"She's my daughter!" I almost shouted, my face growing red with anger. "I may not have given birth to her, but she's my own flesh and blood!"
He just looked at me, an insufferable smirk across his handsome face, "well, she's my daughter too, and I'm the one who actually had a part in creating her."
"So, what do you suggest?"
A wicked grin spread across his face, "well, she is 'our' daughter, and that means we are her parents, in some complicated way, so.."
"So what?"
"So what do parents normally do? They live together, of course."
I choked on air, "w-what did y-you say?"
He smirked and held up a document, "and I just so happen to have a signed piece of paper from the authorities saying it will be fine if I live here for a year to let my daughter get used to me, so buckle up, Princess, you're in for one hell of a ride."
Oh f*ck no!
