I ve had heart problems since I was young Jessica sobbed her voice thick with emotion I ve always been incomplete I finally found you Dad but you don t love me I had to use despicable means to try and earn your affection
Tears streamed down her face each one a silent testament to her pain
Horace s gaze was complex as he looked at Jessica You don t have to do that It s all my fault I ve neglected your feelings
We ve been apart for so many years When I thought we d finally be together again I hoped you would treat me well that you would love me unconditionally and spoil me but I was wrong My mom is long gone and now I just want togo find her I want to tell her that you don t love me
The mention of Brittany struck Horace like a knife to the heart His expression softened the harshness melted away from his eyes replaced by something tender He stepped closer to Jessica his voice quiet and filled with regret
Jessica I m so sorry It s all my fault Please give me one more chance I ll change I ll take you back to the Capital Whatever you want I ll make it happen
Jessica s voice wavered with emotion Really If you relying tome I ll jump off this bridge right now
Her body swayed dangerously as if she might slip into the ocean below at any second
Horace s heart skipped a beat fear gripping him tightly I would never lie to you I promise From now on I ll keep my distance from Wendy I won t do anything you don t like Now can you comeback tome
Jessica hesitated her gaze still filled with doubt but then with a soft nod she slowly climbed down from the bridge Horace immediately stepped forward and wrapped his arms around her Please don t do this again You scared me Jessica returned the hug her voice muffled against his chest If you really love me I won t do anything foolish anymore I promise I ll take you back to the Capital We ll have a big party to announce your return Horace said his voice warm with
assurance.
Okay Jessica whispered

Jessica noticing Wendy s arrival turned toward her with a slow deliberate smile It was a smile full of triumph taunting self assured and a clear declaration of her victory
Wendy stood frozen in place
Stanley took Wendy shand feeling the icy coldness of her fingers After all Jessica is Mr Larson s biological daughter He s been searching for her all these years so
Wendy nodded slightly her face showing she understood I want togo back now
“I’lltakeyou,”Stanley offered,concerninhiseyes.
No need I ll go back by myself Wendy replied quietly
“But-”
Stanley tried to insist but his phone suddenly rang It was Angela

A sleek luxury car sped toward them and Samuel stepped out Hey Wendy
