How dare you go public with another woman when you have an unborn child back home waiting to be acknowledged?
Jack stared at the message, his blood turning cold. Who the hell did she think she was dictating his life to him?
Something felt so off about this, and the dread he was carrying around just got heavier.
What do you want, Cindy?
Meet with me and acknowledge the baby.
It was like he could feel the lie while reading the message on his screen. Why did he need to meet with her? Why couldn’t they have a normal and calm discussion about this? She had been sharp and defensive the last time they spoke.
Then give my lawyers your physician details and get ready to do the test in January. Then, if it is, we’ll talk.
Until then, he wouldn’t be spoken to like this or manipulated.
Jack, just admit what happened. Do I need to go to the media?
Fury tore through him.
Is that a threat?
When she didn’t reply, he texted again.
Who’s child is it, Cindy?
Fuck you, Jack. If you don’t acknowledge it as yours, you will regret it.
Woah.He screenshot the messages and sent them to both Darren and Josh.
Seeing him with Amelia had triggered something, but he knew Cindy wasn’t in love with him, and how could she expect him to accept the baby was his without proof?
It was insane.
She was being insane.
Jack cursed and wished they didn’t have to wait so long for this test. He was confident the baby wasn’t his—if it even existed.
Why the hell would she be doing this?
The timing was terrible. He was falling in love with Amelia and wanted to bring her into his world. But not with this hanging over his head.
She needs to be contained.He added in another text to Darren.
I’ll contact her again and tell her all communications must come through me.Darren responded.
Jack wasn’t sure it was going to be enough.
Cindy was acting unhinged. Pregnancy hormones, maybe, but his instincts said it was more than just that.
––––––––
TWO HOURS LATER, WHENAmelia opened her front door, Jack kicked it shut, and they both fell into each other’s arms.
“I missed you,” she said into his chest.
“Me too,” Jack said, breathing in all of her.
Then he tugged something out of his pocket and held it up.
