Danielle.

As soon as I turned around, I glanced over to Avalon and she already had a smudge of the mixed flavors all over her mouth. Her face was turning red and her eyes were becoming very tiny.

“Mummy, it hurts.” She said as she started crying. I already knew what this meant and all I could think of was how to get her to the hospital fast. I rushed and I pulled her to my side.

“It’s okay baby, mummy is here. Okay?” I said that to calm her down. I looked over to him, he seemed clueless and unaware of what was happening. Confused at best actually and I can’t blame him.

“What’s happening?” He asked cluelessly and I didn’t even have the time to answer. I kept on shushing her and hoping it would relieve her. But it didn’t.

“We need to get her to the clinic.” My mum saw what was happening and she knew. “She is having a reaction to that ice cream.” My mum said as I carried Avalon and headed towards the door. I needed the pain that she was feeling to stop. I didn’t know where Arthur wa

    Danielle POVThe next morningI couldn’t sleep much as I slept for a few hours,I had the same nightmare, I kept dreaming about Avalon having the same allergy reaction with no one but me, everyone didn’t pay attention to us.Her tears and her wails broke me down in ways that I didn’t like at all. I went to her room and I stayed with her until it was the morning.As soon as the sun was rising, I went to the bathroom, I washed my face and I made sure the eye bags weren’t there anymore. I have a product for it so I used it. Even if I was stressed out and sad, I laid out my hands by the sink and stared at the mirror.I sighed and I tried not to cry or even shed one tear, the series of my face smiles didn’t seem to impress me but I still tried my best but it didn’t work out. I didn’t try anymore. Instead I went to take my bath and made sure I was soaked in the bathtub. I felt fresh and new.I walked out and went straight to my room, I made Avalon there. “Good morning mummy.” She greeted me

    Arthur POV“What? Why would I do that?” I said to her as I found her question to be unrelated and totally crazy. “You better not get ahead of yourself and by the way, I hope you are very much aware that not everything is about you.” I replied to her firmly as I turned to her, we made eye contact and she realized the truth.She didn’t say a word and I guess that shut her up. I had other things to deal with than some issues last night. It had ended and there wasn’t a need to bring it up.She didn’t say anything for a long while and I was completely comfortable with that. She needed time to think about her accusations.“What meeting are we going for?” She asked after a while and I paused my scrolling. I turned to her and I answered.“Well, you will find out when you get there. You will know what meeting we are doing for. Okay?” I said as I shook my head, I didn’t sound disturbed as I should instead I just let it all go.I could tell that she was anxious, she wanted to know what the meeti

    Danielle.I sat down in the car and I waited for him to bring up where we were going but he didn’t say a word. I was worried that this might be another meeting or some silly thing, all I have on my mind at this point is my daughter and I can’t even be with her at this stage. I sat there wondering where this trip would lead too. I tried to call my mother but she wasn’t with my phone. I needed to be with Avalon but then I guess I might be late. As soon as we get to the office, if he doesn’t need me, I will be at my daughter’s school. I didn’t see a reason why she would hit someone but then i was curious, I just dealt with her allergy yesterday and now she is fighting. I closed my eyes and I sighed.“Where are we going?” I asked him but then he didn’t reply until a while later.“What’s Avalon school address?” He asked and I didn’t know what to reply- I didn’t know what to tell him or- no I was stunned as to why he asked that question.“We- we don’t have to go. We don’t have to go.” I kep

    ArthurI heard as she muttered the thank you. I only nodded without looking at her, I could see her through the mirror.It was absurd for the principal to think Avalon was at fault, and the nerve of the boys mother.I was glad that she and her daughter were safe, that little scene that I just experienced toiled with me, I wondered if there were times when they had no one to defend them, a male figure.It was a quiet car ride, Avalon seemed to be dozing off. I wasn’t going to take them home immediately, it was almost lunch and i am sure we all needed to eat, Avalon especially. She handled it well and I was proud of her.“We are going to eat.” I said as I parked into the lot. Danielle sat up, she didn’t even realize it either.“Oh now?”She asked as Avalon sat up properly.“Mummy, where are we?” She asked and Danielle turned to me.“We are at- at a restaurant.” She stuttered as she took in her surroundings.Avalon remained on the spot and I moved to her with a small smile on her face.“M

    Danielle POV“Morning,” his voice was slightly polite, i placed his coffee on the desk as he went through his files.“Good morning Mr. King.” i replied with a small smile, even though i expected him to look up he didn’t.“How’s Avalon?” he asked flipping through some papers, i watched him with his brows creased and his lips in a thin line.“She’s doing well,” i replied not sure if he wanted to hear more, i tried my luck. “She also sends her greetings.” He doesn’t reply and i mesh my lips together into a thin line.“Thats good.” This conversation was going nowhere and nothing seemed to get Arthur to be less uptight. “Is she at home?”“Yes, she’s with my mother,” I answered again, he paused this time and finally looked up at me. His eyes were fixated on my face, as intense as a cop on a suspect during interrogation.“What is it? You seem to want to have a heart-to-heart.” he stated leaning back into his chair, he tilted his head to the side and rubbed his chin. My face heat up in embarra

