When I turned to my side and didn't see Daphne I was surprised. Until I smelled eggs and bacon. She must be in the kitchen. I got up and did my morning routine and walked toward the kitchen. She was wearing my shirt which was so long on her with no pants scrambling eggs. What a perfect view. I walked towards her and wrapped my arms around her.

"Oh shit!" she got startled dropping the spatula and placed her hand on her chest.
"Sorry." I chuckled and placed a kiss on her shoulder.
"Good morning to you too." She said giggling.
She placed the plates on the table while I grabbed the coffee mugs from the cabinet.

"Have you ever been to LA?" I asked her.
She shook her head side to side while taking a sip of her coffee.
"How about I show you around today?" I offered.
"I mean it's not like we have anything else to do so why not." She said shrugging and took a bite of her bacon.
I gave her a smile and took a sip of my coffee.

After eating breakfast I was waiting for Daphne to get ready while talking to my phone.
"How's everything going?"
"Everything's going okay." I replied.
"Good. Now hang up before she suspects anything."
"She won't." I said.
"Better be cautious."
"Alright fine." I hung up.
Just in time Daphne stepped out of our room.

"Okay I'm ready." She announced. She was wearing the only clothes she had of her own.
I walked toward her and wrapped my arm around her waist pulling her close to me and kissed her.
"You look gorgeous." I said causing her to blush.
"Thank you." She said.
I kissed her again.

Throughout the day we walked around the city. We did some shopping since we didn't have anything with us. Especially Daphne. I looked at my watch and it was almost four.

"Want to go to a café?" I asked.
"Yeah I'm getting snacky."
I nodded holding her hand and walked toward a place I had in mind.
We ordered a cheesecake and orange juice.
"I had fun today." She said.
"I'm glad. Do you need anything else?" I asked.
"Not that I can think of. I think I did plenty of shopping for now. Thanks for the money by the way."

She couldn't use her credit card because they could easily track her. So I gave her the cash I had stacked in the house. Though I would've paid for her stuff either way.

"No need to thank me. My money is yours so buy whatever you want."
"That's a generous offer. I will pay you back once I get a job I guess."
"You know I won't accept the money so why bother saying it?"
"But-"
"Nope." I cut her off.
She let out a breathy laugh and drank her orange juice. She began to look around smiling.

I stared at her while the sun hit her face causing her skin to glow twice more.
Suddenly her smile fell and she burrowed her eyebrows.
"That's wired." She muttered.
"What?" I looked at the direction she was looking at.

Her father was on the other side of the café. Though he couldn't see us.

"What is my dad doing here?" she asked.
As she was going to stand up I grabbed her hand stopping her.
"He can't see you, remember?" I asked.
"Oh." She sank down in her seat.
"Maybe we should go back home." I suggested.
"Yeah good idea." She replied.
I paid and we went back home.

"I still don't understand. Why is my father here? He should be in London." She said.
"Want me to figure it out?" I asked.
"You can do that?"
"I mean I am Alberto's grandson, so yes I can." I said cockily.
"Maybe he's on a mission? Maybe he's working on a case?"
"I will figure it out for you." I said placing a kiss on top of her head.

As Daphne was taking a shower I worked behind my spare laptop I had here. I found the picture I was looking for and now all I had to do was to wait for Daphne to come out of the shower.

After twenty minutes she came out and got dressed.
"Hey babe." I called.
"Yes?" she faced me.
"I don't think your father is here to work on a case."
"What do you mean?" she walked toward me and sat next to me.

I faced the screen toward her. I showed her a picture of her father and her other daughter who Daphne had no idea about. Neither did Millie.

"What am I looking at?"
"He has been seen with her on multiple occasions."
"But who is she?"
"I don't know. I will dig deeper."

I saw her going deep in thoughts.

I smirked slightly typing something on my laptop.

And the second phase begins.
