Dinner arrived not long afterward. Shannon quickly discovered she and her mother apparently did share the same taste. By the time dessert arrived, the conversation had become lighter.She found herself asking questions she'd never imagined she'd have the chance to ask. "Did my mum snore?"Kennedy almost choked on his coffee. "I'm serious."He wiped his mouth while laughing. "No. She talked in her sleep."Shannon's eyes sparkled. "What did she say?"He smiled fondly. "Mostly nonsense.""Like?""'Kennedy, don't burn the pancakes.'"Shannon blinked. "You burn pancakes?""I used to.""You still do?""I've improved."She folded her arms. "I don't believe you."Kennedy laughed. "You'll have to judge for yourself someday."The words slipped out naturally. Neither of them noticed at first then they looked at each other. Someday, there would be a someday.Shannon smiled softly. "I'd like that."Kennedy's heart warmed. So this was what being a father felt like.After they finished eating, Shan

Meanwhile across the city music pounded through one of the most exclusive nightclubs in the country. The VIP section had already been cleared for one particular guest. Champagne flowed freely, designer handbags lay carelessly across the couches, laughter echoed above the music and at the center of it all sat Evelyn.She leaned comfortably against the plush leather sofa with a champagne flute resting lazily between her fingers unlike the broken man crying outside a hotel only an hour earlier.She had never looked happier.One of her closest friends raised her own glass. "So..." She grinned mischievously. "How does it feel?"The other ladies immediately looked toward Evelyn.Another one laughed. "Come on, you've been planning this for years. Don't tell us you're suddenly feeling guilty."Evelyn stared into her champagne for a brief second then she laughed. The sound almost disappeared beneath the music. "Guilty?" She looked around at all of them before bursting into another fit of laugh

Mrs. Whitmore's heart sank then she stepped directly in front of the car. "If that's what it takes..." Her chin lifted. "...then you'll have to drive through me."Silence.The valet looked up, the security guards exchanged confused glances but Evelyn slowly opened the driver's door again.Mrs. Whitmore frowned. "...What are you doing?"Evelyn didn't answer. She calmly climbed back into the driver's seat, closed the door and started the engine.The low growl of the powerful engine echoed through the driveway.Mrs. Whitmore's confidence faltered. "...Evelyn?"The headlights illuminated her completely. Inside the car Evelyn's drunken eyes had lost every trace of warmth only something frighteningly empty remained. She tightened both hands around the steering wheel then smiled, a wicked almost beautiful smile then she whispered to herself. "If the son isn't enough maybe the mother will finally hurt."Her foot slowly pressed against the accelerator. The engine roared louder, the security gu

Shannon remained standing at the doorway watching him disappear toward the elevator. She frowned slightly. Something wasn't right. The Sean she knew would've fought, he would've explained, he would've insisted on talking. The man walking away looked like someone who had already accepted defeat.The elevator doors slid open and Sean stepped inside. A few seconds later the doors quietly closed. Only then did Kennedy speak. "...That's the Sean Vale?" His brows furrowed ever so slightly.Shannon looked at her father.Kennedy's eyes remained fixed on the now empty hallway. "...This?" His voice carried genuine confusion. "This is the man who's been fighting me all these years?" He slowly shook his head. "I expected..." He searched for the right word. "...something else. A man who'd storm in, a man who'd argue, a man who'd threaten." His gaze lingered where Sean had disappeared. "But that..." He frowned. "...looked like a defeated man."Shannon lowered her eyes. She didn't answer because she

Shannon's own eyes instantly became wet.Kennedy extended his hand toward her. "Come here."Without hesitation she stepped closer.Kennedy gently held her hand before looking back at the grave. "I want you to meet someone." His voice had become noticeably steadier. "This..." He squeezed Shannon's hand. "...is Shannon. Our daughter."The words echoed softly between the trees.Kennedy smiled through tears that now flowed freely. "...She didn't die." His shoulders trembled. "They lied to us. They told me she was gone, they told me I'd lost both of you." His breathing hitched. "But they were wrong."He looked proudly at Shannon. "Our little girl survived. She grew up, she's beautiful, she's kind." He laughed softly. "And she laughs exactly like you."Shannon could no longer stop the tears rolling down her cheeks.Kennedy continued speaking to the grave as though his wife were standing right beside him. "She became stronger than either of us. She survived things no child should ever have t
