Vanessa's POV

6 Years Later

"His curfew is by 5pm" I told Richard, handing over Jayden's things to him

He smiled at me, nodding. "Yes, mama"

"Jayden, Daddy is here!" I yelled, checking around to see if I missed anything.

Richard chuckled, pushing my hair away from my shoulder. My body tensed at his touch and so I stepped back. "You worry too much. I'm sure you've packed everything"

"Don't ... Personal space" I reminded him.

"I be failing at that a lot these days, yeah?" He smirked, adjusting the sleeve of my dress.

I spun around, running towards the staircase to get away from him and his torture. 6 years without letting him touch me was doing me dirty but I just couldn't admit it.

My body wanted him but my heart was still healing and I was having PTSD. What if I let him in and he fucked me up again?

Jayden needed a father though and he was doing a great job at it so far. That alone made me see a brighter side to us but then, was he really worth it?
