My Stuttering Queen

Part 24

Zara Queens

Dominic was helping me get as much things as I can from the house. Ederi stayed with her aunt and her cousin. "You need to calm down, Zara, we don't need you having a panic attack on us." My brother told me. "You can't tell me to calm down! He's a mafia leader, at the snap of his fingers he could have her taken from me." She was my pride and joy, if I lost her, then life would be so meaningless. "I don't think that he would do something like that."

I turned and looked at him. "I'm sorry but we're talking about the same Theron that threw me out for his ex, right?" Dominic sighs putting things in his car. "I'm sorry." He told me and got in the car. "I'm sorry too, I didn't mean to be so rude." This was stressful. Heading to his home, Olivia looked at me. "I'm so sorry this is happening." She took my bag out my hand. "Mummy, what's going on?" Dominic looked at me then gave a nod. "You have to tell her."

Taking my daughter's hand, I took her to the kitchen. "Remember that guy, Theron?" She nods with a smile. "Yeah, he's really cool." A lump grew in my throat but I swallowed it back. "Well, he's your dad." Ederi looked at me then laughed. "That's funny, mummy." I took her tiny hands in mine. "Baby this is serious. Theron and mummy was together but it didn't work out very well." My daughter frowned. "But why was he crying then?" This was getting really hard. 

"I didn't tell him about you." She gasped at me then the door opened and in came Dominic with Issac. "What are you doing here?!" I grabbed my daughter and hid her behind me. "Relax, Zara, I'm not here to take her away from you, I promise." He sat down on the bed. "Get the hell out of here!" Dominic grabbed him and dragged him out but Isaac fought back. This doesn't seem right. Why wasn't he actually fighting back? "He's distracting you." Dominic stopped.

"I'm not distracting anyone!" He rolled his eyes then looks at me. "He just wants to talk, that it. He figured that you might be more calm with me than him." He looked at Ederi then me. "She looks exactly like him." My daughter held my leg firmly. "He wants to see you at the Upside down, you know the open restaurant? He says that you'll be comfortable there." Olivia held Piper in her arms. "When does he want to see me?" Issac shook his head. "Not just you, the both of you."

When Issac left, Dominic looked at me like I lost my mind. "I can't believe you did that, you actually agreed." He turned his back to me. "I had to, he wants to see his daughter. I won't deny him that." He laughed at me bitterly. "Are you sure that's the reason? Or you're still hung over this guy and you're using her to get him back." Okay that hurt me. "How could you say that to me. It has been more than five years, I got over him already, I took his daughter from him unfairly, it's the least I could do."

He turned to me and rolled his eyes. "We're talking about the same man that threw you out for his ex, right?" His eyes were cold, the way he spoke to me. "The same man that you were running from a couple hours ago, saying that he would take your daughter away from you, right?" I knew he was right. "But that's just me, do whatever you want but this time, I am promising you, I won't help you when things don't go your way."

It hurt that he said that but I knew where he was coming from. I'm doing the same things I did all those years ago. "Dominic, that's enough, the kids are right here." Olivia told him, taking Ederi and Piper out of the room. "Just do what you want, Zara." With that he left me alone. Should I really meet him tomorrow?

Issac Raids

"Okay, tell him I'll meet him tomorrow." With a short nod, I made my way home. Theron started blowing my phone up. "Calm down and talk." Was the first thing I told him when I answered. "Was she mad? Was she surprised?" He asked me. "Well she was annoyed at first. I spoke to her and her brother and they were a little skeptic but she agreed." There was silence. "She agreed? What about her brother, did he?" He sounded so nervous.

"You really want me to answer that?" Theron groaned. "I'd hate me too if I was him." He had a point there. I mean, the man broke up with the woman he loved and sent her back to her only living family member, pregnant then wants her back. "How are you going to get her back?" Silence on his end. "So you just told her to meet you and you have nothing planned?" Theron groaned once more. "I didn't know I would get this far."

"Listen, you need to think about this now. There's only so much bullshit one woman can take before she blows up." A sigh was his response. "You're right, you're right, thanks for being here for m-" I cut him off. "Don't go all soft on me now! But you're welcome." With that we hung up. Just then Draco called me. "What do you want?"

"My hit man was killed again! Why does this keep happening!" I smirked at him. "Well then just hire a new one." A string of curse words rang out. "Word got out, no one wants to work for the man that can't keep their employees alive." Just as planned. "So as we speak, you have no eyes on Zara?" He replied with no. "Well I guess you have to rely on luck this time." With that I hung up. Hitting a bump in the road, the man's dead body hit the trunk. "Good thing you're dead."
