Added into Daddy’s Life novel Chapter 44

Michael's P.O.V.

I kept replaying what Mya said over and over in my head. That's him...that's master... it just couldn't be. I refused to believe it. Danny is a good person he wouldn't hurt a fly. I mean yeah he's a little intimidating but that's just an image. Everyone loves him once they get to know him. On the inside, he has a good heart. I know he does...

I cradled Mya in my arms as she continued to cry. I didn't know what to say or do. Daniel is not who she says he is. He's not.. I sighed, "Baby are you sure that's him? Maybe you looked at him too fast or something."

She quickly shook her head and scooted away from me. "N-No *sob* No no no....you don't understand....*sob* the-the whipping the yelling...the pain...*sob* it was him...it was all him.." by this time she was hyperventilating and shaking like mad. I stood up quickly and grabbed her pump. "Baby...please breathe...everything is fine." Tears began to stream down my eyes as my heartbeat sped up. Please be okay..

I took a deep breath to calm my nerves. I can't panic... I need to take care of her... I gently grabbed her chin and and lifted it so that she was looking into my eyes. "Baby look at daddy...breathe...calm down...good girl." I shook her pump and pressed it to her mouth. She breathed in and held in her breathe. "Breathe out baby" she slowly breathed out and closed her eyes.

"Daddy...I don't want to go downstairs...please make him leave...please.." I sighed and rubbed her back. More tears fell down my cheeks as I spoke softly. "Ok baby I'll go talk to him. Do you want me to tell GG to come up here to stay with you?" She buried her face into her chest and shook her head.

"Don't leave me daddy..."

I kissed her forehead. "Baby I need to go talk to him. Let me just go get GG." She shook her head again and whimpered. "Please don't daddy..I don't want her to see me like this." I frowned. "Why not princess?" She wiped her eyes with her fist and shrugged. "Can you get Harry instead?"

I nodded and stood to my feet. "Of course baby. I'll tell him right now."

I sighed and slowly walked out of the room. I made sure the door was close before I sank down on my knees. A quiet sob escaped my lips as tears soaked my cheeks. How...? How could he do this to her? What did she do to deserve so much misery?....my brother....out of all the people who could have hurt her why my brother?

I shook the thoughts from my head and wipped my eyes. I need to talk to him... I stood to my feet and slowly made my way down the steps. Laughter filled my ears as I entered the living room. Harry, Giselle and Danny were gathered on the couch laughing at the pictures Danny was showing them on his phone.

I took at deep breathe and cleared my throat. They all looked up and frowned when they saw my face. 

"What's the matter Mike?" Danny asked standing to his feet.

Anger and sadness filled my body causing more unwanted tears to fall. I balled my fists at my sides and looked over at Harry, completely ignoring Danny.

"U-Uh Harry Mya um....she needs you upstairs.." Harry looked at me with concern and then nodded slowly. "Um..yes sir." He turned to GG and kissed her cheek. "Wait here for me love. I'll be right back."

I sighed heavily and looked over at Giselle. She was staring at me with wide eyes. "Giselle honey wait right here for us ok? I just need to talk to Danny about something." She nodded watching me walk away, Daniel automatically following.

Daniel sighed and sat me on the bed. He sat beside and sighed. "Mike calm down..." I whimpered.

"Daniel why...? She's so amazing and so beautiful. She never does anything wrong and she's just....everything to me." I looked up at Dan but he wasn't looking at me. His eyes were focused on the ground. I continued, not being able to stop myself. "I love her Dan...I love her so much. She was the reason I didn't commit suicide that night. I picked her up from the auction house and everything just clicked. I wanted to live....I wanted to breathe...I wanted to keep going... when she first came, she was terrified but yet so sweet and so kind." I paused not knowing how else to explain my love for her.

I sighed rubbing my fingers through my hair. Tears kept streaming "Daniel. I just don't understand why. You and I are so close. We did everything together. I love you Dan. You're my brother...my flesh and blood. I don't know why I still love you, after finding out all of this...but I do....you hurt the love of my life Dan...why?"

I looked over at him and he also had tears in his eyes. "I don't know Mike. I have a craving for pain....crazy I know but what are you gonna do about it? That's how I am. I like seeing people in pain. But I can say one thing. I did love her. Call me crazy, call me insane but I loved her. I took care of her I made sure she had her asthma pump and I did breathing exercises with her. So I'm sorry, I don't know why I did it but I am truly sorry. Hearing you say how much you actually made me realize how wrong it was. I love you very much Michael, you my little brother. Just give me another chance to prove to you that I'm capable of fixing my mistakes. I'll make it up to you and Mya. I swear it."

I sighed for what seemed like the hundredth time today. Should I give him another chance...?
