Dario made sure Madie had everything she needed in her backpack. Extra water, her towel, an extra phone for him to track her just in case, her snacks, and of course Ellie. Her stuffy was ties to the strap of the bag, a long ribbon, so it won't drop whenever Madie let's go of her.
It was nine in the morning, and the car was waiting for them by the entrance of the estate.
They were going to a trip to an ocean and wildlife park just hours away. They had special performances by ocean animals and had many of them kept and care of for people to see. He knew Madie would love the experience, and absolutely adore the animals she'll see.
It was, after all, her first time. And he made sure that she'll experience everything, and it will be perfect.
"I'm ready, Daddy!" Madie excitedly told him as she walked out of their bathroom, with her purple sweater and comfo

"A spoiled brat should be punished for not listening to her Daddy. Now bend, baby girl.""I said strip, girl."Madeline's bottom lip continued to stick out as she pouted. She had her arms crossed in her chest as she frowned at her daddy.She had no intention of listening to him."Don't wait for me to come and force you to strip, Madeline." he warned, voice still a tad angry. He was finished cleaning the section of the counter where she'll be placed. "Do it yourself."Her pout deepened as tears pooled in her eyes. Why was her Daddy so mad? She was just telling him that she didn't want to come home.Everything here was so pretty and magical and she didn't want to leave. When else would she get the chance to have a sleepover with dolphins and fishies? She wanted to have a slumber party under the big aquariums and just stare at the sea creatures as they swam and danced in the water.She wanted to st

"Just remember, that whatever happens, I'll always be with you baby girl. Always."Dario woke up, feeling a weight on top of his chest as his eyes opened. The room was dark due to the curtains, legs tossed and tangled through the sheets. His bare upper body didn't mind the cold, especially because the person on top of him provided endless supply of warmth.The cause of the weight on top of him was his sweet girl.Madeline was adorably sleeping, face snuggled comfortably on his neck as her body rested on top of his. Soft snores came out of her mouth, making him chuckle, and the light dribble of her drool was cold on his neck.She was adorable.He stayed like that for a few minutes, seeing that it was past lunch and that they missed both breakfast and lunch. He didn't bother getting up or moving.Might as well enjoy the comfort of Madie.It was when he heard a knock on their door that his sweet sm

"I'll always be here, baby. To protect you, to calm you, to make you smile and laugh. Just like how you do for me."He sat still, hands rubbing her back slowly and continuously as she rested her body on top of his. Silence surrounded both of them.Dario hated feeling this helpless when it came to her.Not being able to do anything to make her talk to him, to cry on his chest or just... be his sunshine again.But he waited patiently. He wanted Madie to be prepared when she talked to him, be open and comfortable, not forced. He'll let her talk to him when she's ready.He let her run in her own time, but he still couldn't help but be worried.Now, Madie stayed quiet as her fingers held her colorful markers tightly, a small quiver in her movement made Dario realize that something still frightened her.Her hands continued to color the inks in his body, the dark lines being colored pretty as Madeline'

"Everything about you is perfect, baby. In all you say, in all you do, in all you are. You're perfect in each and every way."Dario watched Madie swim around the pool. The water was level just a bit above her chin and the inflatable doughnut keeping her afloat, her arms moving about.The colorful doughnut matched with what she wore, a mix of pink and white swimsuit.It has only been a little over an hour since they've arrived, and the first thing he did was to settle their things in their suite, as well as making sure that Madie was comfortable with where they were. He also made sure to bring some of her stuff.Markers, papers, the clothes she liked, some small toys, and most especially, Ellie.She was quite the whole ride, eyes closed but Dario knew she wasn't asleep. He would have known.After seeing their room, they changed clothes and Dario made sure that she had her extra clothes, sunglasses

"No amount of time spent with you is ever enough, sweetheart.""Daddy, look!" Madie yelled excitedly while running through the sand. She was in her swimming suit, another pair that they had brought.Dario smiled at her, as well as nodded to agree that he was seeing the seashells that she was pointing at.Madeline woke up from her nap, already in her little space.The shift from her big space to her little space wasn't so tremendous, and it seemed that she was aware of where she was and who she was with, even why they were here.The change from her spaces wasn't as drastic as he thought it would be when she comes back from big space, and it made him grateful. Sudden changes are exhausting for littles, as well as the changes and people in their environment.With wide eyes and a smile, he knew that Madie was back in her little space full of rainbows. It made sense then why she seemed so exhausted af

