nothing made sense. They lacked logic. the Harolds

When Maya calledtwo days ago, she toldthat Jeffrey contacted her, telling her that he wanted to get in

contact with me. Maya knew better than to give him my number. She knew quite well that | didn't want anything

to do with the Harolds. After taking his number from her, | made my personal assistant call him and give him an

appointment.

| knew why he didn't try to cto my office and opted to call Maya, Simply, the man was scared that | might

humiliate him and that was something his ego could never recover from. He wanted to make sure first that | was

going to treat him with respect. He was stupid though, because there was no guarantee that | might be cordial

with somebody like him. Not when he had failed to showcompassion and love when | needed him the most.

"I wish | could ask to what | owe the pleasure of this visit, but | believe you're smart enough to find out on your

own that | find no pleasure in seeing you." | spoke, resting my back against my chair as | sat behind my desk.

"You're my daughter. | should have the right to see you" | found myself laughing upon hearing what he had just

said. The audacity of that man.

"Daughter? Are you for real?" | tapped my fingers on my desk.

"Yes! I'm your father! Why the hell was he getting angry! He didn't have the right to get angry. | was the one who

was supposed to him. That man had disappointedthroughout every single step | had taken in my life. to

"No, you're not. You're nothing to me! | only agreed to meet you to hear the nonsense you had to say, but | have

no obligation towards you." | wanted him to understand that he was nothing to me.

"Yes.

1. s. you do! Your husband destroyedbecause of your little stunt! You should payback what he made me

loser" he dared to yell at me. | wanted to do nothing but smash his head against the wall.

"First of all, julian is my ex-husband and I didn't ask him to do anything, so you might want to sort out your

problems with him, not me." My voice got a little louder. "As for my little stunt, it was the only thing | could do to

fix the image that your dear step- daughter ruined. Do | need to remind you of what she had done to me!".

"You could have kept it a secret! Because of you, | lost everything," he snapped. His face was getting red.

"You lost everything? Do you mean the company you stole?" | smirked, staring at him. Realization hit him. Did he

think that Julian was going to keepin the dark? "How could you steal the company of your own daughter?" |

spat. "What kind of a man are you?" "So what if | wanted to make myself rich! | used to provide you with

everything you needed!" | didn't understand how brazen-faced that man was,

"Providedwith what | needed! You spent my money on your wife and her daughter! You gave them

everything on a silver platter and madework for everything | wanted even when it was my right in the first

place!"

"It made you stronger. You should thank me!" | wanted to punch him in the face.

"I didn't need to be stronger! | needed to have a father in my life! | needed to feel loved!" It took a lot of effort to

prevent myself from screaming at him. "What did | ever do to you to make you hatethat much!"

"I never wanted a child from your mother. She trappedinto that marriage by getting pregnant with you. |

didn't want a child at that time."

"But it was easy for you to love, Fiona?" | couldn't understand his logic.

"By the t| met Maggie, | was ready to be a father and | couldn't find it in my heart to love you enough when

you were from the woman | only married for money How the hell was it easy for him to tellthat!

"Get the hell out of here. | never want to see your face ever again." | wasn't going to cry in front of him. He was

still there, not moving a muscle. "If you don't get out now, I'm going to get the security to throw you out," "That

made him move.

Once he left my office, | broke down in tears. He only married Mum for her money and couldn't lovebecause

| was simply her daughter and he didn't want to have a child with her. It was easy for him to love

Fiona because she wasn't my mum's daughter. It was easy for him to provide her with everything he had taken

away from me.

I didn't know for how long I kept crying, but | was very detached from the world aroundthat | didn't feel

to myself. Matt was an amazing partner, but | wasn't comfortable enough to make him see the reason behind my

vulnerability.

"| just met my father and it wasn't a pleasant meeting. | mumbled, not wanting to tell him anything else.

Is there anything | can do to make you feel better?" he w

wondered, caressing my hair.

He nodded and helpedup to my feet

When we went to my room, he ran a hot bath forto makerelax. Matthew was fantastic in every possible
