Chapter 205 – Ultimatum

• My heart sinks as I look Christian in the eyes – because beyond all hope, I had been praying that he hadn’t noticed that Leo is his son. But how could I have been so naïve? Leo looks just like him - dark hair, striking grey-blue eyes. The resemblance is unmistakable. I feel a wave of guilt crashing over me.
• “Admit it, Iris,” Christian continues, stepping closer. “You’ve known all along that he was mine, nor Frank’s. You’ve lied to your son. Did you lie to Frank too?”
• “No,” I whisper, letting my eyes fall shut. “Frank always new – from day one, he knew. But he didn’t care – and neither did I. You can claim him all you want, but Leo – Frankie is his father in everything but genetics. Frankie was there – he held Leo when he was born. I didn’t lie to Leo because it was never a lie. He doesn’t know about you. He never needed to.”
