And they were full of hatred for him.

“I used to think that anyone born into this family was destined for an arranged marriage. I always believed that if there was no love between two people, there could be no happiness. And a child certainly wouldn’t change that. Not to mention that I’m a Flecher.
The men in my family have a reputation for being absolutely despicable. I didn’t want to follow in my father’s footsteps. I didn’t want to father a bastard child with just some mistress,” Elian said.
“I didn’t want a child to live the life I had to.”
Victor leaned forward and picked up his glass of red wine. He sipped it elegantly as he asked, “And now?”
“Now?” A small smile appeared on Elian’s face at the thought of his wife.
“Now I believe in something I didn’t before.”

“and… That is?” Victor raised an eyebrow in question.
“That there is always someone out there who can redeem you,” Elian said with a warm smile.
“My wife and I married with no emotional attachment to each other. We felt nothing for each other. It was just like living with another person. Even after we were married, I didn’t touch her. Not for an entire year. Until one day when I got drunk…”
Elian trailed off and averted his eyes. While he didn’t say it explicitly, it was obvious that the two of them had shared a night together.
“Well, to say the least, she got pregnant. At first, she wanted to have the baby in secret without telling me anything. Obviously, I found out. It gave me something to think about; and trust me, I thought Long and hard about it. There was just something about seeing such a refined, delicate lady throwing up, unable to eat anything, because of my child. She never complained or blamed the child. She just bore it with grace and dignity. I think the resentment I held towards the arranged marriage softened. I decided I wanted to at least try and accept the marriage, and the child.”
Victor’s hand tightened on the wine glass. He narrowed his eyes as his thoughts went wild, but he managed to keep his emotions off his face as he listened to Elian.
“I pushed past those prejudices I had about arranged marriages and started trying when it came to the relationship. I felt that I’d started to change my views, and I realized that I was starting to like the woman I’d married. Now… Now I think this baby might be a blessing. When I went with her to that prenatal checkup this morning and heard the baby’s heartbeat… Something changed in me. Suddenly,
I found myself looking forward to meeting my child.”
Elian’s wife and child were constantly on his mind. He spoke about them at every given opportunity.
While Elian spoke, Victor kept glancing down at the bags at his feet.
Victor and Elian didn’t eat much during their meeting, but they did drink half a bottle of red wine between them.
They said their goodbyes later, and Victor returned to the Maybach waiting outside for him. He got in and stared out the window as the car slowly pulled away from the club to head back to the Sullivan Group.
Victor relaxed in the backseat of the car. He rolled down the window to let in the cool autumn breeze. It was nice and refreshing after being inside.
He was silent for a while, until he suddenly sat forward and said,
“Turn the car around. I want to go to the Sue Garden.”
Ivan was quite surprised by Victor’s request. He looked up at him in the rearview mirror and said, “Did you leave something there, Mr.
Sullivan?”
“No.” Victor’s expression darkened at Ivan’s question.
