Bonds of the Alpha Billionaire (Maya and Alex)

Chapter 91

-Maya's POV-

I couldn't stay. Not after what my mother said. The thought of being the reason my father lost his wife, the fear of what he might do to me if that happened... It was too much. I grabbed the twins and got us out of there.

My mother's face was etched with sadness as we walked past her, still locked in a tense stand-off with my father. He glared at the children, making by clutch my hand so tightly her knuckles turned white. Even for Daniel Stone, scaring little kids was a new low.

I shoved the laptop aside and walked over to him. "You look beat. Sit."

He hesitated for a moment, then sank onto the bed with a tired sigh. I climbed up behind him, my hands finding the tense muscles in his

shoulders.

He groaned as I applied pressure. The tension slowly started to seep out of him.

"What if..." I started, "What if you broke the merge with my father? You and your wolves could walk away. Let them destroy each other if that's what they want."
