I kissed the top of Rose's head before quietly closing the door to my sleeping daughter's room. I always feel more secure and comfortable when she's home with me. Not that I don't trust Romain, he's a great father but, as a mother, you always worry about your child's safety no matter who they're with and where they are.

Colin was still downstairs in his office, finishing up some bits for the show and I couldn't yet bring myself to go downstairs. I didn't want to have the talk upstairs just in case he starts yelling or something because, well, who wants to hear that their wife had sex with their daughter? We don't need him waking up the kids.

I paced around back and forth in my bedroom trying to think of ways to tell him. How would I even start the conversation? "Oh hey babe, I had sex with your daughter a few years ago, no biggie."

I want to puke, that sounds horrible. I grabbed my phone and decided to scroll through Instagram when I see Y/n posted on her story.

Great, she's kissing Madison, now I really want to puke. I locked my phone, pushing it into my pocket before taking a deep breath. I headed for the stairs, it's now or never.

"Hey." I spoke softly as I walked into Colin's office. I rested my head on his back as my arms wrapped around his frame. "Hey, sorry can you give me like five minutes? I want to finish this and then we can talk." I nodded as he kissed my hand, giving it a firm squeeze as I walked into the den. Great, more time for me to internally have a panic attack.

Not long after, Colin came in the den and sat beside me on the couch pulling me into him. He leaned down connecting our lips and I smiled pulling away, but not too fast to concern him.

"The house finally feels whole again, with Rose being back." Colin smiled to himself as he rubbed his hand up and down my leg. "What'd you want to talk about?" Colin asked as he took a sip of his drink before placing it back down on the table.

Fuck. The good thing about Colin is he isn't really a hot head, he likes to sit and process things but, there's no telling what'll come out when I tell him.

"Um, well- I just, I have to tell you something that I should have told you long ago, but before I say that, just keep in mind the kids are sleeping right upstairs and-"

"Scar, are you dumping me or something?" Colin chuckled nervously. "No, no, not at all, we're in this together forever babe I promise. It's just I-" I took a deep breath before quickly rambling out the words.

"I had sex with Y/n a few years ago, right before you and I met but I had no idea she was your daughter at the time." I let out a shaky breath before slowly raising my eyes to meet his blue ones.

He looked pale, like he'd seen a ghost. Is he breathing? "You did what?" he began to laugh. "I don't know if I had too many beers or something but- come on Scar, what'd you say? It sounded like you said you had sex with my daughter." He continued to laugh off.

I didn't know what to do but stare back at him and when he realized I wasn't laughing with him, his smile faltered rather quickly. "You- you had sex with Y/n?!" Colin quickly jumped out of his seat beside me and looked at me horrified. "Colin I didn't know she was your daughter- it was before-"

He paced around the den, his hands entangled with his hair as he seemed to be trying to map things out. "When?!"

"It was five years ago I just never-"

"Five years- Scarlett! How long after did you and I-"

"I don't know? Maybe a few months or so?"

Colin's hands slapped against his thighs as he let out a groan. "I feel like I'm going to regret asking you this but how, how did it happen?"

"You want me to tell you how we had sex?! I don't think you want those details-"

"No, please God no, where- how did you meet her?"

"Oh, we were at an event, she came to the bar and thats all."

He sat down in the chair across from me, his head looked like it was going to explode. "Did you- was this a one time thing? Were there feelings involved- are there feelings involved?"

"No, it happened once." Well multiple times in one night but he doesn't need to know that. "Colin, trust me there is nothing there, it was meaningless sex, we'd both had a few drinks-"

"She wasn't even old enough to drink!"

"I know she had a fake I.d. that's kind of how the conversation started-"

"What?! Scarlett, she was 19! Barely an adult and you had sex with her?! You were what? 28?!"

"She was an adult." I mumbled. "Look none of this matters, I just had to tell you because I couldn't continue being around the both of you without you knowing and I know you're trying to rekindle and fix your relationship with her but, I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner."

"I need an aspirin... wait- are you? You know?"

I raised my eyebrow confused at what he was trying to ask me.

"Are you bisexual or?"

"You know what- I don't want to know. I just- is that all?"

"Yes."

Colin took a deep breath before heading to the stairs. "I need to sleep, or puke." he says before heading upstairs leaving me in the den alone. I heard the shower turn on and pulled my phone out to text Y/n.

To Y/n Huxley ♡:
I told him, I don't know what to really expect at this point, he went upstairs to sleep...

To Y/n Huxley ♡ :
Just glad our little secret is out

I woke up to see Madison with my phone in her hand. "Yo, what are you doing?" I say as I quickly grabbed it from her. "You got a message, just making sure none of your British thotties followed you home."

I rolled my eyes pulling the covers off of my body as I headed to the bathroom. "What little secret is Scarlett talking about?" I poked my head back into the room and took my toothbrush out of my mouth. "What?"

"Scarlett- what secret is out, are you screwing whoever Scarlett is?"

Shit, Scarlett. "Are you insane? Scarlett? My dad's wife."

"Oh." was all Madison said before going quiet. "Stay out of my phone. And you have to get going, I have stuff to do today." I said back to her as I closed the bathroom door quickly going through my messages. Well it will definitely be awkward after the game tomorrow.

I finished my morning routine and came back in my bedroom to Madison who's eyes remained fixated on me. "What's going on with you? You're so disconnected and removed from this relationship, did I do something?"

Not today. "Mads, I just have a lot going on right now."

"You've been acting weird for a little while now, if you're cheating on me at least be decent enough to admit that to me." She said lowly before her eyes went to the floor. "I'm not cheating on you and I wouldn't do that, I love you."

"Then what is it? Why don't you want to be with me?"

"I never said that- Madison, I'm sorry, I just- like I said, I have a lot going on. It's nothing you did. But I have to go, I'm sorry." I say apologetically before kissing her quickly and grabbing my car keys. I hope she doesn't think too much into this. I either need to break up with her as soon as possible or start making things look convincing again.

I continued walking around my labels event for all their artists when I spotted a familiar face. Just who I needed to talk to.

I walked over to Naomi, Y/n's best friend, who was currently snapping pictures of Camila Cabello. "Aww hey Camila! So nice to see you." I interrupted. Camila smiled before eagerly hugging me. I engaged into quick small talk before she was called away.

Naomi rolled her eyes as I turned to her. "Just the girl I was looking for." I smiled fakely as I pulled her over to a more secluded area before she yanked her arm away from me. "Don't touch me, you know I don't like you."

"Mmm thats too bad, I don't like you either but, I just have one question."

"What, Gremlin?" I rolled my eyes before speaking again. "Who's Y/n cheating on me with?"

Naomi belted out a laugh before looking me I my eyes. "You're not serious are you? Damn, I knew you were a psycho, but I didn't know it was this bad." Naomi continued to joke. "This is serious, put your own feelings about me to the side, I'm human, I have a heart and feelings and if your best friend wants to toy with her I'd at least like to know what's going on."

"She's not cheating on you and I'm still genuinely surprised you think there's a heart in there." Naomi continued to joke.

"And how am I supposed to trust you saying that?"

"If you didn't trust me why bother asking? Look, stop being so fucking insecure about your relationship and maybe these thoughts wouldn't be swirling around your little rat head."

"I'm not insecure but something is off, I went through her phone this morning and-"

"You did what? Yeah no, this conversation is over. I have work to do, psycho." Naomi says before grabbing her camera and walking past me and back to the party. Guess I'll have to figure this out on my own, we used to have an amazing relationship and now, she's just distant.
