Chapter 5 He's My Son

Daisy Pov

"It's lovely to know that you have found out already. You were just the means to an end. Daisy, meet the love of my life, Sophie Williams.” Robert said with a small smile and I staggered back.

“What are you saying, Robert? Do you realize what you just said? To my face? I am your freaking wife!” I yelled, angered and hurt.

“Only on paper. We are signed as man and wife only on paper. Not once, never did I consider you as my wife. I have only ever loved Sophie. But when I discovered you were my fated mate, I thought what better way to elevate my status than to marry the daughter of the Alpha of the pack? That's how our marriage came to be.” Robert said and I staggered back slightly holding the table behind me for support. 

“How could you do this to me, Sophie?! You're the only person I trusted after my mother. I took your advice over her own every time. Why would you go all out to hurt me this way?” I asked her, tears running down my eyes. I couldn't believe it. It seemed like my worst nightmare was happening, and what had happened to my mother years ago was happening to me. 

Fuck. I wished I had looked closely to see and understand what Robert was doing. The signs were there. I ignored the red flags stupidly because of love, and see where it has gotten me. A sea of emotional disaster.

“Sorry but not sorry, Daisy. Robert was mine first. He has always been mine. He belongs to me. You stole him from me because of that stupid fated mate bond. And now I am here to reclaim him. Do you know how long I have had to battle being in your shadow? It's been way far too long. I have hated you, hated the attention you got simply because you were the Alpha's daughter. The whole school kicked your feet simply because your mother's family was rich. How could I compete with you? Robert is the only person who loves me for me, without caring what background I come from. And you just had to come along with your stupid mate bond and steal him from me!” She spat with such venom that it shocked me to my bone marrow.

“How come you're filled with so much hate? I treated you like my own, like my sister. Like the twin sister I never had. I shared everything with you. Did everything with you. I trusted you so much. How could you, both of you, the two people I love so much betray me like this? What did I ever do wrong?!” I said, collapsing on the floor and clutching my chest as I let out the cry that I had been holding.

“You are a naive girl, that's what I hate so much about you. You have your nose stuck up in the air, thinking everybody is at your beck and call and that you can have the love and attention of everybody just because of your Noble line. Guess what? I made it my duty to show you your true self. Your pathetic pitiable self. And I'm glad, extremely glad to see that the great Daisy Winans is in a crumbled-up pile, crying in front of me with a broken heart.” 

Robert said with so much vile that I had never heard in his voice. I couldn't believe that he was the same sweet Robert who had been extremely nice to me in the past two years of our marriage.

“You should have chosen one of the other two people you were fated to mate with. But you chose him. And he chose me. And that's the sick fate we are subject to. I guess this is the part where our friendship ends.” Sophie said and laid back in bed.

I wiped my eyes and walked out of the room leaving the both of them. Wearily, I looked at the clock. It said 7:30 pm. I sighed and walked into my bedroom. I looked around it, memories of the times I shared with Robert flashing through my head like it was all a dream. My tears burst out freshly as I collapsed on the bed crying my heart out. I had been abandoned by my Father, and now I had been abandoned by the two people I believed had my back; Sophie and Robert. Mother was the only one left.

I sat up and dialed her phone wanting to hear her voice. “Mom,” I said, my voice shaking.

“What's the matter, Daisy? You don't sound alright. Are you okay?” She asked worriedly and I giggled wearily.  Trust my mother to figure out when something is wrong with me.

“I'm fine. I just wanted to hear your voice.”I said. 

“You don't sound fine, Angel. Are you sure you don't need my help?” She asked and I shook my head.

“I'll talk to you about it tomorrow, Mom. Can I just hear my son's voice.?” I asked.

“He has gone to bed already. I'll bring him to you tomorrow.” She said and I nodded.

“I'll text you a location to bring him to. Don't just bring him home to my house. Don't ask why.” I said and then Robert and Sophie burst into my room.

“I need to go now, Mom. I'll talk to you tomorrow.  I love you.” I said and ended the call. I wiped my eyes and turned to look at them. “What do you guys want?” I asked.

“Did I just hear you say that your Mom should bring Kenneth to a place that you'll text her?” Robert asked and I looked at him.

“Yes. He is my son and I'll take him from you. I don't mind if I have to fight with you via the court to get custody of him. But I refuse to leave him with his toxic father!” I fired and Robert looked at me, and then looked at Sophie. Together they burst into laughter.

“Why? What are you laughing at? Oh, I am now a laughing stock to you?” I asked angered at the fact that they were laughing.

“We were just laughing at how Naive you actually are. Daisy, are you blind? Have you never looked at Kenneth well?” Robert asked and I looked at him, confused.

“What the hell do you mean by that?” I asked exasperated and exhausted.

“Kenneth has a resemblance to me. It's so obvious you never even considered that fact. And that is because Kenenth is my son. My biological son. And his mother is Sophie.” 

I stumbled into the bed in severe shock. Kenneth was Robert's biological son? How was that even possible? 

“How is that possible? The test results said you could never Father a child. You have a low sperm count. You can never be a father. How then is Kenneth your biological son?” I whispered weakly.

“That was a lie. I didn't want to have a child with you. So I paid the doctor to forge the results in a way that I'll make me look like I couldn't be a Father.  But Kenneth is my son. And Sophie is his mother. We had been seeing each other even after you and I got married. And she got pregnant. We wondered how we were going to keep hiding the secret from you and from the world. So you could only imagine my joy when you brought up the idea of us adopting a child.  Of course when I had a biological child outside. I simply made it legal for him to be your successor.” Robert said. 

Anger surged through my body and I stood up from the bed. I walked towards him and I slapped him hard on the face.

“So it was you. You caused me to have that miscarriage.” I said, now understanding the stupid game plan.  They arranged this so I couldn't have kids of my own. 

“Yes. It was our plan. Sophie and I. It was the only way we could ensure that our son became legitimate and could inherit your properties. I laced your drinks with drugs that caused you to miscarry.” He said.
