CHAPTER 16

LUCAS POV

I don't know how long I sat there but I guess it was a pretty long time. I could see the sun was already up in the distance but it still felt like night time. The news Sophia just gave me felt like a spear had been pierced through my heart and it had only begun to bleed. My thoughts were running wild and I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes.

My daughter was being bullied and I, her father did not know about it? I couldn't sense it? What kind of a father does that make me? How could I fail my daughter like that?.

The more I thought about it, the more painful it was. My heart sunk.

I remember those mornings or late nights she'd call to me and how I dismissed her so callously without even saying a word.

I remember the countless times I told her I was busy, that I was too tired, that I had to work. I remember the countless times I would apologize to her for being so dismissive and uncaring.
