The bar was busy at this time of the day, loud music played in the air as people drank and danced in merriment. Raising a shot of vodka to her lip, Maya downed the drink in one gulp, blowing a breath as it burned her throat.

She had a great day. She felt connected to Silver again, and she was excited about her newfound interest in Aaron. But all it took was going home and experiencing yet another chaos for her mood to go crashing down.

This was all her father's fault.

Maya hated him. He had never been supportive of her or put her first, but at least he cared for Burke, and that made her tolerate him. But then he had to just go mess with Burke's marriage and ruin things for everybody.

And then he made a bigger mess with his will. Maya couldn't think of anyone more self-centered than Bartholomew Carrington. He was an absentee father and husband; a loud drunk too, but to outsiders, he was a saint because he was perfect at putting on masks.

Maya groaned, motioning for another round of sho

  • My Ex Husband's Father Is My Baby Daddy    Invisible

    Silver came to consciousness with her heart thumping hard; someone was in her room. She refrained from opening her eyes, listening to the intruder's movement.She heard them walk to the couch, they plopped down on it, and opened what she assumed was a bottle of alcohol. The scent of liquor immediately reached her nose, and Silver grew further unsettled.She cracked one eye open and squinted in the dark room to recognize the person. It was Maya. Silver sighed.Pushing up, she stared at her drunk friend in annoyance.“Maya? What are you doing here?" Silver snapped in irritation, Maya belched loudly, and giggled."I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you.” She cackled.Frowning, Silver got off the bed and went to flip the light on. Her eyes caught the bedside clock, and she saw that it was 3 AM. What was she doing here?“Are you okay?" Silver found herself asking as she moved closer to Maya. She didn't look good. She was still in the same clothes she had on when she left the hospital, which

  • My Ex Husband's Father Is My Baby Daddy    Time To Move On

    The car rolled to a stop in front of the mansion. Silver came out, her body tense as she prepared for yet another fight with Burke. He's been insufferable since Maya left, and because Felicia had to remain at the hospital, he fell under Silver's care, something he's decided to make a living hell.Silver knew she could easily walk away, have him hire a live-in nurse, but she couldn't possibly live with herself if something happened to him because she left him under the care of a stranger.Sighing, Silver removed the wheelchair from the car's booth before going to his side of the car. She opened it and met Burke still leaning on his back, his expression that of someone who had all the time in the world.She groaned.“Burke, come on, you have to help me help you, please." She said softly, trying to appeal to a conscience Burke clearly didn't have.“Don't make me leave you here." She threatened, his head snapped towards her, his eyes sharp and furious.“You wouldn't dare." He snapped.Si

  • My Ex Husband's Father Is My Baby Daddy    You're Alive

    Three hours. Three excruciating hours, that was how long Silver and Maya waited for Burke's surgery to be done. Felicia was checked into a psych ward during the period, and Maya went in to check on her, but Silver didn't leave. She couldn't. Not when Burke was opened on a table somewhere, and she wasn't sure he would live or be able to walk again even if he lived.She called the boarding school and spoke with Mathias as Maya was visiting Felicia. Aaron arrived at some point, and they both sat in silence. When Maya arrived, she was startled to see Aaron, who immediately stood up and left after exchanging awkward greetings.If Silver weren't so worried about Burke, she would pause to wonder what the problem between the two was. Eventually, the doctors came out and told them Burke was out of surgery, but they couldn't assure them that he was out of the woods yet until he woke up.So Silver sat beside his bed all night, willing him to wake up. He eventually did exactly at 5 AM the next

  • My Ex Husband's Father Is My Baby Daddy    The Matriarch Breakdown

    Burke landed at Silver's feet with a loud thump, his clothes dirtied from the trip down the long stairs. Blood pooled by his forehead, a pained groan escaping his lips as he tried to move.He tried to stand up and a sharp cry of pain left him, making Silver jump back. Her heart beat faster in her chest, and sweat gathered at her brows.It all happened so fast. One minute, Burke was trying to hold Felicia; the next, he was rolling down the stairs while Felicia screamed in horror. It was obvious the woman hadn't meant to harm her son, and the way she ran down the stairs after him was all the proof needed.Silver snapped into action, rushing towards Burke. She didn't know where to touch without causing him further pain, so she grabbed his suit jacket.“Burke, can you hear me?" She whispered, leaning over him. The man groaned as he tried to move again.“Get away from him! Get away from him, you evil woman." Felicia yelled as she reached the landing, lurching towards her son. Silver quickl

  • My Ex Husband's Father Is My Baby Daddy    The Funeral

    The parking lot was busy as the Carrington family arrived at the church, eyes following their movement. Felicia had insisted they all arrived together, putting her hate for Silver aside for appearances' sake.As they entered the church, people greeted them; many mistook Silver's presence as a sign that she was back together with Burke, much to both Silver and Felicia's dismay.Inside the church, an empty casket sat before the altar, a reminder of the body that was never recovered. Silver looked away, gripping her mother's hand tightly.“Let's find a seat," Tatiana whispered, and Silver nodded, sniffing. Bartholomew had come to mean so much to her in the past three years that she never thought this day would come so quickly.They all walked to the front row, and as they sat, Felicia glanced at them.“Try not to embarrass the family." The woman gritted out, irritating Silver, but she held her tongue; she wasn't going to give her the satisfaction of ruining the funeral.The Pastor climbe
