A billionaires love

Twelve

|||| as our two most it couple make their way home on jacks private plane, I know happiness won't be in the air for much longer. When they land they'll get a shock, a surprise guests waits for someone back home. We smell a whole lot of drama brewing ||||

We get back to jacks house and I know our perfect bubbles going to pop very soon.
We're no longer in Ireland and we're back to reality. I've got questions for my dad, for drew even and I need answers. I need clarity and peace to move on with the next chapter of my life.

Jack strides to his office leaving me in the bedroom to ponder my thoughts. A dangerous territory i think. I know I've got to see my dad, I just don't know how I'm going to do it.
I text jack, not wanting to disturb his work.

Ashley: hi. I'm going to my moms. I'll see you soon.
Jack: how are you getting there?
Ashley: going to call an Uber
Jack: take my keys, they're in my coat pocket on the sofa.
Ashley: thank you. I'll be back soon, I hope.

I root through his pockets, feeling a box I know I shouldn't but I can't help it. I open up, a ring. Fuck. Is this for me? I dig around a little more, getting his keys and quickly leaving, I can't think about a ring or marriage or anything right now. Not until I've dealt with what needs dealing with.

"Mom? Dad?" I call out. Making sure they're home.
"I'm here Ashley" my dad calls from the kitchen.

I walk into the kitchen, where my parents sit at the breakfast bar. A man with his back turned away stands at the side.
"Sit" my mom says, pulling out a chair between them.
This only ever happens when they need to speak to me about something important or if I'm in deal trouble. Fuck. I sit between them, reluctantly as they gaze my expression. An expression of confusion.
"Hi" the man speaks, making me turn towards my head towards him. I frown. I can feel the years of anger burning up inside of me, I'm a ball of emotion ready to explode.
"Lincoln" I snap "what do you want?" I snarl like a wild animal.
"To speak, with you. Alone" he tilts his head to one side.
"No" I snap at him "these are my parents and what you have to say to me you can say in front of them"
He raises his hands "if you wish" he says with. Cocky attitude that angers me even more.
"Hold on" I snap pointing a finger at him "don't come into my family home and think you can talk to me like that.." he try's to speak but I ignore him "you walked out on me all then years ago, you fucking left me. Now what? You want me to be civil and listen to your bullshit? No. You want to be my ex boyfriends family lawyer for two years and not try to contact me? You were his fucking lawyer the duration of our relationship Lincoln."
"Calm down" my mom says, rubbing my arm.
I'm not finished yet "no. You're a disgusting horrible man, who I want nothing to do with. You had my boyfriend lie to me about who his lawyer were, you knew I was his girlfriend. Richard is a caring man, amazing, wonderful human being. Nothing like you" I snap "He's been here for the best part of my life"
"I'm your father Ashley" he pleads "please let me explain"
I shake my head "I don't want to hear it, Richard is my dad, the Dad that I always needed, not you Lincoln"

His phone rings and he leaves the room to answer it. "Just talk to him" my dad says. I might have overreacted to the whole situation but I just can't be civil, I've had years of emotion and anger building up inside of me and im not going to let it slide.

Ashley:my dad, Lincoln is here
Jack: what? Are you ok?
Ashley: I've just blown up at him, I feel a little bad but I just can't deal with him, not now and maybe not ever.
Jack: I'm on my way
Ashley: but I have your car
Jack: but I still have a driver, he's dropping me off, see you soon

My dad answers the door, bringing him into the kitchen he sit besides me. "Hi" He hipsters.
"Drink?" My Dad asks, jack nods his head "please" he says.
"Strong drink? Or something without alcohol?"
He takes a look at my glass of wine in front of me "nonalcoholic please, someone has to drive home tonight"
"You can both stay here tonight, the guest house?" My mom quickly intervenes.
He looks at me waiting for an answer "he will have a whisky, one ice, like you Dad" I smile and he places his hand on my leg.
My dad nods his head and turns to make them both a drink.
"You must be jack?" Lincoln asks from the door.
"I am; you must be Ashley's Dad then" he smiles, politely.
Lincoln nod his head and returns his kind smile. Some sort of father to leave his child? But I bite my tongue and don't say anything.
"Dad?" I say.
Both Lincoln and Richard turn and answer "yes?"
"I was talking to Richard" I snarl "will you pass me the bottle of wine please?" I ask him.
"Yeah" he answers with a loving grin on his face.
Placing the one besides myself and my mom he wraps his arm around me and kisses my cheek "I love you" he whispers.
I reply whispering "I love you too, Dad"
