Maximus:
It’s been five long days and still, no word about my kids.
Heartbroken doesn’t even scratch the surface. I feel like I’m falling apart.
I’m currently pacing the living room, lost in thought, haunted by a thousand questions that won’t let me rest.
Will I ever see them again? Will I ever get to hold them, hear them call me Daddy just like they did that day?
God, that memory… it brought the biggest smile to my face.
But now? My mind’s a mess. I can’t think straight. And worst of all, I know this is on me.
All of it.
I messed up. I left Selene when I shouldn’t have. I should’ve been there. For her. For the babies. I should’ve protected them with every ounce of strength I had.
Now I can’t even stand the sight of myself.
Selene replies to my texts, yeah… but it’s not the same.
