A Son for A Billionaire

Is he my dad?

EPISODE EIGHT

Theme: Is he my dad?

Ivy could barely control the fury as she headed toward her car at the garage were she had packed it.

How dare he try to embarrass her in the public? How dare he accuse her when he had disappeared the

next morning they had spent the whole night together? She had tried all her best to find him that

morning, and even waited for him to return and even after she had found out she was pregnant. If she

had ever needed more proof of what type of father Ace Clark could make, she had gotten it. He hadn't

cared about her feelings, hadn't cared about anything only himself and all he did was used her.

The next time he come around..Ivy promised that she would hit him with her car if she had to, Clark Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Corporation Vice President or not. There was no way she would let him get close to her son.

“Mooommmm... Slow down!” Leroy grumbled.

Ivy had been locked up in her thought that she didn’t notice her son scrambling along beside her and

her tight hold on his wrist.

Ivy slowed down a bit feeling deeply sorry for her son. “I am sorry sweetie...I..I forgot your legs are not

long as mine but we have to leave right now..okay? Just hang on that is my car over there.” Ivy said.

“Alright mom but why are you so mad? Is it because of that guy?” Leroy asked as they resume walking,

though at a much more sedate rate.

Ace was delayed by a phone call from his mom reminding him not to forget about the party At

Anderson house at night.

“Sweetie, I am not angry...I just realized that there are some certain things I need to do at home before

it gets late.” They lapsed into silence, but Ivy delude herself into thinking that Leroy was going to buy

her answer for long.

They got to the car, Ivy thanked and tipped the man in charge of managing the cars at the garage. Ivy

hit the button on her car key to unlock her car and then Leroy ambushed her.

“Was that man my dad?” Leroy asked in a low tone.

Ivy stared at him with her mouth open as her brain scrambled for an answer, she didn't want to lie to

him because if she did it would end up hurting her son. She had to admit that Ace Clark was his dad

but how could she do that now? He was still a nine years old boy somewhat close to clocking ten so

how would she explain what happened between she and Ace and expect him to understand?

“Mom, can you tell me the truth please?” Leroy requested as he nibbled on his lower lip.

Ivy closed her eyes deciding that the truth was the only option at the moment. “Yes my love that was

the man who fathered you.” She answered.

“Oh so..why did he say you did not call him or try to find him to tell him about me?” Leroy asked.

Ivy moved closer to her son, tilted his chin up and he was looking into her eyes. “Well..you see..I tried

my best to find him but I don't know why he said that. So I suppose because things....between

us...weren't really clear and then we went our separate way even before you were born.” Ivy responded

doing her best to tell the truth and trying to make him understand that she wasn’t at fault.

Leroy eyes fell in disappointment. “You always say that I should do my best to say the truth all the time

but lie to me. You said you just met him a while ago at the studio.” He said.

Ivy breathed out heavily afraid that she had somehow failed her son, she wasn’t practicing what she

had preached to him. “You don't have to think about that but my love all I want you to know is we have

done great without him right?” She asked.

Leroy shook his head slowly not happy with her response. He gave her a small smile before slipping

into the car. Ivy also entered the car quickly when she caught a glimpse of Ace Clark and she drove off.

Ivy Rivera looked at Leroy the expression on his face, more like pain in a smile. She was convinced

that her son missed having a father far more than she had ever thought.

Leroy who was always so full of joy and energy only wears this expression on his face at the moment

when ever he was hurt. Ivy Rivera remembered that over the years her son had asked her series of

questions about his father but she couldn't say much about him but had made up some kind of stories

about his dad. And she had tried her best to tell him good things about his dad.

Ivy had done everything to make up to the fact that he didn't have a father and she had always thought

she had done a pretty job of it. Truth be told, Leroy hasn't even know he was missing a dad until he

went to school and figured out that almost all his classmates had two parents, even if not all of them

lived together.

The knowledge hurt to see her son suffering for her mistake. How was she going to fix things? Ivy

thought deeply. Part of her blamed her own self for being foolish, her parents for neglecting her and

Ace Clark for leaving that day after making love to her.

Ivy tried to find him but when she failed she figured back then that he had only used her. Although she

wasn't aware Ace Clark was the son of a very rich man in Los Angeles when he came to Winslow,

Arizona not until today. And Ivy could tell that finding out about Ace Clark would obviously have some

kind of effect on Leroy. She had been an idiot. Ivy face palmed herself internally.

Sighing as she drives, Ivy was horribly sorry that her son had been caught in the middle of the whole

dirty affair.

Ace Clark waved down a taxi, he entered the taxi and ordered the chauffeur to go after Ivy’s car

because going back to the studio to take his car won't be a good idea. He might miss the chance of

getting to know his soon today.

“Can't you go any faster than this!? We must not miss that red car ahead!” He commanded the

Chauffeur.

“I am so sorry sir, I can't go any faster than this because the cops are nearby to apprehend drivers

speeding on highways.” The chauffeur replied.

The cars on the highway slowed down to follow the traffic light sign.

Ace Clark clenched his fist. “You can't walk away from me Ivy or Bethany.” He said to himself.

The chauffeur pressed his horn slightly for the car in front to move when the light signaled green.

“You have my child..so you can’t get away from me.” He said in a tone that was low but furious.

Ace Clark reaches for his cellphone in his pocket and dialed Arthur’s number which he picked on the

second ring.

“Hello bro, where are you? I just found out that you left without your car.” Arthur said.

“Oh..yes..I think it broke down because I tried starting it but it didn’t work but I already the auto shop to

come fix it.” Ace Clark lied and trying to relax in order not to sound suspicious.

“Oh alright please don’t tell me you called to remind me about the wine you want to give to your father

in law.” Arthur chuckled.

“No I didn’t call for the wine.” Ace said.

“So what?” Arthur asked.

“I told a friend about Ivy just now and so I think she might be needing her help with a birthday shoot for

her son.” Ace lied again.

“Oh..thank you Ace for recommending Ivy to your friend.” Arthur said.

“Alright so can you please share Ivy’s number to me so I can send it to my friend?” Ace asked.

“Okay I will send it right away.” Arthur Young answered.

“Alright, thank you.” Ace Clark said before disconnecting the cal.

He heaved a sigh of relief that Arthur did not question him about who the friend was.
