Fall For My Ex's Mafia Father novel Chapter 297

“Fay,” Daniel says, and I hear him take a step closer to me, touching my shoulder. “Who – who is the dad?”

And I spin, yanking my hands away from my face and glaring up at him. “Seriously?” I cry. “You too!?”

“Well –“

“I am not sleeping with anyone except your dad, Daniel!” I shout, exasperated. Seriously, I lose my virginity two months ago and everyone already thinks I’ve got multiple partners? I mean, I guess Janeen would be proud, but –

“He can’t have any more kids, Fay,” Daniel explains, looking at me like I’m stupid.

“Do you two,” I say, looking wide-eyed between them and folding my arms angrily over my chest, “do you seriously keep saying that to me because you think I’m an idiot? That I don’t obviously know this?”

“Well then how –“

“I don’t know, Daniel!” I shout, throwing my hands up, at the end of my rope. “I have no explanations! I am not keeping any secrets! I know what you know! And by the way, we don’t even know if I’m…”

But my words cut off as I realize that I can’t say the word. And my vision flicks back to the little plastic stick, sitting so innocently on the counter. Holding my entire fate.

“How much longer?” Daniel asks after a moment, and I glance up at him to see him clenching his jaw the same way his dad does when he’s stressed.

“About thirty seconds,” Jerome replies, staring hard at the sink like he can see to the other side of the test through sheer will alone.

“Swear it,” Daniel snaps suddenly, grabbing me by the arm and pulling me a step closer to him so that I’m staring up into his too-serious face. He shakes me a little before saying it again. “Swear it, Fay. That you’ve only slept with him.”

“I swear, Daniel,” I whisper, looking honestly up into his face, hoping he can see it there. “No one else. If this…if there’s a baby…it’s his.”
