08

"Pushing someone away and distancing yourself gives you a reason to love harder."

"Salir." [Get out] I snarled at the bitch who was still laying in the bed. I finished fucking her and it seems like she thought she was someone special. 

The room I was in was at one of my bars in the city, I can still hear the loud music from the first and second floor. All the VIP rooms were in the third floor. 

"But baby..." she purred out, sounding like a fucking dead cat. "We're not finished yet."

I turned to look at her and glared, her blonde hair irritating me more than it should. "Maybe you didn't hear me right."

I stepped closer and when I was inches away, I grabbed her jaws by with my hand and squeezed. She turned red right away, her eyes tearing up. Great.

A bitch and a crybaby.

"Get. The. Fuck. Out. P**a." [Bitch]

Her teary eyes stared at mine while she slowly nodded. She couldn't move much because of my hold. After she agreed to go, she immediately stumbled off the bed and ran to the door.

I sighed. If it wasn't such a fucked-up day, I would've taken up her offer. In the past, I would've fucked her and many others 'til sunrise. But no. 

It just wasn't enough.

I couldn't get the blonde little girl out of my head.

Madie.

Never did I think that I would feel like this towards someone. Not only was I entranced by the little minx, I was also jealous that Adon got to her first.

It should've been me.

I walked towards the bar by the corner of the room and poured myself a glass of whiskey. Even after two rounds with that girl, I felt nothing. It wasn't enough.

I wanted-no, I needed something else.

Someone else.

I needed Madie.

She was preoccupying my thoughts, running around in my mind while giggling and hopping about. I can't think of anything else but her. 

It's been a week since I last saw her in the house. And even if they tried to hide it, I knew Adon and the others were sneeking her into the house when I'm not there. They were entertaining her with food and movies while she enjoyed it.

Fuck was it adorable. 

I knew every single thing that's happening in that house. I had CCTV cameras installed in every corner, just so I knew what my men were up to. 

I was so glad I made that decision. I pulled out my phone and checked the footage. It's been so long since I last saw the precious little girl.

Switching the cameras to the kitchen when I didn't see her in the living room, I saw Madie running around the kitchen with Hop in tow. They were running around while their faces were smudged with something white. 

I saw baking equipment in the counter and guessed it was flour. Adon was at the other side of the kitchen and laughing while he was preparing what looked like cookies.

I looked back at Madie and saw how happy she was playing. Her little body bouncing up and about. 

What I would give to be there with her.

She was a precious little girl. It wasn't a normal sight for people to see. Little girls in their little space and just playing, being happy. 

Madie was a genuine little and even though I didn't like it coming from my mouth, I'm glad that she has Adon as her Daddy.

Adon was a good man, a great soldier too. Even though I didn't know that he was into DDLG, I was glad that he was the one Madie picked as her Daddy.

He was one lucky bastard.

I sighed, gulping the last drop of my drink to rid my mind of these thoughts. My chuckles were deaf to my ears because of the alcohol.

I, Dario Espinosa, was jealous of one of my men because he has a little. Fuck my life.

I was already finished with the whiskey and I still can't get her out of my head. I can still her giggling at the back of my head, her smile so bright it shames the sun and stars.

From the window by the wall, I can see the city in the afternoon light. The sun was just about to set. 

I was finished with what I had to do today. No clients, no papers. I was just avoiding getting home and seeing Madie.

If I did see her now, I might do something that will scare her off. I don't want that.

If I see her now, I might snatch her off her feet and put her on my shoulders, run and get away. Somewhere far. Just so I could have her to myself.

But I couldn't do that. One thing I wouldn't do is fuck with someone who was in a relationship, much less marriage. I respected boundaries with people who are committed. Same goes with their consent. 

That's why I want to avoid Madie as much as possible. I had to remind myself not to associate myself with her because she had Adon, her Daddy. I wanted to stay away.

For her sake, and mine.

Looking back at my phone after some hour, I saw Hop urging Madie to get in the car with a paper bag in his hands. I guess she was going home now. Back to their orphanage.

That was a question I wanted to ask. Why hadn't Adon arrange her papers yet? She should've been out of that orphanage by now. Why hadn't he? He should be taking care of her like the princess that she is.

I shook my head, once again, at my thoughts. 'No, D. It's not your business.'

Seeing as Hop was taking her home, I prepared to get home and go straight to rest. I didn't want to do anything. I felt so drained even if I wasn't that busy today. I wanted to go to sleep.

Sleep and dream of her.

Getting in my car, I drove home, my thoughts still consumed by the little girl.

Maybe I needed more alcohol for it to go away.

Reaching home, I didn't bother to greet my men. I just threw my keys at one of them by the garage. I wanted to go straight to the bar at this house and drink away. Maybe then she'll go away.

I walked by the front door, alcohol in mind. Reaching the stairs and going up, I was about to enter the home bar but stopped in my steps.

I was already in the east side of the house, and someone was here. I could hear the pitter-patter of feet by the end of the hallway, soft feet touching the ground.

My hand neared the gun by my waist, ready to grab it and shoot at whoever this fucker was. I slowed my walk and stepped closer to the person who was tiptoeing in the hall.

My men wouldn't dare go near this side of the house. They knew that I don't allow them here. Only picked helpers cleaned the east side, and when they do, they weren't allowed to touch anything. 

I myself cleaned my room and office, and one other room. I don't allow helpers there. Especially not my men.

So, who dared go here and prance around? Whoever this intruder was, he was fucking dead. 

Clutching my gun in my hands as I neared the intruder, I was ready to shoot whoever it was when I heard a voice. I turned the corner and saw the form of the person I thought was an intruder.

I quickly hid the gun, putting it back it my holster. She didn't need to see it.

"Madie." I spoke, and I saw how she jumped in surprise to my voice. I cursed silently, I should've been more quiet. I saw her slowly turning and her head tilted a bit. She was really surprised; her hands shook a bit.

I spoke my next words gently "What are you doing here?"

And then she turned her pretty little head to my direction.

She turned fully, and that's when I really saw her. Her hair was in a messy pigtail, each section on both her shoulders. Her eyes wide with surprise, and her pink lips parted a bit, just so I could see her teeth a bit.

M****a. [Fuck]
