Leo stared at her, his jaw clenched, fighting a battle of his own.

After what felt like an eternity, he finally spoke, his voice low and filled with unspoken pain.

He wasn't ready for that-maybe he never would be.

"Her home? You dare say this is her home? You kicked her out, Leo, You hurt her more than anyone else ever could. And now, if you try to stop me from taking her away, I won't hesitate to kill you right here."

Leo growled, his voice thick with rage and pain.

"What's the difference between you taking her away and killing me now? Without her, I'm as good as dead."

I couldn't stay silent any longer. My voice broke through the rising storm.

"Let us go." I could barely hold back my own tears, but I needed to say this, needed him to understand. "If you let me leave with the baby now, there's still a chance. There's still a possibility for us in the future. But if you force me to stay, there will be no hope. You'll lose me completely."

For a moment, his face was filled with disbelief.
