Mommy, Is The President Our Daddy? The Ex-Wife’s Revenge

Asher’s POV

I had gone to the pack to take a break from work. Last night was fun after I had hung out with Zendaya. From the afternoon to the evening, it had been a blast for me and I could not wait to spend more time with her.

She made me feel a certain type of way and I was glad she had agreed to be with me even when I had been a bad person to her in the past.

I could remember the questions I had asked her and she had turned me down in the most subtle way possible.

I started to think of what I would do to make her mine.

She didn’t seem to want money as she was looking like she made a decent amount. She didn’t seem like she wanted anything to do with influence as she moved about like she was a natural.

Whenever I got out the subject of love she shut it down and it made me wonder what she actually wanted. Or maybe I was the one who was chasing the clouds and all she wanted was to just hang out.

It didn’t matter because after spending the amount of time I had spent with her I wanted her all to myself.

I walked into the park and immediately I heard the ice cream truck pull up by the entrance of the pack.

I walked to the truck to see three children running to it to get some ice cream.

They were the same children I had seen at a school with the teachers and parents saying they looked just like me.

I walked up to them with a smile on my face. I was not about to spook them.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“Hello there,” I said as they all turned to look at me with smiles on their faces. They were so cute I could tell that they had parents who were just as lovely as they were. “What flavor do you guys want?”

“My mummy said I shouldn’t talk to strangers,” Layla said defiantly as I chuckled.

“Your mummy is a very brave woman for telling you that. Where is she?”

I looked around to find a woman walking towards me.

I could recognize that shape from anywhere. When she finally approached me and our eyes clashed I immediately smiled as I knew who it was.

“Zen?” I called with a smile. “What are you doing here?”

Her eyes immediately darted to the kids as I suddenly felt them run towards her.

“Mummy!” they all shouted at the same time. “That’s the man we told you about who came to our school.”

I couldn’t control my stunned expression as I watched them bond. This had come as a huge blow and a shock to me.

What was going on? They had called her mum. Was she the mother to the children?

I approached her slowly just as her face became red with anxiety.

“Hi,” she suddenly smiled. “I guess you’ve met my children.”

This was something I had not expected at all.

“Your… children?” I finally found my voice. “How? When? You told me you didn’t have children.”

She looked at the children before ushering them to go and buy the ice cream.

“I’ll meet you all at the bench!” she yelled after they were gone.

“Zen, what is going on?”

“I just told you that they are my children?”

“When you say they do you mean the part where you have three children and you don’t tell me about it?”

“That is very correct.”

“Why would you keep this away from me in the first place?”

“I didn’t want anything to do with you before.”

This response hurt me as I looked back at the children. I could have grown alongside those children and watched them take their first steps as well as say their first words.

I had missed the most important parts of their lives and right now I was just a stranger to them.

This sucked and I was mad that she has kept this a secret from me. We had hung out a lot of times and I was just now hearing about this.

“But they look just like me. I’ve seen the resemblance and I’ve seen that other people see it too. You can’t tell me those children aren’t mine. And you didn’t just have one, you had three.

“If you didn’t want anything to do with me before I’d understand because I wasn’t the best man then. But what about now?”

“Now?” she sighed. “Now I can see how much you’ve changed. I didn’t want to bring it up during our dates because I found it to be an awkward topic to bring up. Now I feel like it’s important that they know who their father is.”

The children returned with ice cream as they gave their mother to eat with them to which she refused.

I stopped them before going on my haunches to be on the same level with them.

“Hey, I have something to tell the three of you,” I said to them. “I am your father.”

I had said that with a hint of excitement and I had been expecting some kind of reaction from them too but I was surprised when they did not respond back to me.

“Did you guys hear me?” I asked again. “I said I am your father. You know, your dad.”

Their dry facial expression told me something was wrong. I stood up and looked at Zendaya who had a polite smile on her face.

“Zen? What is going on with them?”

“Mum, can we go and play now?” Landon asked as she nodded. I watched them run ahead while licking their ice cream.

I had not been in their lives and they had grown to this level without me being in their lives. It was possible they had grown without even caring about me and now they were not sure if they wanted me around or not.
