Kieran
I leaned back in my chair, rolled my pen between my fingers, and watched the door push open.
Frederick walked in, followed by his dear wife, Sylvia.
They looked like people running on no sleep. Their eyes deep sunken and lines of fatigue on their faces.
I gestured to the chairs across from my desk. They did not
sit.
“Please.” Sylvia’s voice broke on the word. “Please,
Kieran. Let our daughter go.” She went straight to the point.
It was not a beautiful sight seeing them standing before me and begging, however, the road to achieve what one wants was not all roses.
Some sacrifices had to be made, just like this one.
Sige stole files from my home,” I said.

“She didn’t steal anything.” Frederick’s voice was filled with anger. “You know she didn’t. You fabricated this to trap her.”
“The evidence is with the pack council.” I held his stare. “It is out of my hands.”
They couldn’t ask to see the evidence when they weren’t a member of the council. Unfortunately, the smell that attached itself to them after falling from grace was still putrid.
“She’s pregnant.” Sylvia stepped closer; tears ran down her face. “If you continue this, she will have her baby in a cell. The child will be born behind bars.”
“The baby isn’t mine.” My voice stayed level. “The test confirmed it. So the child’s welfare is not my responsibility.”
Their faces lost all color. A day ago, I kept arguing that the child was mine only to turn around and say this.
“What can we do?” Frederick’s voice dropped; the pride drained from his posture. “What do you want from us?”

I folded my hands on the desk. There it was. The question

I waited for.
“Have Serena agree to come home as my wife.” I kept my voice even. “That is the only condition. She signs the papers, she returns to our home, she raises this baby under my roof as my wife. Nothing else. No court, no prison, no charges, no pack council. One signature and your daughter walks out of that cell today.”
Sylvia’s face crumpled; a sob tore from her throat. Frederick wrapped his arm around her shoulders holding her upright.
“That will never happen.” His voice shook but his eyes were hard. “Our daughter will never agree to that. Not after what you have put her through.”
I leaned back into my chair and shrugged. “Then your daughter stays where she is.”
Frederick stared at me. I stared back. I did not blink. I did
not yield.
“I regret the day I let my daughter marry a monster like you.” Frederick spat out before walking out along with his wife

My stomach dropped.
“You went to Kieran?” My voice climbed. “Why? Why would you do that without telling me? Mom, Dad, you shouldn’t have—”
“We had to try, Serena.” My father’s voice was thin. “You are our daughter. We had to.”
“What did he say?”
“He said the only way is for you to go back as his wife.” My mother pressed her palms flat against the table. “He said the baby is not his. He said he doesn’t care if you have it here, in a cell.”
My jaw locked; the muscles in my face tightened until my skull ached.
I told him the baby was not his; now he threw it back in my parents’ faces as the reason he would let me rot in here.
How did I end up tied to a man this cruel?
“I’m not going back,” I said.

My father looked up. “Serena-”
“I’m not going back to that marriage, Dad.” My voice was steady; the tears pressed behind my eyes but I held them. “I know the last thing you want from me is to have this baby in here, but what other choice did I really have? If I return to him, he would make my life hell.”
My mothers eyes were filled with tears.
How did I deserve them? How did a daughter who put her family through this much pain still deserve parents who looked at her with this much love?
