“What is it?” I ask, even though it won’t change my mind.
“It’s a girl. And she’s doing really well, Mr. De Luca. Vitals are normal and she weighs about 1.5 pounds.”
God she’s fucking tiny.
Probably about as big as my hand.
“I don’t want it.”
The doctor looks like I just shot her.
“But-”
“I said I don’t fucking want it.” I glare at her. “See if Reign’s parents want the child. I don’t. I don’t want it. I don’t want to see it. Nothing.”
The doctor sighs and she nods her head. “Understandable. I know that the grandparents would be happy to take the baby in their care. But I need to ask you since you are the biological dad.”
I stand from the chair and my hands clench. “Don’t call me that. I’m not the dad and never will be so don’t call me that or next time I see you, I’ll fucking pour gasoline all over your bodybefore lighting you with my match,” I say as my whole-body tenses and that fucking ringing in my ear doesn’t go away.
Everything is too loud.
I need to get out of here.
It’s too small here.
Everything is too much.
I am about to leave the room before the doctor calls my name again and stops me. I don’t turn around, but I don’t leave either.
“In my opinion, I think you’d be the best thing for this baby, and this baby for you.”
My heart-fuck, Reign’s heartbeats uncontrollably hard as I leave out the door.
Fifty-Five
Killian
I slammy car door shut and look up at the place I call home.
I would always be so happy and relaxed whenever I was home but all I currently feel is dread.
Dreadfulness that I have to come back to this hell hole and see my fucking dad.
I’ve been gone for about a week.
Killing off all the doctors that performed surgery on Reign in Romania.
Do I give a fuck that they have families of their own and a reason to live?
Fuck no.
No regrets, at least not yet.
While in Romania, my dad didn’t come into my room once to see me.
He probably knew that I would have killed him on the spot because I wasn’t thinking straight.
After he heard I survived and that Reign sacrificed herself, he basically caught the first flight back to Italy.
