EMILYS POV
I woke up to the sound of Nolan arguing with my father, I opened my eyes and sighed. Since my dad had reemerged, there had been a bit of tension of tension between them. The only reason they cross paths is because of me now. Nolan is angry because he has refused to tell us where he'd been for over a decade. I just learned to live with it, I'd lost my father once and I was t going to do it again. The fact that he was alive was all that anyone could talk about until I said I was Amanda Clarke, now that was the biggest news. Nolan saw I was looking at them and pushed past David.

"Em!" He walked over and hugged me, "I'm sorry it took so long to get here, your reveal has made it hard to leave the house. So how's mini you?" He asked with a smile. I pointed to where Laura was sleeping in the room, she was allowed to be in here every few hours. Daniel was out doing something and my Dad was there to keep the press away.
"Em she's gorgeous!" He beamed
"She has more of Daniel in her than me." I said looking at them both, "Nolan could I ask a favour?"
He laughed and then saw my expression was serious and slightly anxious, "What do you need?"
"I-I need you to follow Daniel, I don't know what's wrong but before I had Laura he said he couldn't love me, he told me to forget about it but it keeps coming back to me" I said quite nervously.
"Yeah of course. I'll get onto it right away. You just stay here and rest." He kissed my cheek and walked out avoiding eye contact with David.

My father walked in, "The press are pushing for an interview." He said
"You know I can't without Daniel" I pleaded.
He looked down the hall and saw reporters and photographers coming down to my room, "You might have to."
"Did you agree for me to have an interview?" I asked angrily.
He shook his head, "Daniel did."

DANIELS POV
I was packing up my things from the apartment we had in Chicago, Emily would be furious at me now because I sent the reporters in. I needed her to be busy so no one could find me. I wanted to take the private jet back to the Hamptons but with the press, Emily would need it more. I walked outside with my bags and went to the airport and booked a flight back home, I wouldn't be there for long. Just long enough to get some things from the house and then I would be off again.

EMILYS POV
"And where is Mr Grayson now?" The reporter asked me.
"That's a very good question. I'm not sure." Id had enough, "Get out! Leave me and my children alone. I didn't agree to this!" I yelled.
David pushed them back and I broke down crying, "I want to find Daniel and I want to find him now." I wiped away the tears.
As if on cue, Nolan called me "Give me some good news, where is he?"
"Emily, Daniel just booked a flight back to the Hamptons, then he booked one from there to the Maldives, the UK and Australia. He's going into hiding in one of those three places or maybe it's just a divert and he's taking a bus somewhere. Then he destroyed his cell phone. Em, he's gone." He said with a sadness in his tone.

I hung up and Charlie looked at me expectantly from the chair next to my bed, the one where Daniel had been sitting just a few hours earlier. My husband had left me with our two children and didn't tell me why. How was I supposed to explain that to them? How was I supposed to understand myself?

I pulled Charlie from the chair onto the bed and he knew I was about to cry so he hugged me, "It's okay, mummy don't cry"
