Oliver Parker's POV

" What present did you bring, Dan?" I say full of sarcasm.

Hannah looks at me nervously. She knows what I'm trying to do.
Just then, I see Pinky coming over to us.

" Hannah,"

"Oh, how are you sweetie?" She chimes as they engulf.

" I'm glad you came dear, I told Oliver and he couldn't believe it,"

" Oh," she says as they part.

" This is Dan," she say to Pinky.

Pinky perhaps seeing the frown in his eye does not mind to shake his hands, she just nod to him and he is an asshole enough to fake a smile.

" You told me you would come and talk about it right? You said you would forgive him if he apologize, right?" Pinky says and there's tension all over the room.

" Oh I thought she has a boyfriend, " I growl as I raise my brows to Dan.

" Yes, she's mine," he spat.

" What? did you give birth to her?"

" Don't you dare..." He pout as he grasp the cardigan I'm wearing about my breasts.

I push him away and he trip over the living table and even before he falls down on his back, I have collided my fist with his jaw.

I know I'm creating a scene but I don't care, this son of a bitch think he can came to my house to point fingers at me.

Besides, he look like an opium addict. His face is haggard as hell and when I look at Hannah she's afraid even to look straight at him.

Maybe he has filled her with intimidation.

He stands up and wipes the blood from his mouth using the hem of his T-shirt.

" We're leaving, " he says as he get hold of Hannah's hand.

I'm surprised when Hannah jerks it away.

" I don't want to," she chirps in fear.

" What? I said we are leaving bitch," he spat.

I move towards them.

I stand in front of him and between him and Hannah and fold my arms.

He want drama, right?

" You heard what she said," I growl.

"And what the hell do you think you are? Her Father?" He yell.

"That's right Daniel, and another word from you and I'll be your father too," I growl.

He stares at me and swallow a thick ball of saliva.

He then looks at Hannah menacingly and I want to beat the hell out of him again.

" You know what will happen," he say to her before leaving the room.

Hannah's POV

When I saw Oliver kissing that girl outside the Caribbean, I felt hurt. My heart literally pained. I didn't know what exactly I did to him to cause him do that. I felt that I was never enough for him.
All the promises he had made to me, especially during that date he'd asked me to be his girlfriend. He was down to his knees holding my arm. He kissed it in the moonlight.
My heart leaped. It was a surprise to me. It was only after my mothers demise and I was still grieving for her but his proposal had brought a quick recovery to the wound in my heart caused by her death.

She was the soul bread winner in the family since my father had died four years earlier. I had to drop out of highschool to work as a casual labourer at the airport so I could pay bills and feed my five years old younger sister, pay her school fees and take care of her generally.

Oliver had offered to put forth a business for me. I had so much tried to turn down his offer but he couldn't hear of it. I didn't want him to feel obliged about checking on our wellbeing.

He set up a restaurant and from it, we could get enough for ourselves and save some. I was able to resume school, sooner.

Only when things had gone too well and after I graduated, he cheated on me. In my eyes, in the morning sunshine.

"He took advantage of my poor status." I thought.

I felt pain all over my body.

I ignored his calls and I even closed the restaurant and shifted from where we lived.

I used the money from my saving to rent a room and it could keep us going before I could know what to do.

It that desperate state, Dan showed himself to me. At first, he was too nice to me and I had always returned that with a warm smile, just to encourage him. It was clear to me that Oliver and I could not get back together.
That's how I fell for Dan.

After a few weeks, I discovered the real him, a drunkard gangster. He once shot a police at a shootout before my eyes. He was the last being I would ever want to date. Soon, his face was recognized by the police and he turned all over in the news.

He was wanted.

Like one with a certain brain disorder, he didn't seem to care about this.

A few days ago, I had coincidentally meet Pinky at a church square. I saw the clumsiness of my life and I had to go to pray.

She greeted me with a warm smile, it reminded me of Oliver's.

She'd told me about him. How he had regretted doing what he did. How he'd tried moving on but he couldn't,that he dedicated most of his time to writing instead.
That is when I decided that I could show up at his birthday. I thought there could be something left between us.

When I told Dan about it putting it as ' I want to attend my old friends birthday', he said he'd come with me. Just to keep an eye on me in case I collaborate with cops and set him up.

That's when he decided to give my poor sister to his fellow gangsters.

"If you fuck up with me, they will cut her head off," he had spat.

To make the matters worse, it has been two weeks since I missed my period and I've been experiencing nauseous condition in intervals and I have also these weird food cravings.

I don't know where to begin in telling Oliver all this.

That heartless devil will certainly kill my little sister, my poor little sister.

Oh, Helen. I will never forgive myself.

When he said, " you know what will happen," I knew exactly what he meant.

I'm a mess.
