Chapter 12
"He says he's too busy to see you."
"That's not a problem. Tell him I'll be at his house tonight to discuss the matter with his wife whether he's there or not. Goodbye."
She relayed the message as I turned and walked toward the door.
"Wait! He didn't realize he had an appointment cancel. He can see you now."
I almost laughed. He didn't know how important to me it was to protect the kids.

He nodded toward a chair and I sat. Neither of us offered a hand.
"My soon to be ex-wife tells me you generously donated the sperm to create Harry. In fact, I have an affidavit from her to that effect with DNA results from Harry and me. All we need is yours to confirm it."
He sputtered. There wasn't much point in denying it so he waited for me to continue.
"I didn't bring an invitation to his birthday party for you and your wife, but I can get you one if you'd like. No?"
He didn't look well.
"What do you want?"
"First, an admission that you are his biological father, which nobody else will see if you agree to and follow the other terms."
He waited for the other terms.
"Second, notwithstanding that, you will never take any legal action to establish that paternity, seek visitation or custody or any say whatsoever in his life."
He smirked.
"I take it that is not a problem."
No response.
"Finally, you will make support payments to me, that will help you explain it away, but you won't deduct them. Support payments are taxable."
