CHAPTER 25

  Layla whimpered, I nod my head in agreement. I needed to know why he hated me so much, why he didn’t want me and why he put me through what he did.

  “Are you ok?”

  Drake asks softly, I nod my head

  “Yes, but I need to see dad”

  He freezes, stepping back, his face was serious now, hard

  “Why would you want that?”

  “Because I need closure”

  I whisper, drying my tears. He shakes his head

  “No it’s not happening”

  He growls, his grip on my back tightening

  “I need to do this or I’ll never be able to drop the past. I need to move on. The only way to do that is to stop hurting and maybe finding out why will help that”

  I whisper, wiping my face and looking at him

  “Please. You can stay with me”

  I finish, he chews his lip lifting my chin. He studies my face sighing

  “Let me think on it ok?”

  I nod, he gives me a sympathetic smile

  “Let’s go to the party, everyone is waiting”
