Nikki Love
Sophieâs staring at me as I steer the small Porsche out of the security gates and onto the highway. I used to love my little Ford Focus, but it wasnât hard to part with it when Dario presented me with the silver 911. Screw womenâs lib and self-sufficiency. I love the damn car. And now Iâm maneuvering it into the traffic as if Iâd been driving it all my life. While tearing a strip off my fucking father as he tries valiantly to weasel his way back into our world.
âDonât make me warn you again,â I snap, fighting to keep my cool as I slip into the fast lane.
âBut babydoll,â his voice whines over the car speakers. âIâm your old dad, andââ
âYou donât deserve to call yourself that,â I interrupt him. âI called you today to let you know youâre no longer welcome in our world.â
Iâd been mulling over how to deal with him for a while. Heâd given up messaging me when I blocked his number yet again, but heâs been calling Sophie. Upsetting her.
âWell, Iâll wait to see what Sophie says about that,â he says. My blood boils to tipping point.
âYou can ask her yourself right now,â I say smugly. âSheâs sitting next to me.â
Sophieâs eyes widen as she looks at me.
âSophie!â Dad says brightly, as if she might be ready to disagree with me.
âIâm letting Nikki handle this conversation, Daddy,â she says softly. I reach for her fingers briefly and squeeze them before putting my hand back on the wheel.
âYou are no longer our father. You will never try to contact us or speak about us to anyone, am I clear?â I bark. Iâm so furious with this man, I wish heâd never been part of our lives.
âBut Nikki,â he tries again.
âYou fucking sold us, you fucking cunt!â I practically scream. Sophie takes a sharp breath. Sheâs never heard me use language like this. But if thereâs anyone on this planet who deserves it, itâs the man on the other end of the line.
He makes a small sound. I donât know why heâs putting up so much resistance to this idea. Itâs not like we were ever closeâ¦unless he wanted something.
âYou stay out of our lives, do you hear me? Donât call. Donât write. Donât send fucking flowers. And if you everâ¦ever pull another stunt like that again, I swear, I will fucking end you!â I hear him suck in a breath. Sophie does too. But Iâm not kidding. âYou know what I mean, donât youâ¦Daddy?â I sneer. âYou know who I share my world with, right? What could happen to you, if I gave the word. Just one wordâ¦Daddy,â I sneer again. â
âBut b-babyâ¦â he stutters.
âTry me,â I say softly. âGo on, I dare you. Just fucking try me.â Oh God, if only he know how tempted Iâve been. I know all Iâd need to do is give Dario the faintest suggestion that I wanted the scum removed from the planet.
The only reason I havenât is because I donât want my man tumbling back into that dark world.
