Chapter 18
The following morning. I felt like shit. After I woke up from the fidiculous dream I had about Darius, I couldn’t sleep back. I was too spent to sleep. Mentally, I was messed up. My feelings were swinging between hatred and knocking on Darius’ door to get it done once and for all. If I maybe sleep with him, I wouldn’t have to deal with dreaming about fucking him but at the same time, I would rather cut off my hand than sleep with someone who broke me that way.
“Slept well?” Darius asked. He was standing by the door in Reina room, I was getting her ready so we could leave and have breakfast at my mom’s place. Because of what happened the previous morning, I decided to stay out of his kitchen.
I glared at him. “I did and you?” Reina was in the toilet, I couldn’t afford her listening to me cursing out her Uncle Darius.
“From the look on your face. I’m so sure you didn’t sleep a wink Missed me?”
“Yeah, I gave him a soft smile before I continued. “Missed smothering you in your sleep.”
He smirked. “Feisty as always. Love that about you,”
I was too tired to even give him a second mind. I was waiting for Reina to be done so we could leave.
“Mornin Uncle D.” Reina sang happily as she walked out of the bathroom, a large smile on her face as she saw Darius.

“I give Uncle D a big hug too, mama,” Although my heart betrayed me by softening at the lovely sight of the two of them, still had to hide it.
“Yeah, good for him,” I rolled my eyes at him before she could withdraw from him and quickly looked away.
“Where are you off to this morning looking all good. Ree?”
I
Ree? Really? That’s all he could come up with. I mean it sounds cool but shouldn’t he put more effort into a nickname rather than settling for a very easy one?
“Grandma’s house for breakfast before going to Uncle Charles… Before she could finish her words, I pulled her cl covered her mouth with kisses.
“Let’s get ready baby. We shouldn’t keep Grandma waiting.” She nodded.
“Can I pick my shoe?”
“Sure, baby” She was getting so independent I was getting worried. These days, she wants to select her dresses herself and pair them with shoes, ribbons, or caps to go with them. The fun fact is that she never misses.
“I should’ve sent someone but I decided to come here myself. I came to invite you guys for breakfast,” Daritis interrupted my thoughts. I turned to him.
“Thank you for the offer but no. Maybe some other times,”Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
I suggested even though that other time might not exist soon.
“I want to give you a chance to apologize to Daisy about yesterday,”
I stared at him in disbelief. He didn’t mean what he just said right? “Apologize for what exactly?”
“She’s Reina’s nanny, you guys have to be cool with each other,”

I folded my arms over my chest. “You know what, I want her fire as Reina’s nanny. I don’t like her and since I’m Reina’s mom, I don’t want anyone I’m not cool with around my daughter
He stared at me longer than I thought. “I’m not firing her. Apologize and let us move on from what happened yesterday.”
“Got a soft spot for the girl? Good for you but don’t drag me into whatever bu*ls*it you and her have going on,” I made my point known.
Reina appeared from her closet with a new shoe that was just ripped out of the box. “Here mama,”
“Good girl, so proud of you darling. I collected the shoes from her and helped her wear them..
“Ree, do you wanna have breakfast with Uncle D?”
My eyes flew up to his as I found it hard to believe he just did that. I already told him no and he had to ask Reina, Reina turned to me and I gave her a smile. “No. Grandma promised to build a princess castle with me today. Sorry!” She apologized with the cutest face ever. My heart was torn when she actually said sorry.
As soon as she wore her shoe, she dashed out of the room, calling for me to follow her. I don’t know where she got her energy from so early in the morning but I’m so sure I can’t keep up with it.
“You shouldn’t have done that,” I called him out once Reina was out of hearing distance.
“You shouldn’t have said no to my offer,”
“Which one? Breakfast or refusing to apologize?”
“Both! Why don’t you trust me, Nibbles?”
“Because you don’t trust me. I told you I didn’t do it and you didn’t believe me,”
“For the past five years that I didn’t see you, I’ve known Daisy and I know she wouldn’t lie about things like that,”
I couldn’t believe I was standing there listening to him saying all those words to me. It was unbelievable. He just told me he was so sure I lied and Daisy didn’t. I get it, I wouldn’t trust a word that comes out of his mouth as well anyw
“Which means, I changed into a horrible person and a dead liar in five years. You do have a point because know you anymore either. Why don’t you let me and Reina go while you start a new family with Daisy? Al with the st*pid sexual expressions you’ve been using with me? You shouldn’t f*ck a liar now, should you?”
I said all in one breath, rendering him speechless.
He grabbed hold of my hand and pulled me closer to him. “You don’t get to tell me what I’m supposed to do y
“And you don’t have the right to command me to apologize for something I didn’t do,”
“If you want me to believe you, fine! I’ll believe you didn’t do it,”
I threw my head back and laughed. “I would never want you to believe me and I would never try to make you see sen over my dead body would I apologize to Daisy,”
“Fine. Don’t apologize but the moment I see you near Charles, you’ll regret you didn’t apologize,”
“What’s
it’s the worst thing you can do?”
He dropped my hand, smirked, and moved away. “You will find out. My Angel, soon”
