CHAPTER EIGHTY-FOUR-1
GIOVANNI
It’s been a few days since I got the most life changing news, and I’ve been miserable. In the thirty years of my life, I’ve never been so afraid.
Fatherhood was something I’ve always feared, and never wanted. My own father was a failure, and the example that I was taught growing up, was that a man could be a man only when he was the one raising the kids.
I grew up witnessing my father’s anger issues, and his temper. He was the reason why I feared him, and his words always stuck with me. He always unleashed his anger and frustration on us. On me. On my sister. On Dominic.
And I promised myself that I would never become him.
That I would never be like him.
And now, the very fear of having a kid of my own, was the very fear of turning out to be just like my
father.
And there was no way I could ever allow that to happen. There was no way that I could ever be the cause of a child’s misery and pain. Which was why I never wanted one, but I should have been more careful. I was to blame for the situation I was in, because left for Valerie, she wouldn’t let me touch her without protection, the few times that we didn’t use protection, I had probably ran out of them or just wanted to feel a more intimate connection.
I should have used condoms.
But, now it was too late.
Too fucking late.
She was pregnant.
And I didn’t know what the hell to do, or how to deal with the news. I’ve been locked up in my house for days, drinking my feelings and thoughts away, trying to make sense of the situation.
Trying to make sense of how I ended up here.
My phone rang, and I answered.
“Hello.”
“You have a lot of fucking explaining to do, Giovanni.” My brother growled into the phone.

“Don’t play dumb, Giovanni. Hailey told me what happened. The fact that you ran away like a coward and left her behind when she was scared, and needed your support. It’s despicable and you’re a fucking coward. Do you know that you have a lot of balls to leave her when she’s going through this, and she doesn’t need this right now? You should be there with her, supporting her and giving her hope. Instead, you’re the one who took the coward way out, and made her feel like shit.”
“You have no right to judge me, Dominic. Don’t act all high and mighty, because you’re not perfect.”
“At least I have a heart and not a piece of stone. How could you, Giovanni? You’re supposed to love her, and be there for her. She’s going through something difficult, and needs your support. You can’t abandon her, and walk out on her. You put her in that situation, the least you could do is stay with her, and not make her go through this alone. Do you really hate her, or are you a fucking jerk?” “You don’t understand, and have no idea what’s going on. I can’t raise a kid, and the last thing I would ever want is to be a shitty father like our own. So, no, I don’t hate her, but she’s better off
