Chapter 5 - The Blue Eyes
A medium cinematic shot captured the devastatingly beautiful, paralyzing moment.
Wesley completely bypassed the arrogance of his immense wealth. He slowly, deliberately crouched down in the aisle of the first-class cabin, bringing himself perfectly to the little girl's eye level.
"Wesley, what are you doing?!" Sloane hissed, completely disgusted. "Don't touch it!"
Wesley ignored her entirely. He stared deeply into the little girl's face.
He saw the exact shape of his own jawline. He saw his own dark, unmistakable, piercing blue eyes staring innocently back at him. And when the little girl nervously bit her lip, a distinct, deep dimple appeared on her left cheek—the exact same dimple Wesley had.
His highly tactical, brilliant mind desperately did the math in his head.
He had lost Sarah exactly seven years ago.
"Sarah..." Wesley choked out, his voice a breathless, desperate, completely broken whisper. "How old is she?"
Sarah instinctively pulled Lily tighter against her legs, absolutely terrified of the dangerous, powerful man she thought had thrown her away like garbage.
"She is six years old, Mr. Vance," Sarah replied coldly, enforcing a massive, formal distance between them.
