I watched as the clock hands moved and every second felt like an eternity.

I can't do anything.

All I did was wait and pray that once Marcus returned, he would be with Amari.

When I heard the door swung open I immediately ran towards it and there I saw Marcus carrying Amari.

"Mommy,"

Tears fell from my eyes when I heard my daughter's voice calling me.

"Mommy," she said as she hugged me tightly.

I caressed her back to calm her down. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry baby,"

I keep apologizing to my daughter.

I failed to protect her from those people. I let them take her away from me.

His arms folded on his chest while looking at me as if I committed a crime or something.Is he mad at me for sending Lucas off?"Where's Amari?" I asked instead."Is he the reason why you didn't reply to my message?" he asked coldly."You texted me?" I have no idea. I left my phone in the room and I didn't get a chance to check it.Is that the reason why he rushed here? Because I didn't reply to his message.He didn't say anything but his piercing blue eyes made my body shiver in fear.He's mad I can see it.I bowed my head and started playing with my fingers. "I'm sorry," I apologized without looking at him.I can't look at him. He looks mad and anger in his eyes brings fear to my system. Angry people tend to be violent...I'll end up getting hurt."Sorry?" he sarcastically asked.I bit my lower lip to stop my tears from falling. I don't want to

A kind of smile that reaches her eyes indicating that she is truly happy."Thank you for not giving up," she uttered.My hand reached for her face and gently caressed her cheeks.I still can't believe it.It feels like a dream seeing her stand in front of me looking at me with her eyes filled with love and happiness."Thank you for coming back," I whispered as my hands gently caressed her cheeks.She leaned her face on my palm and closed her eyes as she found comfort in the warmth of my hand.She looks peaceful to watch.I alway

    Marcus's POVI finished my work early so I headed home.I searched the house to look for the kids until I heard giggles coming from the garden.I followed the laughter and there I saw Amari sitting on a small chair while painting a flower on the canvas while Augustus was on his stroller playing with his toy.My gaze then shifted to Isabelle.She's smiling while putting some colours on the canvas.She's painting the same sunset that she ruined.Her every stroke reminds me of Lillian.I was taken back to that moment when I watched Lillian draw the sunset.The way she put colour on the canvas is the same way Lillian coloured the sky.I watched her every moment intently and as I watched how she mixed different colors I felt my heart ache.She's Lillian.I am sure she's Lillian but why is she lying to us?Why is she hiding in the name of Isabelle?Does she forget about us?Or maybe I am just being drowned in longing once again making myself believe that Lillian is still alive?Maybe I am j

I asked still having a hard time accepting that she's not Lillian.She slowly nods her head. "Yes Sir," she politely responded.I saw her gaze shifted to Amari. Her gaze lingered before she looked at me again."My Mom left for a while to process some documents for my father's operation so she told me to look after your son for a while. I am sorry she's in a hurry so she failed to inform you,"She talks so gently.Her voice sounds exactly like Lillian and while I listened to her I felt pain surge in my system.She reminds me of Lillian and it hurts."I'm sorry if we scared you.

She's the only reason why I chose to survive each day.She needs a father so I have to be strong and act like I am still okay even though my insides are shattered into pieces."Daddy, where's my uniform?" I heard her shouting from her room.I immediately wiped my hands and hurriedly ran towards my daughter.Upon opening her room I saw her searching her cabinet."It's here. I ironed it earlier," I said as I got the uniform hanging on her cabinet."Once you're done here head to the kitchen and eat your breakfast okay?" She smiled at me and nodded her head.I stared at her face for quite some time before I smiled back.I always do that whenever I miss Lillian. I always stare at our daughter's face because I can see a glimpse of her in Amari.Whenever I look at Amari it feels like she's still here.

She looks like her and that made everything feel heavy.I tried to act strong in front of her but when her small arms pulled me into a tight hug the tears that I had been suppressing fell non-stop.I cried on my daughter's shoulder, releasing all the pain and heaviness inside me.I thought after crying the pain and heaviness inside my chest would vanish or somehow lessen but nothing happened.My tears already dried out but the pain didn't subside. It still feels too much.When Amari broke off the hug she cupped my face and smiled at me."Let's go home, Daddy. Let's wait for me Mommy in our house.
