Our daughter. Ours, because fuck Sebastian Hale for turning his back on them; he has no rights where she is concerned anyway, unless he seeks a DNA test, and that will never happen. Not if her mother is on my side. He won’t be able to claim them back, even once she knows the truth, and I don’t think Phoenix will ever be able to forgive his betrayal. Until all this is over, Phoenix belongs to me, forever under my protection—a part of me. No one takes away what belongs to me. Especially not Sebastian Hale.
