AntonioI couldn't believe it.I couldn't stay seated throughout the whole flight. I waited on bated breath for my brother to phone back and say it was a mistake. A mistaken identity or some shit but when I showed up at the beach and saw C.J. With barely any colour on her face I knew."You lied! You fucking lied to me!" I shout to her. My brother gets on my way but I don't allow him to get too far in the way."I'm sorry! I'm sorry okay I had to.""No! No, you fucking didn't! I mourned my fucking wife with you and the whole family and you lied to me! You knew she was alive and you kept it from me! From everyone" I shout drawing attention to us."Calm the fuck down, man. Don't speak to her like that!" He says getting into my face and I respect him for protecting her. I managed to shower and shave, get sobered up and have an actual meal on the flight here but the nerves are settling in big time."Where is she?" I ask pinching the bridge of my nose.She points to the woman sitting on the

Antonio"Daze?" I say trying to get a look at what's going on but I can't see anything. I don't even know if I can forgive her right now but the broken look in her eyes makes me want to hold her tightly to me. "I'm okay. I just remembered actually that I need...I need some things from the shop down the road...I, I won't be too long" She says and I can tell it's all bullshit but I won't call her out on it. If she 7#doesn't want to be around me then I will have to try harder soon to get her to see that we are a family and a family will always stick together. "Daisy" C.J. says but Max stops her when the front door closes. "So this is my niece?" Max says as he approaches Clara, taking her little hand in his."It is. This is my princess" I say snuggling myself into her neck and tickling her with my beard which makes her laugh. She's got such a beautiful, carefree laugh that I just can't stop the tears from falling."What's wrong with Daisy?" Max asks and then I remember she left. "I-""

Antonio I watch as Clara eats her food. My mind and body are just observing the way she doesn't bother with who is around her but she is quick to watch Daisy's movements. I understand why she did it, why she changed her name and moved and I want to phone my mother and father. Inform them of everything that's happened but my gut is telling me to wait a while so that Daisy can get used to having me around again. Standing at the kitchen Island, I watch her with our daughter...just waiting for her to finish so I can help with bedtime and watch over her so my wife can sleep. Max and C.J. have gone out for the night and he told me he would be booking them into a hotel with some of our men standing guard for protection. "You ready for your bath baby?" Daisy asks Clara as she clears her food away. I don't move, I don't think the shock of everything happening has worn off yet."Dada" she squeals "Dada bath." She says as she sticks her arms out to me. "Hi Princess," I say extending my arms o

Daisy It's been 7 days since Antonio showed up here. 7 days of watching him and his little girl, 7 days of feeling his presence when he assumes I'm asleep but I know I'm not. I can't sleep, I have my husband in my house who won't sleep next to me, I have a daughter who is so smitten with her father that she never wants me anymore and I have a self-esteem problem where my whole body vibrates with anxiety and nervousness."I spoke to my ma and pops the other morning" he explains as he sits beside me. I have watched them for the last hour and my mind won't allow me to break away from every negative thought running through my body. The same body he won't look at anymore. The same body I try my hardest to cover up every day and night knowing he's here but it doesn't always work. I shower with the door locked and I wear long clothing to bed in case he does come and sleep next to me but he doesn't. Not once has he even set foot in my room other than to bring me a coffee in the morning. "O

Antonio I watched as she walked out of that door. My world walked out scared shitless of me because I didn't even realise I had a hold of her arms. I don't think it was that tight but she refused to let me go with her. Refused to let me be around her in fear and that is something I don't ever want her to feel. "Man...what the fuck!" my brother shouts at me. I haven't had a moment where I can gather my bearings because the moment Daisy left her apartment he forgot who he was speaking to but I guess his mind isn't talking to the don, he's talking to his twin brother who fucked up."What do you want me to say? I fucked up? I don't even remember losing my temper with her. I don't even remember grabbing her. All I remember is coming to the now and having you both shouting at me so back the fuck off" I shout back at him. It isn't until he brings his phone up with a video of her shaking under my hold, tears streaming down her face and trying to pull away from my grip that I realise I must
