Bring Honor

Melody

I stopped at the door to my father's study and looked back to see Dorian and the kids following right behind me.

I sighed in relief.

The last time I was here, I was reminded of how worthless I am. I was clear on how much hatred my father had for me.

I wonder what this is about.

"Go on," Dorian ushered me in.

With a nod and a forced smile, I opened the door and stepped in.

"Who do we have here?" Father's mocking voice rang in my ear, making me shiver from within.

"You sent for me," I managed to mutter, my hands trembling from fear.

Everyone in the room could probably smell my fear right now, but I didn't care. All I want was to get this over and done with.

Not that I'm terrified of my father, but I'm terrified of having him crush my image before my kids.

I don't want them hating or attacking my father.

"Oh yes, I did," he chuckled and looked behind me. "But I'm more interested in them than I am in you."

I knew he was referring to my kids.
