My hands immediately stopped their anxious movements as my eyes shot up to his. “So you were lying to me! You are with Natalie!”

He burst out laughing as he shook his head. “No, Naomi, I’m not. I haven’t been with anyone since I left your mother. Natalie is a surrogate I hired to give me the child I wanted. I told you I didn’t want to have a child that someone else could take away from me, and before you ask, no, I didn’t have sex with Natalie to get her pregnant. We did IVF a few weeks ago. We used a donated egg with my sperm. She just told me Sunday that she was pregnant. I didn’t want anyone to have any legal standing to try to fight for my child, but I wanted them to be mine biologically.” He reached out to take my trembling hand. “Nomes, listen to me. I didn’t lie to you about anything. I don’t know exactly what Natalie told you, but let me reassure you that until the night we spent together, I haven’t been with any other woman. Even if I had been, Natalie wouldn’t be the kind of

  • More Than Just Her Stepfather   Supporting Naomi

    NaomiI opened my eyes, yawning as I stretched, before I froze with my mouth hanging open. Where in the hell was I? I scrambled up out of the bed, grabbing my shoes before rushing out of the room, only to immediately draw up when I saw Phoebe’s picture on the wall across from my door. My shoulders began to relax as I started to remember why I wasn’t at home. I had spent the night talking to Phoebe about my fears and worries.I was more than a little ashamed that I had even thought for a second that Rip would hurt Becky in any way. Last night, I discovered a lot about myself, and I wasn’t sure if I would ever be able to make it up to him. I sighed deeply as I bent down to put my shoes on before reaching into my pocket to pull my phone out, instantly groaning when it was at 7%. Shit! I needed to charge it. I pulled the notification bar down, smiling softly when I saw that Rip had sent me three messages. Just three.‘I love you, baby, and I’ll be waiting for you to come home. Whenever yo

  • More Than Just Her Stepfather   Finding Candice Part Two

    They exchanged looks, and I couldn’t help the wave of excitement that moved through me as I watched them silently debate if they were going to make a run for it or not. I wanted them to try. I wanted to lay each of them out flat for even thinking about hurting my princess. As I was about to goad them into trying, the sirens were cut off, making me wonder if I had been wrong about them coming to the warehouse. Before the idiots could decide what to do, four police cars sped into the parking lot, slamming on their brakes. Within seconds, multiple officers had the group in handcuffs and were putting them in the back of the cars, while Kyle and Eric walked up to me, frowning.“Mr. Gerrett, you were told to stay away from the warehouse!” Kyle hissed at me.“I know. I was lost in my thoughts, and when I realized where I was, I was already here.” I handed him my phone. “There’s a video in there that you will want to give to the prosecutor. It will prove that they were going to abuse Becky. T

  • More Than Just Her Stepfather   Finding Candice Part One

    Rip (Minor Trigger Warning)After speaking with the prosecutor about making sure that Candice was removed from the picture, I still wasn’t satisfied. I was still pissed off. How dare that bitch have the nerve to come after Becky! Hadn’t she done enough damage with Naomi? As soon as the question drifted through my mind, I already knew the answer. It was never enough for her. All she cared about was money. I knew that when I divorced her. Well, I had known it longer than that, but the divorce made it even clearer. She had spent our entire marriage bitching at me about not being able to give her the life she ‘deserved’.I rolled my eyes. Yeah, the life she deserved. It was always about her, and never about Naomi. I had known that she was going to make Naomi’s life a living hell after I was out of the picture. I just hadn’t thought it would be as horrible as I now know it had been. My poor Naomi. She had been left to be tormented in ways that would haunt me until the day that I died. When

  • More Than Just Her Stepfather   Naomi's Deepest Fear Comes To Light

    She was quiet for a moment before bumping my shoulder with her own. “This isn’t just about Becky, is it?”I sighed as I shook my head. “No. It’s not. The same person who is threatening Becky made my childhood a living hell. Thank you, by the way. Thank you and your son for protecting her. She is too pure and innocent to ever have to go through what I did. If my mother had gotten hold of her…”My voice caught on a sob that made Sarah fully turn toward me to wrap her arms around me. “Becky will always be safe with me, Naomi. Just like I know that Jessica will always be safe with you. That’s how it should be.”I smiled as I hugged her back. “Children are innocent, Sarah. Some adults don’t care, but Rip and I do. We’ve seen what it does to a child to have that innocence ripped away from them. We refuse to let that happen to Becky.”She leaned back, sniffling a little as she gazed into my eyes. “When are you two going to adopt her? She really needs that reassurance.”I swallowed hard. “The

  • More Than Just Her Stepfather   The Reason For Rip's Departure

    Rip turned his head to glare at the officers. “I don’t understand how Candice is even out on the streets! Not after what she’s accused of doing!”“Well, Judge Alexander let her out on bail. We can’t do–”“Did you say Judge Alexander? As in Niles Alexander?” I asked, raising my head to look at them.They glanced at each other before sighing. “Yes, Niles Alexander. Do you know him?”I swallowed hard as I looked back up at Rip before looking at the ground. “I do know him…”His arms immediately tightened around me as Kyle asked, “How do you know him?”“He was one of the men that my mother offered me to,” I whispered as I tried to keep the tears in my eyes.“Son of a bitch,” Rip practically growled. “That judge needs to be removed from the bench and arrested!”“Yes, he does, Mr. Gerrett, and I promise you that we will. We will speak to the prosecutor and–”“No! I will speak to the prosecutor! Candice and that judge, as well as everyone else who touched Nomes and Jenny, need to be off the s

  • More Than Just Her Stepfather   Identities Revealed

    I barreled out of the door, quickly taking in the scene in front of me as I rushed down the stairs toward Becky, who was currently being dragged to a car by a strange woman, while Rip tried to get a hold of her. I ran past Simon, who was shaking his hand as he stood over a strange man who was bigger than him, to get between Becky and the car. I jumped on the woman’s back, sending her flying forward to the ground while Rip grabbed Becky to keep her from hitting the ground. I put the woman in a chokehold, while Rip handed Becky to Sarah, who protectively had Jessica behind her, so he could grab the strange man.“Simon, call the police! Naomi, how are you doing, baby?”I tightened my hold on the struggling woman beneath me as I turned to look toward Becky. “I’m alright. Becky, are you okay, sweetheart?”“I’m okay, Mommy,” she whimpered, clutching at Sarah’s pants.“YOU’RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE!” Rip roared, drawing my attention to where the man was swinging at him, desperately trying to bre
