His Knees, His Pleas, But Our Son's in Peace

Chapter 75

As my memories of the past faded, I returned to the present, standing face-to-face with Stefan, my father. The years apart hadn't softened him, and seeing him now, I realized that the distance between us was not just physical but emotional, too. His expression was cold, as it had always been.

There was no warmth, no concern-just that same indifference that had defined our entire relationship. I felt a familiar pang of disappointment, the kind that had haunted me since childhood, but this time, I wasn't that little girl looking for his approval. I was stronger now, but facing him still sent a chill down my spine.

Finally, he turned to me, his voice as icy as his gaze. His presence seemed to suck the warmth out of the room, leaving me feeling more isolated than ever.

"I paid Sienna's bail," he said flatly. "Nathan has nothing to do with any of this."

Hearing those words stung, but I wasn't surprised. Stefan had always been biased toward Sienna, and this time was no different. I felt a sinking feeling in my chest, a mix of anger and desperation, as I realized once again that this man was my father. The same man who had always put Sienna first, no matter the cost.

"Why?" I demanded, my voice trembling with frustration. "She's dangerous! Sienna is trying to kill her own nephew-my son, Cyrus."

Stefan didn't flinch. His expression remained cold, even as I raised my voice. "But hasn't that happened yet?" he asked dismissively, as if the threat to my child was insignificant until something actually happened.

I could barely believe what I was hearing. My own father was so blinded by his loyalty to Sienna that he couldn't see the danger she posed. He didn't care about Cyrus, and he didn't care about me. I was nothing to him compared to her.

Nathan stepped forward. "Stefan, this isn't
