All my life If there was one thing I learnt from father was that family was the most important thing and always comes first.

And family always stay together.

I've never thought about having one...Never for once even gave it a damn thought but staring now at Gracie the thought wasn't as bad as I thought it would.Hell I want both of them with every fiber of my being.And I would have them , I noticed she's begin to drag herself off the bed.....She definitely wouldn't like the idea I have in mind but I wasn't giving her a choice, I have all the cards played atv my hands and she...she's got nothing.

She would never leave her daughter, she'd been so fierce when she'd asked me her whereabouts, like she couldn't live without her ...that was one point and and I was damn selfish enough to use that ...that was one it would also take nothing to haul her on my shoulders

"Pack a bag.."

I saw her little flinch as her widened gaze redirected back to me.

"Where are you taking me Hayden...where did you take my daughter..?."

Our daughter....I corrected silently , it was strange how I've quickly grew accustomed to the fact like it had always been meant to be.her eyes were now filled with fear as I approached her in quick steps.

I would never hurt our little girl, that was without a doubt, I don't want to hurt her either, all I just want was for her to stay with me...but I couldn't say that was a promise especially if she kept on wasting my time like this.

"We are going to be a family, I..You and OUR daughter " I spoke on a breath making more emphasis on the word OUR so she could begin to get used to that fact...that I was going to become a part of their lives from this moment on.

I saw her sharp in take of breath, The blood draining out of her flushed face turning them paper white, if she gets any more paler she would fucking going to pass out , from excitement I guess.

Then she busted out in tears , seconds later her shoulders shook uncontrollably as she continued sobbing into her palms.

For a moment I just stared at her confused as to what to do.My heart softened like melted ice at the sight of her tears.I reached out a hand but wasn't sure about what to do.

"Why are you doing this to me?" Her voice came out in muffled sobs .

I reached out to cradle her shoulders unsure of how to comfort her considering the fact that she was in this state because of me.

"Shh...don't cry I'm going to take you to our daughter " I whispered rocking her shoulders gently just like I had seen mom do with Jenny whenever she cried.

I would do anything for her to stop crying...Anything ..apart from letting her go which was what she obviously wanted.

I did that before and I almost didn't survive it..

She stared up at me touching her hand gently over my arms, my muscles flexed at the sudden contact, I didn't get time to enjoy the feel of her touch against my skin when she said the words that soiled my mood abruptly.

"Just let us go...We are living just perfectly..Hazel is happy but if you come..."

My heart hardened before she could even complete the words, I wasn't entirely angry....it was majorly something else..

Hurt.

It felt like a million pieces of needles straight to my heart.

She still didn't want anything to do with me..Always wanting to get away from me just like so many times in my dreams in the last six years.

Her gaze was desperate, she was begging to let them go.

Every softness I had felt vanished replaced by cold rage and hurt all I wanted now was to bend her over and punish her until she learns that she would only belong to me.

It must have reflected in my gaze and stance because she let's go of my arm and took a step backwards.

She was the only one capable of making me feel this way and now she was staring up at me with those wide eyes brimming with unshed tears

She wasn't the victim!

I'm equally as much as a victim as well.
