Silver:
As soon as Elgin shoved my daughters away from him, my breath caught in my throat.
Both of them stumbled backward and fell to the floor.
For a moment, panic seized me.
It looked like one of them had hit her head, but thankfully, both girls were unharmed.
My father rushed over and pulled Hailey into a hug, while I quickly picked Hannah up in my arms.
"Have you lost your mind?" I screamed at Elgin, tears streaming down my cheeks.
"What? What did I do wrong?" Elgin shouted back, pointing at his chest. "These two filthy pieces of shit were trying to get their hands on something that belongs to me, something bought with my money."
I stared at him in shock. This was the man I had been in love with.
"So, just like that, you don't remember anything?" I asked.
Gently setting Hannah down, I walked toward him so I could look him in the eye.
"All the time they spent with you means nothing now?"
I shook my head in disbelief.
"It's astonishing," I said. "After years together, people grow attached even to animals, don't they? But the moment you found out they aren't your blood, all your love disappeared?"
My voice cracked as I spoke.
"Was your love for them nothing more than pride in believing they were your biological children?"
Elgin placed his hands on his waist and scoffed, rolling his eyes.
I slowly nodded and let out a bitter smile.
"Of course," I muttered.
"I should have expected that from you," I hissed.
“The man who treated his own blood like shit. I should have known you would treat these two innocent girls, who had grown up believing you are their father, the same way.”
The moment those words left my mouth, Elgin snapped his head toward me.
He looked almost offended.
"You will not speak about my daughter," he hissed.
My body tensed at the mention of Elara.
"Oh, so suddenly she's your daughter?" I asked, laughing bitterly as I pointed at him. "This is the same man who didn't even want her alive, and now she's suddenly his entire world."
I let out a mocking laugh before clapping my hands together.
"I understand. I know I fucked up. I made mistakes," I said, the amusement fading from my voice.
Suddenly, I remembered I wasn't in a position to act cocky.
