Chapter Twenty-Two

Raffael

~~~~

The sound of my phone ringing woke me up from my very deep sleep. I didn’t bother to check the caller ID before picking it up.

“Hello?”

“Raffael, are you just waking up?” Sam asked from the other end of the phone.

“What the hell man? Why are you calling me this early?”

“Get ready. I’m coming to pick you up. We have another meeting with them.”

“This early?”

“Yes, the client had a change of plans.”

“Okay, I’ll be ready in 40 minutes.” I hung up the phone and got out of bed to go get ready.

In under thirty minutes, I was ready and Sam showed up to come pick me up. We stopped by a coffee shop on our way there and got coffee and something to eat.

We got to the office building and went to the meeting room to meet with Mr Edison. We had the client with us this time and we looked over the contract again to change some things the client didn’t like.

After two hours, the meeting was done and we went downstairs. Mr Edison asked us to wait in the lobby for him aft

    Chapter Twenty-ThreeCamilla~~~~I couldn’t believe it was him standing in front of me. He was the man who Rory said could be her daddy. If only she knew. James came down and went to meet them. When he saw me he said. “Marie, where did you find her?” He came to meet me.“Rory, why’d you run off? Your mum was worried.” He asked.“I’m sorry.” She said pouting.“Come on, Marie. I want to introduce you to them. They’re the people from Dippers.”“I have work to do. I don’t want to meet them.”“Come on.” He said and dragged me along with him.“Mr Edwards, Mr Hicks, meet Marie Brown. She’s my partner.” He asked when we got to them.“Uhm. Nice to meet you.” I almost stammered. I recognized Sam, his best friend, although I hadn’t seen him in years.I extended my hand for a shake to both of them. Sam was first. Raffael held my hand a little bit longer than normal and his grip was tight. He finally let go.“Nice to meet you too.” They said in unison.“I’ll be going now, I have a lot of work to

I kept brainstorming ideas on how I would see her again. I slept off in the middle of thinking.When I woke up the next morning, I went to the gym that was in the hotel to work out. We were leaving for New York tomorrow and I was thinking of how I would see my daughter. I wanted to meet her and be introduced as her father. For now, she only knew me as a stranger.I finished my workout and went to freshen up. I called Sam and told him to call Mr Edison.

    Chapter Twenty-Six Raffael ~~~~ She went into the room and I followed behind her. Aurora was lying on the bed while the doctor was examining her. “What’s wrong with her?” She asked. “Are you the mother?” The doctor asked. “Yes.” “Luckily, it’s nothing too serious. Just a slight headache and fever. She should be better by tomorrow.” The doctor said. “She should be awake in a couple of hours. I’ll come back to check on her.” He left the room. She rushed to her side and sat down on the chair beside the bed. I stood at the side and watched her. She buried her head in sheets close to her. She stayed in that position for a few seconds then I heard sobbing. I went to her and saw that she was crying. “Hey, what’s wrong?” I asked. She raised her head and sniffed. She cleaned her tears with the back of her palm. “I’m a bad mum.” She said. “Why do you think that?” I asked. “I didn’t even notice my daughter was sick before I left the house. What kind of mother am I? I

Slowly but surely, I fell asleep.I woke up the next morning and went to prepare a bath for Rory.

I made breakfast came we ate. I called her teacher to let her know she wouldn’t be in school because she was sick. She was happy not to go to school because she wanted to go with me to pick up Pops and Skye from the airport.I gave her her medications and then she had a little nap.

