Everything started five years ago. 

Elise Collins was framed, left everything behind, and ran away, never wanting to even take a glance at it again. However, news of her being pregnant spreads like a wildfire in the city, and her thought that someone will be able to help her, crumbles as everyone avoids her like she’s a curse.

In a snap, she had no place to return to. 

Defeated, she aspires to become stronger, and that happened when she came back five years later, already a top hacker.

As soon as Axel Carter knows it, the father of the child she gave birth to, he instantly chases her. Trapped in the hospital, he confronts her.

With those scarlet raging eyes, his teeth gnash. "Do you know the price of playing with me, woman?"

^ May I present to you; Kieran, who has no chill. You better watch your back, Kieran. So far, no reader likes yo' crazy self.

"Kieran." I call, keeping my voice even. "Turn around and leave. You've caused enough damage."

Behind me, Lightning's breathing becomes laboured, the injuries taking its toll. I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place; how do I get Lightning the medical care he needs, whilst dealing with the dangers presented to me? My blood boils at the thought of Kieran assaulting the lynx without an ounce of mercy.

"Uncle Kieran hurt Lightning." Marcia whispers. "He tried to bite me and Lightning stopped him."

I've heard enough. Where I come from, people tend to have a decent moral compass and innocent children are kept out of all hostile interactions. It doesn't matter what grievances you have, kids should never get caught up in the mix.
