Chapter Three: Family Ties and Unexpected Revelations

Dad and Daddy, their expressions a mixture of concern and protective fury, asked me about Kai Walker. They wanted to know if the father of my baby was aware of my pregnancy, if he was taking responsibility for his actions. I told them the truth—that the bastard who got me pregnant refused to take responsibility, that he saw my pregnancy as an inconvenience, a disruption to his carefree lifestyle. They were both furious, their protectiveness flaring, and immediately called Kai's parents, their voices laced with a righteous anger.

I had no idea that Daddy’s longtime friend was Bennett Walker—who, as it turns out, is Kai’s father. Daddy wasted no time and told him everything, laying out the situation with a calm, unwavering authority. Mr. Walker, a man of considerable influence and power, immediately arranged a meeting for both families, his voice firm and decisive, leaving no room for argument.
