Narrator's POV Now that he thought about it, she had become fatter over the months. He had just thought she'd been eating way too much but now it all made sense. She wasn't showing yet but then again she'd been wearing baggy clothes more often."Yes you will or else..""Or else what?" Jason finally spoke up, he'd been too stunned by his sister's revelations to make any comments before but now, he understood."Or she's disowned from this family. I will not have her carry the child of my sworn enemy!" Grandpa blurted out." Grandpa! "Jason was angry at his grandpa. Although he wasn't supporting the fact that Clara got pregnant by an enemy or that she wanted to marry him, he wasn't going to let him force her to do what she didn't want to do. "Well, you'll have to disown me too because I won't stand for this. If she wants to keep the baby, you can't force her not to. It's her body. Not yours.""Shut up boy and sit the hell down.""I think everyone needs to calm down." Jason's father sai
Jason's POV"I am Vince's father." I whispered, testing the information in my tongue with eyes wide, staring at my grandfather as everything clicked in.He'd just told me a story that was damn near disgusting and I wasn't sure where to first start.He nodded slowly as if afraid to confirm the truth.He was right to be afraid, the only thing controlling me right now was that my father was beside me and that I was still struggling to believe everything I had just heard."I'm Vince's Dad?" I repeated, just to be sure I wasn't crazy."Yes, Vince is your son." He confirmed again. There was a defiant look in grandpa's eyes that pissed me off.This had to be a dream, a fucking nightmare. I pinched myself just for good measure but it seemed very much that I was in fact very much not dreaming.I glanced over at my father. He looked unusually quiet but angry at the same timeHis silence spoke volumes that even scared me.He looked Like he was struggling with saying something and keeping qui
Jason POV"Violet, she was the woman you slept with years ago." He clarified, his eyes looking directly at mine.My blood turned cold in my veins. Every part of me shivered and I widened my eyes like it was going to pop out. I must definitely be deaf to have heard him say that."What did you just say?" I asked. "I said it's your wife Violet," he repeated, which made me know that I didn't hear correctly the first time. "No!" I shook my head, unable to believe it."Yes, Violet was the waitress you slept with that night, six years ago." He confirmed.I had never wanted to punch something so much more than I wanted to in that minute and by something I meant my grandfather."You've got to be fucking kidding me!" I yelled out in response.I stood up from my chair and began to pace the study."This is not real." I began to chant to myself."I've told you everything." Grandpa Logan said. His face carried a passive expression that annoyed me.My father suddenly stood up then. He looked at hi
Violet's POV "That was the last patient ma'am." My assistant said as she poked her head through the open door."Alright, thank you." I smiled at her."You are welcome ma'am." She smiled and closed the door behind.I physically relaxed into my chair, glad that I was finally done for the day. I was already more than exhausted from all of the patients I had to see today and all week to be honest. It had been a busy week with me in the hospital and Jason with Vince’s paternity test. We were all just trying to survive till the issue with Camile and the press blew over.I was especially worried about Clara. She was going through a lot, more than she deserved what with Camile claiming Vince as his and making videos on the internet to prove that point.It was trying times for the Clarksville and the fact that Jason was going through it made me incredibly sad.Maybe I'll make him dinner tonight, something sweet to alleviate the burden. I'll also be sure to call Clara. I needed to check on
Narrator's POV***Flashback***Myers signed the papers placed in front of him without wasting any time. He glanced up at the men who'd been by his side as soon as he was done and slid the paper across the table to where his boss, Gomez Clarksville sat watching him."It's done." He said, his eyes darting between the men beside him and his boss sitting in front of him"Good." One of the men said after checking everything was signed."Your money will be transferred to your bank within the next fifteen minutes." His boss, explained and he smiled in appreciation."Thank you sir." He told him and watched as he stood from his chair and exited the room with his men.Alexander Myers had just signed a nondisclosure agreement that said he'd shut up about his daughter being raped by the Clarksville heir.He had also been given a huge sum of money to buy his silence. A sum of money that he couldn't refuse.To him, it was a good deal, a great deal even. He'd be protecting Violet from them, who i
Violet’s POV“I… I’m sorry,” I heard Jason say. His voice reached my ears vaguely. “Vaguely” because my senses were at their lowest. The only prominent sound that filled my ears was that which escaped my lips as shaky breaths. My eyes were clouded with hot tears effortlessly streaming down my cheek already.This revelation felt so sudden. To put more accurately, it felt like a knife. Plunged right through my back. I felt betrayed; anguished; torn apart; heartbroken! How could they?!The same people I considered family never bothered to reveal the truth to me until today. What were they thinking when they saw me stuff myself with lies all these years? How did he feel watching me with arms crossed as I took care of a child I always thought to be someone else’s while grieving my loss? Did it feel like the movies? Was there popcorn to go with it? “ Violet…” Jason’s pleading voice again pierced through the turmoil in my head that ravaged my sense of reaso
Jason's POVI ran outside hating how Violet had sounded, I knew my grandfather had his reasons for keeping Vince away from us but I would be a fool to ignore the nagging voice in my head telling me he kept it to himself for way too long. The air outside was less stiff, not as clouded with choking emotions from hidden truth, yet somehow felt just as horrible. I searched round for a familiar figure, that lovely hair colour, but nothing. She either wasn’t here or if she were, she must be very good at staying invisible.‘Shit’ I cursed seeing and feeling nothing but air slapping my bothered face. How did she even move that fast?I rushed the final steps to my car and hopped into the trusty bentley. Slamming my head a few times against the steering wheel, I couldn’t help but hate myself even more for being so stupid, I should have suspected something. Argh! where could she have gone? The mansion? Worth a try. Slamming on the accelerator, I drove full speed
Jason POVI pulled out the now crumpled piece of paper that would solidify whatever Violet had explained because if I were in the boy’s shoes, I would most definitely not believe shit. As if expecting it, Vince grabbed the paper immediately it left my pocket and skipped up the stairs yelling.“I’d make sure to keep it safe!” he said, just before we heard the sure slam of a door.Once Vince was gone, it was too hard to ignore that we were both alone now. The hallway had become so quiet that I was certain if the keys currently poking my thighs were to drop, it would sound like a fucking earthquake was taking over the hallway.“Val, I’m so sorry. I should have suspected something, should have been more vigilant, checked on you, made sure you were okay after…” I trailed off, not entirely sure it was a memory she’d like to revisit. I swallowed every reason to shut up.“You wouldn’t have had to go through all of that, or at the very least, not alone.” I rambled on, the guilt I felt overshad
