I had only one problem: if the child was with this lunatic.
"Yes, she had my daughter, and now she doesn't even want to listen to what I want to say," he replied. "I can see you're clearly pissed off at her having found out what she has been up to in the past."
He seemed amused with himself thinking that he had won because of my expression. He had no idea that the anger on my face was aimed at him. If he was so special, then why wasn't he there for her.?
"So where's her daughter now?" I asked.
"She also didn't tell you that?" He frowned.
"Look, sir, if you have her daughter, I'd ask that you leave Olivia out of it. You can go to court or whatever," I replied.
"I don't have her, and neither does Olivia," he pointed out.
It made a little sense as Olivia was living with me’ probably the child was staying with a relative. Or so I thought.
"Then leave the both of them alone," I said.
I couldn't help the feeling that there was something I was missing.
"I can't leave them alone, at least both of them. Not anymore," Jason said.
I turned to look at Olivia for backup; she was silent, but her eyes were already letting out tears.
"She's… she's… my daughter is dead," she said with a broken voice.
"What did you do?!" I growled a Jason.
"What are you getting angry at me for?" Jason asked. "I just found out too."
I could hear the sobs from Olivia getting louder as she hugged my arm tightly. I started to regret staying here when she already asked that we leave. I was really a fool. Crying didn't suit her at all.
"Let's go," I said to her. "I'm sorry."
"Mmm, hmm." She nodded while covering her mouth.
"What about me then? I just want to talk to her," Jason said.
"You've talked enough," I said as I opened the back door and let Olivia get inside.
She didn't sit and just lay across the seats.
"Stay away from her or else," I warned him before getting into the car.
I gave him one last intimidating glare, causing him to step back. I drove my lady home, while she let out all her clogged emotions. I started to think about everything.
Seeing her hug Chloe and call her Sophia while crying was beginning to make sense now.
I didn't even ask her why she did it. I didn't care enough. All I was chasing after was a memory in London. I watched her take care of my daughter, completely unaware of how much pain it cost her. I was really a fool.

As we got home, I didn't want to leave her alone, nor did I want her coming to the office that day. She was with me in my room and asked to lie by my side. As I lay down, she placed her head on my chest and listened to the sound of my heart.
I’m sorry," she apologized.
"Don't apologize," I said.
"But you had to engage with Jason," she said.