    Danielle povI ended up following Arthur out of the place, we were on the last floor and i frowned, i hastened my steps, i had never been to this part of the building and when he stopped at a door, he pushed it opened and we were at the roof, i had never been here and when i didn't follow Arthur until he reached the helicopter landing pad he turned to me.“Are you afraid of heights?” he asked calmly. “No.” I replied to him.He smiled and he kept on walking to the edge. I was still nervous from earlier on. He suddenly paused and turned to me.“Come over.” He waved as he signaled. I stood there like a rock. I was indeed afraid of heights, he moved too close to the edge of the building, my anxiety rose and it crept into my heart.“Be careful or you will fall over.” I yelled out to him. He really needs to be careful. I gulped as it felt like all my words went through both his ears.My eyes popped out of my head and my anxiety took over, I didn’t realize when my legs acted faster than my br

    ArthurI watched as she left, she had me curious, she was pretty upset and I just wondered why she freaked out like that. I sighed as I raked my hands through my hair. I shook my head.When I got back to the office, I saw her, she had her head buried in work. I looked at her, she saw my gaze but she ignored it, I guess she is still very upset with me.I got back to my office and I was thinking about her reaction and why she did that, I didn’t even know what made her react that way. It seemed like a harmless joke and I am fine.I decided to bury myself in work for the meantime.When I finally raised my head to stretch for a while? I noticed that it was already dark outside. “It’s dark already.” I said as I stood up, I looked at the time; it was past eight already. Just then it hit me that I had an assistant and she might still be there. I stood up and I hoped that it would be empty, her work station, that is, I wouldn’t even be mad if she wasn’t there.Just as I opened my door, I saw h

My inner mind played.With my teeth sunk into my teeth, i shot up from the chair.“I- we- we- should get going.” I muttered brushing the invisible dirt on the back of my skirt. I turned to Arthur who was still inspecting the half-eaten hotdog, he didn’t pay attention to my complaint and only chewed on the food in his hands slowly as if to stir me up.“I need to finish my hot dog.” he muttered after another bite, my mouth dropped open and i stared at the man who a few minutes ago was rejecting to each from a food truck.“Bu- but its getting late-” i muttered in disbelief, i was riding on a thin line not to allow my annoyance get the best of me, so i crossed my hands over my chest instead and hoped he will eat faster but he doesn’t. Instead he be

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

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 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.“

    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.

I could count the number of times Arthur was worried by something and he never lost his composure, but this time, it felt different. He was disturbed, and he didnt seem to have it under control.I had been so carried away by what I was seeing that I didn’t notice him slacking behind and now he had probably seen something that would cause his mood to be foul for the rest of the day.With guilt eating my stomach, I walked towards him with my brows furrowed. He raised his head just before I got to him and just like always he tried to hide it but it was too late.“Hey, is everything okay?”“I should be asking you that question,” I countered and his brows shut up.“What do you mean-““No lies Arthur, I saw your face, you saw something really unpleasant. What did you see?” He stared at me, either stunned to speak or trying to come up with an a

    Arthur POVShe was in my arms when i stirred awake, cuddled right next to me with her lips slightly parted. I had passed out on the couch with her resting on me and it was one of the best sleep I’ve had in weeks. Even though my legs hurt from not having a place to properly rest, it was worth it.My body had given out to the stress from the past couple of days and it was clear that i needed the rest. I checked the time on the wall and realized we still had four more hours until it was dawn, meaning two things. I either go back to sleep or i begin my day.“What are you thinking about?” She was awake. Her eyes were still closed making me wonder how she could tell.“How-”“Your heartbeat, it started racing few seconds ago-” she paid attention to the little things and it marvelled me.“Sorry if i disrupted your sleep.” I apologized as she sat up.“Its fine, are you okay?” She asked while brushing her hair carefully behind her ears.“Yes- its just two a.m. meaning you need to get more sleep

I was going to forgive them and move on just so i can get her back but she said that she didnt deserve to be with me, that she could do so much better, and that i was carried away with everything that had happened in the past and not focused on her.”“Arthur-”“I blame myself for it but it hurt after telling both of them seperately that i had started seeing a therapist already. It hurt because i trusted them so much, all jake did was gloat and after Juliet realized i wasn’t running after her like she imagined, she started running to me. Seeing her face was enough pain on its own, my mind always brought back the images of of the both of them- and the funny thing is that they did it in our room back in college-”“Arthur, I’m so sorry.” I muttered, it was horrible watching your best friend and girlfriend lie to you and betray you- my heart ached for Arthur.

I barely slept and all I did was stare at my door waiting for either my father to come through it and drag me out or my mother to hold me and tell me she was sorry for leaving me alone.” He admitted and I turned to him, he was playing with the strap of the silver watch on his wrist.“I also wanted to see Zachary come in through the doors and tell me that everything I had done was not my fault but it never happened. I blame myself for everything that happened between us- it's safe to say that we both need professional help.” He joked at the end but now that he mentioned it, it wouldn't be a bad idea.“It's not going to be bad.” My hands slipped to his and with a gentle squeeze he turned to me, with a smile. “So, mind telling me abo
