Dane’s Irresistible Desire

“So, what do you think?” I asked the four. They looked at each other first and then at me. We are all here at my office and I really need their opinion. I told them Wallace and I met on Friday and was there when my baby kicked. I told them that I said the baby was only three months old but Daze turned me on by saying how the three months kicked. “What now?” I asked again.

I told them that after that Wallace and I talked and I said it might be a false kick like Daze said which is I’m not sure there is such a thing. Now I’m asking them if ever they were Wallace would they believe the false kick I said.

“If I were Wallace, yes, I can think it’s true because I don’t know anything about such things. Then your stomach is also small,” Phoenix said. “Didn’t Maggie is like full only when she is pregnant with Joker?” he added. Then Blaze nod.

“You, Zeus?”

“Yeah, didn’t Yara convince me before that I wasn’t the father of the first twin, and I even been fooled?”

“Jace?”

“Did you really ask me, Dane?”

“Blaze?” I call Blaze and ignore Jace.

“No,”

“No?” we simultaneously question.

“I’m not as stupid as those three.”

“It’s crazy, that’s why Maggie and Dylan convinced you that they have a relationship,” Phoenix said laughing.

“Stupid, kissing in front of me what would I think?”

“Enough, so that means Wallace can’t believe either?”

“It depends if he’s as stupid as these three,” Blaze added.

“Wow, you’re smart, Blaze,” Jace said.

“Thank you,” he replied to Jace. “You know, Dane, Wallace can even think that the false kick is real. But if anyone can tell him there is no such thing. He will think about it and learn to investigate. ‘Didn’t you and Zeus insist to Dylan that it is impossible for Dylan to be the father of the twins because you know that there is a real possibility that Yara was pregnant when she left because it is impossible for Dylan to get her pregnant right away? It’s just that the two are really good tandem and the alibi is exactly right, so the lover boy becomes a lonely boy.”

“Fuck you, sucker!”

“Just telling the truth, he can also ask my talkative wife and Jace’s honest wife. Though, it looks like the two of you won’t admit it because they don’t care about other people’s problems. We’re still not sure that they are on our side, especially since they are cousins of your daughter’s father.”

“Fuck!” I was secretly disgusted by what Blaze said. What if Wallace would think so even more mostly he knew I loved him so much. “But he knows my husband is Cooper,” I asked them a consoling question.

“That’s it, he’ll believe it,” Phoenix said so I smiled.

“I think too, especially since he knows that you and Cooper are lovers and you even said that he caught you kissing,” Zeus said.

“He will believe that, Dane,” Jace added.

“You are not sure. If they were really married why didn’t Dane proceed to go? Or why did Cooper leave Dane pregnant or why didn’t he come back?”

“Fuck!” I’m doomed again. Why is everything Blaze says true?

“I don’t know if Blaze is our friend,” Jace complained.

“I’m probably just saying my opinion.”

“Blaze also has a point,” Zeus added.

“You know, Dane, don’t stress yourself, what if Wallace finds out that’s his daughter? That’s really him. You should tell him because he has a right.”

“Not that easy, Phoenix. Not now.”

“Why do you women tend to hide your child? Then you blame us for hurting you. If you hide your child, is it ok? Then when we refuse we are bad? You are not fair,” Jace said.

“Agree,” Zeus agreed.

“Only your feelings are important to us. It’s like you’re the one is hurting, and we’re not,” Blaze added.

“You Phoenix have something to say?” I asked him but he just shook his head.

“He can’t be related because he doesn’t have anything to say to Hailey, he’s just really stupid.” Blaze teased him.

“Stupid, I regret that.”

“That’s enough,” Zeus said. “Don’t bother with that, Dane. There is no issue if he finds out because he is really the father. Not unless you tell him he’s the father he denies it.”

“Stupid, I’ll kill him,” Jace said.

“Backup us,” Blaze and Phoenix said at the same time.

I just leaned over and held on to the bridge of my nose. It’s not that I don’t want Wallace to know we have a child. But because — ah just – I really don’t want him to know. If he finds out, I won’t admit it.

