Merc🤎🐻
“Merc…” My head shook as I took a swig of my beer. “You haven’t really even given him a chance.”
“I don’t have to. He was flawed and I saw that shit in him the moment we met. The fact that he doesn’t take care of you takes away even less of my respect. He hasn’t proved that he’s worthy of you and can take care of you, and you think I’m about to give him your hand?”
“You are not my damn daddy!”
“But I’m your baby’s daddy, so that’s close enough.”
She huffed and pushed her hair off her shoulder. Sitting next to me, Aries took my hand into hers. I heard the shaky breath she released, but that shit didn’t sway me. There wasn’t anything she could say to change my view of him. Only his actions could.
“Merc, please. I love you, and I value your opinion. I respect what we’ve built. But if I have to choose between your approval and finally getting a man who can love and take care of me… you’re going to lose.”
“You that hungry for love that you willing to settle for crumbs of it?”
Our gaze stayed locked as her nostrils flared. Standing, she charged out of the room, muttering, “You’re not going to ruin this for me,” under her breath.
After she slammed the door, I chuckled with a shake of my head. Even if she didn’t agree with me right now, there was no doubt in my mind that Aries would eventually come to her senses and give that nigga his ring back. He wasn’t worth her, and I’d be damned if I let him influence my son. On the off chance she did marry him, I could only hope he was ready for war, because I was going to make his life hell by showing just how ill-equipped he was to have access to anything that belonged to me—and that included the mother of my first child.
