I squeal as he pounces, urgent his lips to mine. “I promise I’ll work onerous to make a very good life for us. Between this job and the subsequent one, we will search for a home—“

Cupping his face in my palms, I lean again to absorb the sight of him. His eyes are so drained, however he’s right here, and all I see throughout his face is the love he has for me.

“We have now on a regular basis on the earth. And, from the sounds of it, good buddies on our journey.”

He pushes towards me, pecking me on the lips once more. “Sounds such as you two actually hit it off.”

“Pania and Delaney are simply really easy to speak to. It’s like we’re previous buddies already.”

“Then this film deal is nice in additional methods than one.”

“I assume so,” I say.

My coronary heart races. 4 months in the past, I by no means would have guessed I’d find yourself heading to a different nation to start out a brand new life. However I do know Casey will likely be blissful and so will I—and that’s price risking every thing for.

Alex is price risking every thing for.

Lana

My abdomen churns.

I’m again at work after one other week at residence. The final of my spots are fading, and it looks like I haven’t been at my desk for an eternity.

It received’t be my desk for much longer.

I thought of on the lookout for one other job loads of instances. However between the safety of working for Gareth, who would by no means have the heart to do away with me, and the infinite grind of elevating Casey on my own, I by no means bothered.

And now I’m doing the one factor I by no means thought I’d do.

Resigning.

I haven’t instructed Anna but—I like her lots, however I have to get this over and finished with first.

After ready for a quiet second, I stroll into his workplace, closing the door behind me. He appears up as I sit down reverse him.

“Is every thing okay?” he asks.

“I want to offer this to you.”

Passing over my resignation, I watch him as he unfolds the piece of paper and reads it.

“You’re … you’re leaving?” He drops the paper on his desk.

I nod. “We’re transferring to Los Angeles.”

He sits again in his chair and blinks quickly. “You’re taking my daughter overseas?”

Effectively. Knock me down with a feather. “Your daughter? Now unexpectedly she’s your daughter?”

He leans ahead. “Lana, hold your voice down.” Stabbing his desk together with his index finger, he continues. “And sure, my daughter. I ought to have some say on this.”

Narrowing my gaze, I take a deep breath. “You gave her up. You made that selection. And now, you don’t get to have a say in what we do. She’s acquired a person in her life who desires to be a father to her. Now you have got my resignation, and I’ve given you the required discover.”

I stand, spin on my heel, and storm out of his workplace, slamming the door behind me. With that one query, he’s pissed me off. He’s by no means given a crap about Casey earlier than.

Gripping the again of my chair, I squeeze till my knuckles flip white.
