"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

"It's a war not easily won, but if anything is worth saving— it's you.""Will El visit again soon, Daddy?" Madie asked her Daddy who stood behind her in the mirror, preparing for bed just like her.They were in their bathroom, with Dario making sure that Madeline was brushing her teeth properly and not just eating her flavored toothpaste. As she brushed her teeth, he tied her blonde hair into a neat braid, so it won't bother her in her sleep.She was freshly showered, and her hair smelled like strawberry's, just like his. His Madie was the one who made sure that his hair smelled delicious and felt soft as she applied her shampoo onto his head."Yeah, baby. Soon." he answered.Dario didn't expect Madie and Eliana to get along. Much less be like sisters in just a matter of hours.Eliana wasn't like that. But he guessed that Madie was just that sweet angel that everyone loved.He couldn't agr

"I need you safe and well and protected. I need you to be okay, because that is the only thing keeping me from going insane.""Is this your house, Daddy?" Madie asked as her eyes looked around the spacious living room.It was smaller compared to the mansion that was their home. Maybe because this was only for a small family, and that big mansion was for their big family. Big family including her Daddy's suited friends and the maids that were her friends.She wondered why they went here instead of their big house.She thought that they were going to have a date at the doughnut store, but then he was busy with work, so she went by herself.Her Daddy showed himself a few hours later, and she thought that they were gonna go home, but they went here instead.It was averylong car ride, and she was bored most of the way.Madie looked at the big clock on the wall a

"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.

"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

"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.

"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.

"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
