2 years later—

"Ty there's something you need to know." Lila spoked low, her stomach growing uneasy . She bit her lip, gesturing Ty to sit. Ty frowned, looking at her weirdly. "Is everything alright mum?" He asked worriedly then, anger flashed across his eyes. "Did Josh did—"

"No! No! Everything is fine. And Josh is, well, trying to get me pregnant... apparently." She laughed at Ty's disgust. "Ugh! Mum!" Shivering, he threw away the thought. Well, tried. The image was going to follow him alright.

"The thing is, I think is time for you to know who's your real father. Don't hate me please, I love you too much." She giggled weakly, squeezing Ty's cheek, setting a kiss on them.

"Mum, I'll never hate you. Never. And what do you mean? Isn't Nath—"

"He is not. Nathaniel is not your father."

Silence. Words couldn't be produced. Ty stared at his mom blankly. After all these years, he'd to stand Nathaniel. Hating him, trying to runway. Why didn't he? Why didn't he just ran away? Of course, he couldn't leave his beloved mother behind, even less with a jackass like Nathaniel. Lila was being very stubborn, still is.

He carried on with the weight. But here today, after two years without him, everything was great. The bomb hit him hard. Not because he loved Nathaniel or anything like it. Because his mom had guard this secret for 17 years. 17 years in which he could have just left. Leaving the drama behind. Leaving all the memories of Nathaniel beating up Lila. Yes, he did. When Ty was 11, he tried to stop the fight and defense his mother yet ended up in the emergency room with broken rips.

"Are you fucking kidding me mom!?" He yelled, standing up abruptly, flipping the glass table on front. Which shattered like the most fragile thing. The vase on top splashed against the wall. Lila flinched, taking her knees to her chest. "I'm sorry." She whimpered.

"After all this damn years of Nathaniel abusing you! You said you stayed with him because of me. Because you didn't want me away from my asshole father!" Ty laughed bitterly, "Who isn't even my bloody dad."

"Who the fuck is it then?!"

"P-Please Ty don't yell anymore." She choked out between her sobs. Seeing her hands shake, her small frame crawled up, made Ty come into place. She was scared of him. But then her breathing became heavy, her body was shaking violently. "Mom!" He yelled but to Lila it was a faint voice. He rushed to her, shaking her shoulders but she wasn't responding. "Mum! Mum! I'm sorry! I'm so bloody sorry! I didn't meant to scare you ...."

Then, Josh entered into the apartment. With bags that had written "Le paon bleu" which was Adrien's mom bookstore. He dropped the paper bags almost immediately, rushing towards the couch in which Lila lied, still shaking and sobbing. "What the fuck happened?!" He yelled. Snatching Lila from Ty.

"She's having a panic attack." Ty blurred out.

Josh gently wrapped his arms around her shaking body, slowly bringing her closer to him. He placed his lips on her neck and left them there. "Don't worry honey, I'm here. Nathaniel is not." He comforted. Seconds later, she stopped.
