apartment and what gave him the right to act like he was doing her a favor. And dare he insinuate that I was not a good mother; that I could just sleep while my baby was tended by others.
    However, having just woken up, I was not the mood to argue. I stared at him and his big-ass ego waiting for him to continue.
    “Dylan’s hungry and seeing as you have no bottles or formula, I figured you do it the natural way. So I woke you up.”
    “Where is he?”
    Damien walked away and came back holding my beautiful baby. Immediately after handing him to me, he walked away. Probably to go back to his office. After feeding Dylan and again setting him down for another nap, I walked out into the living room.
    Damien hadn’t left. In fact, he was very cozily seated on the couch, on his phone. His phone rang, and he answered. “What! When?.....”
    Something must have gone wrong with one of his deals. At least now he would leave my apartment.
    When he got off the phone, he turned to me with a frown marring his perfect face.
    “You should go. No one’s stopping you.”
    When he looked at me as if confused, I added, “Your call. I’m assuming it’s work. You should go deal with the problem.”
    “I don’t know why you assumed it’s work, but it’s not. It’s about you actually. You may need to sit down for this because I am assuming you haven’t read the papers.”
    Hearing his tone, I didn’t bother arguing. I just sat down and waited to hear what was so upsetting.
    “First of all, I apologize. It’s my fault you are in this position.”
    Wait, was he apologizing, for what he did to me?
    “I brought back the spotlight on you, even though you’ve always wanted nothing to do with a life like mine.”
    Oh! It was too good to be true. He’d never apologize for that. He thinks that what he did was right, and he wouldn’t take back what he did. Feeling slightly angry at myself for holding out hope, I just wanted him to get over what he was going to say and leave. “Could you hurry up. I don’t have time for all this.”
    He sighed and went on, “It seems the press caught wind of you giving birth and me being the one who drove you there. There are now rumors and speculations in the papers about Dylan and his possible connection to me. They may have even included some insulting remarks about it all. What’s worse, is that there are currently a dozen or some reporters outside this building. They seem to have found out somehow, that I was here.”
    I stared at him, at a loss for words. “What!” I managed to squeak the word out. Suddenly, my temper spiked and I couldn’t hold back anymore.
    “Get out of my house. I don’t want to see you here.”
    “Wait Nikki, we have to talk about this. I can send some men to secure you until this news dies down…”
    “I said leave.”
    “Nikki,…”
    “No! Don’t you dare. Every time you appear in my life, something goes wrong. You only think of yourself. If you hadn’t come looking for me the other day, just to hurl insults at me, we wouldn’t be in this situation. You think you can just walk back into my life like nothing happened and start giving instructions like you own me? No!
    And then today, you just walk into my house uninvited with only God knows what means, take my baby and do God knows what and then pretend like nothing’s wrong! You don’t have any right in me or my son’s life. And what makes you think I’d even accept your help after everything you did to me?
    I am not that desperate. In fact the feelings I have towards you is spite and hate. So pardon me, but I’d appreciate it if you just leave right now and never come back. I’m not going to return to you in any way, contractual or even for help. So just leave.”
    Damien just looked at me, not appearing to have even flinched from my rant. After moments of being quiet, he grabbed his coat jacket, which he had taken off and put on the couch, grabbed his phone and walked to the door. He opened the door,
