"My wish is to ride the Ferris wheel at the Golden Land Amusement Park with you and Father," He murmured.
By that time, the healers had already told me that Bryan didn't have much time left, that this would be his last birthday.
Blinking away my tears, I forced a smile for Bryan. "Alright, love. Get ready. We'll visit the amusement park with your father on your birthday."
Determined to make Bryan's final wish come true, I went to Ashton and begged. I knelt before him, letting go of my pride, not caring how pitiful I looked. "Please, Ashton… do it for Bryan."
When he tried to walk away, I clung to his leg, desperate to keep him from leaving. "This will be the last time I bother you. I promise, after this, you and Tiana can do whatever you want. I'll set you free."
"Are you serious?" He asked, a flicker of satisfaction in his eyes.
"Yes," I whispered, closing my eyes as tears slipped down my cheeks.
"It's a deal, then," He said, turning away, leaving me sobbing on the floor.
But on Bryan's birthday—the day we had planned to go, with Bryan already dressed up and excited—Ashton didn't show up.
