The company is in a dire situation, I can't be there every time you need me” he said. At least he cared about my well-being. “I will be fine, you can focus on the company. I want to keep the child” I plead. I watched him pacing, I knew he might not want a child with me….. “I promise, I won't call you until it is important and I won't demand you to get me carvings. You can focus on the company” “Alright” he said, as if it was just a simple decision. I smiled. “I will be meeting some client, don't wait up” he said walking, no goodbye.

I scoffed.“You better not be,” “Thanks,” he said. “You don't need to thank me. I did what I had to do, she is my daughter,” I said with a level tone. He nodded and try to leave. “I want to see her,” I said firmly, and he turned back. “No, I can’t trust you yet,” he said with a sense of guilt. “You don't trust me or you don't want to let me see her?” I asked him. He sighed. “I don't want you near her” “If I want to have taken her away from you Alaric, I won't ask you. I won't do that because I am not a monster,” I replied with my voice laced with an undermined threat, The room went silent. “If you don't have anything to say, please leave” I added.
