Damien’s Baby

Damien stroked Lenè's curly hair, wrapping his fingers around her curls. She had a special privilege to sleep next to Damien, while the others sat in their seats starring at the both of them. "Why does she get to have everything?", Raya spoke. One of Damien's younger daughters, that he planned to marry off to a good Saudi man as she got older.

Raya stormed off to the slamming the bathroom door. Damien wasn't alarmed or interested in Raya's temper tantrum until Lenè left his arms.

"She started her period yesterday, I'm sorry Father, but that completely left my mind".

"It's okay, I'll deal with it, lay back down"Damien smiled.

She sat up and watched Damien handle Raya.

He knocked on the bathroom door "Raya, darling do you wanna talk about something?"

"No", she cried.

"Raya, it's now or never".

"You don't love me!"

"What makes you think I don't...?"

"Because I'm pretty sure you fuck eldest sister Lenè like she's one of your whores".

Damien lost his patience when he heard those words come out of her mouth seeing Lenè's reaction made him angrier.

He kicked down the door, causing Raya to scream. She looked at Damien's bright red face before he struck her. Something he never did before. She let out a blood curdling scream before she started sobbing uncontrollably running into Lenè's arms.

Lenè looked forgiving as soon as Raya cried to her. She pleaded with Damien's eyes.

Damien looked around the cabin, seeing the fear in his children's eyes. He smiled on the inside seeing the fear on their faces, the control he had over them made him feel as if he were the most powerful person on earth. But he had a frown on his face as he walked towards Lenè "Father, stop, please, your scaring me...a lot".

Damien now felt his heart drop, the power that washed over him immediately turned to sadness and disappointment. He ignored her even though he heard her and sat in his seat watching the clouds through the windows on the plane. Lenè stared at him a bit with confusion and sorrow. She held Raya to her chest and fell asleep away from him. Damien now felt hatred towards Raya, he wanted to get rid of her now. He smiled, and pretended to be like a forgiving Father, secretly loathing his young daughter.

After 6 hours on the flight, his private pilot spoke on the intercom "We have arrived Mr.Demayó , sorry to wake you".

Damien had been up all 6 hours, 3 hours thinking, and another 3 watching Lenè. The children were easily awake by the intercom. Raya woke up crying, Damien was now irritated. Lenè sung to her using a French lullaby Damien had only sung to her when she was a kid. Lenè stood up throwing Raya over her shoulder. Damien held his youngest son over his shoulders, his daughters walk behind him. He looked over at Lenè and apologized. Lenè nodded. Damien had a surprised look on his face judging from her demeanor, she had given Damien his first silent treatment.
