Casey's face turned red instantly when she felt his intense gaze at her face but she did not look back at him. She did not want to see that smirk on his face.
She didn't want to make him feel triumphed when he was making sure that he trampled her completely.
"Penny!" he called her, "i am your father darling!" he said in such a sweet voice that it mellowed Cassey's heart too.
"Daddy?" she blinked her eyes, she had heard that word before but her mother did not confirm it? The little girl looked at her mother who was silent when Tyrone coughed.
"Tell her!" he demanded when Cassey bit her lips. She took a deep breath as if she was fighting with herself. "Cassey!" the voice undone her. He did not call her by her full name and she did not feel hatred in his voice but a soft whisper, a vulnerability that she had missed.
"Yes, he is your father, honey. He is the man who loves you the most." she felt her words burning her mouth.
