Savage POV.
I stare into the honey coloured eyes of the little girl holding Angel’s hand. My heart stops and my knees weaken as she looks back at me. I feel the tears build in my eyes as she looks up at her mom and asks to be picked up. Angel smiles at her lovingly and picks her up, placing her on her hip.
My daughter. Shit, I have a daughter. I watch as she leans her little head against her mom’s shoulder, but doesn’t take her eyes off me. She is shy.
“Angel.” I choke out as she walks towards me. I keep my eyes on the little beauty as she watches me. I smile at her, but she hides her face away. My heart sinks. She doesn’t know who I am.
“Savage.” Her tone is anything but friendly. Not like how she used to call my name. No, that tone is long gone, and it’s my fault.
“Care for a drink?” she asks, and I shake my head as she moves to the bar and orders a soda. This is awkward. I catch my little girl peeking at me and I smile at her, but she hides again. I chuckle at her. Good girl, never speak to strangers. Even though I shouldn’t be a stranger to her but I am. That thought pierces my heart. She took my kid and had no intention of me ever knowing about her.
“Shall we sit down?” I nod my head as she walks past me to the booth and sits down. She places our daughter on her lap as the bar maid brings toys for her to play with.
“Thanks Coral. I will speak to you later on.” She says, dismissing her and we just look at each other. The atmosphere is palpable.
“What is her name?” I break the awkward stare off we are having. Angel bits her lip and looks at me.
“Rebel Carlotta Moretti. She has not long turned two years old.” She says, and I nod my head at her. I test her name on my togue Rebel. She looks up at her mom after hearing her name.
“Down.” she says and my soul leaves my body listening to her innocent little voice. Angel chuckles and kisses her on her head.
“Not right now, baby. Soon ok?” she says so softly to her and Rebel nods her little head and goes back to playing.
“So, how have you been?”
“I am not here to discuss pleasantries with you, Savage. How did you find out? I mean, I’m surprised you are even here.” She bites out. I shiver at the gaze coming from her.
“When you ran away, you mother and father called an emergency meeting. They knew you were pregnant and why you ran. They also had those pictures sent to them. I’m sorry I didn’t believe you, Angel.” She scoffs, looking away, shaking her head as she sucks on her teeth and I know I have a lot of grovelling to do.
“Yeah, well, why would you? It doesn’t matter now. What’s done is done. How’s your ole lady?” she asks, and I stiffen and shake my head. I have caused this damage and I need to fix it.
“I don’t have one. I rescinded my claim on her after I found her in a compromising position. She was never pregnant.” She rolls her eyes and stifles a laugh.
“No, really, shocking.” She says sarcastically as she drinks her soda.
“Look, I know, drop the attitude. You should have told me, but instead you ran away and kept her from me!” I snap at her, which causes her to place the glass down calmly, and I gulp as she watches me.
