A Broken Contract (Alpha's Secret Regret) novel Chapter 16

“You were going to run away with my child?" he began. "I should make you pay dearly for that! It's bad enought that -"

“I already told you. He’s not yours!” I cut him off.

“Cut the crap, Sara! The boy recognized me-”

“Alex is a good-natured, friendly kid. That's he waved at you. It doesn’t mean he knows you!”

“Lower your voice.” The warning was issued in a calm voice, but a chill raced through me at his tone.

I swallowed and lowered my head out of that damned, submissive habit. The car was silent as I waited for him to speak.

“He recognized me and you know it! He’s too young to make sense of what he felt, but he knew me! He listened to me!" He sighed.

“Here’s what’s gonna happen. I can’t leave him here with you. Apart from the fact that I forbid him to live like this, I need to be in his life FULL TIME! You've hid him for four years. I'm taking him now,” he said.

“You have no right,” I cried. “He’s not yours.”

“Oh yeah? Then whose child is he?” His eyes shone with anger as his voice took a sharp edge.

“If you're pining him on another man...” he gave a bitter laugh. "That man could get seriously hurt for existing, you hear me? Wait, is it your KIND boss? Are you pining him on that old man?" His brow furrowed like he was truly wondering.

"If you keep saying he's not mine, there are grave consequences, Sara!" he warned.

“You sent your lawyer to offer me money for abortion. Do you remember that?" I asked.

“You rejected it and lied that there's no pregnancy!What’s your fucking point?”

“My point is you don’t even want this child… at least, not with a lowlife like me. Why are you doing this?” I pleaded.

“Here’s what you need to know. Young Alexander Reign leaves here with me this morning.”

“His name is Alexander James!”

He ignored me. Reaching for his phone, he dialed a number and held it to his ear. “Time to go!"
