Facade

Chapter 11

Mia's pov

I honestly don't know how to classify my life since I found my brother. It's been four days since our reunion. Davis had apologized for separating me from my family and I had forgiven him. I'm sure you are wondering why I forgave him easily after everything he has done. Well I forgave him because he has realized his mistake and is trying to make amends. He is the reason I am with my brother today and I appreciate him for it. It takes a brave heart to stand up to Helen. Damian gave him some money to start afresh and he left after promising to keep in touch with me. I sure hope he doesn't go back to his old ways. Davis told Damian about Helen's plans to sell me to a brothel. You'd think after everything she has done, she'll finally let me have peace. Well let say Damian hasn't been taking it too well. He has moved us away from the hotel into a villa. You need to see this villa, it's simply amazing. As far as I'm concerned, it shouldn't be called a villa. It should be called a fucking mansion.
It has a beautiful pool that seems to call my name. Damian just laughed at my awestruck expression and walked into the villa leaving me to stare at his retreating back. I rolled my eyes at him and followed him into the villa.

Immediately we got to the villa, and Damian made a call. Few hours later, Eric came back with six huge men. Damian told me they were my bodyguards. Honestly, I freaked out after that. I tried begging, persuading, standing my ground, but none of them worked. He had made up his mind and now I have to go everywhere with six huge bozos.
Anyway right now, I'm waiting for Damian to come back from wherever he went to. I have an idea on what to do with Aiden and Karen. You think I forgot? No I didn't. My brain has been working overtime looking for juicy revenge.

Damian's pov

I let out the breath I've been holding. What I was about to do gave me great joy however I didn't know how to do it. I twirled my cell phone around my fingers. I think it's about time I tell my parents about Mia. They deserve to know their long lost daughter has been found. Mia needs to meet our parents too. From what Davis told me, she never got any maternal affection from that witch, Helen. My mum will give her all the love she needs. All I have to do is summon courage and dial the number. I smiled thinking about my parents reaction. Dad might just have a heart attack. As for mum, she'll definitely tackle Mia. The thoughts about my parents reaction gave me the courage I needed. I scrolled swiftly through my contacts and found the one I was looking for. Dad. I hit send and switched on the speaker mode. I waited while it rang. Nerves accosted me and I barely held myself from clicking on the end button. A familiar voice soon filtered through the speaker.
"Hello! Damian?" His voice sounded gruff as if I had woken him up from sleep. He sounded tired and old. Tears gathered my eyelids thinking about what my father went through when Mia first got missing. Sleepless nights, countless pacing, calling in of favours, everything. I smiled sadly grateful I will be able to bring him joy. I was a little sad it took me this long. My voice broke when I spoke
"Hey Dad" I replied. I heard him exhale as if he had been holding his breath.
"Hey son, you remember your old parents today. How are you" My dad replied. I could practically hear the smile on his voice. I rolled my eyes trying to imagine my parents old. Not possible. They were the most energetic couple I had ever met.
"Don't let mum hear you calling her old. She'll smack you" I replied. As far as my mom was concerned, old-age was just a state of mind. My dad laughed and replied
"Of course I won't let her hear. She's in the toilet." We burst out laughing. It felt good to joke around with my dad. It's been a while since we last spoke. I took a deep breath and said
"Dad I need you to get mum. There's something I need to tell you both"
I heard him shouting for my mum and tell her I wanted to speak to them.
"Okay son, she's here" I heard my dad say.
"Okay I want you both to sit down for what I'm about to say" I told them. It seems the right thing to do.
"You are trying to call us old right? Whatever. We are sitting" My mum's voice filtered through. I heard my dad laughing in the background. I thought about an easy way to tell them but nothing came to mind. So I just blurted it out.
"Mum, dad I found Amelia"
There was silence at the other end for a while. I heard clanking at the other end and assumed one of them must have dropped the phone. It's completely normal for them to be in shock. I was too. I still am in shock. I don't think I can get over it. The silence stretched on the minutes and I began to worry for their health.
"Mum? Dad? Are you still there?" I called out. I heard my dad clear his throat.
"Damian are you sure of what you're saying?" My dad asked, his voice trembling. I could hear my music sniffling in the background. I took a deep breath and replied confidence oozing from my every word.
"Yes dad I'm sure. She was staying with a foster couple. Eric was about to locate her in Canada. There's no faking it dad. She's our Amelia" I replied, my conviction could be heard clearly. I didn't bother telling him the gory details about her upbringing. Knowing dad, he'll fly into rage and who knows what he might do to Davis ? I promised Davis I'll him go free if he delivers my sister to me and he has done it. I won't break my end of the deal. I heard shuffling and my mum's voice filtered through
"Where is my daughter, Damian" Her voice was trembling. I didn't know what to say to comfort her so I settled for answering her immediately.
"She's staying at the villa with me mum"
My mum's voice filtered through. Her voice surprisingly strong.
"We are on our way"
The line went off. Hmm that went well.
