"I'm going to explain everything to you Mr. Spectre. Please be patient with me." I starts talking, however Miley's dad had an unimpressed look on his face.

"Okay,"

"Well you see.... back when Miley was in high school, before she met you... well... Miley and I... we had a relationship... we were together, for a small while. But in that time, we fell into something so deep I couldn't even understand at that moment. I know you may think I'm a pedophile or someone - but... but I just really was mesmerised by your daughter. After that, My wife Gillian, she found out about us and shit happened, I was confused and broke and I just — I just thought it would be best to let Miley go. Then we didn't talk and she moved away for college and we finally met at my anniversary event, where I realised that all that time I had something missing in me. And that was the feeling of love. And then I met her today again and .... I won't like to you, we thought of running away, but Miley is a very smart girl and she loves you so much that she can't run away from you."

I said in one go. I could feel myself get emotional again but I held back my tears.

"Wow... that's a LOT to take in. I-I could've never imagined any of this. I just can't believe she's in love with someone like you though Hemmings. She's my precious little girl... I can't give her to someone like you. You... you're way older."

"Age is just a number, Mr. Spectre. We love each other a lot."

He scoffed.

"If you can cheat once then how do I know you won't do it twice? Just like you got bored of your wife you can get bored of my daughter too!"

That felt like a slap in the face. I knew his insecurities. I knew where this was coming from. But how can I make him realise that I do love his daughter..?

"I'm sorry Harvey... but you gotta trust me on this one. We just need your blessings," I said.

His face changed to an angry one and I could feel him heating up.

"Blessings? YOU WANT MY BLESSINGS? To be with MY DAUGHTER? You're just a fucking good for nothing player! You're a useless asshole Hemmings! I knew I should've been more careful with you!"

He screamed and immediately threw his hands around my neck and pulled my collar.

"I didn't know you were such a scumbag Hemmings. Leave my daughter alone. Let her be happy for once!" He said pushing me against the wall

I winced in pain.

"But we can only be happy when we're together Harvey! Please understand!"

A loud slap echoed through the room and I felt my cheek burn. He slapped me right across the face, and I whispered in pain. I wasn't expecting him to abuse me like this. And I couldn't hit him back... I deserved it.

"Say that shit again and I won't hesitate to kill you, you son of a bitch!!!!" He yelled before slamming me against the wall again and rushing out of the room.

My back hurt and so did my face, but I had to go look for Miley ~ my Miley.

I stumbled out of my room and called out for her.

I heard little footsteps and there she was - walking towards me like the girl I remember years ago.

That cute little girl you would get me so hard just with one look.

"Miley - baby. Is everything okay? What happened with —"

She threw her body around me and engulfed me in a bone crashing hug and let out a sob.

I hugged her back, rubbing her back slowly as I felt her drain all her emotions on me.

"I'm here princess. I'm here, and I'm not leaving," I said.

"L-Luke... Nick left. He doesn't want to see me again." She said slowly and I could feel the hurt in her voice.

"Y-Your dad too, Miley. He got really angry at me. He doesn't want us together. I'm sorry Miley~ I'm not good at anything. I can never do the right thing for you, I only know how to destroy things." I said.

She pulled away from me and wiped my tears before wiping her own and let out a weak smile.

"I'll talk to him later. We can do this Luke. Together like you promised...."

I smiled back at her and connected our lips, forgetting about all the shit going down at the moment.

No. No. No. This couldn't be happening. This shouldn't be happening! He can't get together with Miley again, I worked so hard to push them apart but they found each other again.

I walked to my garden and sat down on the bench to compose myself. I could only see red and all I wanted to do was rip that Hemmings head off his body.

Years ago, before I Met Miley, I always wanted to get to know my daughter first. So I put someone to trail her and keep an eye on her. He told me everything about Miley - from the way her mom treats her to her best friend and even her secret little dirty affair with her best friends father.

Of course I didn't want my daughter to be with him, so I called up Gillian and told her the truth. I called up Holly too and told her how much her dad hated her and wanted to be separated from her. I told both of them that Luke was going to leave them soon for Miley, and was going to take all his money, property and stocks.

I wished that would be enough— and it was. Luke and Miley broke apart and I was there for Miley. I took her under my wing and helped her grow up into a better person. I found Nick for her - a great boy.

I frowned. Why was Nick not enough for her? Why did she have to end up with Luke again? Why? All my past hard work was down the drain, Luke and Miley never really got over each other.

I even got Miley's number changed and I threw away all remaining information about her so that Luke could never find her.

To ruin Luke, I even helped Gillian take away his money and property and he can't even do anything since I worked so precisely.

I am a lawyer - I could've even put him in jail for sex with a minor but I didnt. Now I regret it. I should've done it! This jerk deserves it. He's a f*cking pedophile.

"Dad.."

I heard Miley's voice and turned around, see her standing hands locked with Hemmings.

"Miley, honey -"

"I love him dad. I don't want to be with anyone else. I want you To accept us dad... please. I want him in my life again. Please dad- help me be with the man I love." She cried.

Oh child, I don't want you to cry. I did it all for you Miley. All because I care about you.

"I love you so much daughter. I wish you wouldn't love someone like Luke. He's not good for you."

"I'm old enough to know what's good for me and what isn't now dad. Please. Just leave us be. I just need to know that you'll accept us – no matter what."

I shook my head.... but I had no other option left now did I? I had to see my daughter be this germ of a man who doesn't even have any money left now. How can he take care of my daughter?!

But Miley is stubborn. She won't listen to me.

"For you Miley, for you I'm letting it go. You guys can do whatever you want to - since you clearly don't want to listen to me. I wish the best to both of you." I said and backed away from them to walk away but I felt a hand on my arm.

"Dad.. can I... can I ever come back home?" Miley asked me, her eyes looking down.

My heart almost broke at the weak sight of my little girl.

"This house is yours baby. It will always be and everything of mine is yours. I'm always there for you. I know Hemmings won't last long anyways. So you don't have to worry. You can always come home to papa."

I rubbed her head and hugged her. I gave her a smile and walked away from her. It hurts - seeing my daughter go with the man who I despised, but I have no other option.

I glanced around to see Luke and Miley hugging.

I know it won't last long.

He'll leave her like trash again.