My fool. I want to tell him the truth and then I don’t want him to know either. What is it really? I guess Daze was right that I was getting stupid or my brain confusing when it came to Wallace.

“Oh hey, I’m going home and you take care of it. If you need something just send it to my email and if it’s urgent just visit me at home. You know where to find me,” I said and then stood up. I heard no objection from them.

I also didn’t get an answer to the four so I just thought of going home. The driver picks me up because daddy doesn’t want me to drive. This is my last day at the office because daddy didn’t want me to come until I got delivered. He wants me to take care of his first grandchild.

He suggested that I can work at home and if there is anything that is needed from me they will visit me. I don’t like the idea because I’m not used to staying at home. But for my daughter’s safety, I had to obey.

I was just outside the gate when I saw the familiar vehicle. I can’t be wrong. That car is Wallace’s car. What is he doing here?

Right downstairs I saw daddy and Wallace talking. They were walking down the hallway and headed here to the parking lot. They were talking seriously and I could even see daddy holding Wallace’s shoulder. They shake their hands and look at me at the same time.

Because I didn’t want Wallace to be noticed I am affected by him, I met daddy. I already told daddy when I came home that Wallace thought we were Cooper. He said I am old to handle things and I will take care of my decisions. Just don’t let my child be affected by whatever I want.

I can say that my baby is a blessing. Because daddy’s understanding of me widened. If he trusted me then he would trust me more now especially when it comes to my own wants and decisions for myself and my son. He always gives me his blessings and support.

It is true that the effect of the grandchild is different than that of the child.

“Hi,” I kissed dad and smiled. I look at Wallace, too. “Hi,” I even greeted him.

“Hi,” he greeted me back.

“You got a visit, are you with Dylan?” I ask when I notice that Dylan was not here with us.

“No, I just proposed something to your daddy, about business and I don’t need Dylan anymore.”

“Ah! I see, “I noticed Wallace looking at my stomach so I swallowed. “Something wrong?”

“It’s been three months, isn’t it?” he asked.

“Yup,” I said then looked at daddy. “Why?” Then I looked back at him.

“My child is only two months older.” My forehead frowned because of what he said. Her child? Whose child? Is he referring to me and is he just pretending to know nothing?

“What do you mean?” I ask.

“Are you going to be a father, Wallace?” dad asked while frowning his head.

“Yes, Mr. Dy. My baby is five months old.”

“With who?” I ask.

“Someone that I did not expect to be formed. I also didn’t expect us to come up. I just found out when we met again that I got her pregnant and no reason to deny it was me the father because she’s one of my girls and I am only his man.

“Do I know her?” I asked and I wanted to cry. I only know two people who were involved with him. Me and that — I’m not really right in my suspicion that he was referring to that woman.

“I think. Anyway, I need to go, and nice dealing with you, Mr. Dy.”

“Nice dealing with you, too,” dad replied.

“Bye, Diana. Send my regards to Cooper and congrats again. ”

“Bye, I’ll let him know.”

When Wallace left I looked at dad. When his car finally left, I looked at daddy.

“Dad?” I said tearfully.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t know, Diana Dane. We are here. I am here, daughter. We won’t leave you and my grandchild, ok?” He clasped my face. “Even without Wallace as a father. We are all here to fill her space.”

“Did you accept his business proposal?”

“We do not include personal issues in a business, Diana Dane, business is business as long as the proposal is perfect. You know that.”

“I understand.”ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“Are you ok?”

“I am ok, I need to rest.”

“Ok, if you need anything just tell me.”

“Thanks, Dad,”

And I left dad and go upstairs and there I cried.

‘You’re not ashamed, Wallace, you slept with a woman before you left, you’re an animal.’

And I seem to be sure who that animal is because I’ve seen her once with a big belly. That bitch, I will kill her.

“Don’t worry baby, mommy will love you even if daddy has another child.” I need to be strong for my child. I don’t have to fight Wallace anymore if he’s going to have a family of his own. I even thought of telling him the truth. But not now.

‘You really an ass, Wallace. Better I cut your testicles before I left you.’
