Chapter 52
“I hate this family so much. I hate Hailey even more. She ruined so much in my life and Cole isn’t seeing that. What the hell am I supposed to do now?” Vanessa cried, pacing up and down the living room the moment Cole took his leave.
“It’s okay, my love. Everything will be fine.”
“No Mom.” She shook her head. “I am not going to believe you this time. You keep saying that but everything seems to be going wrong. Hailey is the bitchy and jealous one. Why does she always want to have what belongs to
me?”
“She can be jealous all she wants but she is never going to succeed.”
“Did you know Hailey was pregnant before she left?” Eric’s voice came through.
“Are you kidding me right now, babe? What does that have to do with our daughter?”
Eric rose to his feet. “In case you have forgotten, Hailey is my daughter too!”
“Wow! Brave of you to say that about someone you’ve publicly disowned. You suddenly want to associate yourself just because she got rich by sleeping around.”
Eric glared at Connie. “Don’t you dare make me look stupid by talking rudely to me? I disowned her because I have done nothing but support Vanessa all my life and what do I get in return? Nasty attitude from you both!”
“You better not be lying to me by saying you have nothing to do with Hailey’s accident. Because if I find out that you both had a hand in it. I will personally hand you over to the corps.”
“What do you take us for? A murderer?” Connie glared at her husband.
“You can think whatever you want but I mean what I said. For your own good, you might as well want to stay away from Cole and Hailey. If you both are jailed, I’ve got no money to bail you all.”
“Why are you talking this way, Dad? Don’t you love me anymore?” Vanessa sobbed. “Besides, I am not the one to be blamed here. He said he wanted to see us. He came here saying nasty things.
“No, I don’t hate you but all of these are becoming unbearable for me. I feel you and your mother are playing with my intelligence by putting me in the dark.”
“I don’t know who to trust between you and Cole. But now that he got the order, just stay the hell away from him till the child is born when we can do a DNA test. I won’t raise a finger if you are sent to jail. Eric said, then stormed out of the living room.
“What have I done wrong. Mom?”
“I have worked so hard. I should be living happily ever after, but here I am. Being the saddest person on earth. Why the hell did Cole get shot on her behalf? If she was shot, she would be long gone and I would be enjoying life right now.”
Connie held Vanessa’s hands. “Lower your voice. Don’t let your father hear you.
“I don’t care! This is so unfair to me. Cole is mine. He liked me first. He had always wanted me. That bitch wants everything that’s mine.”

“It’s okay baby. Don’t worry we are going to sort this out. I give you my word.” Connie hugged Vanessa as Vanessa cried harder into her chest.
“There is no way that bitch is going to win over my own daughter. I didn’t come this far to be a loser.”
“Mommy, when is Daddy coming? I really want to see him. I miss him so much.”
Hailey facepalmed.
Come on Enzo, this is the 6th time you
are asking me this question.”
Enzo pouted with pleading eyes. “Because I miss Daddy so much and I want to see him before I go to bed.”
Hailey sighed, not knowing what she could say to make the little boy calm.
“Im sure he misses you too but I have no idea when he will be here.”
“Can you call him, Mommy? Please?” Oliver chipped in.
“What? No?”
“But why, mommy?” Ollie pouted.
“Your daddy is probably busy.”
“But he promised to be here. I want him to read me a bedtime story.”
“If he can’t make it tonight, he will be here tomorrow, okay?” Hailey assured, hoping her kids would believe her. She hadn’t reached out to Cole to thank him for the gift earlier, nor did she want to talk to him over the phone. She didn’t want to give the impression that she was missing him.
“Come, let’s get you both ready for bed first. After that, we would decide if we should call Daddy or not.” Hailey said to her sons who were still seated on the couch, frowning.
She sighed, not knowing what else to do.
Hailey was about to say something when the sound of the doorbell came through.
“Daddy!”
“Daddy is here!” The twins said in unison, jumping down from the couch and they all ran towards the door. “Wait!!!”
“Slow down Enzo,” Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
“You’re going to fall if you are not careful Olliel”
“That might not be your Daddy. It could be the security dropping off today’s mail.
“The mail came in earlier, Ollie answered, running towards the door.

“Rightl” Hailey said in defeat, going after her kids.
The duo had found a way to open the door before she got there.
“Daddy!” The twins hugged his legs. Cole was in his casual clothes so Hailey was sure that he went home to change before coming over.
Cole smiled. He was holding three gift bags. He entered the house, dumped the bags on the couch by the door and crouched down to the twins‘ height, hugging them.
“We missed you, Daddy!” Ollie voiced out.
“Yes, Daddy. We thought you were not going to come as you promised.” Enzo added.
Cole smiled, staring at his babies with so much adoration in his eyes. “I’m sorry buddies. I was busy with work but I’m glad to be here.”
“Did you bring us presents?” Enzo asked excitedly.
“Yes, I did.” Cole reached for two of the bags and handed them one each.
Thank
T
you, Daddy. They hugged him before running off to the living room to unbox what their Daddy got them.
“Hi. Cole smiled as he reached for the gift bag on the couch and approached Hailey.
“You don’t look happy to see me.”
“Why do you say so?”
The kids welcomed me with a hug.”
She arched her brow. “So you want me to do the same?”
“Something like that.”
Hailey rolled her eyes and was about to leave when Cole stopped her by reaching for her hand and pulling her
closer to himself.
“Let go.”
“Why?”
“Are you shy?”
“Of course not. I don’t want anyone to walk in on us and think we are a thing. Most especially the twins.”
“Who cares?”
“Of course, I care. I don’t want you to think otherwise because of what happened last night.”
Cole smiled, arching his brow, pulling Hailey closer to him. “What happened last night?”
