Maxwell's POV
Option one: Go to Olivia's parents.
I could show up at the Hoptons' house tomorrow. Explain everything to them - how I'd been searching for Olivia for years, how much I loved their daughter. Appeal to them as a father-to-be, ask them to help me convince Olivia to keep the baby.
But even as I considered it, I knew it was a terrible idea.
Her parents had forgiven me for what happened twenty years ago, but that didn't mean they'll embrace me when I tell them the whole story. And showing up on their doorstep to announce I'd gotten their daughter pregnant and then treated her like shit at work? That would only make me look like more of a monster.
And Kennedy... God, Kennedy would probably kill me on sight.
Option two: Use the company.
I could threaten to fire her if she went through with the abortion. Make keeping her job contingent on keeping the baby.
I felt sick the moment the thought crossed my mind.
