Chapter 77. The Prey

Tristan's POV

When Cris came home the other day, she was furious and wouldn't talk to me. I wouldn't even talk to her either, because I wanted to be alone. Luckily, Eric was with her and kept her away from me. I found myself sitting at the dinner table, drinking my Scotch again. I didn't want to face anything, not even work or the hacker situation. I just wanted to be by myself. Maggie and I went to do the tests yesterday, and now we have to wait for the results to see if I'm the father. If I'm not, then I lost Elona for good. But it doesn't change my reality of possibly becoming a father again.

I took my glass of Scotch and gulped it down, placing it on the table with a thud. Banging on the front door traveled towards the dining area and it was relentless. Whoever that is, will be getting my fist against their jaw. I stood up from the chair and walked towards the front door.
