136–I Broke Her Trust Again
Graham:
Silence filled the air, but it was too late. The damage had been done.
I had been pushed to the edge to speak words I would never have spoken in a clear state of mind.
If Madeline had not reacted this way to my proposal or my request for my child, none of this would have happened.
It was sad, but it was the truth. It was her fault, yet I knew the blame would fall on me because I was the one who had spoken the words.
Even after everything, I still wanted to be with her.
“What did you say?” my father asked through heavy breaths. His reaction said everything. He was struggling to cope with the truth.
Before I could respond or tell him not to focus on it, I felt someone pull Gina out of my arms. It was Madeline.
She took my daughter, and then her hand struck my face hard enough to almost knock me down, but I held my footing. She had finally taken Gina from me.
Tears filled her eyes, and she looked at me with judgment.
“You have done enough,” she told me as a tear rolled down her cheek.
My father did not say another word. He only tried to swallow and absorb what he had heard.
“I am taking my kids home. You two have done enough to their mental health,” she repeated, pointing her finger at me with anger.
I did not fight back. They simply stepped away. Their silence told me everything, and I already knew Madeline would give me a much harder time now.
Once they were gone, my father stepped forward and struck my chest so hard that I grunted and looked at him.
“Seriously? You shared a womb of a woman with other alphas, and yours came out as a daughter?” my father shouted, and I scrunched my nose at him.
He had been inconsiderate the entire time, and now he was angry simply because my child was a girl.
I honestly did not know how to react to him.
“The fact that you keep speaking about my daughter in this tone makes me realize it was a mistake to even want my daughter’s custody. She will not be safe here,” I warned him, letting him know that his obsession with having a grandson had disappointed me.
My father lowered his head, then rubbed his eyes before shaking it.
“Fine, but do you think Gina will be strong here?” he grunted.
I stretched my neck back and clenched my fist.
“She is an alpha’s daughter, Father,” I hissed, reminding him never to underestimate a woman.
“Tell me the name of a woman who has shown true strength,” my father retorted. I looked at him and tilted my
head.

“All the women who give birth to children or lived among selfish men,” I argued, raising my voice. My father began to laugh.
“Do not get emotional. Tell me if any woman has ever fought in a war. Any woman.” he pressed.
“Lady Riva,” I yelled, and he went silent.
“She is a living example of a woman who fought in wars, gave birth to children, and did everything men could not do,” I stated.
He slowly lowered his head and thought about it. Soon, a small smile appeared on his lips, and I already knew he was forming some new idea.
“I mean, our Gina could break Lady Riva’s record,” my father remarked.
The moment he said it, I felt defeated. Was that all my daughter was to him? It was not that he cared more for Bodhi.
He cared for his own beliefs. Anyone or anything that could give him recognition or pride. 1
“Anyway, so that freak carried three different children? How, and who are the other two fathers? Is it Baxter and Ron?” my father questioned, and that was when I realized what I had done.
“Father, stop it,” I warned my father through clenched teeth.
I did not want him to say things like that in front of anyone. I warned him, but he kept shrugging his shoulders and waving his hand at me as if I meant nothing.
“Don’t tell me how I should live my life and what I need to do,” he snapped.
