Chapter 7 - The Truth About Jason
Ethan recovered.
He finally told me everything.
He had met me under the name Jason because he was hiding from his father.
He loved me.
But when I became pregnant, Richard discovered us.
He threatened my life.
So Ethan disappeared.
I hated him for it.
But I understood him too.
“You should have trusted me,” I told him.
“I know.”
“You should have fought.”
“I was afraid I'd get you killed.”
“You don't get to decide what risks I take.”
He nodded.
“You're right.”
We forgave each other.
Not as lovers.
But as parents.
Ethan wanted to be part of Mia's life.
I agreed.
Adrian supported it.
That surprised me.
“You aren't jealous?”
“No.”
“Why?”
“Because Mia needs her father.”
I smiled.
“And you?”
He looked at me.
May you like
“I need you.”
My heart melted.
