A harsh laugh falls from my lips. “You don’t even know his name.”
“A boy?”
“Don’t act like you care,” I snap. “You wanted me to get a damn abortion. That boy is mine, not yours.”
“Can we just talk about this?” he asks.
“There is nothing to talk about, Darren. You were fucking another woman behind my back!” I’m yelling now but I can’t just remain calm anymore. He fucked up my life and he deserves to know it. “You treated me like shit, badmouthed me to our friends, and asked me to kill my fucking son!”
I’m shaking with rage. What I’m not expecting is the hand on my shoulder.
“Tyler is crying,” Lucian says in my ear. I have no idea where he came from, but I want to cry I’m so happy. “Go to him. I’ll sort this out.”
Chapter Fourteen
Time to leave
Lucian
I glare at the man, no, the waste of space, in front of me.
I could hear every word she was yelling from my apartment. The moment she said this piece of shit wanted her to abort Tyler I knew I wasn’t leaving her alone with him for a second longer.
Seeing her shaking with rage the moment I walked in cemented the fact that I was doing the right thing.
“You need to leave,” I say calmly.
“Who the fuck do you think you are?” he rages. “I am here to talk to my wife and see my son and someone like you won’t stand in my way.”
“Someone like me?”
“I know men like you,” he chuckles. “Praying on the single new mother to get your dick wet. You’re probably living off her right now. You’re a loser and probably a criminal.”
“Not that you deserve to know a damn thing about me,” I say, stepping closer. A smile spreads across my face as he steps back, fear in his gaze. “But I am a business owner, one of the top ten most sought after and highest paid tattoo artists in the entire United States, and someone who puts family above everything else.”
He opens his mouth to say something, but I silence him with a look.
“I’m not here to get my dick wet. Let me make myself perfectly clear so there isn’t any misunderstanding between us. I am going to marry that woman and if–if–Cassie ever lets you near our boy, I will respect her wishes But know this, if you ever speak to my woman with anything less than the highest respect, I will beat your ass. Got me?”
He stares at me before sliding his eyes to the side. I know Cassandra is standing there. He has a look of confusion on his face.
“Cassandra?” he asks.
“There is nothing here for you. Leave, Darren. Forget you ever knew me.”
He straightens his spine with a smirk I consider malicious.
“I want to see my son.”
I want to kick his teeth in. The only thing holding me back is the small hand that takes mine.
“Talk to your lawyer, Darren. You gave up all your rights to him during the divorce,” she says calmly.
A look of shock blankets his features. I’m assuming he didn’t know or chose not to remember this fact. He probably thought that he would just walk back into her life and she would be happy to take him back. That’s not the Cassandra I’ve come to know these few short days.
“You can’t be serious!” Darren shouts indignantly. “We can fix our marriage. You don’t have to settle for this asshole.”
“I’ll tell you a secret, it’s not settling, it’s upgrading.” She squeezes my hand.
