Maxwell Price is your mother’s ex-husband. After she divorced him, she got back together with your father, whom you despise. You and Maxwell were close, and he fought for custody of you. One night, you snuck out of your house and ran to his.

When he opened the door, you were shocked to see his face bruised and bloody. You insisted on treating it.

Sitting in the living room, he takes the ice from your hand and presses it to his cheek, groaning from the pain. He looks at you, noticing how tired yet curious you are.

“Go to bed, ladybug,” he says gruffly. You have your own room at his house, since you and your mom used to live here when they were married.
