MYKEL Jade was glaring at me and then at Sax and Kye before she stepped aside. The apartment was awfully small, but the furniture was pretty clean and sturdy. There were toys on the coffee table, on the floor, and the small bookshelf, reminding me that my son did exist and I had been a father for almost four years. “Have a seat.” “These are my—” “Bodyguards?” she replied vilely. “Also, my friends. Sax the bald and the blond is Kye.” “Hello, ma’am.” My guys took a seat. I went to look at the photos on the walls and shelves. “Why are you here, Mykel?” I turned to face her. “What’s my son’s name?” She wallowed. “Zhaer Jax with E. He likes to be called Jax. Zhaer is a mouthful.” Unknowingly, I was smiling. “Beautiful name.” “You still did not answer my question.” “I wanna know him. I wanna meet him. Of course, with your permission.” Before Jade could say something, the boy walked in with a superhero action figure in his hand. “Mommy?” Jade stiffened next to me, and so

MYKEL Jade’s eyes filled with tears. I held her arms, giving her assurance that I would never do such horrible things to her. “I swear that no one can take Jax away from you. I know you don’t trust me, but you eventually have to work on that.” She relaxed as she drew a deep breath. “Okay. I’ve been saving money to get a good apartment near the school, but my job as a clerk—” “I’m giving you another job.” She looked as if she wanted to burst out laughing. “You’re kidding, right?” “I’m a billionaire, Jade.” She rolled her eyes. “I sometimes forgot you’re a dick billionaire, and you just waltzed in with two bodyguards. But I’m doing it for my son.” “Pack up, and you’re staying at the hotel tonight.” She was about to disagree with a loud crash erupted from her neighbor. I had no idea how long she endured with this kind of neighborhood, but it had to end tonight. She waltzed away, calling our son. “Jax, honey, wear your shoes, and we’re going for a ride and stay in a nice room

ADLEY “Mykel?” I woke up at two in the morning to his call. I found missed calls and messages from him. I thought I was dreaming, hearing the constant playing of a song. I realized it was my ringtone. After two days, it finally got into his freaking mind that he had a wife he left in New York. “Baby, I wasn’t sure you would answer.” Really? That was the best excuse he could think of. There was also a hesitation in his voice. “After two days, then you are about to drain my batteries. Why are you calling, Mykel?” “Baby, I’m sorry, okay? I’m coming home. My jet is taking off in thirty. I’m picking you up as soon as I land—” “Mykel, do you realize it’s early morning when you land? Don’t waste your time. I’m not coming with you.” “Baby—” “I’m sorry—” “Adley, I gave you two days to think. I know you’re still angry with me, but we need to talk, and this split-up, you staying in the other house, doesn’t do any good in our marriage. You and I need to sit down and settle this issue.”

ADLEY Gripping his hand off my thigh under the table, I gave him an I-wish-I-could-say-the-same-thing-look. “Morning.” “Mr. Everette Kross and Mrs. Amelie Kross have two residences, a beach house, four personal vehicles, a yacht, thirty-seven million dollar cash in the joint bank account, and an eighteen percent combined share at the Kross Corp.” That made me the twenty-eight percent shareholder of the corporation. “A trust fund that was already transferred to their beneficiary only daughter, Adley Kross, when she turned nineteen. The remaining assets mentioned and written on this writing will be transferred upon signing the document by the beneficiary.” I listened to my parents’ lawyer as he continually explained other points in the document. So this was all the sacrifices all about? “As witnessed by Mr. Mykel Creed, the spouse of the beneficiary. Any question?” I remained tight-lipped. So, this is it. This was what we went to all this trouble for? “No further question. How ab

MYKEL There was so much pain in her eyes. She had withdrawn to somewhere she didn’t want to be reached. It fucking hurt knowing I was the one who put it there that I made her that way. I wished I could take those pain away. I didn’t care how excruciating it was for me—I just wanted to see the sparks in her eyes and hear her rich laugh again. For a second, I didn’t buy that tough girl bullshit. I’d known my wife for months, and she’d never turned her back on me. I knew she didn’t mean those words—those words were coming from a woman who was hurting and carrying the world over her shoulder. I fucking missed her—my wife—the woman I fell in love with. Now was not the right time to give up on someone I loved. Now was not the time to have some doubts. Days had passed, and I had not heard from Adley again. Romare was keeping me updated—that put me in bed and made me sleep at night, even if not peacefully. I was giving her the time and space she needed. What I didn’t expect was that she

