Malakai's POV
"I'll be back" I promised but Charles wouldn't let go of me. Jenna had to step in, she crouched behind Charles, gently pulling him away but his hand tightened around my neck even harder
"Charlie hunny..." She pleaded in a whisper while I tried to loosen his grip around my neck
Finally, he let me go and I sighed sadly inwardly. Seeing him do this makes me want to stay or take him with me
"I'll be back" I repeated soothingly, hoping it worked- I guess it did because he sniffed and stared at me with his teary gaze
"When?" He finally asked and I gave him a small smile
"By Sunday" I lied. In reality, I have no idea when I'll be back. I have so many things to take care of in New York. I've even made my schedule tighter by staying more than I had anticipated here in Los An
