My daughter even tried to be nice and have a conversation with him, but by the time he decided to address her, she lost interest. Charlotte is very aware of herself and her surroundings so it was clear to her that he didn’t want anything to do with her.He got the same energy back because she’s a massive brat like me.

If she’s not wanted, she makes it impossible for people to come back into her life in any capacity…except where Xavi is concerned.

When she becomes an adult, she is going to be a wrecking ball and intentionally destroy everything she chooses.

“Whatever you say, my dear husband.”

Suddenly, he grabs my ass and yanks me against his hard body.

“That’s right, baby, and if you keep reminding me, I’m going to end up giving you another baby sooner than anticipated.”

Another baby?

I hadn’t even thought about having another one. It was just something that never entered my mind, especially not with Kyle. I knew he was temporary and that it would just be a bad idea to have a baby with him.

I definitely don’t want a baby before The Fathers are dealt with.

Jeremy told me he has someone getting as much information about their organization and its members as possible. The plan he has in place is to take out each member one by one instead of attacking all of them at once, but his contact is still trying to get it all together. Once everything is concluded, he said he wants to blow up the compound and let me be the one to press the button. That way we know for sure no child will ever have to go through what I did within those walls.

We aren’t delusional. We know my experience wasn’t unique. Child sex trafficking is one of the darkest, most fucked up secrets of the modern world. The average person tries to pretend it doesn’t exist, but that’s to protect their psyché.

The only way it will ever fully stop is if every non-pedophilic person in the world knows about it and fights against it. I doubt that will ever happen though.

Taking down The Fathers will save hundreds of thousands of children and will stop the cycle for those children. Either their abuse will stop or it won’t ever start.

That’s the plan at least.

You can’t save everyone from everything, but you can always try.

In conclusion, no babies for now. My IUD will be staying firmly where it is.

“Just to clarify, you want me tostopcalling you my husband?” I know he doesn’t really but its fun to fuck with him.

His hand comes down hard on my ass and I grin up at him. “Not in a million fucking years.”

“Good because if you said yes, soon you would be saying the divorce came out of nowhere,” I tease.

“There’s no divorcing this, baby.” Jeremy lifts my chin and tilts my head to the side before running passionate kisses up my neck.

I wouldn’t want to either.

“In that case,” I pant from how hot and bothered he is making me. “You owe me a real wedding instead of just forcing me to sign a piece of paper.”

Clearly it can’t happen until The Fathers are dealt with because Charlotte and I are contained to the compound.

She can’t start at a new school or make friends yet. Anywhere we go, we have to be heavily guarded.

“Yes, I do.” Jeremy stands back up to his full height before pressing a soft kiss to my temple. “I’ll give you the grandest wedding you desire, big or small.”

“You’re so good to me,” I sigh as he smiles at me.

“You deserve someone who will cherish you and I’ll do my best to be a man worthy of you.”

He is worthy of me though. He always has been. It was me who didn’t deserve him, but if I’m the one he wants, I will gladly take everything he wants to give me.

Jeremyand I walk into the living room hand in hand as Charlotte jumps up from the couch. Before she noticed us, she was glued to Xavi’s side talking in circles about her doll and the man looked absolutely miserable.

Poor thing.
