Standing in front of the den I suddenly felt all the courage drain from my body.
I couldn't face him.
After all the emotional turmoil he'd put me through I couldn't deny that I still loved him and he was the father of my children.
Groaning in frustration I turned on my heel and walked away.
I know he hurt Daniel but I knew I wasn't ready to face him just yet. I was too weak emotionally to be throwing down just yet.
Pulling out the guards phone I messaged "any eyes on the twins?" which received back a quick "being escorted by Rick to the outdoor play area"
Outdoor play area? Just how long had he known about the twins to be this prepared for their arrival.
Looking down at the phone I looked back at the map I had been sent earlier to find the den and noticed a court yard area labeled "play area".
Nodding to myself I began to navigate the halls on my way to my beautiful little angels who would be sure to lift my mood.
Reaching the wood framed double doors of the courtyard I couldn't help but peak out through the glass upon hearing laughter.
I always found comfort in hearing their contagious laughter as they played and with a smile gracing my face I opened the door only to feel a hand on my shoulder stopping me in my tracks.
Turning to look at who would dare to ruin my reunion with my children.My smile instantly left my face as I was greeted with a serious looking Vlad.
"Maybe we should talk before you disturb them" he said pulling me in and closing the door softly.
Placing a hand on my back he began to guide me farther and farther away until I could no longer hear the laughter I had so been happy to hear a few moments ago.
Sighing I knew it would come down to this eventually so once we reached the room I had been standing in front of earlier today I didn't hesitate on walking in and taking a seat.
Once I was seated he made his way around his desk and had a seat without speaking a word.
Running his fingers through his hair he said "why didn't you tell me?"
Looking at him I wasn't sure what I wanted to say or what he wanted to hear.
After a few moment of silence he repeated slightly more irritated "why didn't you tell me?"
Without hesitation I responded "why didn't you tell me?"
Clearly this only aggravated him more as he suddenly stood up from his chair slamming his hands on the desk exclaiming "HOW CAN YOU BE THIS FUCKING CHILDISH?!?!"
Keeping my cool I slowly stood up "Look I could stand here and tell you why but in the end what's done is done"
Taking a deep breath in and out he sat back down and reached into his desk throwing down a folder in front of me. You and our children are my business and it's going to stay that way because I've seen some of the places you've lived"
Opening the file I saw pictures of my first apartment along with my current one
Anger growing in his voice "some of the men you've associated with"
Moving the pictures around I saw a picture of my last boyfriend who honestly was an amazing guy until he decided one day he wasn't ready to date a single mom and broke it off.
Putting all the pictures back into the folder I calmly stated "and what exactly does any of this have to do with you?"
Placing the folder back into his desk and taking a stack of papers out he coldly replied "If you aren't going to let me be in my children's lives I have no problem taking this issue to court" he said sliding the papers toward me.
Looking at the papers it was a petition for full custody and his argument was that I wasn't financially stable or secure enough to be considered a fit mother.
Holding these papers in my hands and reading the absolute lies being told I realized money could buy him any judgment he wanted.
I felt my eyes well up with tears but I wasn't sad. I was absolutely fucking furious.
Standing up papers clutched in my hand I calmly said " I would never deny you the right to be in their lives and you should know me better then that"
"Do I?" he said pointedly
Wiping away my tears I couldn't even believe this asshole had the audacity to try and take this to court.
Throwing the papers in his face I turned on my heels and stormed out of his office.
Today wasn't a day for understanding.
