Roman & Scarlett (ON HOLD)

Chapter 32

For the first time in Roman life, he was nervous, anxious and excited all at the same time, he was on his way to meet his child for the first time in his life and he didn't know how to go about it but the joy of finally holding her or even being in the same room with her overwhelmed him.

He knew kidnapping his daughter was him drawing a battle line between him and Scarlet but he couldn't care less, she didn't have the right to hide his child from him in the first place, and with the new threats she had been posing he knew he had to take action to stop her.

"Where is she?" he asked when he got to the house where Sofia was kept.

"In her room sir," his Henchman Karim said.

"And I believe not a single strand of hair on her head was hurt?" Roman said.

"yes boss we brought her unharmed she came with us willingly" Karim said.

"she did?" Roman said.

"yes boss," Karim said.

"Make sure to guard the house no one is permitted in or out until I leave here" Roman said then went into the room Sofia was in.

"Hello," Roman said awkwardly to Sofia who was staring at him the minute he entered the room.

"Who are you?" Sofia asked.

The confidence she exuded as she stared at him confirmed without a doubt that she was his child, outside the striking resemblance between them her unfazed confidence was a replica of his, he chuckled and then made his way towards her.

"I asked a question sir, who are you?" Sofia said as he got closer to her, she had her mum's sharp tongue.

"you definitely got that sharp tongue from your mum, but this confidence is definitely from me" Roman said then squatted down to her level so they could look into each other's eyes.

"Are you implying that you are my father?" Sofia asked with a brow raised.

"Would you be happy if I was?" Roman said.

"I'll assume you are strong enough to fight my Gran and my mum since you kidnapped me, and if you are that powerful I won't be disappointed if you were my father" Sofia said.

"Wow you sure are our offspring" Roman said amazed at what she said and how she spoke.

"I want to see my mum that's why I followed Karim when he came for me" Sofia said.

"how--how do you know his name?" Roman said stuttering a little.

"I heard it from Alex I saw them before they came for me, I was born into a dangerous world the least I can do is be smart and strong enough" Sofia said.

"you don't need to be strong because I am here to protect you" Roman said.

"That's if you can protect yourself from my mother and grandfather," Sofia said.

"sharp tongue I see" Roman said then stood up.

"for an eight-year-old, you do have one hell of a confidence and I like it, well I believe you don't know who your father is, so would you like to know who daddy truly is?" Roman said.

"Nine years old but I know mummy would claw your eyes out once she finds out you are the one who took me" Sofia said.

"what do you like doing Sofia?" Roman asked.

"Take me to Mum maybe then I'll want to get to know you" Sofia said.

"Can't do princess, your mum and I aren't on the best terms yet, and besides I want to spend time with you, you are almost nine and this is the first time I am laying my eyes on you......I just want to be with my child" Roman said.
