My entire body jerks as my eyes fly up to look at the woman standing across from me. The way Nash says that Adam looks exactly like me at that age makes me pause. Iâve suspected since the moment I knew of his existence. The time line matches up, but then again, so does her story.
I donât know if I was living in denial, not wanting to believe that it could be true, but now that heâs said it and sheâs not denying it⦠is it true?
Is Adam Turner my son?
My flesh and blood?
âRyan,â I rasp when she doesnât look at me.
Iâm staring right at her, unable to blink as I wait for her to lift her gaze to meet mine. I need her to look at me. Right fucking now. Slowly, almost as if sheâs lifting her eyelids through molasses, her eyes find mine.
I realize in this moment as if Iâm finally seeing clearly, for the first time since she walked back into my life, that sheâs been keeping this from me. This is a secret that Iâm not sure she was ever planning on telling me.
âRyan,â I repeat, my voice a little harder.
Adam senses the tension, and without a word, he slowly melts into the background, no doubt to find some cars to play with or maybe to talk to Nash. Or maybe heâs scared shitless and running off to hide. Iâm not sure, but I canât tear my gaze away from this woman long enough to see where heâs run off.
âHeâs yours,â she whispers.
My heart races, then it grows and practically explodes in my chest. Iâm filled with pride, at the same time, rage flows through my veins as well. Iâm a mix of about a hundred different emotions. Iâm not sure what to say or where to begin.
âPlease say something,â she says, pleading and begging all at the same time.
Three little words have never sounded so strained, and yet I canât oblige her request. I take a step backward, lifting my hand and running my fingers through my hair. Iâm not sure what to say about any of this.
What I want to say will no doubt send her off crying, but maybe thatâs what she needs. Iâm trying to be a better man, a better president, by thinking before I speak or react, but the only things I can think right now are laced with anger.
âYou donât want to know what I have to say, Ryan.â
She takes half a step backward, but to her credit, she doesnât completely cower in fear of me. Although, I think she probably should. The only other time I felt this angry was when she took off with the Nomad Kings MC and took fifty thousand of my fucking dollars along with her.
But I let her go.
My pride wouldnât let me chase after her, but Iâm not that man any longer. Sheâs not going anywhere this time. And she sure as fuck is not taking my son anywhere either.
âSo you were going to keep him from me? Forever?â I demand.
