You Wreck Me (The Prospect 1)

Chapter 27

Wrecker

“If it’s about packing your house up and selling it, I can get some other guys to do that. You have no reason to leave me again.”

She shakes her head, tears in her eyes. “This is moving too fast, Carter, I want to date first. Yes, long distance, before I am fully ready to be with you always.”

“Harlee, please don’t cry.” I tug her out of her seat and into my arms.

“Don’t you two look cozy. You might be mad but my plan worked did it not? You two are back together,” Demon says as I hear a lighter flick and the smell of weed filling the room, I completely forgot where we were for a moment.

“Don’t, dad, just don’t. Seriously. I’m so fucking pissed at you.”

“Did you tell him yet?” Harlee stiffens in my arms and pulls away.

“Tell me what?”

“About your daughter,” Demon huffs out as he takes a puff from his joint.

Harlee’s face instantly pales, all color draining out of her cheeks.

Jumping up, she snaps at him, “Shut up!”

“I already know about the abortion. I don’t like it but I understand.” Not really, I’m just saving face in front of him. I?

?m still so fucking pissed about it. How would he have known it would be a girl?

“Abortion?” He chuckles. “I’m talking about the kid she has up north at her aunt’s place. Gladys. I always hated that bitch but she does take good care of my granddaughter.”

I look to Harlee as tears stream down her face. “What the fuck is he talking about?” Please tell me she doesn’t have a kid by some other fucking guy. I would hate to kill him but I wouldn’t be able to look at him knowing he had a kid with her.

She shakes her head back and forth.

“Do you have a kid? Who’s fucking kid, Harlee?” I roar getting in her face not wanting to believe it but her look tells me that Demon isn’t lying.

“Our kid, Carter. I was going to tell you but the timing hasn’t been right,” she whispers, falling to her knees at my feet, clutching my hand.

I yank away from her and resist the urge to kick her right in the pussy. “We have a daughter and you never thought to yourself in all these days we have been together to tell me? Why the hell did you tell me you aborted our child?”

“I’m sorry, Carter. I was so angry at you, I wanted to hurt you, so I just blurted that out. I did it to protect her,” she sobs wrapping her arms around my legs.

“Get off me, Harlee.”

“Carter, please?” She looks up at me and I can tell she’s sorry but that doesn’t change shit. I have a kid who doesn’t know me. A kid being raised by someone I don’t even know. My chest aches and I can’t bear to look at her anymore right now.

“Bitch, let me the fuck go!” I yell at her. She falls back, staring up at me, tears running down her face.

As she stands up, she goes from upset to pissed. Why is she fucking pissed off? I’m the one who should be pissed. “What was I supposed to do, Wrecker? Huh? If I had stayed and let you know about our child, was I supposed to take you back instantly? Play the fucked up junkie housewife and when our child would ask about you, why you weren’t home say ‘Sorry baby, daddy is out with his club, fucking other women, trying to make you lots of brothers and sisters.’ Huh, Wrecker!? Is that what was supposed to fucking happen!?” She screams in my face.

Her words kill me, because chances are, that’s exactly what would have happened if she had stayed and I knew about our child together. But I’m still so fucking pissed off, I don’t want to even look at her right now.

“Carter, I’m sorry, I really am, but please. Let’s talk about this.” She comes to me, trying to wrap her arms around my neck.

“Fuck off,” I growl and pull her away from my body by her hair flinging her to the wall. She collapses on the floor sobbing uncontrollably and I go to the door and walk out it without looking back. “Fucking cunt.”

Fuck this shit. It’s too damn much. The bitch ain’t worth all the Goddamned pain.
