Special Chapter: Kayden's POV
"What?!" We all chorused in shock.
"Yes, the child you're carrying is the product of the love that you and Richard share, so I want it," Margallo simply said.
"You must be out of your mind if you think that I'll ever give my child to you," Richard replied.
"Am I? It's really a fair bargain if you ask me. You seem to have forgotten that you stole that opportunity away from me. I was pregnant with your child, and what did you do? You caused me to suffer a miscarriage. I lost my child because of you, and I can never forgive you for that. If you really want me to leave you all in peace, I simply ask that you give my child back to me. You can't do that, right? So you should pay for making me lose my baby by giving me yours. Only then will you realize the pain I've had to endure for so long. You'll finally understand what it means to lose a child after anticipating it for so long. I want your child, and that's it, so do you accept my condition?" Margallo questioned.
"No! I'll never accept such a bizarre condition," Richard replied belligerently.
Elsie remained quiet, the shock probably inundating her. I couldn't believe it myself; just how twisted was Margallo's mind? It had taken quite some time for Elsie to conceive.
They'd been together for over two years without a child, and Elsie had quickly started to wonder if she was infertile. She blamed herself for not taking in and was continuously worried about it, but Richard always talked her out of it, telling her that they would have children whenever goddess Selene was ready to grant them the privilege.
