“God knew what he was doing from the very beginning.”- Unknown
Elsie POV
“Why are you here, Elsie?” Andrea queried.
“To visit you, princess. You don’t want to meet me?” I said faking a sad face.
“Of course I want to meet you. I’m happy you came to visit me. I always ask daddy to bring me to you but he always busy.” She complained. I laughed, impressed with how her smart mouth uttered every single word.
“You didn’t tell me you will come to meet me,” she continues with her big smile that never leaves her face from the moment she saw me.
“Well, it will not be a surprise if I told you, right?” I titled my head and brought my forehead to hers which made her giggled.
“By the way, how are you, princess?”
“I’m not that good.” She pouted.
“Why is that so?”
“Because you were not here and I missed you.”
“Aww, I missed you too.” I felt someone’s eyes stared at me but I pretended as if he didn’t exist.
“I always ask daddy to send you I missed your text and you said you missed us too.” Oh, how am I supposed to answer that? Is this a trap?
He purposely cleared his throat interrupted the conversation. “Sweet pie,” he called her with a cute nickname in a warning tone. Not to scare her but a message for her to stop being naughty. Andrea turned her head and looks at him. It doesn't scare her instead she grinned playfully. Four years old kid with her smart brain. I shook my head looking at her.
“Let me tell you something,” she looks at me waiting for my words. “I will be staying here with you,” I told her the news even though the truth was her mafia dad forced me to stay at this mansion. Anyway, I’m not going to get kids involved in our conflict.
“Really?” Her eyes widen, shocked by my statement. I nodded my head and sending her a smile to convince her.
“Really, daddy?” She turned to look at the bad guy that stood a few steps from us.
I can see he nodded from the edge of my eyes.
“Are you happy, sweet pie?” He asked her but I didn’t turn my head to look at him.
“Yes, I’m very very happy,” Andrea said clapping her little hands and jumping on my arm.
“Great. I will leave you two together for now,” he spoke while I fixed my eyes on Andrea. I nodded my head without saying any words to him. He ruffled Andrea’s hair and walked away.
Dexter POV
I was happy and satisfied when I saw Andrea’s reaction just now. For her smile, laughter, and happiness I will do anything. Even though I need to pay the price with human life, I will still do it for her without any doubt.
I stood outside of my office looking at both of them. I saw Andrea’s showered Elsie with her kisses all over her face. She giggled when she realized her saliva was all over her face. Their laughter echoed the whole mansion. It sounded like music to my ears. I love what I saw and what I heard now. I could sense the genuine care from her.
But, until when this will last?

“Dust settles. I don’t.”-UnknownElsie POVI left Andrea in the room once I put her to sleep. Her room was on the first floor while mine was on the second floor. I look around searching for that guy that forced me to be here. I need to settle with him about the contract or whatever agreement that we talked about before this. I can’t be stuck at this place as his puppet for the whole life.I walked around the mansion alone. Some of the maids were in the kitchen and numerous men patrolling outside the mansion. I don’t know where his r
“I wish I could ignore you as you ignore me.”-UnknownDexter POVToday I clear out some time to spend with my sweet pie but this round with Elsie joining us. Talking about her, it had been two weeks since she avoided me after the incident in the basement. She avoided me at every corner of the house and not even spares me a glance, literally she just treated me as an invisible man that doesn't exist in the mansion.I walked towards the kitchen and saw her preparing the food for our picnic later. She placed the food in the lunch box and put it inside the big basket. Andrea ente

“I didn't fall for you, you fucking tripped me.”- UnknownDexter POV“Mr. Lorenzo,” I called out his name when I recognized his face. Both of them turned to look at me. I snatched Elsie's hand out from his hand while remained a fake smile on my face.“Oh, Mr. Anderson. It’s a pleasure to talk to your partner. We have a great chat just now. I’m asking her if I can dance with her tonight,” he said, purposely want to mess with my mood. I shouldn't take her as my partner today and it wasn't good to let my enemy knows about her.
“I plan for bugging you every single day for the foreseeable future.”-UnknownElsie POV“Where are we?” I noticed that the car didn’t stop at the mansion.“This is your penthouse.

I will just ignore him during this whole trip.“Love

He was a crazy possessive man. He won’t let me go even in my sleep.

I sat at the edge of the pool and dug my legs in the pool while he swam from side to side of the pool.“How long you want to be here?” He answered my question with a question. I rolled my eyes at him irritably.“I don’t want to be here at all,” I confessed while my eyes f

“Thinking of you is a poison I drink often.” -AtticusElsie POV“Lucas, hurry up. We need to go before they notice us,” I urged him to drive the car away from my place. He quickly drove away from there and I turned my head to the back to make sure no one was following us. We got this idea last night after brainstorming on the phone for one hour. Now, the mission starts for real which is running away from the mafia. In three hours' time, we will be out of the city for good. At least, we can enjoy our time without any distractions. Ridiculous distraction, if I might add.
