Chapter Seventy one

All through the drive home, I felt unwavering anger that built inside of me. How could he say such a time just in favor of a monster that hurt his daughter, how could he be so cruel to me?

I wanted to break something, maybe it help calm me a bit down. Immediately I drove home, I ran up into the house with tears streaming down my eye I grab the family frame and flung it to the ground.

 "He wants to disown me right! He should go ahead! I grabbed the glass decoration on my table and flung it to the ground " mam! I heard Sunny's nanny called from the back. "Is everything alright" I fixed my gaze on the broken glass on the floor. "Yes, everything is okay! I ran up to my daughter's room she was still sleeping peacefully, I gather her in my arms and fought the urge not to weep.

"What will you like to give for dinner," I asked Sunny who was coloring her book with crayons. "I'll eat anything you prepare". " is that true" I eyed her making her give me one of her cutest smiles. "Mummy loves you so much" I peeked at her. "I know that" I laughed "Really?  " yes and I love you too". She stood up and hug my leg, It felt wonderful.

I'll just make simple food tonight I thought, immediately my phone rang, I reached out for it to check the caller but it was just a number. Who could this be, I glaze at it for something before flipping the answer button. "Hello, who is this".  "You still sound calm after all this" I felt my heart in my stomach as I heard his voice. "You son of a bitch!  " you can call me all you want but I'm taking my daughter no matter what" I looked down at my daughter before moving away from her not to overhaul at the conversation "she's not your daughter and that the last thing I'll allow you to do" he laughed huskily. "You're still the naive Becca all this while" he laughed again. "If I can come to her school and also get allowed into her classroom do you think taking her will be the problem, I'm just giving you a chance to hand her over to me willing before time runs out then they'll be no begging or talking but action". " you're monster Sam and I'm not letting you take my daughter away from me". "Your time is ticking Becca, it high time you make your decisions willing" with this the phone disconnected. I felt weak suddenly, it was as if the phone call drain away my strength, I slide to the floor and resting my head on my knees. "Mummy are you okay" I heard her tiny voice called I raised my head to see my daughter's gaze on me. I nodded and held her hand. "don't ever leave mummy". She shook her head. " I won't" then I watched her smile.  "Come, I stood up and took her hand in mine, I rush upstairs pack a few necessary cloth before grabbing my car keys. " mummy where are we going" Sunny ask watching as I rush around the house grabbing a few stuff. "I think we need a break" I smiled at her before taking her with me outside and locking the house.

I check the driveway carefully before entering into the car and driving off with Sunny, he'll be back here at any time and I don't want to take chances. I will fight for my daughter till the end, I looked sideways and saw Sunny already dozing off from the seat.

I drove faster not waiting to think about my decision, this was the best thing to do for now. I couldn't stand to start in the house knowing that he'll be back any moment to cause issues. I stop in front of the house that I thought staying in, for now, would be the best, I got out of the car moving to the other side to carry Sunny up.

Think! My mind screamed but I don't want to give myself a chance to do so, knowing that I'll change my mind any minute if I do so. I walked toward the front door hesitating for a while before knocking on the door, I shift from one foot to the other before I heard the door click open and I faced the man who had fought and stands by me in years "Becca! His face grew in surprise. " Andrew". "Are you alright? He moved close to check on Sunny and me. " it okay, we're fine". "Come in, he opened the door ajar and allowed us into his mansion. 

Even though we had known each other for years, I've never considered coming to his house. It was a thing I never allow myself to do because I know by doing so it will serve as a means to bring us closer to each other as would remind me of the past but now I don't care of the past, I just want to be close to the person I felt safer with.

"Did something happened" he carried Sunny gently away from my arms and laid her on the couch. I start looking at him without a word, my heart beats loudly in my chest, I just didn't know how to respond or what to say.

I pace for a while on the marble Floor, calming myself before turning to look at Andrew worried face "I'm scared" I breathe out he moved toward me and wrapped his arms around me  "it okay" he kisses the top of my hair   "he called me on the phone this evening and threaten to take Sunny away, I can't be able to live without my daughter by my side.

I have to do something, I won't allow him to succeed with his plan. I want to keep her safe away from him and his troubles please help me, please I sobbed into his arms.