"You make me weak and turn me into a fragile being. You make me weak on my knees. But baby, I can also make you kneel.""Kneel."Dario first had to make sure that Madeline was comfortable in all ways.He stood up, holding her in his arms as he walked towards his table by the balcony door. He settled on the leather chair, which fit his whole body, letting Madeline sit by his knees as she gazed at him.He made sure to grab a pillow on his way and drop it on the floor, in between his feet so her knees won't get hurt.Lastly, he gathered her blonde hair in his hands and tied it into a loose, neat braid and settled it in her back. Madie made sure to thank him with a smile.He always had one on his wrist or pocket, just for Madie.And then he ordered her to kneel.At his command, Madie shyly moved and went on her knees. She had her hands together by her lap, clasped and slightly trembling

"Who do you fear? The Devil? Or the man sitting in the chair in front of you?Pick wisely."Dario stared at the man in front of him boredly.He was shaking in fear, and it almost looked like he was shitting his pants by the way his whole body sweated.The old man in front of him, although unfamiliar and almost like a stranger, elicited anger in him. Such bubbling anger in the deepness of his chest, like a spark of a starting fire.More known as 'Rio Manuel', this old man was one of the people who was in the photograph together with his baby Madeline.He was the one who was holding her hand in that photograph. Along with two other men, and the old nun on the other side.There was nothing to gain from the other two men, it was obvious that they were guards for this man, Rio Manuel.But Dario didn't want any loopholes, and that two guys were long dead. Killed by Adon just the other day.

"There are so many reasons I can declare so that you know that you are worthy of love. Your cuteness, your innocence. Your smile. You.""Eliana."The woman's head turned at the sound of her name being called.Dario sighed in frustration. It was her habit to just pop up and go whenever and wherever she wanted whether invited or not. It was one of her aspects that he disliked.He loved her, nonetheless."What are you doing here?" he asked, walking towards Eliana with Madie still by his side. With the recognition in his face, Madie was now gazing curiously at the two of them."No reason, really." she spoke, a small smirk on her face.'Pretty...' Madie thought in her head. It was true. She wasn't wearing heavy make-up, and she was only wearing jacket and pants, but she still looked gorgeous. Even her hair in a simple and messy bun looked like it was made especially for her."Just wante

"Baby, you're the reason I live and the reason that I die. You're the reason that I smile yet break down and cry. You're the reason that I keep going and the reason why I fall. Because without you in my life, I'm nothing at all."The screams and squeals of excitement flooded in Madeline's ears as she looked around. Everyone had someone with them.Some were having their lunch in some food stalls, and some were lining up in line for the rides.The screams were from the people who were riding the roller coaster, some on towers and some on fast-spinning carousels. She could also smell the fragrance of delicious food in the air, as well as the sweet smell of desserts that were given out to the kids, and adults too.On her right, she could see the swans on the water with people aboard. They were taking pictures with smiles on their faces, together with their kids and other family.Madie couldn't help bu

"If giving my everything is what it takes, I won't hesitate. Not even for a second. That's what it means to have something you'd give your life to save."Ivan's thoughts stopped, as if the words that came from his Father's mouth was far-fetched, almost unimaginable.He couldn't help but laugh. Really, when it comes to being an asshole, he couldn't deny that he got that from his father.Looking down on the child that was in front of him, he couldn't help but wonder how undeniably pretty she was. Fair skin, blonde hair, green eyes."What's her name?" he asked, eyes staring deeply at the trembling child standing in front of him. He meant the question for his father who was smoking a cigar just by his leather couch, but the little thing answered him instead."M-Madeline, S-Sir." the eight-year-old answered, avoiding his eyes as much as she could. She answered her ques

"I'd rather drain every vein in my body than to watch you cry painful tears. I'd spare you tears for the rest of your life if I could. I'd take your pain and trauma away. I'd make you forget so you can be happy once more.""What's wrong?" Madie asked, head tilted to the side as she stared at Neil. Why was he standing by the door like that?What if someone was coming in and he was blocking the way?She was about to ask him again when she saw the foot by the door. Huh?Her confusion worsened as she stared, talking a few steps forward to see if someone left a mannequin by the women's comfort room.But of course not, this wasn't a department store. This was an airport, why would a mannequin be here?It felt like her heart stopped when she reached the middle part of the body that was lying down on the floor.Blood.

