Accidental Dad Intentional Love

Written by: Young Codex

Chapter Three

I was still shaking when I got into the cab. My stomach churned, but I told myself it was just hormones. Or the baby. Everything felt too much right now, the cold look in his eyes, the way he demanded proof like I'd lied, and the anger boiling under my skin.

I pressed my hand against my belly. It's okay, baby. We'll figure this out. I promise.

The cab jolted forward, and I leaned my head against the window. The city lights blurred, but I couldn't relax. Something didn't feel right. My heart wouldn't stop racing, and it wasn't just from the fight with him.

It felt like I was being watched.

~~~

The cab stopped a block from my apartment. I stepped out, pulling my coat tighter. The streets were quieter than usual, the air biting at my cheeks. I walked quickly, my heels clicking on the pavement, but then I heard it a second set of footsteps, heavy and deliberate right behind me.

I froze.

The sound stopped.

Slowly, I turned around, scanning the dark. My breath fogged in the air. Nothing. No one.

Get a grip, Eva. You're just being paranoid.

I shook my head and turned back toward my building. But then a voice cut through the silence.

"Who else if not the great Eva."

My heart dropped.

I didn't need to see him to know who it was. That voice had haunted me for years.

"Damian," I whispered, spinning around.

He stepped out of the dark, a smirk gummed across his face. His suit was slick, his smile slicker, but his eyes? They were cold, cruel.

"Long time no see," he drawled, his hands shoved into his pockets like he had all the time in the world.

"What do you want?" I forced my voice to stay steady, but I could feel the tremor in my hands.

He tilted his head, pretending to think. "What do I want? Oh, I don't know. Maybe a little chat about your new life? About that CEO you just came out of a meeting with?"

My blood turned cold. "Were you following me?"

He laughed. "You make it sound so sinister. I prefer to call it... keeping tabs. You know you still owe me, right? You walked away before paying your full debt."

"I'm done with that life," I said firmly.

"Are you?" He stepped closer, and I instinctively backed away. "Because it sure looks like you've found yourself another... opportunity. Does he know about your little side hustle? How you took extra cash that night?"

My chest tightened. "You don't know anything about me."

"I know enough," he sneered. "And unless you want me walking into his office tomorrow with all the juicy details, you're going to do exactly what I say."

I clenched my fists. "I'm not going back, Damian. You can threaten me all you want, but I'm not doing it."

His smile vanished, replaced by something darker. "Oh, you'll do it. Because if you don't, I'll make sure your new baby daddy knows exactly what kind of woman he's dealing with. And trust me, he won't want anything to do with you or that kid."

Fear hit me, 'how did he know about my baby?'

In reflex, I rubbed my lower abdomen, a little like was growing inside of me and I'd protect at all cost

Tears stung my eyes, but I refused to let them fall. "Stay away from me," I hissed.

He leaned in close, his voice dropping to a whisper. "You have until tomorrow, Eva. Don't make me come find you again."

~~~

As soon as he disappeared into the night, my legs gave out. I sat on the cold sidewalk, gasping for air. My hands were shaking so badly I could barely pull my phone out of my bag.

I dialed his number the CEO.

He answered on the third ring, his voice annoyed. "What now?"

"I need your help," I choked out. Anyone could sense the tension in my voice.

There was a pause. " about?"

"Someone from my past... he's threatening me. He knows about our baby." My voice broke.

"He's your baby remember?" I heard him say.

He could even be this cold at this point that I didn't even know I started crying. So loud

"Calm down," he said sharply. "Who is it?"

I paused in my tears

"His name is Damian. He used to" I stopped myself, the shame choking me. "He was part of my old life. He wants money, or he'll tell you everything."

The line went silent.

Then, finally, he spoke, his voice low and cold. "Where are you?"

"I'm outside my apartment."

"Go inside. Lock the door. Don't let anyone in. I'll handle it."

"But"

"Now, Eva," he snapped. "Do as I say."

The line went dead, and I stared at the phone, my heart pounding. Now, curiosity pick at me as I wasn't sure if I'd just made things better or worse.
