Learning the truth about how she had forced him to keep his distance and stay away from me at all times was difficult to come to terms with.

I had grown up always believing my father never wanted to be a part of my life, that his work was always more important to him than I was.

Then Uhti comes along and tells me otherwise…

Was what he had told me the sincere and honest truth?

Or was it just something he wanted to say to help me come to terms with the death of my father and his final wishes?

Tomorrow, I would get to see the estate my father had left me.

I pressed a hand to my belly and wondered if it was too much to hope Blor’s seed had already taken root, was already splitting and becoming the multicelled organism that would develop into a healthy baby.

I smiled at the idea — smiled because that was all I had ever really wanted.

And now, with my father’s immense and virtually limitless wealth, I could give the child everything it wanted — everything I had wanted growing up.

It would go to the best schools, have the best tutors, be able to pursue any interests it wished.

Nothing would be out of its reach.

But most of all, it would have the undying love of its mother.

I would always be there for it, no matter what.

No matter if the child’s father didn’t want to be a part of its life or not.

I would always be there for it.

And always would be.

With this untold wealth, I would have access to things I had only ever dreamed of before.

I could find myperfectmate, theperfectseed for the perfect baby.

I would never need to depend on a male and could rely on the wealth my father had left me.

My skin crawled at the thought.

Thatwasrelying on a male!

But at least he wouldn’t force himself into my everyday life.

If there was one thing that would force me to keep what he had built, it was the idea I could use it for my child’s development.

In fact, I might even disappear from this mansion and go live in a more… normal home.

I would have the funds to give my child a good, quality upbringing, and remove any chance there might be of spoiling it with this incredible wealth.

I wouldn’t use any of the money for myself, I decided.

That meant I would get a job as a way to support myself.

It was the only way I could live with myself.

I would use the money for my child andnot a single creditfor myself.

I nodded, deciding that was the only way I could accept anything from my father.
