I'm Still Here: Sequel For 'Step Daddy No'

Chapter 54

My eyes widen after remembering Raymond Sinclair. But after remembering how he tried to frame me for molesting Akeilia, I snapped out of my surprised state.

Dad looked away and pushed his hands into his pockets.

"He was supposed to be my friend. Even if he didn't consider me a friend, he shouldn't have messed with you". The look on his face showed that he's deep in thought.

"I heard of him having a son that wasn't of his wife, but no one knew for sure. It got out from someone at the hospital. If I'd known that he truly had one I would've dealt with the situation differently". I walked up to him and lay a hand on his shoulder.

"Dad". I don't want him to drown himself in regret.

"At that time I only cared about you and Akeilia's safety. I would get rid of anyone who tried to hurt both of you".

"Dad".

"I thought to get rid of anyone who tried to harm you, both of you. So that they wouldn't be able to do it again".

"Dad!" I said a little louder this time. He look at my hand on his shoulder before turning around. I appreciate his love for me.

"His son isn't any better than he was. Even if you hadn't killed him it's obvious that he wouldn't have brought up his son any better". I probably should be scolding him right now, but I can't blame him. At that time everyone was devastated. Wanted everything to be over.

"I couldn't allow what happened to Anny happened to you. I did what I did to protect you, and Akeilia. I'm not setting a good example. Killing people isn't always the answer. Sometimes it worsen the situation even if it's not immediately. I'm sorry son". I pulled him into a hug.

"Don't be like me Michael". I'm sorry to disappoint you dad, but I'm exactly like you.

"What happened? I asked uncle N but he said that you'll tell me". My confused wife whispered.

I'm now dancing with my wife once again. Her arms around my neck. Her face rested on my chest and my arms around her waist. The moment I walked back in, my wife stand and walked up to me. Immediately the music started playing.

Dad went to sit beside Mother.

I'm not gonna lie to her, but I don't want her to be stressed out. I'm just gonna put it the best way I can.

"They found one of the person who shot at us". I feel her tense. Her beautiful bright eyes look up at me widely. I can feel her getting nervous by the way her chest is moving.

"One. of them?" I see fear in her eyes. She doesn't know that Raymond Sinclair was the one who helped John to frame me. She thought it was all John's doing. I won't tell her any of this. Not now at least. I don't want her to stress about anything in this condition.

"Yes. But they are going to find the others don't worry". I stroke her cheek smiling. I can see that my reply didn't calm her one bit.

"How do they know that it's the right guy? How did they even find him?" Couldn't the detective wait until tomorrow? We were suppose to have the best night we hadn't have in years tonight.

I cup her cheeks.

"I will tell you everything tomorrow love. Do you trust me?" She swallowed. She nod doubtfully.

"Don't you trust me to protect you?" I frown.

"It's not that I don't trust you Michael. I do". She sigh shakily looking up at me.

"I'm just scared". She uttered. I sigh, about to say something but she cut me off.

"I mean, I'm having two babies. Two. I don't wanna lose them. Too much is going on Michael. Too much had happened. I'm afraid I'll lose them. I'm afraid I'll lose you. I-I'm tired of this babe". I kissed the top of her head.
