Harry's POV

Oh, fuck.

Ariana's eyes widened in surprise before she shook her head quickly, her lips unable to form coherent sentences. Her eyebrows furrowed in disbelief before her mouth opened, but closing again. I watched her intently, biting my lip, and evaluating her reaction.

"That's not true," she finally managed to say, crossing her arms and swaying back and forth lightly. She was nervous. "You're lying to me."

"No, baby, I am not." I sighed loudly, walking to my living room. She followed quickly after, watching as I sat down on the couch. She mimicked my actions, but she sat as far away as possible from me. A frown etched itself onto my face.

"It isn't real, you're lying to me." She repeated, trying to convince herself that. I scooted closer to her and wrapped my arms around her shaking body, tugging her close. She tried to push me away, and it was a waste of effort to be honest. After that realization, she began to relax against me.

"Do you want the whole story?" I asked rhetorically, rhetorically because I was definitely going to tell her the whole thing. She nodded and I took a deep breath, trying to calm my nerves. This wasn't going to end up very well, by the looks of it.

"Alright, so, your mother, isn't your mother, and she is going to --" I started, but she cut me off abruptly.

"What do you mean, she's not my mother?" She inquired, looking straight into my eyes. What a brave girl, she isn't submissive anymore.

She fucking lept on you, Harry. My subconscious laughed. I shook my head to get rid of the thought.

"She isn't your biological mother. I don't know how she isn't, but I'll find that out. Just for you, baby girl." I told her softly. She nodded again and scooted away from me, her eyes staring at the floor. I rolled my eyes. "I don't bite, come closer."

Much to my surprise, she did. She scooted closer to me and I grasped her waist, pulling her forward. Her eyes widened and her arms reached out to push me away before she thought better of it, letting her arms drop to the side. "Good girl," I commended. She needed to learn not to fight me.

My arm was around her frame, resting in her lap in a chaste way. She looked at me expectantly, waiting for me to continue. Her body was tense, so I rubbed her side in a soothing way. "What about Robert?" She inquired.

I was the one who tensed then. "I can't tell you that."

"I thought you said you'd tell me the whole story!" she whined angrily. I grimaced and swatted her side in a warning. "Harry!"

"Maybe I lied." I seethed, pressing my side against her. Whenever she was like this, all worked up and angry, it turned me on. Yes, that was wrong, but everything I did to her was wrong, and there was no going back now.

I felt a straining in my pants and I looked down to see a tent forming.

Fucking great.

"Harry-" She tried one more time, but I shut her up.

"Shut up!" I boomed. Her eyes widened in surprise and an emotion swirled in her eyes.

Was it fear?

It probably was.

Her breathing escalated and I panicked. She was getting into one of those panic attacks again. Oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck. "Baby, calm down-"

"No, please don't touch me, Harry! Liam already did, just leave me alone, just leave me alone, just leave me alone." She cried. I felt my eyes grow as wide as quarters and I stared at her. What?

"...Liam?" I finally said. I knew doing that to her would scar her, but I expected her to recover from it quickly. She could handle it, she's not fucking five.

Okay, now I'm just being an absolute dick.

Of course it would haunt her.

"Ignore what I said," she stuttered when she regained her composure. "Please."

"Who is Liam?" I asked her, thinking to her future tutor. "It isn't going to be my Liam, is it?"

"No, no, I don't think so. Don't be unreasonable, Harry." She breathed. "There's many more Liam's in this world, it's not him."

"Okay, good." I said in relief. "I think you should get some rest."

"But all I do is sleep all day." She pouted. I rolled my eyes and pointed upstairs. 

"I want you to sleep. Now." I demanded, causing her to roll her eyes at me.

What?

"Did you just roll your eyes at me?" I asked rhetorically, holding my hand behind my back to keep from spanking her. She hesitated before nodding fearfully. I rolled my eyes again. "You're so lucky I'm exhausted."

"Okay." She said simply before walking upstairs. Right before she reached the last step, the doorbell rang. I heard her stop but paid no mind to it, walking over to the door.

I put in my passcode, which was the same as the one in my old house in London. The door opened to reveal Liam, and my jaw dropped. He was here extraordinarily early. "Liam, mate. You're here.. really quick.. I guess."

"Yeah, can I meet this Ariana girl?" He asked, not acknowledging my words. I frowned and called out for her.

"Ariana!" I yelled, and instantly she was trampeding down the stairs and at my side. She was unusually obedient today.

When her eyes trailed up to meet Liam's, her face instantly paled.

Oh, fuck. 

No.

"Liam?" She whispered breathlessly, and my eyes darted to Liam. His eyes widened and he swallowed visibly before stepping slowly out the door. Oh, fuck. Fuck fuck fuck. "It's you?"

"It was a long time ago!" Liam blurted. I felt my face getting hot.

"I don't fucking care, oh my God!" she cried, collapsing to the floor. I caught her before she hit her head, holding her weak figure up.

"What the fuck is going on?" I exploded angrily, holding a sobbing girl in my arms. Liam swallowed again before he inched out even further.

"Listen, I really gotta go-"

"He touched me, he touched me, Harry!" She screamed, crushing the fabric of my shirt in her hands.

Oh, fuck.
