He Who Had Given His Love to Claude

The ballroom was suddenly a blur of activity. Duncan was amazed at how efficient Mike was in diffusing public problems. When the pair left, he quickly addressed his guest and apologized. He then instructed the catering to individual give their guests food to take home. The event for tonight was canceled and will be rescheduled. All of them would be sent an email for further words. 

Duncan could care less about the damn event. He was more worried about the woman who was in his arms. Julie had stopped struggling and lay motionless in his arms. He could feel the deep breaths she was taking. Duncan gently caressed her waist a form of support. 

"Mommy!" Nicole shouted while running to them. He could see the remains of the tears his little girl had shed. His anger at the man who called himself the kid's father went up a notch. He did not deserve these people.
