Chapter 8 – Meeting her parents again

Kay Summers

POV

We got to the hospital after leaving the orphanage. We waited in the waiting room. Tarryn was currently in labour and that is all I know. I was super excited about becoming an aunt, to their daughter.

“Mommy do I get to be an uncle now?” Ty asks me.

I look at my son I shake my head. “No baby. She’ll be your friend, kind of like a cousin since you’re not blood related,” I explain to him

“What does that mean?” he asks

“Because Uncle Cole is not my brother, but his my best friend that means we’re not blood related, but we’re close as if we were family,” I say

He nods.

After waiting for an hour, Cole came out holding a baby in his arms.

“Meet Casey Taylor Stone” he says showing me his baby; I pick Tyler up so he could see her as well.

She was beautiful, one thing about Cole and Tarryn the two of them as the most amazing genes. Their future children will be gorgeous as well. I am so happy for the two of them.

“She’s so perfect Cole. Congratulations” I say smiling

“Uncle Cole she looks weird. You sure she’s not an alien?” Tyler asks

I was mortified. Of all the things my son could say that is what he chose to say. Really, Tyler do you need to embarrass your mother like this. At least he did not call her ugly. I would have been so embarrassed. She was the cutest little thing, of course since she was just born her skin looked a little weird but he looked exactly the same when he was born.

Cole laughed it off and called it a day. We went back to our hotel room.

My son was exhausted and when to sleep soon after that. I took the time to look over my studies, I was studying to be a doctor, I wasn’t sure what field I wanted to go into but I knew I wanted to help people. I tried making as much of an impact as I possibly could.

I have always tried to help as much people as I possibly could, my father would always scold me for helping anyone financially.

If it were not for a tax right off, he would ever give anything to a charity.

=========================

The next day at noon we were back at the hospital, Tarryn was being discharged from the hospital today and we were here to pick her and Cole up. I was so happy for my friends they deserved to be happy, after the life they had it was just proof how when you don’t give up you will get everything you’ve prayed for.

I even rented a car so I did not have to call a cab.

I was rushing to their room when I accidentally bumped into somebody in the waiting room.

“Sorry” I apologised kindly without looking up

However, when I looked up at the people I just bumped into, I wished had not been here at this moment. The last people I would ever want to see on this earth.

My parents…

“Maria look at that your good for nothing daughter has returned” My father sneers.

My mother looked at me with a pained expression. However, did not say anything. My father had that effect on people. I always hated how he would belittle me for being a girl. My father looked down on woman, he feels as if they are weak and do not deserve to work. That is why my mother has not worked a day in her life.

My mother always told me that her and my father married straight out of high school.

I did not say anything and I intended to walk away when he held my arm preventing from moving.

“So after running away from your responsibility towards the family for five years you’re finally back? To what to ruin more lives with your pathetic excuses and weak personality?” he asks in a harsh tone.

I did not say anything but just looked down towards the tiles on the floor. I always did this when dad was on his rage sprees. Women were never allowed to look their husband’s eyes. It was a sign of disrespect in my father’s eyes.

“This is why your husband kept his mistress around because you couldn’t keep him happy, look at how you cower all the time. How the hell did you expect me to leave you the company when you can’t even stand up for yourself?” my father asks harshly

I felt tears running down my face but I refused to answer him, I refuse to give him the power over me and to give him the satisfaction of seeing me cry. My father has never hidden the fact that Jason had always preferred Angela to me, and he would ridicule my body, my sense of style and the fact that I was not good at doing my makeup.

“Bad uncle don’t bully my mommy!” Tyler shouts suddenly then I remembered he was here with me.

“Oh… look at the Maria your perfect daughter had a bastard child outside of her marriage. She surely ran away with her lover and had his bastard child” My father says

“Father that’s enough!” I shout at him… Looking him dead in the eyes. Showing the man my strength for the first time in my life. The first in my entire life I had stood up to my father “I will not let you stand there and talk that bull about my son. He is Jason’s child. Moreover, he was born in our marriage and I did not run away from my responsibility towards the family. I went away to protect my son from you and your manipulative ways my son was better off with nothing than knowing you and using him to get ahead in life.…” I go on to say but the next thing I know is my face stung and my body collided with the floor.

I looked at my father in disbelieve he hit me. He actually hit me. My father never hit before. He was always had been against woman in the business world, that’s why I had to work 100 times harder than the rest of the people in my class to prove to my father I was a good choice to take over his clothing stores, boutiques and clothing lines. But at the end of the line I wasn’t good enough.

“You hit me?” I asked him in disbelief

“What did you expect me to do when you had just disrespected your father I raised you better than that Kaylene” father said

He was the only one in the whole world who called me that. I hated that name it was not even on my birth certificate or any official documents. Everyone knows my name is Kay.

“Don’t call me that my name is Kay. Not Kaylene. I will not allow you to call me that.” I said

He was going to slap me again. And I mentally prepared myself for the impact.

“What the hell do you think you’re doing?” I heard someone shout.

I looked down the hall and there he was the man I once loved. What was he doing here in the maternity ward? Was Angela pregnant?

He let Aria take Tyler away and then he came and stood in front of me and helped me up.

“Kay are you alright?” he asks

I look at him and nod weakly.

“You want to explain to me why you are putting your hand on my wife Mr Summers?” he asks my father calmly

My father looked shocked by his sudden appearance, so was I. Why was he here and most importantly why was he defending me?

“Jason…” my father says.

Jason was the only person my father feared and my father had always tried to be in Jason’s favour but Jason hated the entire Summers family so he could never get Jason’s vote of the board on the board of directors.

Jason put his hands in his in his pants pocket. He looked at my father and then me.

“Mrs Conners you going to explain to me why you let this lowlife put his hands on you?” he asks me

I shake my head.

“We aren’t married anymore Jason” I say softly

“Jason there’s nothing wrong with me disciplining my daughter and I will discipline her as I see fit” My father says

“Bullshit!” Jason raises his voice “Not when you’re physically assaulting my wife in front of my son. And also I could have you arrested for assaulting my wife Mr Summers I could also cute your damn hand off just for thinking about hitting her.” Jason explains

“You’re not married to her” My mother says softly

That surprised me, she would never speak in front of my father if there was guests.

“Who told I wasn’t married to your daughter Mrs Summers?” Jason asks

We all look at him in shock. What the hell is he speaking about I sent him the divorce papers, I signed it, so he should have signed it as well.

“What are you talking about Jason?” I was the first to ask him

“Kay when you dump your husband next time make sure he actually signs and files the divorce papers… Because I never signed those papers my dear wife. So you’re still very much my wife,” Jason says

And my jaw hits the floor. What the hell? I thought he would be excited to get rid of me. Does that mean him and Angela are not married yet?

I do not understand this does not make sense. What the hell is going on?
