"Shut up. "
Her pen slipped as stared at me in shock.
"Y-You dare speak to me like this! I-I will have Zyan skin you alive! "
My bloodshot eyes looked at her emotionless.
"Years ago, you gave me an offer-Name my price and leave Zyan forever. Today I am here to take that deal. I want all the northern territories to be named after my child. "
She inhaled sharply. "You greedy orphan-"
"I am not here to negotiate. "I held her gaze without flinching. "I am here to end this farce. Sign the agreement and me or the child will have no ties to Zyan or the Blood Moon Pack. "
"…Fine"she said tightly. "But Zyan must never know you are leaving.”
She searched my face for fear and yet didn’t find any.
"Let's do it this way. " I leaned closer. "Seven days. That’s all you have. After everything is done, I will leave Zyan completely."
Zyan will never know that I will take our daughter and disappear from his life forever.
I ignored my mother-in-law's astonished expression and turned to leave.
The walk to my marital home felt endless.
As soon as I turned the knob, a burst of confetti exploded in my face like a cruel joke.
