Using Baby Daddy For Revenge

“What do I do?” Melissa stood at the closed doors worried she would get caught.

Leaving Steven’s home, Diana got one of their driver to drop Melissa off instructing him to take her straight to her house.

“Miss, your address.”

“Just drop me off at the bus station.”

“No, I can’t do that. Please give me your address.” With the driver’s insistence, Melissa had no choice but to give him one of her coworker’s addresses.

She had been in the apartment once when Nancy had invited her and Jenifer to check out her new place. It being an executive area, to access any of the apartments you had to use a key or call the person you were visiting to open the gate.

Though Nancy would never mind playing along, the night had fallen and Melissa didn’t want to walk into her apartment unannounced.

With the driver seated in the car watching, waiting for her to get in, she rummaged through her bag wondering what to do. She had waved him off hoping he would leave, but he sat there with a keen eye on her.

“What do I do?” She bit her lower lip with a key in her hand praying someone would show up and open the gate.

“Ah!” As her hand got close to the gate, it miraculously opened.

Looking at the middle aged man on the other side, she sighed in relief.

“Thank you.” She said smiling gratefully for his help.

Walking in, the security guard looked at her wearily.

“Are you lost, ma’am?” He inquired walking back to his office.

“No, I mean I don’t live here but a friend of mine does. Though that is not why I’m here. You see I had to get away from someone so I gave him this address hoping he would drop me off and leave.” Following him to the small office by the entrance, she tried to explain.

“The man in the black SUV?” The guard questioned walking into a room with several screens and monitoring all the activities in and around the apartment.

“Yes, yes him.” Melissa answered looking at the screen.

The driver was still there, but he was on the phone probably informing Diana, and a few minutes later, he drove off.

“Is he your boyfriend?”

“No!” She shook her head and then explained. “He is my friend’s driver, ordered to drop me home. Can I stay here for a while? I’ll call someone to pick me up.” Getting her phone from the bag, she smiled at the guard and his partner who had just walked in.

With a nod, he let her make a call showing her to a seat.

As she made a call, they offered her a cup of coffee, got her details and checked her ID to make sure she was not some gang member sent to spy on them. Fifteen minutes later, Adams came to pick her up. The two guards didn’t look surprised she had one man drop her then another one pick her up, God knew what they had seen over the years on those screens.

Thanking them for their kindness, she got in the car as Adam drove off.

“Hi, any new development on the investigation?” A soft knock on the door, Melissa asked walking into Mark’s home office.

Though it had been days since he promised to investigate the Steven’s company as they tried to figure out their illegal businesses, Melissa hope she could get news soon.

“Nothing yet. The police got an anonymous tip about illegal goods being shipped in the country, but they raided the place but didn’t find anything.” He informed turning his attention to her.

“Maybe they knew the police were coming and had the place cleared.” She sat on the couch remembering the documents Diana had brought home. “I felt it was strange Diana brought lots of documents home, guess she suspects a mole in the company.”

“Did you go to her house?”

“Yes, I saw my godmother at the market and she invited me for dinner.”

“Did she?” He asked raising his eyebrows watching her keenly.

“Yes, what are you insinuating?” She questioned meeting his gaze.

“Melissa, that’s risky. I specifically asked you to let me handle this, it’s quite dangerous to be by yourself in their house. What if they did something to harm you?” Not breaking his hold on her gaze, Mark got from his desk to where she was seated.

He knew she had made it look like Mrs. Steven had bumped into her but he didn’t pry more, glad she was unarmed.

“They don’t know what I’m really after, so don’t worry too much about me.” She spoke sitting straight as he took her hand in his. “Ahem, I will go check on Tommy. I’ve not seen him the whole afternoon.” Biting her lower lip she tried to get up, evading the argument.

Still holding her hand stopping her from leaving, he touched her cheek then her lips making her stop biting on them.

Gazing into his eyes eagerly anticipating his lips on hers, she forgot all she had told herself and the fact that he had pushed her away after almost having her on the same couch.

“I’ll come with you.” His lips a few inches from hers, he spoke running his thumb on her luscious lips.

“What?” With her brain functions haltered, she asked as his touch made her shiver.

“To Tommy’s room. We can read him a bedtime story.” He answered dropping his hand.

“Oh! No, you don’t have to. I’ll read to him.” Getting up, she scratched her head, as shame washed over her.

“Damn Melissa, what is wrong with you?” She thought biting her inner lip ashamed to look at him.

With him gazing at her with a smirk on his face, she felt stupid.

“He’s my son Melissa, I need to bond with him.” He said with a raised eyebrow walking to his desk, shutting down the computer.

“Fine.” Not sparing a second in his office, she turned walking out.

“What are you doing?” Melissa stopped a few steps to Tommy’s room as he intertwined his fingers with hers.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Our son would love to see us like this.”

“No, I..” She tried to pull her hand from his but not only did he not let her go, but he also leaned in, touching his lips to hers confusing her more.

The kiss was as electrifying as it did the first time leaving her momentarily paralyzed.

“Let’s go?” With a smile on his face, he walked into the room dragging her along.

When they got to Tommy’s room, her aunt was helping him get ready for bed but on seeing his parent together, he got off the bed running to his father.

“Daddy, can you help me with my pajamas?” Excited to be in his father’s arms, Tommy asked making pappy eyes no one could say no to.

“Anything for my son.” Mark responded nodding his greeting to Betty taking his son to the bed.

“So, can you and mummy sleep here with me tonight?”

“Oh no, no that won’t happen young man.” Recovering from his surprise kiss, Melissa firmly refused though his father was eager to oblige.
