Liam POV
After Klinton left, I collapsed to the ground, overwhelmed by a wave of despair. My body shook as I sobbed uncontrollably, my cries tearing through the silence around me. Somehow, my father found me.
And without saying a word, he sat beside me, pulling me into his embrace. His hug didn't change anything, but it was what I needed. My world was falling apart—again.
I had tried so hard not to break, but I failed. I hadn't meant to be harsh with Klinton, but the anger I felt toward Melody clouded everything. And now, in the midst of all this chaos, I had an innocent daughter to consider.
The guilt clawed at me. I had already failed as a father by giving up on her and not wanting to see her.
