The doctors spent the night monitoring the baby, running tests to ensure Marcus’s princess was ready for the journey. Like was the first to leave the hospital, claiming lie was tired and needed rest. But we all knew he was avoiding being around the baby. It was almost comical, considering he still had to travel with her. 

It made me wonder what he would do on the flight or once we returned to Olivia. Was he planning on avoiding her forever, or was this just temporary until she grew and looked less like a rat and more like a human? I wasn’t sure. 

Last night, I took Marcus out for drinks, and somehow, we ended up at my place. In his drunken state, he helped me pack a few things, most of which I hadn’t planned on taking. I had my own intentions. 

Leaving the clothes behind would be my excuse to spend some quality time with my son, to buy him things he actually wanted for the first time as his father. But I let Marcus do what he wanted. The man was about to send his daughter off to who knows where, with no idea when she or his wife would return. I could see the weight of it all pressing down on him. 

I was sure he had no clue what he was going to do after we left. 

I was in the kitchen making breakfast when he stumbled in looking like the walking dead. I handed him the hangover concoction I had whipped up. He grabbed it without hesitation and downed it in one go. 

“I hope this helps with this damn headache. Why the hell did we drink so much last night?” 

I raised an eyebrow. He was the one who kept ordering drinks, even when we got back, he still wanted more. 

“You don’t remember how you ended up like this?” 

He shrugged. 

“It doesn’t matter. You should’ve stopped me.” 

I glanced at him, slightly amused. He was a grown man, and he wanted me to stop him from drowning his sorrows. Why would I do that? It was his last night drinking with me for a long while. I wanted him to enjoy it. 

“Take a shower, you will feel better, and we need to head out soon. Luke called, and the doctors approved the rat’s travel. I’m sure Luke will want to leave as soon as possible. 

Marcus’s face fell, a bittersweet expression taking over. As much as he wanted his daughter to be with her mother, he knew it could be a while before they would be back. I felt for the guy. He wasn’t a bad person, he just made mistakes, just like I had. At least his mistakes were less severe than mine. Olivia might forgive him and take 

him back. 

I hoped she would. 

A knock sounded at the door, and Marcus and I exchanged a brief look. He stood up, and I thought he was going to answer it, but instead, he headed toward the rooms. It seemed he thought it was my house, and I should handle whoever was at the door. 

I went to open it, and there stood Luke, his usual convoy of security cars filling the driveway. I still didn’t understand why he needed so many of them. 

“Where’s that moron?” 

I didn’t answer. Instead, I stepped aside, opening the door wider for him to come in. He followed me into the kitchen.

“Where is he?” 

1 pointed toward the rooms. 

“Don’t make this harder for him 

than it already is. He knows he hurt Olivia, and he’s miserable because of it. Now, his daughter is leaving too. The man has lost enough, Luke. He doesn’t need you making things worse. Let this one slide.” 

Luke clicked his tongue. 

“If I were the kind of man who let things slide, I wouldn’t be where I am today. I didn’t get here by letting things slide.” He took a sip from the juice he had grabbed off the counter, my juice. 

“This is not your business. This is your daughter’s marriage, and in there is her husband. Don’t meddle too much.” 

Luke threw me a glare. 

“Since when are you this sensible? Fine. I will let it slide this time. But you better stop with this nonsense. Hurting my daughter shouldn’t be normal for you. Olivia is good, but I’m not. If you don’t stop, I will make you.” 

1 had no doubt he would. 

Marcus walked in and his face immediately fell when he saw Luke.” 

“Wipe that look off your face. You wanted this. Now man up and accept it.” 

Marcus didn’t say a word. He just walked into the kitchen and sat next to Luke. 

“You’re enjoying this, aren’t you?” Luke chuckled, shaking his head, but there was no humour in his expression. You know this is happening because you hurt my daughter, your wife, right?” 

Marcus sighed deeply. 

“With that said, what makes you think any of this makes me happy as her father?” 

Marcus lowered his head. 

“I suggest you start using your brain. You created this situation, and now you want us to feel sorry for you? You won’t get that from me.” 

Luke stood up.
