'Come here muffin ! Let me brush your hair .' I said to Ameila who's currently watching T.V.
She giggled at the nickname I gave her as she quickly came and sat on the floor under me as I was sitting on our old sofa .I started brushing her hair as she watched the T.V, my thoughts went back to the accident with Dominic two weeks ago, I had told mom about what happened but she said that everything will be fine , at least I'll hope so .
Mom has always been loving toward us , she raised us alone , my father started travelling around the world since I was 11 year old , with his group of friends doing god-knows-what , we only see him every once in a while , at first I was angry at him , but you can't stay angry at your own father forever, and mom always told me that anger will only affect me , it will creat a flame of fire that will only burn my heart .
So I learned to let go of angry, I also relized that he's my own blood and I will always love him no matter what , because I know he loves me too , and I'm sure he has his reasons .Although there is only one person I failed at letting go of my Hatred toward him .
'All done baby ' I said as I finshed braiding Ameila's hair .
'She stood up and ran to look at the mirror, when she came back she said 'Mommy thank you it beautiful! '
I laughed as I said 'anything for my littel princess ''I'm not a princess ... princesses wear tiaras '
' first of all , not all princesses wear tiaras , and secondly one day I'm gonna get you a tiara '
She attacked me with a huge , kissing my check ' your right Mommy , you don't wear a tiara but your the prettiest princess ever !! '
We both laughed as I tickled her , but we stoped when we heard someone knocking the door .
'It's almost 10 pm who would visit us at this time ' I murmured annoyed .' It's probably Sophia, last time she visited me at 10:30 when you had a night shift , to tell me about that party she went to , and how " only fancy and high class people are allowed " '
I laughed as I went to open the door , but my laugh stoped immediately as I opened the door , the smile in my face was replaced but horror and shock . Never in my life have I expected him to stand at my door at this time .
Dominic was giving me the darkest looks I've ever seen , there was fire in his eyes, they wear burning with flames yet the rest of his face was as cold as ice .
Rickard , I recall his name , was giving me a weak apologetic smile .
' sorry to disturb at this time but-'
His voice snapped me from my frozen status , and I did the only thing that came to my mind.I tried to close the door .
But Dominic's foot stoped me from doing so , he started pushing the door , and obviously he's stronger than I am .
Pushing the door open he said'I wouldn't advice you to close the door on my face '
I immediately said ' I'll call the police I'd you don't leave now !!'
Richard smiled at me and said ' listen madeline, we just wanna talk , okay ?
You don't know Dominic but if he wants you to talk to him you will do it sooner or later, trust me he will find a way , so let's just get it over with , please. '' what are you ? His loyer ?and ... how do you know my name ?'
I felt mom's present behind me , I know mom heard what they said because she placed a hand on my shoulder and squeezed it gently for confort.
' how long will this talk last ?' She asked .
' not long' Richard answered.
'Okay but if she doesn't like what you're going to say , you'll have to leave immediately'.
Mom narrowed her eyes at them before she moved to the side allowing them to inter'
They followed her as she lead them to the living room , i almost laughed at their face expressions , Richard seemed amused , as if he entered a museum or something, while Dominic had a disgusted expression but soon to be replaced by the clod face .When we reached the living room , Ameila was sitting the floor , still watching T.v , but when Dominic's eye landed on her fire rage through them , and in that moment I knew .
I know what they wanna talk about .
I know that he knew .
'Ameila darling, go show Adrian your beautiful drawing '
'Okay' she said as she jumped from the floor with excitement and ran to Adrian's room .
'Why did you not tell me ?' Dominic's voice cut through the silence in the air.
'Excuse me? ' I know what he meant but I still asked anyways .
'Don't play dump with me miss collins , you know what I meant !'
'Hhh i was drunk , and it a one night stand , I don't even remember your face' I lied .
'Listen , I am not stupid , I saw the look you gave me when we meet 2 weeks ago '
I stayed silent . I didn't know what to say anyways .
After a long silence between us , Richard cleared this throat , and said' Umm after that night Dominic asked me to do a full research about you , because he believed that he saw you before, and .. Err .. after the medical research about your daughter, found out that your child's DNA matches Dominic's '
' I'm sorry but you have no right to search in my daughter's medical files !' I angrily snapped at them .
' and you have no right to hide the fact that I have a fucking child !' Dominic said , his face seemed cold but his voice said otherwise.
'I didn't even know your name ! How do you expect me to find you in that big city ! Huh ? And what difference would have that made anyways ? You didn't even seem excited to see her for God's shake ! Do you even care that you have a child ? Or your just angry because you found out that someone can hide something from you ?!!'
' calm down maddy ' mom said as she forced Me to sit on the sofa .
Dominic took a deep breath and said
'I'm gonna lose my dignity and my social place if someone found out that I have a child from a girl like you .
So I've made my decision.
You and her will come with me and live In my house until I sort out somethings '
