"Daddy can be your superhero, baby. Always to the rescue and ready to help." Dario gazed lovingly at his little as she played in their yard. The chatter and laughter of his men inside the house was the only background noise. It was peaceful and quiet, a nice Saturday morning.He noticed that Madie was feeling better than she did yesterday. She woke up all cuddly and a smile on her face, blushing whenever he smiled at her. He guessed that yesterday was only a bad day for her, and being naughty was her way of coping.He fixed that immediately though, and he made sure that there were no bruises that will form in her soft bottom. Making sure that he placed an ice pack before breakfast, they had a meal full of laughter and giggles when they left their room.Now, she was full of energy and running around looking for a butterfly. He was also sure that he heard her imitating a dog's bark when she saw a squirrel.With

"Once in a while, right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairy tale." "I want kissies, Daddy!"Dario blinked. Once, twice. Thrice. Registering his sweetheart’s words in his mind.It might seem silly, like a silly idea from a child, but coming from Madie's lips, it made his heart skip like a broken record. His breath hitched. He thought it was a big problem, where Madie's mind was frightened of their relationship and would back out, but it wasn't. It was far from it. She wanted to kiss. A kiss.Dario couldn't stop himself from chuckling, a deep chuckle that resonated in their room. "Oh, baby..."He grabbed hold of her hands and lifted, kissing her knuckles while staring deeply into her eyes. "My sweet, sweet baby.""That's... that's my problem, Daddy." she mumbled, a blush forming on her cheeks with his kiss."If you wanted to, you c

"For love, I'd do anything.For you, I'd do even more." "She was already adopted."Dario's forehead creased in confusion. It didn't make sense. His Madie wasn't adopted, there wasn't any documents regarding whatever adoption that took place. Standing up from his chair, he grabbed whatever Neil and Adon had in their hands and scanned through it. It was a single-page document that stated, indeed, that 'Madeline' has been adopted.By who or when, it didn't say."What the fuck?" he spoke, his voice low and raspy. The two other men knew that he was now pissed."How the fuck did we not know that? And who the hell adopted Madie secretly?" he asked, his burning eyes trained on Adon, since he was in charge of investigating the orphanage and everyone in it."That's the thing. I went through everything there could possibly in the orphanage, every nook and cranny, but there wasn't an

"Love is as sweet as your voice when you wake up in the morning by my side. Love is when you hold me in your arms. Love... is you.""Madie." Dario reprimanded as Madeline ran off of the car, towards the fast food place that they went to. They were about to have lunch. "Wait for me, sweetheart."They came from the hospital for Madeline's check-up. He had called for a full check-up to make sure Madeline was healthy. It was easy for him, since the Doctor worked for him and knew who he was.They had to take a few minutes in the waiting area when they arrived at 9AM. He had to remind her to be a good girl and go easy on the kicking, even if she was scared. He was nervous, since he woke her up early to prepare her and they only ate little for breakfast.He prepared himself just in case she threw a tantrum."You have to be brave, baby." he told her, holding her hands in his. He was kneeling in one knee while his Madie

"I want your happiness because you deserve it. I want you to be happy, because it's the way you were always meant to be."Dario drove past the traffic in the highway as he headed home. He just finished all the work he had to do at a coast site and fixed delivery dates of their outgoing paraphernalia.His right hand clutched the steering wheel as the other held a cigarette over the window, the smoke blowing past him as he stepped on the gas. All the work wore him off and all he wanted to do was to cuddle with his little girl all day.He remembered the movies and games they played earlier in the TV room, with Madie stuck to his side all the while. He thought her how to play Uno, dice games, and even Monopoly. She didn't quite understand, but it wasn't hard pretending to lose the game, so she'd become happy in winning.Her smile and giggle were the only reward he needed.Aside from that, they binge watched Disney

"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy, when skies are grey. You never know, dear, how much I love you.I'm not going to let anyone take you away." Shit.That was what the voice in Dario's head repeated over and over as he stepped near his frowning baby. She was still hugging Ellie, but the smile in her face was long gone. Her beautiful lips were in a frown as she turned, stepping away from him.Shit."I'm sorry, baby. Daddy got so busy and drove fast so he can see you soon." he explained, chasing after her to the kitchen. There he saw her plate, almost empty. All that was left twas a few pieces of vegetables scattered around, as if played with.He didn't even think of scolding her. It was him who fucked up tonight."I missed you so much that I drove home too fast, baby. I'm so sorry." it was a good fucking

"Together is my favorite place with you, baby." 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'
