2024-11-15 20:01:03Anna/Linda POV
“What a clever girl!”
My eyes lit up when I heard her talk, not in the usual garbled English like most kids her age.
To my delight, I nuzzled her cheek and kissed her neck.
Penelope giggled.
“Clever!” She said, mimicking my words before puckered her lips for a kiss.
I eagerly dropped a quick kiss on her lips and hugged her to my chest.
“Ah! Tight!’ Penelope protested and pushed at my chest.

Anna/Linda POV“F-flint!” I stammered when his name rolled out my lips.I did not expect that he would follow me home.“How?”I clutched a hand to my chest when it started to beat erratically in nervousness.“I have your car. It’s easy to find the registered address after that. But imagine my surprise with what I found out. My happily married brother owns the deed to your car and this apartment.”Flint’s voice hardened, and his eyes were like ice when he pierced me with a glare.

Anna/Linda POVFlint looked sucker punched.The color drained from his face. He stared at Penelope, eyes wide in shock. Then, he shifted his gaze to stare at me before returning to Penelope.I could sympathize with him. It was not every day a woman would tell you you fathered her child. “What did you just say?” He stammered. There was a tremor in his voice that was not there a few moments ago. I am unsure if that is because he was excited about the news or worried about this situation cramping his lifestyle.I heard his brothers at the reception ribbed him.He was a player. I am not sure if he would take the news of having a daughter kindly.At the thought, I felt a sense of gloom, not for me but for my baby. Despite the circumstances of her conception, I didn't want Flint to reject my daughter. That would be heartbreaking. “I don't make it a habit of repeating myself if you didn't hear what I said. Then sorry, better luck next time.” I knew I sounded rude, but dismissing F

Flint POVThe moment I held her in my arms, I was a goner. My daughter! It took all my willpower not to shout at the top of my lungs for fear that I might frighten her, but my chest was near to bursting. It felt constricted. I can’t explain the happiness that filled me at the sight of her. She was so pretty and smart, like her mother. Then, she repeated what I said earlier when I introduced myself, making my chest swell with uncontained pride. “Dad! Dad! Dad!” The way she addressed me jolted me. It went straight to my heart. Penelope waited for my reaction, expecting praise. I did not disappoint her. “Very good! I am your daddy, my little Queen.” I swayed her from side to side, feeling lightheaded at the rapid way things unfolded. Penelope mimicked me again. “Dad-di!” Then, she pointed to Anna and called her. “Ma-mi!” Anna grinned. She stepped closer, hands spread wide, enticing Penelope to come to her, but my girl snubbed her mother. She turned her head away and

Flint POVRelief coursed through me.I have always known Anna is a sensible person and banked on it. That is why it puzzled me when she agreed to run away with me two years ago. More puzzling was her behavior after two days, leaving me without a word. Maybe, I just did not know her. Remembering what happened two years ago made my heart twitch as pain coursed through my heart to settle in the pit of my stomach. But I cast it aside. What matters now is I have them - Anna and my daughter. In the past years, I never thought I would see Anna again. I have to chalk it up to fate when our paths cross again.Or was it Rowan, said a little mocking voice in my head.My face contorted in dismay at the reminder. The idea that my brother and the mother of my child had a connection rankled. It speaks of a closeness that I was not part of. Envy started to build up. Ideas crowded my head. I wanted to put them on the table for discussion to get it off my chest. "What is your relationship with

Flint POV“What? Are you out of your mind?”Anna’s loud voice startled Penelope.Our baby jumped in fright, and she started bawling. Penelope's bottom lip protruded cutely, and her eyes smarted with tears.She pointed at her mother before pressing her face to my neck, seeking comfort. “You don’t have to shout. You frightened our daughter.” I pointed out. The anger on Anna’s face has not abated. In fact, it worsened when she eyed the way Penelope clutched at my neck.It was like our daughter had forgotten her.“Because you say the most st*pid things. We can’t marry each other Flint.” It was a blatant rejection; a first in my case. Even when I was a child, I don’t remember a time when a woman denied me. Well, there will always be a first in everything. Still, her rejection rankled. “Why?” My tone became sharp.I mentally knocked my head.I should be coaxing her, not antagonizing her. But the rebuff I got from her did not sit well with me, especially as I suspect she still hold

Anna/Linda POVAfter Flint left, I transferred Penelope to our room. Her head turned around as if she was looking for something or someone. She only spent a few hours with her father, but she has adjusted so well. I think Penelope would be a daddy’s girl. I saw their bond earlier and marveled at how easily Flint got my daughter’s heart. He got you that first night, says the little voice in my head, so there’s really no wonder that Penelope would be attached to her father this early. An apple doesn't fall far from the tree. When she got bored with her toys, she started fussing. She was rubbing her eyes, a sign that she was impatient. It did not help that she was calling for her daddy. “Dad-dy! Dad-dy!” Penelope walked toward the door. She struggled when I grabbed her and placed her back on the floor at the foot of the bed. “Dad-dy!”She was openly crying now. I bent to the waist to carry her. “Shhh, baby. Don’t cry. Daddy will be back.” I swayed her from side to side to get h

We broke apart and raced up the stairs. “Daddy!” Penelope’s tear-drenched face lifted up in our direction when we opened the door to our room. She was standing on her cot. Her arms were outstretched toward me, silently asking to be pulled up. I didn’t think twice about responding to my daughter’s distress call. In three strides, I was in front of her. I cupped her chin.“Did you miss Daddy?” I asked gently. Longing pierced me when I saw her face. It was unfathomable how the two of us had become quite attached when we only knew about each other’s existence a few days ago. The connection was so strong. “You reek of alcohol.” Anna reminded me when I bent down to pick Penelope in my arms. “Just a while, dear. Let me comfort our daughter for a while." Anna stood to the side, watching while I rocked Penelope. I swayed my body from side to side while my little girl clung to me. Then, her eyes ha

Instead of overthinking and suspecting your brother, go to your wife and seek the answers to all the questions crowding your head.”“I really love talking to you, Brent. You are like a cold bath - scary but necessary.” I told him bluntly.Brent chuckled.“You needed it.”I clapped Brent on the back.“Thanks.”“Let’s go. It’s two in the morning, and the manager had been giving us deadly looks already. I think this club is closing for the day.”After Brent settled the bill, we rose from our seats and ambled back to his car.I left my c

Anna/Linda POVWe spent three days secluded in the exclusive villa Flint rented for us. It was nothing short of idyllic. Penelope had a wonderful time. “Dad-dy!” She squealed and jumped on her little feet to evade the coming waves. “Bubbles!” She would cry in gibberish, pointing at the sea foam that crowded her feet and ankles. Then she would run to Flint, and Flint would swoop down to capture her and put her to dry sand. Then, she would stroll toward the waves again, repeating the same actions until Flint rescues her.“You are silent,” Flint said when he deposited Penelope beside me. I was sitting on the sand with my legs stretched out in front of me. He quickly worked on the sand, digging with his hands and throwing them to cover my legs. It attracted Penelope, and she mimicked her father. She took clumps of sand in her hands and threw them to my legs. “You need a spade, my little Queen,” Flint said.He looked around our surroundings before his eyes focused on something no
