He kept silent to my question, instead he averted his gaze from mine and just begun to walk away when I spoke .

"I don't want to hate you Hayden...I've done that for so long ....I'm just really tired..sometimes I feel like I can actually understand you but...other times you just scare me so much...that..I want to run far away...but..."

He paused midway through and spun around to meet my gaze.

"I'll always find you " he completed

"Yes " I whispered blinking at the sharp sting burning at the corners of my eyes.

His gaze flickered with something gentle , I sucked in a sharp breath when he slowly completed the distance between us.

He cupped my chin gently to meet my gaze.

"Then don't hate me anymore, I won't hurt you bunny....enough of that, I said we are going to be a family , I'll make it legal as soon as possible "

The meaning of his words slowly made its way inside my head, I felt the blood drain out of my face as my frantic gaze searched his....praying desperately that I was mistaken..

His gaze was raw and intense which oppose to the gentle manner in which he brushed his lips over across my forehead.

The sharp ring of his cell made him blink as he averted his gaze from mine.

"I'll be back " he murmured quietly and left but not before casting me a last meaningful look.

I stared after him, my heart pounding furiously against my ribcage.

Just now his last sentence, what had he meant by that?

My weak knees faltered and i leaned onto the counter for support..

He couldn't possibly have meant that....

He couldn't.

Chapter FIFTY SIX

HAYDEN

An irritated look crossed my face as I stared at the called ID

"You sure took enough time " he spoke as soon as I answered

"I had business to handle ,you could have picked a better time brother "

"By the way why did you find her back?You've ranted for so long how she isn't good for me so..."

"Because you didn't want to find her anymore ...and it was changing you into a person we all don't recognize "

"And you think she'll be able to help me?That's fucking stupid "

You can always let her go if you're not too keen on having her back "

A pregnant silence followed but I could imagine the mocking expression I knew he had on his face.

"I thought as much.."

A low sound escaped my throat at his words, he shouldn't sound so confident that he did the right thing.She might just end up destroying me instead of fixing me...Not that I believe I can be fixed anyway ..I'm too far damaged for that.

"Since you seem to know about everything then did you also know you have a five year old niece?"
