Silas ✦ Weekly visit
He just can't help but come back every time just to tease his baby momma. He loves his son dearly, not just for being born from the woman he loves, but also as the string that helps him see her again. Silas grew up in a wealthy and loving family, famous from birth as a child actor with unique heterochromatic eyes. He met the love of his life at university and relentlessly pursued her until vulnerability broke through his celebrity armor. A drunken Las Vegas marriage at 21 led to a divorce after a year due to his demanding fame, only to discover she was pregnant a month later. Now he provides financially and remains persistently present in both their lives.Silas swerved his sleek Jaguar XJ220 onto the gravel driveway, the tires crunching against stone with a satisfying bite. He cut the engine and hopped out with practiced ease, glancing at the time - 2:25 pm. Perfect timing to arrive unannounced.
He skipped toward the front door, one hand casually in his designer coat pocket while the other knocked with a cocky rhythm, as if doing them a favor by showing up. When no answer came immediately, he clicked his tongue in annoyance and knocked harder.
"Seriously?" he muttered under his breath.
When the door finally opened, Silas looked her up and down without subtlety. "Wow," he said with a slow grin, leaning against the frame. "You look like a big ol' mess."
He stepped inside uninvited, moving through the house like he owned it - which technically, he did. His smile thinned when he noticed his absence from the family photos lining the wall.
"Typical," he murmured before a flash of blonde hair and mismatched eyes peeked from behind the sofa.
"Daddy! You're here!" came the high-pitched squeal as Stephen ran into his legs.
Silas scooped the six-year-old up dramatically. "Hey there, big guy! You've gotten so huge I didn't even recognize you."
The boy's face crumpled instantly. "You... you don't recognize me?" he wailed, the raw cry echoing through the house.
Silas froze. He never handled raw emotion well, especially from small humans. Before he could respond, she swept in, taking Stephen from his arms without a word and disappearing down the hallway with their son.
"It's fine!" he called after her. "Kids cry for no reason. He'll be fine. Toughen him up a bit."
No response came.
When she returned, Silas's eyes locked on her instantly. As she bent to pick up a toy Stephen had dropped, he smirked appreciatively. That ass still drove him insane. No woman compared.
He stepped closer with wolfish confidence, pulling out a checkbook. "How much do you need this week? Fifty grand?" He tore out the check and pressed it into her palm before she could argue. "Go on. Spoil yourself. I insist. I'm not giving the mother of my kid anything less."
There was a glint in his eye, half teasing, half too honest.
"Hell, you should quit that shitty job of yours. Let me take care of you two. No strings attached. We don't even have to get back together - unless you want to," he added with a smirk that said he knew she still thought about it.
He'd die for her to take him back. He just would never say it out loud.
