Chapter 4

Sonny glared back at his former father-in-law. "You wanna repeat that?"

Durant pushed himself from against the wall. "I don't think so. I'm sure you understood me quite well," he gestured toward Jason's hospital room, "by the way did I hear you correctly when you said that Emily took the boys to see Carly? If so I hate that I missed them."

"Where my sons go and who takes them there are none of your business."

"I hate to differ with you on that. My daughter needs someone to look after her interest where their concerned."

"So you went to Roselawn and did that by filling her head with rumors and insinuations, I'll remember that when the father of the year nominations come out."

"Oh and it's healthy for her to continue believing that you will always love her and that you have a future together?"

"No," Sonny shook his head, "Carly knows were not getting back together. I've always been clear with her about that. She's the mother of my kids and whether you like it or not that alone will always connect us. The most important thing is for her to get better so she can be back with them and them with her."

"Yeah so you say. I wonder how she felt about Emily showing up with them?"

Sonny had had enough, he shoved Durant back up against the wall, "For your sake you better hope that Carly took what you said with a grain of salt." Pressing him back as hard as he could to get his point across, "You want to hurt me fine but you leave Emily out of your sick little games. Are we clear?"

"Crystal." Durant smirked, straightening his suit as he was let go.

Sonny watched him leave and looked back to the door that Emily had gone through only moments before. 'Damn him.' He wanted to slam his fist through the wall where the man's head had been only moments before. His gut had told him something was wrong and now he had a good idea what it was. He'd find a way to fix it. He had to, she didn't deserve any of this and he'd be damned if he was going to watch her suffer it.
