Chapter 12

"My father! Nadia said, shock clearly in her face. This was a name she wasn't expecting

But having him mentioned was lot more of a shock for Nadia's two daughters. Because this statement revealed something they never knew up until that moment.

"Mom, Grandpa Jack is your father right?" Alecia said her voice wavering with emotion at the end of the sentence.

"Alecia. I consider him to be my father. But no. Biologically he isn't" Nadia said her voice sincere.

"You've been hiding this from us, Like you've hidden everything else. So when were you going to mention this. That are Grandpa is not really Grandpa. That Aunt Sydney is not your full sister but only a half. When Mom!" Sophia said almost screaming.

"Calm Down. Look I wasn't sure but I knew it had to be someday. I thought that you need to have a break after finding out about your Grandma. It didn't seem that much of a priority. I haven't really been in contact with him since I fell pregnant with you two. He just didn't approve of it. And…." Nadia sighed deeply and then continued. "Well, their something's with him that I've never been able to get past."

"Like what?" Alecia said moving closer to her sister.

Nadia moved closer to Sydney who grasped her hand. She knew that this was something hard for her to do. To confront her feelings about Sloane.

Nadia squeezed Sydney's hand thankful for her support.

"His History. With Sydney and Mom. His obsession which almost got me killed Girls ,My father was not a good, and by the sounds of it still isn't. And up until five years ago had been in custody for years.

"Why does it seem like our entire family seems to of had a run in with the law at one time. So anyone else who you've failed to mention been in custody?" Sophia asked a hint of sarcasm and curiosity in her voice

"Yes there is. And will talk about them later. But I want to keep focused on one thing at the moment. My Father."

"Is one of the reasons why you didn't tell us because you weren't in contact?" Alecia asked, she was most curious about the grandfather she had never known.

Nadia pulled her hand away for Sydney's and rapped her arms around herself.

"More than likely. He wasn't around so I didn't have to face it straight away. And I had a man who treated me like his own, supported me when I fell pregnant and has always being their for me. That was the main stumbling point for me and my Father. You girls. When I told him and every time after that I saw him he kept trying to persuade me to give you up for adoption. And just before you were born I cut my ties when he contacted some adoption agency and told them I wanted to give you up."

"But why the façade for years? Why let us believe for all that time that he was our Grandpa?" Alecia asked

"Because in my head and heart he is . Just because I don't share any blood with him does not make him anything less than what I want him to be. My Dad and your Grandpa. I may share blood with Arvin Sloane which gives us undeniable link but it takes more than that to be a father. Love and Support being a major part of it. Something that he never gave me expect when he need me for something. But Jack he has no matter what. And in my eyes he is my father."

"Grandpa?" Sophia looked up, questioning

Jack walked towards Nadia and put his arm around and brought her into a tight hug before releasing her and walked towards were the girls were and kneeled down to look into their eyes.

"What you mother has said is true. She may not be mine, but she is still my daughter in my mind and head. She's Sydney sister and Irina's daughter and no matter what happens you two and her will be a part of my life. Girls you are my Granddaughters the same way as Laura is. And I have loved you two since the first time I saw you. We may not share blood. But you girls and your mother are my family as well."

Jack stood back up but on his way up said

"We'll have plenty of time to talk about this later. But we have other things to intended to like getting you Grandma back."

"Dad" Nadia said a serious and worried tone in her voice coming out? "What has my father done?"

"Theirs no clear story at the moment. But from I have managed to piece together He's back in business. And his many objective at the moment is to bring down his old business associates."

"Who else?" Sydney asked

"Julian Sark is one of them. He is currently in MI-6 custody. And this time for a crime I know he didn't commit. He's been clean since his release. Syd and Nadia you know about this. The last thing I did before I retired was to set up a constant surveillance on him and I have been keeping a close eye on him myself. There is no way he committed the crimes that they are saying he did. So the only way he could of ended up there is because he has been se t up the same way as Irina has. This is where the decision part comes in. I want to break him out of custody and I want your support on this. And for you Nadia there is another decision for you. Going against him to help your mother.

"Dad? Breaking Sark out of Custody? Something I never though I would hear from you. Why?"

"Because for many years now. Sark has hated Sloane. And no matter how much you ignore it. He was close to your mother, so much so that you told me he told you that he though of her as a mother. He is more than likely going to help us take Sloane down if to helps your mother. So everyone what is the decision?"

"Yes" The girls said. Not truly understanding the seriousness of the past with Sark.

"Sydney?"

"You knot that Sark isn't my favourite person never will be as well. But if he can help Mom. Go for it."

"Thank you for your support. It means so much." So Nadia what the decision?"

"I'm fine with Sark. The decision about my father is a hard one. But go for it. Because he is done it again."

"So Dad? What's the plan?" Sydney asked.
