06:03I
08:19and walked out without looking back
08:21Caden couldn't understand what had happened today
08:24he cried silently in my arms
08:26and asked me if Drake didn't want him anymore
08:27and if I was the only person in the world who loved him
08:30I held him tightly
08:31that's not true
08:33many people love my little hero
08:35Grandpa Alex and Grandma Bella miss us very much
08:38they can't wait to see you
08:39do you want to leave with me and go find them
08:42he hesitated
08:43clutching the toy car Drake had given him last year for his birthday
08:47but I don't want to leave daddy
08:49I held back my tears and gently reassured him
08:52daddy and Grandma Patricia don't want us to stay here
08:55do you want to call him Uncle Drake for the rest of your life
08:58he froze for a moment
08:59then slowly put down the toy car
09:01tears welled up in his eyes as he pleaded with me
09:04can I at least spend this birthday with daddy before we leave
09:08I just want one last memory with him
09:10he refused to call him Uncle Drake
09:13I silently wiped away my tears and kissed the top of his head
09:16of course my love
09:18but two days later on his birthday
09:21Drake who had promised to throw him a party
09:23never showed up
09:24I called him and asked angrily
09:26it's Caden's birthday today
09:27you promised you'd be home
09:29where are you
09:30I could handle disappointment
09:32but couldn't bear to see Caden's last bit of hope shatter
09:34Drake didn't say a single word before hanging up
09:37daddy's not coming is he
09:39Caden lowered his head
09:41staring at the cake before him while trying to convince himself
09:44it's okay mommy
09:45uncle Drake is just really busy
09:48you can celebrate with me instead
09:50it was the first time he'd ever called Drake uncle
09:53he seemed to accept that Drake didn't want him anymore
09:56but the way he bit his lip and forced a smile shattered my heart into pieces
09:59furious
10:00I was about to call him again
10:02when I suddenly received a message from him
10:04come back to blaze tooth pack
10:05baby look
10:07daddy remembered your birthday
10:09Caden's eyes lit up with hope as he gasped in excitement
10:12mommy
10:13daddy remembered my birthday
10:15let's go
10:16he must have so many presents for me
10:19after receiving confirmation from Drake
10:20that he had indeed prepared a birthday party
10:22Caden was beyond ecstatic
10:24he grabbed my hand and practically dragged me to the villa in the pack
10:28but as soon as I stepped inside
10:29my heart sank at the sight before me
10:31the room was filled with roses
10:33guests in formal attire mingled around
10:36this didn't feel like a birthday party at all
10:38it felt more like
10:40Caden however
10:41didn't notice
10:42he ran straight toward Drake
10:44who was standing in front of a cake
10:46and threw himself into his arms
10:47daddy
10:48I'm here
10:49are you waiting for me to cut the cake?
10:52Drake looked utterly shocked to see us
10:54why are you here?
10:55he was dressed in his formal suit
10:57and standing next to Jasmine
10:58his reaction confirmed my worst fear
11:01the guests began whispering amongst themselves
11:04isn't today supposed to be Alpha Drake's announcement of his luna?
11:07why is there suddenly a kid here?
11:10that child called him daddy
11:11could he be an illegitimate son?
11:14hearing their words
11:15Drake suddenly pushed Caden away
11:16what did you just call me?
11:18Caden stumbled backward
11:19falling to the floor
11:20he looked up at Drake terrified
11:22unsure of what he had done wrong
11:24this was too much
11:26I rushed forward to pick him up
11:27ready to leave
11:28but Jasmine stepped in front of me
11:31Selina
11:31today is the official announcement of Drake's and my titles
11:34you crashed the event on purpose
11:36didn't you?
11:37the smug smirk on her face
11:39told me everything I needed to know
11:41she was the one who had sent that text
11:43she clung to Drake's arm
11:45and said in a voice dripping with mockery
11:47you
11:47you
11:47you
11:47you
11:47you
