Chapter Twenty-Four

Raffael

~~~~

We left the office building and Sam dropped me off at my hotel and left. I went straight into the shower to freshen up.

I came out and got into bed. I couldn’t sleep though. I had a daughter. I wonder what her name was. I thought about following Camilla to see where she would go to but I decided against it.

I didn’t want her to tell my daughter bad things about me. I kept brainstorming ideas on how I would see her again. I slept off in the middle of thinking.

When I woke up the next morning, I went to the gym that was in the hotel to work out. We were leaving for New York tomorrow and I was thinking of how I would see my daughter. I wanted to meet her and be introduced as her father. For now, she only knew me as a stranger.

I finished my workout and went to freshen up. I called Sam and told him to call Mr Edison. I wanted him to schedule a dinner before we left for New York tomorrow. I also told him to make sure Camilla was in attendance.

    Chapter Twenty-Six Raffael ~~~~ She went into the room and I followed behind her. Aurora was lying on the bed while the doctor was examining her. “What’s wrong with her?” She asked. “Are you the mother?” The doctor asked. “Yes.” “Luckily, it’s nothing too serious. Just a slight headache and fever. She should be better by tomorrow.” The doctor said. “She should be awake in a couple of hours. I’ll come back to check on her.” He left the room. She rushed to her side and sat down on the chair beside the bed. I stood at the side and watched her. She buried her head in sheets close to her. She stayed in that position for a few seconds then I heard sobbing. I went to her and saw that she was crying. “Hey, what’s wrong?” I asked. She raised her head and sniffed. She cleaned her tears with the back of her palm. “I’m a bad mum.” She said. “Why do you think that?” I asked. “I didn’t even notice my daughter was sick before I left the house. What kind of mother am I? I

Go back inside.” I said.“Then why are you yelling?”“Camilla, I think we should tell her now.” My grandpa said.“I don’t think it’s the right time. I’m not in the right state for this.”“Camilla.” I left and went into the bathroom. Everything Raffael said was true. Was I a bad mother for keeping her away from him?I didn’t know when I started crying. I was selfish. I wish I hadn’t run into him that day at the office. I wished had just stayed out of our lives.I thought about it and realized I was being selfish again. I didn’t want him in my life but what about Rory? She needed her dad in her life. Why was I depriving her of the one thing I didn’t have growing up? A dad.“Camilla, can I come in?” Skye asked knocking on the bathroom door.I didn’t reply but she came in anyway.“Oh, Camilla.” She said and wrapped her

The drive there wasn’t quiet as Rory and Raffael were chattering, Rory, doing most of the talking. After 10 minutes, we arrived at her school and we escorted her to her class. Raffael said his goodbyes and went to wait in the car while I went in to talk to her teacher. “Ms. Ruth, can I speak with you?” I said when I approached her. “Yes. Is there a problem?” She asked seeing as my demeanor wasn’t good. “There is.” I said. “My daughter came home the other day and complained that some of the girls in her class have been teasing her about not having a dad.” “I’m sorry about, Ms. Brown.” She said. “So I was thinking maybe you should talk to the girls and maybe their parents. They should also apologize to Rory.” “I most definitely will do that. I will talk to the girls and make sure they apologize. I’m sorry about it, it’ll never happen again. I’ll make sure of that.” “

Do I need to drive you to the office?” I asked and started the car.“No, you can just drop me off at the house. I go to the office by myself.” She replied. I knew she would say that.
