AMAYA

CHAPTER 15

Amaya's pov

What? My father? Is this a joke or a dream?

I starred at him completely dumbfounded.

"My father?" He nodded. I felt like my head was spinning, this must be a joke i swear.

"You cant be my father, no way you are my father. I grew up in that orphanage, i have no parents so just stop with these false accusations" i panicked.

"I know this is hard for you to take in but believe me. I have solid proof that you are my daughter. I can explain everything you might want to know only if you calm down and give me the chance" i was breathing heavily.

I looked at him again and this time more carefully. Shit! We really resembled each other especially his eyes and his hairs. Omg could he be telling the truth?

"Explain everything" i told him. He nodded and asked me to follow him to his study.

After sitting down and him locking the door behind us he came and sat in-front of me before his desk. I was breathing so hard, the truth was just right in front of me.

"On the day 25th June 1995 a beautiful girl was born." I smiled hearing that. He said with so much adoration.

"I was very happy you were born" suddenly his face turned sad. "But you were stolen from us. They took you away" he said it with so much anger. His jaw tensed and i felt how painful it was.

"Who did that?" I asked out of curiosity.

He took a deep sigh and said " Your mother and were arranged for marriage. Our families were close and business related. So her father asked her to marry me in order to save their company. I cant deny the fact that i adored your mother so much. She was a beautiful woman and any man wouldn't say no to her. But she didn't reciprocate her feelings towards me. She had an affair with another man at the time and it was not easy for her to let him go. I also never wanted to force her to the marriage because i wanted her to be happy. But it was out of control so we eventually got married. I was surprised she treated me well as a husband. Few months later she got pregnant and it was such a great news to us. But, just few months before delivery i found out that she still had an affair with her x behind my back. It broke my heart because i adored her so much. However i didn't let her know about it because i didn't want her to loose the baby. I also had my doubts if the baby was mine. Which is why on the day of your delivery, i took samples for a DNA test which turned out that you were my real daughter. I was very happy but it was the same night that you went missing from the hospital. You just disappeared into thin air" he was now in tears as he narrated the whole story. I found my self crying too.

"I did all i could Amaya. It has taken me 26 years to find you. And here you are" he smiled bitterly. "Turns out the person who was sent to take you away never had the guts to do anything bad to you so he brought you to an orphanage. However we found him dead at his apartment during the investigation" my mouth parted.

"So it wasn't easy to look for you sweetie, i am a powerful man but never ever felt so useless in my life when searching for you"

"I did everything that you may not be proud of just to search for you" he said.

"Now that you are here with me i cant loose you again. I am sorry for everything that happened. And i am sorry for abducting you. It wasn't a good way for you to meet me but i had to it. You were in danger" my eyes widened.

"I have to protect you now otherwise they will kill you just to get back at me for what i did"

"What are you talking about? "

"Sweetie its best that you dont know for know. But please let me handle this and i will explain everything eventually" i found my self nodding.

"So how are sure are you that i am your daughter?"

"I took a DNA test using your piece of hair when you were sleeping. I am sorry i did that but i just wanted to proof it" okay this is all confusing right now. I stood up from the chair and walked back and forth touching my head. I couldn't think straight.

"Where is my mother" that was all i needed to ask.

"She left. She and i broke up when you went missing and i never heard from her again" i scoffed in disbelief. I sat on the couch and started to cry so hard.

"Daddy is here now" i heard him patting my back and he held me tightly. I just need a hug and he was doing a great job for that. He patted me slowly and i kept on crying and crying til I finally came down.

"I will understand if you dont like me one bit. I am not a good person Amaya. Bit when it comes to you, i cant let anything happen to you. You are my only child and i love you. I really do" he said in tears and i dont know why, i ended up hugging him.

"Its okay dad" i said the word that i always wanted to say throughout my life.

"Thank you so much my daughter" he kissed my forehead.

"Are you willing to stay with me?" He asked.

"But... everything is just so sudden. I want to think this through" he nodded.

"Just stay with me until you do. I need to protect you" i was sacred and i just needed to be safe.

"The day i got kidnapped did you instruct you man to punch my face that hard?" His face fell.

"That bastard didnt listen well. I fired him already. I gave him a good punishment for hurting my precious daughter. Dont even remind me of him. He is a completely.."

"Dad stop" i raised my hand.

"Its okay. I am fine okay?" He looked at em with disbelief.

"I am so sorry about that princess" he said again.

"It is fine dad okay?" He smiled.

"But next time. Just talk to me like two civilized people instead of using your power" he chuckled.

"I promise" i smiled.

"So are you ready for me to introduce you to my friends?" I heaved a deep sigh.

"I am" i nodded and he smiled so deeply.
