I and Vin are still sitting in my office trying to come up with as much information as we possibly could so we can get ahead of this. But I can't focus, thinking over and over the fact, that I'm a Grandpa and that my baby girl now has her own little one.
"I'm worried, Vin."
My son, vincent turns to me, "About what?" he asks with furrowed brows.
Sighing I rub my forehead, "Nova, she flinches, she didn't get changed the other day, she always looks tired. You can't tell me you haven't seen it."
Sure Nova stands up for herself but I'm not blind, I'm her Dad and even with all that I have missed of her growing up, I know when something is wrong. Like when I picked up my littlest gem, I could tell by the way she walked over to us how nervous and scared she was. Scared of her baby being hurt, just the thought of whatever it is that she has been through gives me chills.
"Your right, there is something wrong, I overheard an argument she had with Dante earlier today. Something over Rowan actually, long story short she had a panic attack and he calmed her down just to turn around and call her pathetic." Vincent frowns as he tells me.
Dante did fucking what?
"Wait... over Rowan? You've lost me, son." I furrow my brows confused at how Nova would even know him.
He nods back at me, "Yeah something about him being her best friend. But that isn't all, did you recognise the ring around her neck or the name on Nia's bracelet?" He points out to me.
"What do you mean?" I ask, what ring and bracelet?
"Nova has a ring on a chain around her neck, I'm almost positive it's Rowans and Nia has a bracelet saying 'Rowan King' engraved on it," Vincent tells me as he gets up for a bottle of amaretto.
I furrow my brows, confused at why Nia would have Rowan's name on her bracelet, "I don't get it, son."
He sat back down next to me and poured us both a drink and glanced up at me, "Come on pops, figure it out."
"What's Nia's full name?" I asked him in a rushed tone.
He smirked at me, "Nia Rowan King."
My mouth fell open, "Gesù," I leaned back in my chair shocked.
"With Rowan, she had a kid with him. Nia is only six months, you think he even knew." I ask shock in all my words.
He gestured that he had no idea, "the question is if Enzo knows of Nia, knowing Enzo he would want her in his life so he will get a shock when he's back here."
"Gesù, I think I will die of shock son."
Now that I think of it, it does make sense why she is partly the way she is, she was left to raise her baby on her own while her best friend went six feet under. I know the pain of losing a loved one, but Cristo I can't imagine how she must have felt losing him while pregnant.
"What I don't understand is how she got on a private plane to get here in the first place," Vin mumbled.
"Or how she finished school already, or what exactly is she involved in on the underground," I mumbled taking a swig of my drink.
"I have an idea," Vin downed his drink, " I don't think we are going to like it though. We've both seen the signs, the flinches."
