All Chapters of Her Ex-husband's Deception : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Skylar’s POVThe next day is a blur as I busy myself cleaning the whole house and take care of Jared as I anticipate a particular mail. However it isn’t until three days later that the contract comes in. I read through the contract and angrily call up Jason. “You can’t do this, Jason! I’ll put up with you divorcing me and whatever else you want to do but you can’t take my son away! I refuse to let you do that!” I yell out the minute he answers the phone.“You signed the papers Skylar. The contract states that you’ll willingly sign your parental rights over to me when the baby is weaned. You can’t back out now.”“I don’t know anything about this contract! Why are you being so cruel to me? What did I do to deserve all this?” I ask him, shocked that the Jason I trusted and was friends with will do something like this.“Have you signed the papers? I’ll be bringing my girlfriend over later today to get her acquainted to Jared. I don’t need you lashing out or causing a scene, understa

Skylar’s POV He looked just like the picture I had of my father with the exception of his hair that was raven black and the fact that he was slightly younger. Sharp brown eyes stared back at me as we spoke. He looked tired and not just the work kind of tired.Apparently, his six year old had witnessed the death of her mother and seven other people in a bank robbery gone wrong. Someone had tipped of the police and the mother and child were among the people held hostage at gunpoint by the robbers for over ten hours at when the police had got to them, the robbers had panicked and shot twelve people, eight of which had died before they could reach the hospital, his wife included. His little girl, Valentina, hasn’t said a word since, coupled with other signs of trauma and has just recently started having night terrors.By the end of our meeting, I have agreed to move over to Pittsburgh which should be about four hours from New York City where I stay, to monitor her and try to help her

“I don’t think it’s wise to send her to school this fast.” I mutter to Emilio. We were currently watching Val play in the backyard, occasionally having to play along with her, Although she mostly sought after her father claiming that she didn’t want to tire the baby ‘living in Aunt Sky’s belly’.“Why? She’s back to her normal self now. I want her to develop in time with her peers. Keeping her at home will only delay her… don’t you think?” He says. I don’t reply immediately, opting to walk towards Val and put her hair in a ponytail because it’s been getting in her eyes. When I sit back down I take a sip of my ginger tea before turning to face Emilio. “While I think that you have her best interests at heart, I must also present you with a psychological view as her therapist. She might withdraw if we rush her into society again. Let’s not forget her anxiety. I want her to leave all this behind too, but it’ll take time. She might be okay running off in the yard when it’s just us, but wha

Pittsburgh Pennsylvania Emilio’s POV The next few months pass quickly. Not much happens other than the fact that Skylar’s pregnancy almost took a turn for the worse after she had a slip on the stairs. The details of the incident is nothing but a blur in my mind, but I vividly remember the fear and horror on her face when I found her lying in a puddle of blood. The whole way to the hospital, I kept praying that I don’t get pulled over with the amount of traffic rules I disobeyed. I had to wait a few hours in the hospital before I could get news about her condition and then I remembered that Val was home alone. I had to call a friend to go get her from the house and about an hour after I got a call from him. Val had apparently woken up and saw the blood that I hadn’t cleaned or covered in my haste. Shed hurt herself in the midst of the panic attack she’d had and he was bringing her to the hospital to get checked for a concussion and the likes. Honestly, those were the most horrible fo

New York CityJason’s POVI’m startled by a knock on my door. “Come in.” I say in a monotone voice. My mom steps in, holding Jared’s hand. Over the years, my parents have relented. Letting me meet my son, although they refuse to let him anywhere near Alex. And yes, we’re still together. If I want to spend a night with Jared, I have to go over to my parents house, so I spend most days at their place. Our relationship has been strained and sometimes I feel like a failure of a sin and a father. My parents decided to raise Jared with the truth about his parents. Jared knows who his mother is, and why she can’t be with him. I think he resents me a little bit for chasing her away, although he doesn’t act or say anything that insinuates that.I immediately stand to greet my mom, with a peck to her cheek. Then I pick Jared up tossing him in the air. I relish in the sound of his innocent giggles. One of the only times he lets go around me.“To what do I owe this visit, your highnesses?” I
