DAMON’S POV

Just like Sharon had suggested, I took Hailey out. Not because she said it… but because it felt right.

I wanted her to see the world she had been denied for six years. To feel included, to feel like a normal child, to feel loved. And most importantly, to feel a father’s love she had never experienced.

“Come,” I said gently, stretching my hand toward her.

She hesitated for a second… then placed her tiny hand in mine.

We started at the amusement park. At first, she was quiet, observin

  • A Night with Mr. Stranger    CHAPTER 47: “Fights don't disappear, they leave cracks.”

    SHARON’S POVI stood there for a few seconds after Damon brushed past me, watching the empty space he left behind.“…Not now, Sharon.” I mimicked under my breath, rolling my eyes slightly.I wasn't deeply hurt the way he said it, but it was enough to annoy me.I folded my arms, leaning my weight to one side. “What’s his problem now? Huh?” I muttered.I exhaled, and dropped myself onto the couch, grabbing the remote. The TV was still on from earlier, some random show playing in the background.“Mennnnn…” I hissed quietly, switching channels until I found something worth watching.Within minutes, I was back to chewing on the chips I had left on the table, my attention half on the screen, half drifting.Whatever happened to him must have been serious. And Hailey that I could have asked… is mute.I saw as two guards brought into the living room and handed to a maid, everything Damon had bought for Hailey, in bags. And it was clear they went to a shopping mall, and an amusement park.“Then

    DAMON’S POVI didn’t say another word to Sophia. Because if I did, I wasn’t sure what would come out of my mouth.I walked straight to where Hailey stood, laughing silently with the other children. Her small hands moved excitedly as she tried to imitate the others.“Let’s go,” I muttered.The moment I bent down to carry her into my arms, she just looked at me. If she could talk, she would have asked “What happened?” But she just rested her head lightly against my shoulder.“Damon?” my mother’s voice called from behind, I did nothing but ignored it. “Damon, where are you going?” this time, it was firmer.Still, I kept walking.“Son, at least tell us what happened,” another voice added. It was Rose.Now I stopped. Not because I wanted to, but because something in their voices forced me to.Slowly, I turned.They were both standing there, confusion, concern, and worry were written all over their faces. “What happened?” my mother asked again, stepping closer. “Why are you leaving like th

  • A Night with Mr. Stranger    Chapter 45: “They’re my children, Damon.”

    DAMON'S POV “Mommy…?” The word didn’t just land, it hit hard. It felt like something had cracked open inside my chest.I didn’t realize I had stopped breathing until the boy tugged Sophia again. “Mommy, come na! The music is starting!” he insisted, bouncing on his feet, completely unaware of the storm he had just unleashed.Sophia just stood there, numb.She turned to him quickly, forcing a smile that didn’t quite sit right on her face. “Hayden…” she said softly, almost like a warning. “Go ahead, I’ll come.”But the boy shook his head stubbornly. “No. You promised!”The other one, Kayden, joined him, grabbing her other hand. “Mommy, please!”‘Mommy? Again?’This time, there was no mistake.‘Sophia is definitely their mother.’ I said to myself, tightening my fingers around the fork in my hand until it nearly bent. Sophia laughed nervously. “Go… go ahead first. I’ll join you in a minute, okay?”They hesitated at first, then finally ran off, dragging each other toward the dancing crowd

And most importantly, to feel a father’s love she had never experienced.“Come,” I said gently, stretching my hand toward her.She hesitated for a second… then placed her tiny hand in mine.We started at the amusement park. At first, she was quiet, observing everything like a child stepping into a new universe.We rode on horses, bumper cars, ferris wheel, roller coaster, and all. Her hands gripped mine tightly as the ride jerked forward.Her mouth opened wide. Even though there was no sound that came out, her expression was everything.Her silent scream showed how much she loved it there. Staring at her face, I knew it was the happiest thing I had seen in a long time.“You like it?” I asked after the ride.She nodded quickly, her eyes sparkling.

  • A Night with Mr. Stranger    Chapter 43: Let's get the party started

    Sophia's POV I saw Hayden and Kayden standing at the gate entrance immediately my cab came to a halt. My heart clenched.Poor boys…They probably didn’t want to risk missing my arrival. Maybe they were still afraid I wouldn’t come. Just like the times I failed to show up after they started school.“Come on,” I whispered to myself, blinking back sudden tears. “It’s your birthday. I wouldn’t miss it for anything in this world.”I stepped out of the cab, paid the driver after he helped me bring out the neatly wrapped gifts from the trunk.“Thank you, sir,” I said.“Thanks for your patronage, ma,” he replied with a smile before driving off.“Mom!!!” Their voices rang out at the same time as they ran toward me.I dropped the gifts and crouched immediately, pulling them into a tight embrace. So tight, as if I could make up for every moment I had been absent.“Mom didn’t miss us,” Hayden cried against my right shoulder.“That’s not true,” Kayden corrected gently. “She’s just busy with wo

  • A Night with Mr. Stranger    CHAPTER 42: MY Children Come First

    SOPHIA'S POVIt was finally happening.Hayden and Kayden were turning six today.To say I was elated that morning would have been an understatement.My heart felt light in a way it hadn’t in weeks. For once, everything else faded into the background.Mom had already prepared everything for the party, which made things easier for me. Still, as their mother, I couldn’t afford to be late.“Shit…” I muttered under my breath when it suddenly hit me.I hadn’t told Damon.I froze in the middle of the room, my thoughts spiraling.‘How do I explain this to him?How do I tell him I’m going to my children’s birthday party?’My chest tightened.‘What would his reaction even be?Would he feel betrayed? Confused?Or worse… indifferent?’“Should I just lie?” I whispered to myself.Since Sharon and Hailey came into the picture, Damon and I barely spoke. His attention revolved around his daughter now, and I couldn’t even blame him for that.“Oh… right,” I murmured, nodding slowly. “The orphanage.”I h
