I ignored the pain I felt shooting through my body, my body being incredibly sore from 2 nights ago but I didn't care. I headed inside & slid the door shut, my hands shook in pure rage.

"Mariano just snatched his kid out of my hands. What's happening?" He asked innocently & I sighed.
"I know I promised I wouldn't leave, but I have to my love. I'm so sorry." I whispered & instant tears filled his eyes. His lips quivered & tears fell from his eyes.

I headed upstairs to the second floor & walked down the long corridor heading towards Mariano's bedroom. I knocked once & he instantly opened the door.
He stepped aside allowing me to enter his bedroom & he shut the door behind me. I looked at him & we both cracked a smile trying to stop ourselves from laughing. He walked over to me & we shook hands laughing.
"You're a good actor. I really thought you were about to slit my throat." He said slapping my back & I chuckled.
"Nah." I laughed. Rylee's baby sounds caught my attention & I looked at the baby sitting on the fluffy rug playing with her socks, I walked over to her picking her up from the ground. I tickled her softly & she giggled.
