CHAPTER 2 — The Truth Logan Tried to Escape
That evening, Robert sat alone in his office staring at the chart.
Memories flooded back.
The arguments.
The distance.
The day Logan walked away from the family after years of conflict.
Robert had always believed his son was selfish.
But he never imagined this.
Abandoning a pregnant woman.
Abandoning a child.
The next morning, Robert visited Joanna.
He told her the truth.
At first, she thought she misunderstood.
“You're Logan's father?”
Robert nodded.
Joanna looked away.
Pain flashed across her face.
“I don't need anything from him,” she whispered.
“I'm not here for him,” Robert replied.
“I'm here because my grandson deserves better.”
For the first time in months, Joanna broke down crying.
Not because she wanted Logan back.
But because someone had finally chosen to stay.
Meanwhile, Robert contacted Logan.
The response came hours later.
A single text.
I don't want involvement.
Robert stared at the message.

Then deleted it.
Because for the first time in his life, he was ashamed of his son.
