Then, he burst into mad laughter, looking up. So, Nicole, turns out I damn love you, ha-ha
A towering figure at six feet two, laughing bitterly, tears flowing down his cheeks. He loves her, but her love for him has vanished
Nicole felt only fear. Is this what you call love? Driving me to the edge? This isnt love. Its a possessive obsession. You are utterly selfish, a scumbag, trash, a bastard Nicole threw caution to the wind. With him revealing her secret, she felt like wrecking it all. No need to pretend now.
Jarrod, far from angered by her outburst, actually began to chuckle.
Its fine. I dont need your affection, I have my ways. He said firmly, Nicole, Im taking the child back.
This was an outright threat from Jarrod. He intended to take the child away from her.
On the verge of madness, Nicole exclaimed, By what right? Hes my child! How can you just take him away?
Jarrod threw the paternity test at Nicoles face, his tone icy and merciless. Im the childs father, he said. Nicole, you think you can challenge me? What makes you believe you can take the child from me?

Jarrod was not taunting her. He wouldnt need to exert much effort to legally secure custody of the child. Nicoles medical history alone would testify that she wasnt a fit guardian.
Youve always wanted to leave, to be with that man, right? Jarrod smirked a little, nodding at the door. Theres the door. You can leave right now.
How could Nicole leave? Walking through that door meant fully abandoning Austin and giving up her last chance.
Sitting on the floor, Nicole stared at the paternity report, which revealed a 99.99 match, a cruel irony. Was this child really what Jarrod wanted? No, she suspected the child was just another way for him to control her.
Nicoles eyes glazed over as she managed a bitter smile. Jarrod, are you trying to destroy me?
Those words pierced Jarrod like a knife to the heart. He felt as if something was hollowing him out, corroding him from the inside. His love for her was real, but so was his hatred. Why did she always have to be like a venomous creature, always striking out to wound him?
He looked at her coldly. Do you want to see your mother?
Nicoles empty heart fluttered weakly. Slowly, she turned her head to him like a puppet and let out her words, one by one. What did you say?
Your mothers alive, Jarrod stated.

.
Just hearing these words, Nicole deflated like a punctured balloon, all her resistance and defiance vanishing instantly. Jarrod held all the cards now. Her son and her mother.
Nicole was lifted into Jarrods arms like a limp doll, her head resting under his chin as he inhaled her scent, the very one he had longed to inhale.
Nicole, you know what I want. Stop being so stubborn, okay?
Even the doll-like her, held in his arms, could turn his heart, hard as stone, into a complete mess.
Jarrod kised her hair fervently, his voice raspy. Do you want me to surrender? I will. Just dont run away anymore. Never again.
For the first time, Jarrod had yielded. Even with two trump cards, he felt utterly powerless against Nicole. The idea that she might not be his, that she could leave at any moment, left him on edge.
Locating Austin brought relief to Jarrod. With Austin, he assumed Nicole wouldnt run away. She would be with him forever.