"If anything ever happened to you... I wouldn't know what to do. I'd be lost. My heart would be gone together with you."Dario stood staring as he watched the people in black come and go. It was a big ceremony, proper for a man who handled a big organization.It was his father's funeral."My condolences." one old man told him, shaking his hand as Dario stood by the door to welcome the people. More followed him, some strangers and some familiar.To be honest, he wanted to be anywhere than here.He sighed, eyes looking everywhere to find someone who can replace him. Anyone.'Right.' he thought. He was the heir. He was the one who'll take care of everything his father left. The next boss.The funeral passed and most of the people were gone before the sunset. One by one, they left with a nod to him. The only family member who was there for th

"A very small degree of betrayal is sufficient to cause the death of trust."Dario stormed into their house, nerves jumping as he realized that there was nobody anywhere.The moment he drove the car to the garage, he was already in fear as to why no one was outside.Where were the guards? Why weren't they at their posts?The worst started to come into his mind as he ran inside, screaming for Madie as he did so, his eyes furiously searching for him."Madie!" he screamed for her, opening the doors at the first floor of the safe house to find her. Nothing was missing, nothing was messed up and it didn't look like anyone barged it. Their luggage was still there untouched where it was before he left. "Baby!"The thought of Ivan getting to Madie and hurting her made him catch his breath. He couldn't take it.He made it to the second floor when he heard Adon's car in the driveway. They were

"Truth hurts. Doubt ruins. Lie destroys.""What is it?" Dario asked as soon as Eliana picked up the call."D..." she spoke, her voice coming in quiet yet clear via phone. "I-I know it's not the best time, and I know it's late but-""What's the matter, Eli?" he asked, looking back at his baby girl's sleeping form. He had to be quiet or else he'd wake her."Madeline... the first time I came to visit, the first time you introduced her, and I heard her name- it seemed familiar, like I heard it before."Dario's brows furrowed at her words. He didn't understand.How could Eliana know who Madeline was when she was seven?"And when Neil called me to tell me about the ambush at the port... it confirmed everything I was thinking of. He told me about Manuel."He remembered Neil telling him that they did in fact talk, Eliana and him.

"See, betrayal... you know that it will never come from your enemies.""You gonna go now?" Madie asked as she watched her Daddy leave some of his things by the passenger seat of his car, loading them and starting the car before walking over to her and cuddling."Yeah, baby. Daddy needs to go now." he answered as he left a small peck on her forehead.They were in each other's arms, with Dario's wrapped around her tiny waist and moving slightly side to side, causing them to sway.They were in their own magical world."And-and we'll go to ride the airplane later?" she asked again, still looking up to him. Her Daddy was tall, and she had to crane her neck very much to see him properly.She forgot to ask if they had giant gene in their family.Dario chuckled before nodding at her question. "Yeah, baby. And then we'll go to Hawaii, and then we'll have a house near the beach, and then we can swim and pla

"I swear I couldn't love you more than I do right now, and yet I know I will tomorrow.""Shh..." Dario whispered into Madie's ears as his hands did its work. "I got you, baby. Daddy's got you."His kisses deepened on her lips, more breath taking than ever.They were long gone the cool air outside, the warmth of their room enveloping them as their bodies stayed together.Carrying her in his arms was easy and light, as it ever was. Their lips and bodies stayed interlocked as he walked them both inside and to their room, easily avoiding the guards in their post just by the hallway.They knew not to look, but if they did, they he'd have to gauge their eyes out.Minutes in their room and Dario had his shirt off, whispering sweet words to Madeline as he took hers off her body. Slowly, sweetly, gently.Each inch of clothing he took off her body, he replaced with a gentle kiss. His lips touched her body

"I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you.""Are you going to be okay?" Eliana asked Dario who was seated beside her.He had his laptop by him, working.His baby girl was running around being chased by Chase, Eliana's pet hound that she brought with her when she came. Madie had both Ellie and a ball in her hands, tossing the ball playing fetch with the giddy hound.Dario was glad that the hound brought happiness to her.Trees surrounded the safe house; the only water source was the fountain where the Finnish Hound was drinking from. It was cozy, and the weather was warm. They were far from the city, far from danger. The fresh breeze and the shade from the trees made it cool even with the sun's heat.The sunshine was defeated by the rays of smile that Madie gave them whenever she would wave over.It wasn't easy maintaining the good ambiance of the place. Madie repeatedly a
