The Heartbreak Prince (18+)

Chapter 19

Felixa's POV
"Are you both insane? The boys aren't even 2."

"We'll be fine. How's Jesse?"

"He's good. Oh uh...Lix? Dad asked about you."

"Why? He doesn't care about me anymore. Why would he even care? The last time he saw me...he was literally telling me to kill myself. Plus...he stopped being my dad almost a year ago. I never want to see him again. He really hurt me Jason. Didn't you cut him off?"

"I did. But he said he's a different person now."

"And you're expecting me to believe that?"

"No. I'm just letting you know that he asked about you."

"Can we not do this today? Please. It's Christmas. Isn't today supposed to be a good day?"

Axzen pulled me aside when nobody was looking.

"I don't think it's smart if you ever decide to see your dad again."

"I know. We were so close to losing the boys. Why would I want to be around someone like that? I still can't trust anyone but you to get me a drink. I'm still scared. I shouldn't be scared."

"You're right. You shouldn't be."

"Did I ever tell you what he did to me one day?"

"If you did then I don't remember."

"He brought me to a clinic. He was gonna force me to get an abortion. I was fucking terrified."

"I would be too."

"I didn't know how to tell you so I didn't. I know that's bad since we don't keep secrets but I was still scared. Not because of you. But the entire situation was scaring me."

"I just don't want you to have any regrets though."

"I won't have any regrets. He came between us and our boys. I don't want him anywhere near Jax and Bolt. And I sure as hell don't want him anywhere near Phoenix and Kailiah. No way. Can we please just drop this?"

"I've never heard you talk like this."

"He fucked with our family. He's dead to me. Our kids are off fucking limits."

I didn't say anything else. I just walked away.

Axzen's POV
What the actual fuck just happened?

Did we just fight?!

I ran after her.

"Felix? Did we just fight?"

"No. We didn't. We just had a conversation that I hated."

"Thank god. I-I'm sorry if I pissed you off. I-I didn't expect the conversation to turn into that."

"I'm the one who went too far."

After that conversation, we never talked about Pedro again. Felixa's phone rang in the middle of the night a few weeks later.

"Yeah? That's sad. Okay. Bye."

"Uh...what the hell was that about?"

"That was Jason. Pedro's dead."

"H-how do you feel about that?"

"A bit relieved. I don't have to be scared to be around my family now."

"Huh? Baby? What does that mean?"

"He can't come after the boys. He can't make up some story about us being shitty parents."

"Is that why...you hate him now?"

"Basically. He harassed me for weeks once they were born. Remember? We had to change my number."

"I-I remember."

"If I cry...it won't be because, I'm sad. It'll be because...I don't have to worry about him coming back into our lives just to fuck everything up."