Go back inside.” I said.“Then why are you yelling?”“Camilla, I think we should tell her now.” My grandpa said.“I don’t think it’s the right time. I’m not in the right state for this.”“Camilla.” I left and went into the bathroom. Everything Raffael said was true. Was I a bad mother for keeping her away from him?I didn’t know when I started crying. I was selfish. I wish I hadn’t run into him that day at the office. I wished had just stayed out of our lives.I thought about it and realized I was being selfish again. I didn’t want him in my life but what about Rory? She needed her dad in her life. Why was I depriving her of the one thing I didn’t have growing up? A dad.“Camilla, can I come in?” Skye asked knocking on the bathroom door.I didn’t reply but she came in anyway.“Oh, Camilla.” She said and wrapped her

It was exciting hearing the word daddy come out of her mouth even though I had heard it a million times from Jason.“Really? That’s nice.” Camilla said.“It’s in the car. I’ll go get it.” I said and stood up.“I’ll come with you.” Aurora said.“No, Rory. Let him go by himself.” Camilla said.She sat back down with a sad expression on her face. It’s like Camilla didn’t think she would be safe with me alone.“Wait for me. I’ll be back in two minutes.” I said and went out the door.I got to the car and I brought out the doll house from the back seat. I was contemplating bringing it with me and I decided to just put it in the car.I went back up and rang the doorbell and Camilla came and opened the door for me and I went inside.“Here you go.” I sai

I was thinking of changing schools for Rory but I just decided to let her continue going there. It’d be hard for her to adapt to a new environment.I spent almost all my time at work. I put in all the hours I’d taken off before. I met with Alexander one time and vented to him. He was a good friend, he reassured me and gave me words of encouragement to keep going. It was finally Friday and I was happy to spend the weekend in bed. I dropped Rory off at school and then went to work. I went to my office and got started on work. During my lunch break, I got a call from Alexander. “Hey. How are you doing?”“I’m fine. How are you?”“Good, good. How’s the new place?”“It’s alright. It’s a lot different than our old house and Rory’s a bit scared to sleep in her new room but she’ll come around.”“I know she will. Any ne

    Chapter Sixty-SixRaphael's POVI sat down on the couch in defeat. I’d mange’s to make Camilla angry at me again. Every time we wanted to talk, I somehow always said the wrong thing and pushed her further away from me.It wasn’t my intent to shame her for her decisions when she was younger or make her think Aurora was something to be hidden. I’d fucked up, once again.The chairman who had followed behind her returned to the living room.“She’s leaving, tonight. She’s packing already.”“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to say all those things to her.”“But you did. You can’t seem to let go of the past, can’t you? You always bring that up in every conversation you guys have. She’s already apologized for that countless times. Why do you have to keep punishing her? She’s already going through enough.”“I know. I'm sorry but she took those years of my life. I can never get that back. You had a hand in that too.”“You know, you could have refused the marriage. But you didn’t, because of your father

    Chapter Sixty-FiveCamilla’s POVI stormed out of the living room after I slapped Raphael. Normally I wouldn’t resort to violence but he riled me up so fast I didn’t know when I walked up to him and slapped him.How dare he? Shame me for being in love. And I thought we were already past that but if seemed we still had a lot to talk about.I went to my room and started packing up my things. I also went to Rory’s room to pack her bags. Whether he liked it or not, we were going to leave tonight.I didn’t know if I was angry with what he said because it was true or not. I wasn’t ashamed of my daughter, I could never be. I was only trying to protect her from the things I was exposed to. No child deserves to grow up under the limelight and scrutiny of the media. I was crying and I didn’t even know it. My eyes were clouded with tears and I could barely see. I sat down on the bed trying to calm myself down.I heard a knock on the door and I looked up to see a figure of my grandpa.“Are you o

They’re just kind enough not to put that out.”“She must be devastated.”“I know right? Have you talked to her? When was she thinking about going back?”“I don’t know. She hasn’t said anything. I’ll call her right now.” I said.“Ok, bro. I’ll get back to work. See you later.” He said and left. I went back to my office and picked up my phone to call her. It seemed her phone was switched off. Of course it would, it would be blowing up by now with messages and calls from random people.I went online to check for the news Sam talked about. It was kind of nasty.

I said bye to Jason and left the house. The driver was going to take him to school today.I went to the project site we were working on instead of the office.
