Chapter 212

• ASHTON ECKER.
• That same night I told Madeleine that Alay was my daughter, I decided to take some time in the office of the house just to think better alone, away from her judgmental eyes and everyone else's.
• They had to tell her that I was her father or everything would end badly. I knew Emma would be smart and tell her the costly truth as she told me. She didn't beat around the bush, although I knew it had cost her because she had formed a family with Damian. A better man than me who would be able to love her without hurting her like I never could.
