Daddy's Little Angel novel Chapter 46

It's no surprise I couldn't sleep.

I had so many thoughts running through my mind, I'm at the brink of loosing it.

I know she has every right to be angry and to hates me. I deserve it. I was ready to face whatever she throws at me or I thought I was....

But it hurts...Having to hear her say those words as I watched her sad eyes and tear stained cheek hurts. It was like being stabed right to the heart.

More space? More time? I would give her the whole time and space the universe can offer if I didn't know what it interprets. Any more time and I'll be kissing what ever is left of our relationship good bye.

After an hour of tussing and turning without getting much sleep, I realized it was useless to even try so I decided to go to my study and do some work.

As soon as I step out of my room ,I see Angel making a move to go into hers.

"Love wait!" I called out on impulse. Not really having anything to say. I just wanted to ensure she was still here , I wanted to breathe the same air as her , Even if for a second, I wanted her close.

Seeing that she paid me no mind and made move to open her room door, I rush forward, placing my hand on hers that was on the door knob stopping her from opening the door.

For a moment, time stilled, as we stared at each other. But then she broke the silence.

"What is it with you grabbing me without my consent tonight!" She asked totally irritated.

This only makes me pull her close to me in a tight embrace.

"Let me go! Let me go you bastard!" She yelled trying to break free

"No. I won't be letting you go ever." I clarified.

Ahhhh!!! She screamed as she began to hit me frantically, crying at the same time.

"I hate you...I hate you so much." She said in between sobs as she continues to throw weak punches at me. I let her. Even if she wanted to put a knife to my throat, I'll let her. If that will calm her down.

After a while, she stopped sobing and strated twisting and turning to try and get free. "Let me go Dad" she said in a harsh tone.

"Baby please calm down. Don't hurt yourself. I just want to talk." I said with a tired sigh.

"I have nothing to say to you and you have nothing to say that I want to hear. So let me the fuck go.!" She replied.

"Love...don't do this. Don't be like this. Just hear me out please." I pleaded trying to get her to look at me and not away from me.

"Baby I have no excuse. I fucked up and you deserve better. But I just need you to know that though you work away from me, leave me behind and forget about me, I won't be able to do same even if I try. You've come to be the air I breathe Angel... I'll die without you."

"I don't know what to do. I feel like everytime we find our rhythm, something like this always happens.

I'll do anything to make things right again. If it takes aborting the baby, I would ask her to do so.,"

"Just please don't give me your cold shoulders and silent treatment anymore. Don't give up on us I beg you"

"I need you now more than ever. I know you're upset, frustrated that you can't let everyone know that you are mine and I'm yours. That you aren't allowed to get jealous openly and to confront Nora. I know it hurts to have to pretend to not be bothered and hurt by the news and you even have to put on a smile for Nora and join her in preparation for the baby that clearly is ruining everything. "

"From experience, you have to understand by now that, our love is bound to face numerous challenges far above that of regular couples, and the only way to come out on top is by sticking together. I'm willing to fight along side you and for you. I'm willing to fight the world and fate if necessary. I can only do all this if you are still willing to be by my side."

"I love you. I have always loved you. No other woman as ever consumed all of me like you do. Don't give Nora a chance to ruin what we've had to fight tooth and claw, sweat and blood to achieve. Please I beg you...." I said, kissing her forehead before finally letting go of her.

I didn't Know what I was expecting after all I said as all she did was take a deep breath as she moved away from me without making eyes contact .

Turning away from me, she finally said, " good night Dad" before entering her room, leaving me standing by myself with one question on my mind "what happens next.?"
