Semua Bab Claimed By A Father And Son: Bab 111 - Bab 120

Never in a million years did I think I would see Lucian here because, as far as I knew, he was always at school, and the second he came around that corner and saw me standing outside Adrian’s bedroom with Amelia beside me, one thought hit me so hard that I nearly said it out loud.Oh shit.“What’s going on here? What are you doing here?”I folded my arms because I already did not like his tone.“Why is that your business?”His expression hardened immediately.“Don’t you fucking talk to me like that. What are you doing here?”“First of all, you do not get to walk in here shouting at me like I broke into your house. Second, I asked you why it is your business.”“Because I am asking you a question.”“And I am choosing not to answer it.”nLucian looked at me for another second, then his attention shifted to Adrian.“What’s going on here, Dad?”Adrian did not even flinch.“She’s working for me. Long story.”Lucian stared at him like that answer had personally offended him.“Working for you

He did not take his hand off my thigh. He just kept driving with his fingers pressed into my skin like he was holding me in the seat on purpose, like if he let go I would jump out of the moving car and run back to that house, and the worst part is some ugly little piece of me was still thinking about the doorway and Adrian standing in it. “Talk,” I stared at the road because looking at him made my stomach twist. “I already told you.” “No you told me you needed money. That is not what I asked you. What is going on between you and Adrian. Speak.” My mouth went dry so fast it hurt. “Nothing is going on.” He squeezed my thigh and it was not gentle. It was a warning. It sent a stupid hot pulse straight up between my legs and I hated him for being able to do that while I was still mad. “Do not play with me right now, Elena. I walked into that house and you were standing outside his bedroom. You folded your arms at me like I was interrupting something. You looked at him like he was

~Next Morning~“So you lied to him??”Raina said it before I even shut the door all the way.Zia was on my bed with her shoes still on like she came ready to fight me. Both of them looking at me like they already knew. I hated that. I also could not even pretend because my mouth was already twitching and my face was hot and I still felt Lucian from the car and I still felt Adrian from before that and I was a whole mess.“Can you not start like that.”“Start like what,” Raina said. “Like you just walked in here looking guilty as hell? So you lied to him??”I dropped my bag and sat on the floor because the bed felt too close to them. I needed space. I needed a hole. I needed them to stop staring.“Yes,” I said. “I lied.”Zia sat up. “Elena. Look at me. You told Lucian you were not fucking his dad.”My stomach flipped.“Yes.”“And you are.”I put my face in my hands.“Yes.”Raina screamed. Actual scream. Then she hit my mattress with both hands.“Are you stupid. Are you actually stupid.

ADRIANThe second I stepped out of my office, I knew leaving her alone in there was probably a terrible idea.Elena did not handle silence well when she was scared. She filled it. With talking, with jokes, with panic, with whatever came into her head first. If I left her alone for fifteen minutes, there was a fair chance I would come back and find her halfway through planning the child’s college education despite not knowing whether there was a child at all.I shut the door behind me and stood there for a second.Pregnant? NahI started down the hall.Students were everywhere. Talking, laughing, moving between classes like the world had not just changed shape inside my office.I kept walking.The pharmacy was only a few minutes away, and normally I would have sent someone. Normally, I would not leave the school in the middle of the day for something I could have had delivered.This was not something I wanted delivered.I wanted the test in my hand.I wanted an answer.If the test was

ELENAThe second Adrian left, I locked the office door behind him like somehow pregnancy could not get me if nobody else came inside.Then I stood there.Just stood there in the middle of his office with both hands on my hips, breathing too fast and staring at absolutely nothing because apparently my life had reached the point where I was waiting for my boyfriend’s father to come back with pregnancy tests.Amazing.Beautiful.Exactly where I saw myself at this age.I walked to the chair, sat down, stood back up almost immediately, then started pacing because sitting still felt disrespectful to the level of panic currently happening inside my body.“Okay,” I whispered to myself. “Okay. We are not doing this. We are not pregnant. We are simply late. Late is normal. People are late. Flights are late. Deliveries are late. Periods can be late. Everything in life is late.”That actually made me feel better for approximately three seconds.Then I looked down at my stomach.“No.”I pointed at
