Chapter 115 –
(Jamie)
I took Gabriella's hand, my rage reaching a point I had never felt before as I gritted my teeth together.If this was true..I don't even know how I will process it..why was my father emailing Eva to begin with?!
"We are going to put an end to this right now." I snapped, feeling like I could kill that woman..actually fucking kill her with my own two hands.I pulled Gabriella beside me, her big blue eyes peering up at me worriedly as I felt my whole world crumbling around me. If this really is true..it could ruin everything..
Would it be too much for Gabriella? Would she want to leave me? What about our babies and the life we were just starting together?
It can't be true..there is no damn way Eva has had my child all of this time and never said anything about it.
I marched straight to my dad's office, not even bothering to knock as I barged in angrily.
"Mr. Sinclair! Your father is currently in a meeting!" His secretary tried to stop me.
I didn't give a shit though..I wanted to address this now.
"If we have the files by Monday then I can..Jamie? What's the matter?" My dad said before shooting up from his seat and running over. Tucker, a man from our marketing team was sitting in front of his desk and also stood, surprised by my abrupt entrance.
"We need to speak to you...alone." I said as calmly as I could..which wasn't very fucking calm at all.
Gabriella just stood beside me, her eyes locking onto the floor beneath us as she seemed lost in thought..
"Tucker, I need a moment with my son please." My dad said quickly, making Tucker nod once before gathering his things and leaving.
The moment the door closed, my dad turned to me, worry filling his eyes.
"What's wrong? Is everything okay with Gabriella? With the babies?" My dad asked, looking towards Gabriella anxiously as I led her over towards the leather chair Tucker had just vacated.
"Sit down baby." I whispered, making her shake her head no as she gripped my hand tighter. That's when I realized she wasn't worried about the Eva shit..she was worried about me..
"...I want to s-s-stay by y-your s-side." She stuttered as tears brimmed those beautiful blue eyes as I tried to calm down.
"I won't be going anywhere okay? I just want you to rest your feet..please baby, sit down." I said softly, making Gabriella bite her lip before nodding and doing what I asked.
"What is going on? Did something happen?" My dad spoke up again and I snapped my gaze towards him, that anger igniting once again as I looked down in my hand, realizing I was still clutching those papers.
"You tell me Dad..what the hell is all of this?!" I boomed, slapping the papers against my dad's chest as he looked taken aback.
My dad glanced down, grabbing the papers Eva had left as he started to sift through them.
I lifted my arm, running my hand through my hair in frustration as Gabriella stared towards us nervously.
I went to her side, her hand gripping mine tightly as I tried to calm down..I just needed an explanation soon or I might explode.
"How did you get these?" My dad asked, his brow furrowing in confusion as he read through them.
"Eva stopped by, claiming that I have a son and you knew about it. Please..dad..tell me this is all bullshit..Tell me she made it all up and those aren't from you." I begged, looking at my dad anxiously as he let out a sigh. "Jamie..this was something I was handling."
"Handling?! What the fuck do you mean you were handling it..handling what?!" I snapped, and that's when Gabriella stood up and placed her palms against my face.
"B-baby c-calm down.." She whispered..her words causing my eyes to flutter shut as I took a deep breath and tried to do what she said.
"Son..I know this is alarming..but did you even read the emails? This all started after you ended things with her.." My dad began, making my eyes open as Gabriella wrapped her arms around my waist and hugged me..not wanting to sit back down. "What started? Why didn't I know about this?" I asked, making my dad sigh as he walked over to his desk and placed the papers down.
"Eva started to claim that she was pregnant by you. Trying to get me to force you to marry her. I asked for proof..and she never gave it. Then she said you made her get an abortion.."
"I didn't..you know I wouldn't do that shit." I snapped, making my dad nod his head before holding his hand up to try and get me to calm down.
"I know son..I never questioned any of that..and then you got the restraining order and she seemed to move on...until.." He began, grabbing the top paper off of the stack before walking towards me.
"She sent this two years later." My dad said, passing me the email as I looked down to read through it.
Eva went on to tell my dad that she birthed a son that I was the father to. She says she wasn't sure who the father was at first, considering her current husband was also a potential candidate since she slept with both of us around the same time.
"After getting this...I asked for a DNA test..I wanted to make sure that this wasn't a real possibility Jamie..but she refused the test six times. Once I started to really press her..she said it was a lie. That she made her husband take a test and it came back positive so I just dropped it." My dad explained, making me sigh.
"Why didn't you tell me?" I asked, making my dad frown before he slipped his hands into his pockets.
"Because I knew what she had put you through son..you kept a lot of what you were going through away from your mother and I..but when I dug a little further..I found out you aren't the only one she has stalked. Even her ex has filed a restraining order agaisnt her now. She hasn't said a single thing about the child since..so I thought it was over with." He explained and I didn't know what to think.
"W-why is sh-she claiming the ch-child is Jamie's now?" Gabriella asked, making me look down at her a she stared towards my dad now.
"I'm not sure..but I have a feeling it has to do with her divorce..apparently her husband made her sign a prenup and refuses to pay her spousal support considering her harassment towards him." My dad explained and I didn't know what to think.. "Did she ever send you the DNA test she received to prove her ex was the dad?" I asked, hoping to god my father says yes...
I had always used protection when I was with Eva..but when she said something about a fifth time..it was almost like something in my mind clicked..a memory of a night after I ended things and she showed up at a club I had gone to with Rylan. I didn't drink that much and ended up getting more drunk than usual..then I woke up in a hotel room all alone the next morning..I didn't know what happened exactly.
"No, she said she didn't need to and I had no right to ask for it." My dad said, making me feel sick to my stomach.
"What is it?" My dad asked..
I could feel my heart aching from the mere possibility that this could be a thing. But before I could speak, Gabriella spoke up first.
"I th-think we sh-should get a t-test done f-first..just to make s-sure.." She whispered, causing my eyes to widen as I stared down at my wife. I could see the love pouring out of her..the way she held onto me and how she wasn't mad or upset.. How did I get so lucky? To have someone like her by my side and to continue to love and support me even thriugh this..then I remembered..
Gabriella herself was the product of an affair..obviously my situation isn't the exact same..I would never do that to Gabriella..not in a million years..but if this was true, and Eva had my son all of this time..Gabriella might be more understanding of this than anyone.. "D-don't worry b-baby..we will f-figure this out t-together." She breathed before rising on her toes and kissing my lips gently.
All I could do was hang onto her for dear life..to think I could've had a son this whole time..if that's true and Eva was hiding this from me..I know for a fact that I will make that psychotic bitch pay..
