On My Way To The Love Of My Life

Chapter 24

"Are you going with him" Tony asked like I had a choice "This is the only way I can assure my daughter is okay" I tell him. He hugs me and once again he was my shield my rock, my friend. "Take care of yourself Ava" I cry into his chest realizing that I brought this upon myself. "You too Tony" I make my way to the street where the black range rover was waiting. I placed my bags into the trunk and got inside "Where are we going? " I ask the driver to which he flat out replied "The airport" was he going to take us to? No he wouldn't that's low even for him we arrived at the airport. "Mommy!" Natalie yelled giving me a hug "Daddy bought ice cweam and said he's taking me ND you home but I asked him where then he said weird word mommy." I look at her "What did he say Rose" She thinks before answering "Switcheloo mommy" I grabbed her and gave her a tight hug "His waiting for you"the man in black said. I pick up Natalie and got in the jet. "Sooo daddy,play game I'm bowed" she went to go sit on his lap. "How about I whisper something into your ear and you whisper it into your mother's ear and she says it out loud " Ohh I like this game" Natalie claps her hands. He whispers something into her ear and she looks at him "Is this twue" he nods and she walks over to me to whisper it into my ear "Daddy and mommy get big mawwied in Switseloo" I look at hin "no" I whisper. Natalie walks over to Nick "I pwomise that's what daddy say, tell mommy" tears started forming in my eyes. " Why would you do this" he takes Natalie to the bed and throws the blanket over her then he made his way next to me his hand on my thigh he whispers " You'll be marrying me and changing my daughters surname, by marrying you it would make my case stronger in the court because we would be both have equal rights on her" I shiver. " You're hurting me "I whisper his grip around my thigh tightens. He continues "and I plan on inviting everyone and after our wedding I'm making your life a living hell. You took something that wasn't yours to take and I'll make you pay for it. " He let's me go and went to go sit on his previous spot unable to control my tears I let it all out"
We went to his mansion it was next to a river with a lot of trees. He left America to live alone here. It doesn't make sense. Natalie was still sleeping and I held onto her. When the door opened there was a woman welcoming me. Showing me where was Natalie's room and mine. I was grateful when it was next to each other. "Where's Nick?" I ask the lady worried about what he will do next. "He went out, he'll be back by tonight"

Nick's Pov

I was furious with her, how dare she deprive me of being a father. I'll make her pay for this. My lawyer advised me to get married. Marriage would mean that I legally had a right over Natalie. I'll torture her for a year and then take it to court, the judge must believe that our marriage was real
"Matt, call all my friends across the world and invite them to my wedding" he looked at me shocked "And while you're at it get decoraters to decorate my backyard" I say flat. "As you wish sir" I put on my coat and went to the jeweller picking out a ring for both Ava and myself. That would be the icing on the cake. After buying the ring I went home. "Daddy" I hear Natalie scream and a smile creeps up my face "Princess, you're awake" she puts her hand on my mouth "Actuuuually I was awake long time but mommy fell sleep next to me i had to escape" I nod my head telling her to go to Maya, my housekeeper. As soon as they were making dinner I made my way up to Natalie's room where Ava was fast asleep. "What type of mother are you" my voice was loud just enough for her to hear, she got up and looked to the empty bed. "She's already gone" as if remembering where she was she starts crying again "You will not be sleeping with Ava" I announce and take out the ring, grabbing her finger and putting it on her." Our wedding is in three days" she looked defeated and weak. I've found a liking in that I went downstairs to Natalie sitting on the kitchen table "Daddy I hope you didn't wake mommy" she looks at me sternly I study her features carefully. She had her mother's hair colour but my texture, my eyes and her mother's nose with light freckles "Maya make sure she eats then bring her upstairs" I got up before leaving I saw that she was mocking me. "That is not the way to ask something daddy, say pwease" I look at her she is naive just like her mother "Please Maya. " I walk towards the bedroom and see that Natalie's bed was made. I went to the bedroom next door to see that she sat on the floor crying "Get up and wipe your eyes my daughter will be here any minute."

The days went by fast and before I knew it. My backyard was decorated with flowers. Ava slept on the couch which was satisfying. Every opportunity I got. I insulted her, but she kept quiet not fighting back. I needed a reaction from her. I needed her to feel the same amount of pain she caused me by hiding my daughter from me. The priest said we should practice our vows but I explained that, that would be unnecessary. I knew exactly what I was going to say to her. Maya helped Ava get ready and when she was coming down the aisle the guests drooled . She wore a off the shoulder mermaid dress that showed her curves perfectly and she wore a vail. I can't believe that after all these years, after everything she has done to me I'm still in love with her. A tear wanted to escape my eye but didn't, remembering exactly what she's done to me. "You can now exchange your vows" the priest looked at her "Ava" he repeats her name and she suddenly looks up to me she softly begins "You're a firefly on a dark night. Fighting your demons and mine. You are the long warrior alone on the battlefield with hearts as dangerous as landmines. You're a soldier a mountaineer a poet who doesn't always have it easy with his words. You're the reason I have begun to believe that the sky is a place that actually exist. It is a magic carpet hanging down the sky, the ring surrounding Saturn is actually its long lost lover giving him a hug. You're my longest hug, my softest kiss and most meaningful star" the audience had tears in their eyes and I had second doubts about what I was about to do. "I can't wait to have one more kiss, I'll find closure on your lips.Maybe also one more breakfast one more lunch and one more dinner " before I could finish she started crying. I had stabbed her heart repeatedly by making my vows the letter she wrote to leave me."Look how emotional my bride gets"and everyone started laughing.Natalie went to her mother tapping here" Mommy are you okay? "She bend down and kissed our daughter telling her to go sit down. The priest went on with the formalities "By the power vested in me I know pronounce you husband and wife, you may now kiss your bride" She looked at me as if begging me not do it. I grabbed her waist and kissed her hard, making sure to hurt her. Everyone clapped hands and we were off to the reception. I made sure not to leave her side this entire time when people came to congratulate us. "Ava" I hear Leila squeel. Ava wanted to step forward but my grip tightened. "Congratulations you guys! You never told us you got back together" She tried smiling but I could see right through it "It actually started on your wedding day" I tell her but she was focused on her best friend who wasn't making eye contact with her. "Please excuse us and enjoy the party" I show her towards the house. She went into the bathroom and locked the door. After what seemed like 30 minutes I knock on the door. She opens and her eyes were red. She took off the jewelery and make up. "I can't reach the zip" she whispers and I walk in. I stand behind her and started unzipping her as slow as possible I wanted her to feel my touch. When there was a knock on the door. I went to go look who it is to see my princess already in pajamas "Where's mommy" she walks in without even greeting me "She's in the bathroom busy undressing herself" I tell her and she gives me her teddy "She's hungwy, don't come in okay" I look at her bossing me around telling me not to go inside the bathroom. How does she think we made her. I went to go eavesdrop on their conversation when I heard Natalie "Mommy you cwying did daddy say bad word to make you cwy" I stay silent waiting for her reply "No my Rose I'm just not feeling well, did you eat? What's wrong why are you here" I hear something moving "Do you miss uncle Tony ma. " Anger overflowed me "Yes sweetheart. " What was her relationship with Tony? If he was only her assistant why does she miss him. She's with me. "Me too mommy" I put the teddy on the bed and went out....
