little warning for this chapter

(Back at Kelly's POV)

I shouldn't expect any less, i told you, I'll always be Anissa's daughter. I have to remember that's why I'm here. That's the only reason I'm here.

Snapping me away from my thoughts, in walks Cade. He looks furious, oh god. I made him angry.

"I'm sorry!" I whimper before he can do anything else.

He tops in his tracks and gives me a weird look. "Why are you apologising?" He questions.

I scrunch my eyebrows up in confusion. Wait he's not mad at me?

"I know what Vincent said to you"

What? "How.. how did you know"

"He told me" he sighed.

"You won't have to see him again" he continues.

"Why? Where is he?" I ask

"It doesn't matter" he replies. I don't say anything.

"Why didn't you tell me" he says while walking up to me and cupping my face in his cheeks.

"Because it's all true. And if I reminded you, you might not want me anymore" I whisper, my eyes tearing up.

"Kelly, I'll always want you. There's nothing that would change my mind about it" he says in a quiet soft tone. He sounds so genuine.

A single tear falls down my face and he swipes his thumb across my face, catching it.

I remember when he said 'no wonder your mother didn't want you' that never left me. And no matter how much I wanted to hate him for all he said when he first saw me, I can't help but love him.

"Look, the only thing I'll thank your mother for doing, is giving me you" he says in a soft quiet tone. One that makes me feel so safe.

"Really"

He leans in and places a soft kiss on my lips. "Did that answer it?" He whispers. I smile and he pulls me in for a hug.

"Thank you" I mumble into his chest.

"For what" he chuckles.

"For accepting me"

"How could I not" he kisses my forehead.

The doorbell rings and our bodies break apart. We both go downstairs and I wait in living room. After a few minutes Cade comes in with two older looking people, actually the man looks a little like Cade.

"Who's this?" He asks bluntly.

"Kelly smith. Kelly these are my parents" Cade speaks.

His parents! Wow I'm not prepared. I quickly stand up and put my hand out to shake they're hand. They both shake and look me up and down. "Lillian and Antonio" the woman tells me with the tiniest smile. "Nice to meet you both" I nod my head and smile.

Antonio looks like he just realised something and narrows his eyes at me. Why is he looking at me like that..

"Smith, did you say her last name was?" He questions.

"Yes sir" I answer.

He scrunched his eyebrows up and gave me a glare. "You don't mean.."

"Yes I do" Cade interrupts him.

"Cade Flavio Romano!!" His mother spits, her accent so thick.

"How could you do something like this?!" His Father yells. "She's not her mother!" Cade spits back. "Your a disappointment, boy!" His father growls. Cade seemed unbothered, almost like he's used to it.
