I feel so empty when I'm not around Storm and Star.

We placed them into one of our business apartments while my brothers and me track down that son of a bitch, Dominic. My brother are used to the killing while I do the tracking.

It's never been this hard for me to find a low life like Dominic. The only thing I'm sure of is Storm and Star are more than one hundred percent safe.

Our apartments come with employment in our company and they have a guard standing in front of each door, no one out side of the people living there and my brother and I can get inside because of the packed security and other aspects of security- virtual.

Especially the apartment for Storm and Star.

I like privacy and I felt like I was enough to protect them and I only needed people watching my home during the day. Storm didn't like the idea of people watching our home 24/7 either, we both regret that decision.

"Maybe you should leave," Scar suggest sitting on the corner of my desk.

I'm in my office every hour of everyday, I've barely been able to see Storm, it kills me inside. I'm not sure if she's upset with me, when we text it's dry. I see Star every other weekend because she still stays over Lucifer's house for Ava.

To be fair Storm was never a good at keeping conversations up during text. If she did it means she's bored.

I ignore Scar because he's been saying the same thing for the past few weeks, he closes the laptop, "Seth, I'm not asking you I'm telling you. You and Storm haven't been talking and I'm not sure, actually I don't care what's going on. You have a responsibility with Star, you adopted her, you need to go be a father to her. And you say you love Storm, go hug and kiss her or some cringey shit y'all do man... I don't know."

I sigh, he's right.

For the first time.

"I texted Storm today and she left me on read," I inform him with a laugh.

Deep down that killed me.

"If she was Ally or another girl I would tell you to go out and fuck another girl and forget about em'. But it's Storm, I've never seen you love someone like this, and if I was her I would leave you on read too. She lives.. what? 5 minutes away and you haven't went to see her," he speaks with sense, "don't fuck up. Our whole 20 something years of living we've been mistreated by 'family'. You've built this family with Storm, be a dad, be a boyfriend and suck it up. They need you."

"You're right," I clear my throat standing up from my desk.

"I'm always right," he chuckles, "not trying to be a dick or nothin' we just know what it's life to have absent parents. Granted Star has her mom but every child deserves two parent's biological or not."

Being Star's dad isn't hard for me. I know she's missing Dominic, he hurt her feeling and she's too young to understand why he isn't around. Disappointing Storm is what's ripping at me, not being the man she deserves. What if I can't protect her from this idiot? I would never forgive myself.
