Finding Sky

CHAPTER 14

Jared POV

I can't believe I lost everything, all that hard work I put in gone to waste. I had to suck up to my in laws for years before they even considered giving me a job.

Now everything is ruined because of that d*** and her b**** a** wife. If she wasn't as powerful as she was I would've told her the thoughts that passed through my head. Before I even realized I reached home.

I saw the light on so I know Stella was awake.....here we go. I sighed before entering knowing what's the come on the other side of the door.

"Oh so you finally decided to come home?"

I get why she's pissed after I left the hospital she called numerous times and I rejected each call till I switched off my phone. I just needed time to think and I know she wouldn't have been any help.

"Do I need to check in with you? Am I a child?"

She had a shocked expression after my response mainly because I never speak to her this way. What throw me off was her laughter after the shock wore off.

"Who is she?"

"Who is who?"

"The woman that has convinced you she's better for you. She's good but I'm not Faith Lewiston. Which is why I'm here living her life and she's in an hole."

I looked at her shocked at her words what was I thinking marrying this woman. My mother was right she is a heartless woman.

"That was low even for you and HER name is Skylar Lewiston..........."

"You're sleeping with your daughter? That's sick"

"What?!?! No!!! That's disgusting. Why would you even think that?"

"I asked who is the b**** you're cheating on me with and you said your daughter's name so......"

"If you stop cutting me off from speaking you'd understand what I'm saying."

"Okay speak!" She folded her arms and sat down.

"Good as I was saying the woman who've changed my attitude towards you name is Skylar Lewiston. But it's not for the reason you think, which by the way is disgusting." She shrugged her shoulders.

God, this woman is sick.

"Skylar has figured out about her allowance that you spend every month. That the house is in her name and the company because she fired me technically. I'm not sure how much she knows but it's only a matter of time before she'll be informed about the island and secret bank accounts......."

"There's an island and secret bank accounts why am I now knowing about this?"

I just glared at her she made the sign of zipping her mouth and throwing away the keys.

"As I was saying she'll find out about everything soon and as of today we have two months to find somewhere to live and a new job."

She just looks at me.

"Also the reason you didn't know about the secret accounts and island is because it's strictly for Skylar's use only. She alone has the rights over those things and in order for me to get access to it I have to get her permission. Which would require her meeting one or all of her lawyers to give me authorization. And that would require her knowing about her fortune which could've been a make or break for us. You know now that I think about it we could've just played a happy family for her and got her to give us everything but it's too late for that now."

She continues to stare, "you can speak now."

She signed to me that she couldn't find the keys.

I laughed, "this is not the time for your silliness Ella"

She smiled it took my breath away at how young she looks without makeup.

"So what you're saying is we're right back where we left off 24 years ago? Young and broke."

"Minus the young part yes"

"Hey speak for yourself......everything on me is tight."

"It sure is." I smirked at her.

She laughed, "not the time JaeBear."

"Right right so what do we do."

"What do Skylar wants more than anything?"

"Her mother?"

"Close but no try again."

"Her bachelors degree?"

"Nope......you're getting cold Jae."

"I give up just tell me."

"You can't think of nothing else can you?"

She started laughing at me.

"Sure make a joke of me not knowing my daughter that has taken away everything I worked hard for."

"Ok ok don't get snappy with me. The answer is a family."

"Stella I already told you it's to late to put on the I love you act."

She laughed again, " no that's not what I meant. Your mother is still alive right?"

"Unfortunately yes" I rolled my eyes just thinking of that woman.

She had the nerve to give me and ultimatum.

Sucks for her I chose me I'll always chose me ALWAYS.

Stella interrupted my thoughts once again.

"So I'm thinking we bargain your family which technically is her family as well for this house for you and allowance for me."

"That would not work."

"And why wouldn't it?"

"Because she has powerful support anything we can bargain with they can give her for free."

"Well it's worth a shot, she's gullible we can use that to our advantage."

I sighed, "we can try but I honestly just think we should try and use the sympathy card."

"Okay fine we'll use both ideas." She rolled her eyes.

"Now get to job hunting already there's a new fashion line coming out and I need spending money."

I rolled my eyes and walked to my office. I wouldn't admit this to her but I miss Faith.

Having an obedient and submissive wife is all I ever wanted and I got that plus her wealth.

She would just wait for me to get home and do everything I commanded of her.

She was so perfect up until Skylar's rude birth.

She just gave all my attention to that little b**** and actually had to audacity to be shocked when I cheated.

I actually loved her and she replaced me for some child she barely even knew.

I'm glad the son Stella carried died otherwise I would've lost both of them to my seeds.

I never told Stella but I had a vasectomy after Skylar was born.

And I paid the "doctor" to tell her that she can't have anymore kids after our son's death. I know she wants a child really bad but she'll do just like Faith and give my love to it.

I don't understand why women do that. Why do they think it have nannies?

They have to love the kids not my women.

Had I known that this is what women do after having a child before I would've never had kids at all.

My father always had my mother's full attention, our time was when he was at work or on a "business trip".

That's another thing why would a local policeman need to take so much work trips.

When I figured this out at 13, I followed him when he came for his suitcase.

Apparently his trip was three towns from us at his other family's house. I confronted him that day and his way of parenting was putting me in a coma.

I woke up 5 months later and I've never been the same to this day. I never told my mother but I started to resent the attention she would give him everytime he walked through the door.

That attention should've been on me after he beat the sh*t out of me, I deserved the love.

I found my family and father's other family on f*******: 2 years ago and decided to show them what they've missed out on.

Now I have to use that information to manipulate Skylar into giving us a house and money. If I'd just take the vasectomy after I got married nun of this would be happening. The regrets of having children.
