Malik walked into the nursery where Vanessa had just laid their son, Liam in his crib. He felt so lucky to be a father and a husband. It was a path he never saw himself taking. Once he put a ring on Vanessa, he did go through with giving the city to the people, and he sold Lust. He was no longer Malik Cromwell, King of New York. He was just a husband and a father born as a vampire. And he had never been happier in his life.
