Jake was clearly annoyed. “Tess, perhaps we should have talked about this before deciding unilaterally to meet with Amir and tell him that he has a son. In his culture, having a male heir is a big deal. You might have been better off not saying anything, let alone showing Morgan to him. It does not surprise me at all that he went ballistic.” “I didn’t feel right withholding the news of Morgan’s birth from him. In any case, he had now experienced the same shock I suffered when he lied to me about Aara. Now he knows what it feels like to want a child you can’t have.” “Congratulations; you have your revenge. Unfortunately, now we have a powerful man that is hell bent on getting his son away from you. With his resources, he can unleash a platoon of expensive lawyers on us. Are you ready for this?” “I am Morgan’s mother; he cannot take him away from me.” “It depends. He can allege that you are not a good mother, that you deceived him, that you kept the fact of his birth secret and so on.
