ighty Five Dani POVAlex thiago was nothing i imagined, he wasn’t a man with white hair who was partially bald and had rounded shoulders. He was a man over six foot and had no bald hair, infact his grey hair was neatly styled on his head and the wrinkles on his face was highly controlled. His dark hazel eyes were electrifying that even as he stared at Arthur and I, i felt more to be of his target.“I’ve told you to call me Alex, son.” He replied and shook his hands with a small hug as though they’ve been friends for a long time.“Where is Patricia?” Arthur asked as Alex gaze shifted to me, he took my hand and placed a kiss to the back of them.“She’ll be here any mom-” A woman with Aubrun hair and dark red dress hurridely stepped outside.“Babe, i told you to wait for me.”“Our guest are here already, i didnt have to wait for you before attending to them but i’m sorry. You look beautiful love.” Alex said and pulled his wife who was way shorter than him even in her heels. She looked yo
Arthur POVThe thing i feared most was unfolding right before my eyes, they had taken them. Whoever it was that had sent me that text had moved ahead even with knowing who my family are, who i am. In the past years, my family had been threatened in more than one way and every single time, they’ve regretted targeting my family but now it felt different and it was obvious why, they had taken someone I thought i had lost before now, My daughter. They had taken Ava.“Arthur, what is happening?” She asked as she followed behind me, my hands ran through the screen of my phone hitting numbers that should be around, it was a good sign that she did not know just yet-“I’m not moving one more step until you tell me what is going on.” She halted with both hands by her side as she stared at me, she could sense that something was wrong.“I know you are worried but i can explain on-” Her phone buzzed in her hands, and with a reluctant gaze she stared at her screen and in seconds her eyes widened.“
Dani POV“......she is the mother of your child..” Zachary’s words echoed in my head as i stared at the man i had trusted since the very first day.“What the hell does he mean?” I repeated as if i didnt hear myself the first time.“Dani- i can explain...”“Then do just that!! Explain to me why your brother thinks i’m the mother of your child, and you didnt seem surprised by it and what child!! I sure as hell know that its not Ava- she- she can’t be yours-”“You better believe it Danielle, my brother may be a liar but i am not.” Zachary said mildly. “Dad!!” Robert scolded but it was too late, the damage has been done already.“And you–” zachary turned to Robert. “You were supposed to keep an eye out for her. You had one simple job-”“I guess we both have something in common, don’t you think dad?” Robert muttered bitterly but Zachary remained calm.“Lets leave the two to settle themselves,” “Dad-”“ its about time he told her Robert, he has always been looking for a chance, now seems lik
Arthur POVHe was Alive. He was alive and he had my daughter. My father was alive and he had my daughter with him. Anger seered through me as it struggled to stay afloat with my fear which tagged easily. If he was alive, there was large chance he would hurt Ava to get to me. He had come back for me, to get me to back back to what i did to him.“Arthur!!” Zachary yelled from behind me but i kept on walking as wheels turned in my head. “Wait the hell up!” He grabbed my upper hand and yanked me but the persons face i saw was Danielle.“What?!” I snapped, not caring if they all saw me loose.“Where are you going? You can’t just keep leaving me in the dark. At least tell me what you have planned.” Dani stated with strong words but it wasn’t going to work so i laughed. I laughed not at her but at the entire situation.“Don’t you get it Dani, if my father had Ava and your mother, there is no plan. There is nothing i can think off that’ll work- its always a loosing game with him. He knows me
Danielle PovNever in a million years did I think i would travel alone, nor did i think i was going to get drunk at the bar close to the beach by the hotel i stayed it just happened above my imagination but guess what? Here I was, getting ready to leave my room and head towards the bar. I stared at my figure in the mirror one last time and smoothened my palms against the material of my dress, it was a red dress which stopped at my thighs and let the rest of my legs on display to everyone who watched.I had done my makeup lightly but didn’t go easy on the lips as the red lipstick made my average cupid bow lips stand out, my lashes had been coated with a considerate amount of mascara that made my almond eyes pop,attractive.“You’ve got this-”“Dani- are you still there or do you need more prep talk from me.” My friend Hazel said from the phone. She had called to ask what my plans were for the night and when i told her nothing she insisted i went out to the bar to get some fresh air.Yes
Arthur PovShe tasted like lavender and mint, two things that go so well together, and her body. Her body held me bound even while she was the one tripping for mine, she had no idea what she was doing. A stranger had me in a strong grip and I wasn't complaining, my hands found it's way to her hips and thighs as we both drunkily made way up the elevator- it was private yet the excitement of being seen through the glass bubbled within me.Her lips mixed with mine as she followed my lead and matched up my pace, her soft bold melted into mine and it took all of myself control to hold back on a mild groan.surprisingly ,Her fingers grazed my shoulders and they clawed into me showing how much she wanted this.I was a bit out of place, not just from the plenty drinks I had but from how enchanting she was, like a drug I never wanted to let go off.The doors opened and we stumbled out, her hands now in my hair and mine holding her just against me. It was a good thing we were at my private qua
Danielle POVFour years later“Honey, get away from the window-” I said rushing into the living room, Avalon pressed her face against the glass- She was mimicking the bird who had perched on the railing.“Mummy look, it’s a bird.” she muttered and turned to me, her pig tails bounced on her head as she stared at me with glee in her eyes. Her bright hazel eyes and tiny eyelids reminded me of that of her father who was out there somewhere and i had no idea where he could be or who he was.Avalon had been what i never expected this soon, i was twenty-two at the time i got pregnant, a lot would say that she was a mistake but to me she was far from it and i don’t regret four years ago since i had her. Although everything hasn’t been rosy,things hasn’t gone has planned but with the outcome of it now am thrilled.Even with the news and how it threw me into a chaotic time, Hazel was by my side through it all and when i thought i was burdensome i told her that my mum wanted me to come back home
Am quite thrilled to be staring at everything.” Adam said with a low chuckle, i turned back to my friends ignoring the pair of eyes on me.“Hmm- well it’s not all the time you see things like this.” I joked laughing lightly.We moved to our table and while Summer told me about her day at work, i felt those same eyes following me until we turned and found our space, I was happy with the location, it was away from public eyes especially if anyone was coming in and at the same time it was by the window which overlooked the city.“I bet Hazel will be upset that she can’t be here.” Adam said, now both Adam and Hazel were related. Cousins to be exact and the bunch acted like they were brothers and sisters.“Yeah, she’s pretty upset.” I answered knowing how Hazel whined on the phone for not being around. She had travelled for a project and wasn’t going to be back until next week.“Welcome to Kings, what wine of choice can we interest you with?” The waiter asked, he had soft blonde hair which