ADLEYThis wake-up call in the middle of the night was stressing me out. I grunted as I picked up my phone on the nightstand.“What do you want?” I snapped as I answered the call.“Oh, wow. You’re scary. I’m sorry to call you this late—” I instantly recognized that voice.“Knox?”“Yeah, it’s me.”“You okay?”“Yeah, I’m fine, but Mykel is in trouble.”I was already sitting in bed when I asked, “What happened? What’s going on, Knox?”“We were having drinks, and suddenly, Mykel punched Dash in the face. Things lead to another.”“Has he been drinking?” I shook it off. He just mentioned they were having drinks. I guessed I was not fully awake.“He wasn’t drunk, Adley. Not really, but, you know. Since you two are not okay, he’s been having difficulty dealing with it.”“Where is he now?”“He’s locked up.”“He’s what?”“I know. This isn’t him. I’m worried about Mykel. He’s been under a lot of stress, and it’s not something like his finance or his boards can help him settle this out. He needs

ADLEYOn my last visit to my OB, she prescribed something for my morning sickness. I was also now on prenatal vitamins.My baby was healthy. My little peanut had grown so fast. I felt like I had not been able to breathe freely until my OB announced my baby had ten fingers and ten toes.I knew this trip would be a little bumpier than the last one—this time, I had to protect this little human inside me. I also had to keep my hormones at bay and ensure I would not throw up in front of Mykel.“Baby, breathe.” Mykel looked me in the eye as he held my hand tight. “You’re gonna be fine, just like the last time.”“Yeah. I know.” I nodded. We’re gonna be okay. “I’d rather sleep the entire trip.”“Of course.” He smiled. “Thank you for doing this.”“The least that I could do.” I closed my eyes. The last time I remembered was Mykel whispering sweet words into my ear while he brushed my hair with his fingers.We finally landed. I used to be okay with the weather in LA, but this time, I felt like I

MYKELJax was always hyperactive, as if he just received his sugar rush—he never ran out of energy. After we played in his room, I felt like running miles while he was still zestful. His laugh was so rich, and how he looked at me with so much innocence warmed my heart.He was full of life. Deep in my heart, I loved this kid and wanted to protect him from this cruel world as he explored and learned about life.“Let me check on your new friend and mommy, okay?”“Adley.” he nodded, still beaming. The mind of kids still fascinated me. They remembered almost everything, even their first encounter.“I’ll be right back.” I dragged myself out of bed.I found Adley and Jade still talking. Adley looked like she had been crying. I knew this situation I put her in was immensely difficult.“Is everything okay?”They turned to look at me.“We were just talking about her pregnancy and college days,” my wife replied.“And how Jax instantly likes her,” Jade added.“Yeah, I noticed that.” I smiled. “An

ADLEY I decided to work on my emotions. I thought women could agree that not all pregnant had experienced what I was going through right now—maybe it was all in my head. I started yoga ten minutes ago, but my mind was somewhere, and I couldn’t push every thought out of my head. I took a few deep breaths and started with seated poses. I was just about to begin stretching when Mykel sat in front of me, glaring. “What?” “Are you planning on leaving me?” I was taken aback by his question. Judging by the slants of his eyebrows and eyes, he was not joking. I should make things clear between us that no one should ask this kind of question to me early in the morning. “What kind of question is that?” “A valid one. It’s in your itinerary.” “So you’re going through my stuff now?” “I was pissed off with your phone. Who are those people who kept calling you early in the morning? And you always kept your phone silent when you’re at home.” “Actually, not on silent mode, but I kept the vo

MYKEL Last night reminded me of how I had a great life with Adley. For the first time in weeks, I slept like a baby with my wife curling, clinging to me. I forgot how good sex was. I poured out my feelings yesterday, and it paid off. I got my wife back, and I was back on track. As much as I loved to cuddle her, I couldn’t fall back to sleep. I did a few lifting and setups. I was in the middle of my push-ups when I felt I wasn’t alone anymore. “I’d love to see you butt naked while doing that.” My lips curved into a wicked grin. “If you’re naked beneath me, I’d love to do a hundred more.” I rose to my feet. “Morning, beautiful.” I kissed her on her lips. “You’re up early.” “I was planning to take you from behind and then sleep again, but you were clinging to me, and I couldn’t do that unless I woke you up.” “Silly.” She rolled her eyes, turning on her heels. “We’re Facetiming with Jax later, and then we’re visiting Grandpa.” “What did I say about being spontaneous?” “Last nigh
