I Wish You Were Mine

CHAPTER #21

DESTINY'S POV :

Uhm Uhm....

Okay.... Comfort blanket? Check.

Laying in my bed in my favorite pjs ? Check.

Cozy room temperature? Check

Now... Let's process

This guy, I mean Ace the Great, literally destroyed the entire career of a woman, and let's not forget the fact that this woman in context is one of the richest in the city, like he literally demolished it, crumbled it to pieces because she made her daughter cry.

I mean if I think about it I wouldn't myself hesitate from bringing hell onto the people who ever harm my children, but his level was crazy. Like organizing an entire show to escalate her humiliation to a different level.

Like how about you go to her house and just be like - hey you messed with my child, I am going to destroy you and lets discuss it over a cup of coffee maybe? Or maybe just going to the police station straight and being like - here I found evidence against someone, you should detain them. But no, he had to put on a whole show about everything. 

Pretty toxic honestly.

Well, the good thing is Celeste can go back to school without anymore trouble. Like the root problem is solved so we will eventually see results.

Can we think about the elephant in the room.

Yeah, subconscious,  I am coming to the main point.

I am scared.

Because no matter what I keep telling others or myself, deep down I know that ever since I have known that he is not married anymore, my feelings have started to surface again. I know that it is not possible but that little delulu in me still wants to keep holding on to that wish – the wish for him to be mine.

I used to like him as that innocent boy with charming and sweet smile for everyone, but this new Ace rises different types of butterflies in me. Like the good ones, like the ones that happens with the female lead of my books when they see the guy checks all the boxes for being a ruthless cold hearted villian.

Too much delulu? Guilty! Yeah, sure kill me!

Should I just try again one more time? Maybe I have a shot. Maybe it ends as the biggest mistake, plus as the most humiliating rejection. Would it be worth the try?

Well, let me keep my delulu in me for now and sleep because i don't think me getting late to work tomorrow is going to bring any good in my life especially when I saw how extra my boss is when it comes to ruining other's lives and teaching them lessons.

Next morning

ACE'S POV 

"Baby... wake up! Its morning sunshine"

My baby slowly opens her eyes rubbing them slightly with the most beautiful smile on her face. Every time she smiles at me, it makes me want to freeze the time and lock that moment forever. All my daughter has always given me is immense amount of happiness which she does not even have any idea about. I will cherish it forever and ruin everything that comes in the way.

"Let's get you freshened up and fill your tummy"

She giggles and hugs me. I carry her to the bathroom make her brush her teeth, wash her face and brush her hair. Then I pick her and take her into my room where mary had already set our breakfast as I requested. I make her sit on my lap and start feeding her. Minutes after, she climbs down from my lap and runs to my closet.

She came back with her extra stash of colour books and pens in her hands. She keeps one almost in every corner of the house as if they are  an epi pen to an allergic reaction.

She came back and opened her book scrolling through pages choosing what cartoon to color next and I continue feeding her.

"Baby, daddy wants to talk to you about school"

A pale look is what I see on her face. She hasn't gone to school since the last two days after that incident and nobody has even asked her to do so. It was a sort of mini house vacation for her until I sort the matter and for her to take things off her brain.

 I think I  have started to understand her thoughts more ever since getting to know about the bullying and the reasons behind it.

And if I am guessing right, my baby is now scared of my reaction for missing school.

She does not want me to get mad.

"I will go today, daddy", she meekly replied looking at me as if trying to find any hints of anger or disappointment. Never in this lifetime of mine would that happen.

"Actually, I was wondering if we can skip school today and go out to play?"

I asked trying to be cute for her.

She thought about it for a while.

"Can we go get more purple pens please?"

I smiled and nodded
