Nate Jacobs Dad Novels & Stories

He didn’t hit subspace like Ella did, but he was almost there. I leave them sleep as I get up and shower before heading out to the kitchen to make breakfast. I’m scrolling through news headlines when I come across one about the mayor’s party. I start reading it, a grin creeping up slowly the longer I continue. “Yes! That fucking bitch finally got it coming to her!” I say out loud. “What are you all excited about?” Jude grumbles as he makes his way to the coffee pot. “Seems daddy Jacobs has disowned his own daughter. He booted her ass out of the house and cut her off from everything.” I explain.

“I don’t mean bad, Lily. I just don’t want Dad or anyone to say something that can give my children trauma. I’m in Bell City for an assignment, and I’ll leave when I’m done.” Lily only shook her head since she knows Natalie won’t listen to her and just decided to find a way to let everyone meet. “Mom, we will get to see Dad too, right?” Norah asked, her gaze fixed on Natalie. Natalie had once told them their dad is in Bell’s city and they would see him anytime they visited, not knowing it will be soon, but even her, don’t recognize the man plus it’s been six years and Bell’s city is big, she doubts if she can ever meet their father again.

If you could survive living without James, someone you thought you couldn't breathe without, then you can survive this too. With those thoughts, sleep finally pulled me under. When I woke up it was already one in the afternoon. God, my body was genuinely exhausted. I got up and made food, settled onto the sofa with my phone to check emails from Nick or anyone else. Then my heart skipped, several beats at once. The screen was showing message from Dear Daddy. I gulped and opened it. 'I'm sorry, baby girl. I had to leave like that because I had a meeting.' I opened his next message.

"Where have you been all this while?" I asked folding my hands, " come with me," He said and I followed behind. As we walked into another part of the house, he walked towards a seat and we both sat down, "Okay...let me tell you about me now. I left my dad because of his stupid habits of taking women and all that then after my mom died on the day they divorced. I was so heartbroken that at an early age, I had to pack my bags and leave. It's more like I lost contact with him and he never cared too."

It was like he was on the edge and would snap anytime soon. "I'm getting married?" To whom? "To miss Jessica Stones, we've already talked and you had agreed to marry her. After that, you are getting over the company, am retiring and you're no longer a kid" My lips parted to protest but the Sharpe glare Dad sent me was nerving, it was like he was daring me to go against his words like he would bring hell over my head. I decided to swallow back my words and just nodded.

"Why were you in that place tonight? Why was my dad there?" "It's his business." "Bullshit! You fucked him!" People turn and look at us. "Jake, you can't just assume that. It is his business, and that's why he is here trying to talk to you." "Don't lie! I saw the videos, Ruby! I went by yours and pushed past Ivy. I knew you were lying, so I got your phone and figured out the password to the locked videos." Shit. "Jake." "No! You fucked my dad!" Everyone turns and stares. "You're the reason he cut me off. Those few days we went to visit, it was then. So what, he fucks you, and you get my money."

he added, Nate lowered his arrow and turned back to the table to pick up the sharp silver pieces of his arrow “What are you doing here? What do you want?” He fired tonelessly at his dad “I suppose it’s not a bad thing to drop by and see my son” Jacobs replied and he walked slowly towards the table “You mean the son that you ruined his life? You pushed me till I really can’t undo what I did and I don’t think you feel any remorse about it” Nate fired “I don’t think I pushed you…. I think you wanted to do it” Jacobs stopped in front of Nate and Nate raised his head up so he could look his dad in the eye

“Sit, Nate. Let’s talk.” I took a seat. He leaned back, sighed again, then looked me in the eye. “You’re right about some things. Both me and Jimmy Burns fought in Vietnam. Both of us lost our wives, leavin’ you and Jake without moms. And, though you didn’t say it, maybe you’re thinkin’ it: Jake’s dad loves his drink, and I have a beer after dinner every night. But I’m not Jimmy, and you’ll never end up like Jake, Nate. I promise.” I squirmed a little in the rocking chair. I wanted to believe Dad but couldn’t shake my worry. “How d’you know, Dad? Really.”

Kimi said as she dished up some pasta and chicken for herself. Nate grinned at her. “I think I’d still rather stick to bartending. Less stressful.” Kimi went over and kissed the top of his head before sitting next to him. “Did something happen when we were gone?” she asked. “My dad called. Does that count?” he said. “Fuck,” Kimi swore. I didn’t know everything that happened between Nate and his dad, but I’d picked up enough to know that he hates the man who sired him. “That’s what I said,” Jimmy announced.

It was logical. “Nate’s a warlock. He’s fairly powerful, I think, even though he didn’t have much training, because his—” I cut myself off, realizing it hadn’t been spelled out explicitly in our conversation back at the house where they’d found us. No one had bothered to explain, because all of us were all too aware, and we’d forgotten Calder didn’t have the same background. And I couldn’t hide it, even though I wished I could. “Jonathan Hawthorne was his father.” The silence after that went from heavy to crushing.
