---- today! I'm begging you-just leave him. I love Gerard. Our kid needs a dad. Please, give him back tous!" She hit the ground hard enough to make a scene. All for show-acting like she'd give up everything for him. She wouldn't even let him pick up the phone. She delayed Nadine's treatment. She helped kill her. They both did. And they deserve to rot for it. I secured Nadine's ashes, then grabbed Peggy's head and slammed it into the floor. Gerard's eyes flared red-he lunged at me. Christopher kicked him down like it was nothing. "You disgrace!" he snapped. "Cheated on your ---- wife, bullied your own kid, and teamed up with this mess of a woman? How the hell did I raise someone like you? You're done at Busch Corp. You'd burn it to the ground anyway!" Still raging, Christopher nailed Gerard between the legs. "You really can't tell trash from gold? Maybe I should get a DNA test-see if the hospital handed me the wrong baby. You want her so bad? Then take your trash and get out. Go live in the streets with her." Gerard curled up, whimpering, hands over his crotch. Too scared to fight. Peggy just sobbed, a pathetic mess on the floor. Christopher didn't stop. Called security and had both of them tossed out like garbage. When it was over, he placed a hand on my shoulder. His eyes landed on what was left of ---- Nadine. "Danielle... I failed you. I failed as a father." I picked up Nadine's ashes and walked out. Slow. Heavy. But sure as hell not looking back.
