking Lady from college? She never knew who it was, not until recently, and that devastated her. Ashlee was her friend all these years.”
“Oh, my dad and the Scotts have been carrying on this affair...”
He cuts me off, “No, just your dad and Ashlee. Devlin is in the dark about Ashlee and Donavan. Yes, Devlin asks Don to join occasionally, but he doesn't know they carry on without him behind his back.”
“You all are fucked up, you know that?” Fynn chuckles dryly.
Blake scoffs, “You have no idea. Jakob is the normal one out of us all. He fucks his secretary on the down low like a normal business guy.”
I glance at Fynn and see him make a face, “Dad fucks April? Isn't she like ten years older than him?”
Blake shrugs, “It's just sex. Neither one wants to enter a relationship, so they have a deal with one another.”
“Wow, I will never be able to look at that woman the same again,” Fynn cringes.
“You boys act like you're better than us,” Blake glares between me and my friend, “Aren't the three of you fucking Catalina, who should be like a sister to you all?”
It's my turn to cringe now, “Well, maybe if we all grew up together, but from what she was told, it's her duty to serve her Lords.”
“I think we're getting off the topic,” Fynn states annoyed, “Who is the girl that those sickos raped?”
“If anybody finds out where you got this from, I will be in deep shit...”
“Yeah, yeah, yeah,” Fynn rolls his eyes.
“I'm fucking serious, Fynn. The past Lords mean business, and men have been known to disappear when they have given out secrets, but I know this has to be taken care of. Unfortunately, our hands are tied.”
We watch Blake walk over to a floorboard and kneel as he works it loose. Reaching in, he pulls out a metal box and opens it but makes a face. What now?
“What is it?” I ask.
Blake looks up at us, “Nothing really. I'm assuming the files you have now came from this box since they aren't in here, but what stumps me is why he didn't give you this file. Maybe I shouldn't give it to you.”
He's too busy thinking about it to see Fynn walk behind him and rip it from his hand. I'm still too shocked over my mom and dad to be much help. I mean, good for Mom for not settling and accepting what my father has been doing all these years, but why cheat? Why not just divorce his ass and be free?
“You have got to be shitting me?” Fynn's voice reaches me, and I see him with his nose in the file.
“What is it?” I go to him and look over his shoulder.
I yank the file from his hand, and the moment I do, I understand why he reacted the way he did. I can't believe what I'm looking at right now...this can't be right. The more I think about it, though, the more it makes sense.
