"We need to get it out, quick." Rex nodded and I carried Daisy hurriedly to the clinical room and tried to put her on the bed but she fisted my shirt and refused to let go. I narrowed my eyes and looked at Rex. "You need to sit. It won't hurt." Rex tried to calm her but she shook her head and buried her head in my chest when he tried to pick her up.

"It's okay." I said breathless. My first time holding a child, it feels weird. I sat on the bed with her still in my arms as the new guy inspected her and then her shoulder. "You can leave." Rex seemed to be completely zoned out as he watched me hold her and I know what he's thinking of. He crossed his arms before nodding and left hurriedly.

The guy numbed the girls arm and took out the tracker as she still rested her head on my chest. "How old are you?" I asked and moved her dirty hair away from her face. "Eight and a half." I nodded and my mouth turned into a small smile for some reason.

I carried her back to Rex's office when we were done and she was asleep on me with a tight grip on my shirt. Julian was gone, there was just Rex and Cameron in his office. "It's out. Harvey was probably just figuring out where the warehouse is and now he most likely knows." I said and he nodded.

My chest hurt when he acted like that.

"What do I do?" I said quietly and looked at the girl. I'm not going to make her work for the fucking mafia, that's for sure. "You've never listened before, why would I tell you what to do?" He said with narrowed eyes. "Put her with the trainers." I shook my head aggressively and Rex raised an eyebrow. "No." He let out a bitter smile and rolled his eyes.

"You ask me to tell you what to do and act your way anyway. You're a real piece of fucking work, Arabella." He said raising his voice at me making Daisy stir. "She's eight. We should find someone to take care of her." He raised his hands up in defence. "Do as you please. Come back when you have anything about Harvey. Actually, don't fucking bother. Call Cameron. " I gritted my teeth.

"Oh and wait." I stood on the doorway when he unlocked his cabinet. I walked next to him. There was a framed picture of us. He closed it before I could get a good look and frowned at me. He handed me a usb and I took it before placing it on my pocket. I walked out with the kid still attached to me. I felt claustrophobic but it was also nice in a way.

I walked to my car and placed her at the back before putting two seat belts on her because she was really small. I drove to my house and picked her up again before walking. I knocked on the door, too tired to search for my keys. A girl opened the door looking terrified of me.

"Are you Amy?" She nodded and I walked past her. Carmelo came out of his room shirtless after a shower. He widened his eyes and pointed at the child then me. "It's from Harvey's crudes. She's innocent and will stay here till I find somewhere." I explained and walked past him to my room. Daisy was looking around everywhere trying to know if she's in any danger. She calmed down when she realised it's just a normal house.

I didn't want to place her on my bed because she's really dirty. But I don't have clothes for her.

What the fuck do I do?

I don't know how to take care of a child. My mom never took care of me.

I banged on Carmelo's door after placing her on my bathroom stool. He was dressed this time and the girl followed behind him. "I don't know what to do." I whispered to him and he looked away thinking for a second. "Hey don't you have like three sisters?" He asked Amy and we just decided to get help from her. "Where is she?" She asked when we entered the room. "Bathroom stool." She widened her eyes at me.

"You left her alone at a bathroom stool?!" She walked faster to the bathroom and Carmelo was laughing at me. I rolled my eyes and also walked in. Amy helped her to take a shower while I washed and dried her clothes. I heard the door and walked to it to see who was here. It seemed like a package was here? But we didn't order anything. I called them up as Amy dressed Daisy.

I was tapping my foot anxiously and Sheilah ran up to me. Maybe Daisy will like her. I opened the door at the knock. "For Arabella." I sighed the paper and got the package. It was a small box.

I shook it before thinking better of it.

I grabbed scissors from the kitchen and opened it.

Kid clothes.

I looked though the whole box and saw a little paper.

I hope the little one enjoys what I sent,

I hope to see you soon again, Arabella

Love, Harvey

Oh you've got to be fucking kidding me! I need to tell this to someone. He knows Rex's warehouse. He knows where I live.

He knows me.

I rubbed my face and placed the box in the kitchen after picking up the clothes and also washing them. Daisy looked brand new and Amy gave me a concerned look. "Her arm is kind of bleeding." I forgot that she had small stitches there. I grabbed my fist aid kit and fixed up the wound before patching it up.

"Arabella, why did you take her?" I looked behind me and saw Amy standing next to Carmelo. "Later." I told him and he understood that I'll tell him after she leaves. They left my room eventually. "Arabella." I heard her say and looked at her laying on my bed. "Yes?" I said after opening my computer. She's distracting the fuck out of me.

"You're the one Harvey always talked about." I narrowed my eyes and looked at her. "He told me that I can only trust you and listen what you say. He didn't think you'd figure out the tracker this soon." I didn't know what to say to that. It's not a conversation I should be having with a eight year old in the first place.

"Get some sleep." I told her. God knows how long she's been there in the chair. I walked to the bathroom to change and then came back to Daisy already asleep. I got the usb from my jeans pocket and sat on my chair again. It was a voice recording?

'Rex honey, why would I ever tell your girlfriend that you were with Kelly? Your mom adored you two together why would I want to ruin that?'

'Like I said, I'm positive that's what she's heard before leaving but I couldn't believe you would be the one to make up that bullshit. I don't want your fucking daughter or anyone for that matter. Stay the fuck away from my mother-'

I grabbed the usb and walked outside to the living room to throw it at the wall and step on it till it broke. '"Fucking manipulative, attention seeking, wannabe desperate assholes!" I covered my face with my hands and sat on the ground.

Why didn't I speak to Rex?

It's because I thought he would keep lying! But he never lied in the first place. He never cheated, he didn't betray me.

He would never betray me and I lost him.
