You Had Your Chance Chapter 8
Walter's lips were pressed tightly together, and his fists clenched hard at his sides.I was so tired of even saying the word "divorce" again.I wouldn't allow Walter to come near Damian anymore, and I wasn't about to let him show up around our place. My decision to end this marriage was final. I asked Damian if he thought I was being too heartless, but he shook his head. "I think having a different dad would be pretty awesome," he said. The car fell silent. After a beat, Skyler smiled and asked, "Damian, how would you feel if I became your dad?"Damian let out an excited gasp. "That would be so cool!"My face turned red, and I suddenly couldn't find my words.Just then, the car screeched to a sudden halt. I instinctively shielded Damian, and my forehead hit the seat in front with a dull thud. Before I could steady myself, I heard panicked voices outside the window. "Oh my God, call 911!""This is horrible! Are they okay?""That car just sped right over like it had a dea

"Mom, I'm bringing Damian home to stay for a while. … Yeah, it'll just be us. Walter... won't be coming."As soon as I hung up, Walter Scott returned. He looked exhausted with dark circles under his eyes. Without a word, he went straight to the bathroom. The sound of running water filled the silence, and not long after, his phone started ringing nonstop.I knew the password to his phone, so I unlocked it without asking.Just like I thought, the messages were from Olivia Lowry. She'd sent a whole bunch of photos and videos of her son—reading, playing with blocks, and calling Walter "Daddy"."Aaron really misses you, Walt. Are you coming over tonight? The boy loves you so much. He doesn't even care about me anymore."My hands trembled as I held the phone. Taking a deep breath, I tried to calm the anger inside me. Even now, I couldn't bring myself to act as indifferent as I wanted.They were just too shameless.As soon as I set the phone down, Walter came out. He was drying his w

I gave Damian a light pat on the shoulder, and he snuggled closer to me."Mommy, when are we going to Grandma's?" he asked. "I don't want to be here anymore.""Soon. We'll head over once we get you out of kindergarten," I said. "Damian, I just need to ask you one more time—are you okay with me getting a divorce from your dad?""Yeah. Daddy doesn't like me, so I don't want to like him either."I felt a lump in my throat. I held him close, comforting him until he finally drifted off. Just as I was about to doze off, my phone rang.I checked the screen and there were several messages from an unknown number. But the photos and videos attached to the mocking messages made it clear who it was—Olivia.In the video, Walter was telling Aaron a story, his voice calm and gentle. Olivia's voice popped in every now and then. They looked like the perfect little family.Walter had never done anything like that for Damian.Since Damian was born, Walter had never played with him or read him a b

I looked down to find Damian's reddened eyes. He bit his lip hard, but he still wouldn't let himself cry.I gave him a small smile and asked, "You really don't want your dad anymore?"He shook his head without saying a word.Walter went all in during the family event to make sure Aaron won. Olivia and the two of them actually looked like a family, enjoying the day together.Meanwhile, I won a plush toy for Damian.Suddenly, Aaron rushed over and pointed at the toy Damian was holding. "Daddy, I want that toy!"Walter ruffled his hair and gave him a smile, agreeing. Then, he walked over to Damian and held out his hand."Aaron wants the toy, Damian. Give it to him," he said like it was no big deal.Olivia giggled, teasing Aaron for being a little troublemaker.No one seemed to care that it was a toy a mother had won for her son.Damian wouldn't budge, and Walter frowned. "Damian, haven't I said this before? Aaron should get what he wants."Still, Damian stood his ground.Walte

Walter sounded urgent like he was trying to squeeze in celebrating Damian's birthday between a million other things.I watched Damian laughing happily and said casually, "I took him to my mom's."Walter seemed caught off guard. "When did you leave? Why didn't you say anything?""While you were busy celebrating someone else's kid's birthday," I replied, sounding like it was no big deal.Walter sighed. "Bella, I didn't realize it was also Aaron's birthday. His parents are divorced, and it's tough for his mom to raise him on her own. I just wanted to do something nice for him. Tomorrow, I'll pick you and Damian up and make it up to him. Sound good?"I suddenly felt warm all over, so I stepped outside and sank into the swing in the yard.I stared up at the starry sky and said flatly, "Walter, I've thought about this for a long time. Let's get a divorce. I'll keep Damian."Walter and I had met through mutual friends. The first time I saw him, I felt this flutter in my chest that I co

Damian dashed into the house, practically glowing with happiness.Mom and Dad didn't say much about my divorce. They just told me they'd support whatever I decided. But my younger brother, Cedric, came rushing back from abroad as soon as he found out.The second he stepped through the front door, he bellowed, "Damian, your uncle's home!"Damian hurtled down the stairs as if his feet had wings. He flung himself straight into Cedric's arms and called out sweetly, "Uncle Cedric!"Cedric lifted him high, settling him atop his shoulders. They played for a while before Cedric's expression turned stormy.He looked at me and asked, "Bell, did Walter push you around? Just say the word, and I'll teach him a lesson."He threw a few punches to emphasize his point.I shook my head. "Don't be so aggressive around Damian. I'll handle this. Now that you're here, help me find a good kindergarten for Damian. I've got some things to deal with."After handing Damian over to Cedric, I headed off to

Olivia's expression turned sour. She gave Aaron a sharp pinch at his side. In the very next second, he burst into a thunderous wail.Then, Olivia shot a distressed look at Walter. "Walt, just look at Aaron. He's been crying so much lately. Let's take him to the hospital, shall we?"Walter hesitated.Just then, two figures—one tall and one small—walked in through the entrance."Mommy!" Damian waddled over to me as fast as his little legs could carry him. He was completely focused on me, not even noticing Walter, Olivia, or Aaron were around."How'd you get here? Did you enroll in a kindergarten yet?" I asked.Damian nodded. "Uncle Cedric was super quick. He even brought someone along, and that guy said he knows you.""A guy? Who?"Cedric rubbed his nose."It's been a while, Bell," a deep, smooth voice said.I turned toward the sound, and my breath caught. The guy standing before me was tall, with strikingly good looks. Before I knew it, he was right in front of me."You don'

Walter stared out the window at the two figures—one tall, one small."There was a time when I thought I'd love you forever. But that feeling's long gone after all these years. It's only now that I finally see things clearly. I have a wife and a child."Why should I ruin my own family for the sake of someone like you? Olivia, let's put all this behind us. Take your son and get out of my sight."Then, he pinched Aaron's cheek with a malicious grin. "He's not even cute and definitely not as adorable as Damian."Aaron burst into tears again. He reached out to Walter, hoping to be held.Walter's eyes turned cold. He spun on his heel and walked away.Olivia stood there, pale as a ghost, while Aaron's cries pierced through the silence.…That night, while I was reading a story to Damian, he asked if I liked "that guy". I paused for a moment, then realized he was talking about Skyler."What about you? Do you like him?" I asked in return.Damian nodded. "He's really nice. He even play
