CHAPTER 3

DANIEL ROGERS
"She hasn't called yet, she was supposed to call an hour ago", I was holding Angelina in my arms, bouncing her around, trying to catch Maeve on the phone, "relax sweetheart, I'm sure she'll call soon", I hung up, letting out a breath, "how did she get full custody", Maya took Angelina from my arms, rubbing my back.

"Daddy's sad, Angel, he misses Maevey", I smiled softly at my other little girl, stroking her hair back, "I shouldn't have listened to her, I should've bought her a ticket", Maya pecked my lips, making Angelina laugh, "I promise you, I'm sure she hasn't done anything to Maeve", I rubbed my face, nodding, she would've called me if she sensed danger.

"You want to go and have a little nap with Angel, I'lI wake you up if she'll call okay?", I nodded, pecking her lips again, "come on, baby, let's have a little nap, huh?", I tickled her stomach, a soft giggle leaving her mouth, making me smile widely, "Daniel!", Maya ran upstairs, my phone in her hand, "Maeve?", there was silence on the other side for a few seconds, "dad", I sighed In relief as I heard her voice, relaxing.

"Hey baby, how are you", I smiled, looking down at Angelina, who smiled back, clapping, "I-I'm good dad, how are you", why is she stuttering, "I'm good too, my love, are you okay, has Elora done anything to you?", I don't dare calling the cruel woman my baby's mom. I looked at maya, who looked at me with concern, "no, no don't worry dad, I'm absolutely fine, I miss you".

"I miss you too, sweetheart, so bad, just-just let me buy you a ticket, please sweetheart, you'll have a new beginning, and I'll help you with the college degree, I'll do whatever you want me to do, I just don't want you to stay with that woman", there was silence once again, frowning, is she really okay, "no, please dad, I insist on paying, I just-".

"You're just what, sweetheart, talk to me", the line was cut off, making me frown, trying to call again, no answer, no fucking answer, something is not right, she always answers me. I don't know what to think anymore.

"I should go to New York".

MEAVE ROGERS
I started sobbing as soon as my dad hung up, "you-you fucking monsters", I pushed Giovanni away, standing up, trying to run to the door, making Romeo grab me, "shh, shh", I punched his chest over and over again, trying to push him away, but he didn't budge.

"Breath", he picked me up, looking at everyone, "he-he'll come to New York, I know him, he'll look for me", Romeo shushed me once again, resting my head on his shoulder, bouncing me around like a baby, "hand her over", Romeo handed me over to whoever said it, placing my head on his shoulder, "hey princess", I think his name was Nico, whispered in my ear, kissing my head.

"Just breath", he rocked me back and forth, my crying kind of stopping, tears was still running down my face, sniffling quietly, "let's get something in that stomach, hmm?" he looked at the guys, leaving the room, everyone quickly following us.

"Cosa faremo con suo padre?", (what will we do about her father), Vince said, fucking Italians, "Faremo in modo che chiuda quella fottuta bocca", (we'll make sure he will shut his fucking mouth), Xavier answered.

Nico sat down with me on his lap, Xavier standing next to us, "hey sweetheart", he grabbed my chin, lifting my head up, kissing my forehead, "what do you want to eat, amore mio", I looked at Giovanni, shrugging my shoulders, burying my head in Nico's neck, "shh, principessa, it's okay", he ran his fingers through my hair, kind of massaging my scalp, pecking my nose.

"There you go, my love", Giovanni placed a plate in front of us, whining as Nico turning me around, Xavier wiping my cheeks, "w-what is that", I stared at the dish in front of me, Giovanni sticking up some on the fork, "try it my love", he placed it against my lips, frowning, "come on", I slowly opened my mouth, making him place it inside my mouth, "it's my mother's recipe, it's gnocchi, I'm pretty sure you know what it is", okay, wow, he's a good cook, "you like it?", I nodded slowly, trying to take the fork from him, "ah-ah".
