Ellie's PoV.

It's been more then a week!

Me and Skyla did so much things.

I found out that she was going to be attending the same school as I was.

Skyla still hated Her father.

To be fair I didn't like him anymore.

"Skyla! Come on school is about to start" I said.

"Okay okay coming" she says putting her shoes on.

It was funny, usually it's my father hustling me to get ready.

Eventually we made it to school on time.

I waved goodbye to Edmen.

"Freak you don't deserve to hang out with Eliana" a kid sneers at Skyla.

I clenched my fist. "Hey. You have no right to be such a bully" I glared then I grabbed Skyla and we made it into school building.

Lately ever since that incident Raevynn has become more of a witch.

She's constantly saying 'oh your daddy is gone' or 'your father left you haha'

All of those made me mad.

"Skyla let's go" I said noticing Raevynn approaching us.

Skyla turned and went towards her class as I head towards Miss Poppy.

she's been acting rather nicely to me.

I saw Aidan.

He was still the silly and fun Aidan.

"Ellie!" Aidan waves at me.

"Aidan!" I waved back.

Miss Poppy wasn't present in the classroom yet.

"Alright class let's settle down" Miss Poppy says.

I looked towards her direction.

*****

It was eventually Afternoon recess.

The last activity of the day!

"Ellie let's go to the monkey bars!" Aidan exclaimed.

But before I could reply.

Miss Poppy came up to me.

"Ellie I've got excellent news" she begins to say.

I was confused.

"What is it?" I asked.

"your father is here!" She remarks.

My eyes lit up.

"Daddy is really Here?" I asked excitedly.

"did you miss me?" I heard daddy's voice say.

I felt arms picking me up.

Daddy spun me around and gave me a slobbery kiss

on the forehead.

"Daddy!!" I squealed.

"Are you surprised?" He asks still holding me.

I nodded agreeing.

"Daddy this is Aidan!" I said as I gestured to Aidan while I was in my father's grasp.

My father looked down at Aidan.

"So... your Aidan that my daughter talks about, have you been taking care of her?" He asks.

Aidan nodded.

"Yes! We were going to go play on the monkey bars" Aidan says.

"I'm afraid I have to steal my daughter away from you" he says as he kisses me again.

"bye bye Aidan!" I said waving while resting my head on father's shoulder.

"baby have you been good?" Daddy asked.

"The question is have you been good daddy." I imitated his tone.

He chuckled.

"you know I missed you crazy" He says ruffling my hair.

Miss Poppy has been giving my father googling eyes at my father as we departed.

"Daddy don't date Miss Poppy" I said.

"I would never" He says.

We made it to his car and he buckled me up as we made it home.

It was a really exciting day.

I happily fell asleep in my car seat as father drove away from the school.

I was happy he was back.

I didn't ever want him to leave without giving me a kiss.

We arrived back at our house.

Daddy unbuckled me and I skipped towards the mansion, I was excited to tell Skyla that my father has came back.

"baby let me settle down alright?" He says exhausted.

One of the maids help take his jacket off and hang it on the hooks.

After that they handed him a glass of water.

I ran towards the stairs.

I was met by Miss Rebecca ugh.

"my daddy is home" I said with my arms crossed.

"Explains why you are extra snarky" Rebecca sneers.

I glared; how dare she speak to me that way?

Antonio's POV

I surprised my baby by picking her up early at school.

She told me many things before she fell asleep, I made it back to my mansion.

I was still annoyed at Jenna.

When she came to London she was telling me and saying how the news was just propaganda.

She kept on lying but the moans say otherwise.

I really needed a escape.

I'm not sure what I was feeling.

I felt like I just been betrayed, I already cut off the sponsorship for her, she was mortified but from the bottom of my heart i could give two fucks.

Seeing Eliana made all my frustration melt away but I wasn't in the mood to really play with her and have her introduced me to her newly found friend, Skyla.

I walked up to my bedchamber, I discarded my shirt and threw my phone at my bed.

When my daughter asked me not to date her teacher I was surprised but I never would've dated her teacher either way.

I took out a bottle of Champagne from the top shelf in my walk-in closet.

I really wanted to just drink my feelings away.

It's early to even be this exhausted but I took a gulp of the champagne.

I removed my belt then removed my pants throwing it at the hamper.

Jenna is really a gold digger.

my mind keeps trailing back to Camille.

God she's my personal Assistant's assistant.

I badly needed her.

I sat on the ledge of the bathtub, drinking down the last sip of champagne I tossed the glass away.

Maybe a couple hours later.

I put on a more casual attire.

I was surprised my daughter hasn't knocked at my door or bursted through.

Perhaps.... she's used to being by herself now.

It's as if she's grown within the weeks I've been gone.

and... as I was enjoying my peace I heard my door swing open.

"Daddy daddy" I heard Ellie say as she ran towards me which I picked her up, "what is it princess?" I asked.

"I need help putting on my new dress" she says.

"Aren't you a big girl now?" I raised an eyebrow, "But daddy The dress is too complicated" she pouts, I chuckled, "Alright did you take a shower?" I asked, she nodded.

I placed her on the ground as we walked to her bedroom, there laid a very cute dress, it was white and it had a built in cami, "what's the dress for?" I asked, "oh daddy we have picture day tomorrow and I just want to be prepare" she says, "okay miss perfect" I ruffled her hair, "I want braids over my head like a headband" my daughter explains.

I sat on the edge of her bed as she ran towards her bathroom to grab a brush then undressed herself.

I was studying on how you would place the dress together, but it turns out all you need to do was tuck the cami then pull it over and zip up simple enough.

"okay let's try this" I said as I picked up her dress, Ellie nodded and walked over towards me, I told her to raise her arms as I pulled the dress over, after that I straightened it out to make sure no creases were seen, "how does it feel?" I asked zipping up the dress, "it's uncomfortable" she says.

"what's uncomfortable?" I asked, "it's this! the built in thingy as like another material along with it" she whines.

"well that's called a built in bra" I said finishing zipping up.

"why does this dress have it? do I need it?" she asks.

"no baby, but you chose the dress correct?" I questioned stepping back to look her up and down, she is too cute and that dress really suits her.

"Skyla says it would be nice on me, and she says it's what big girls wear" Ellie explains.

"So you want to be a big girl?" I inquired lifting her up onto the bed.

"I do! but it's not comfy" she sighs.

"well you will most definitely be the star of the show" I gave her a kiss on the forehead.

"Eww daddy I have cooties" she scrunches up her nose wiping her forehead.

I chuckled, "and how does daddy have cooties?"

"At school we learned that boys have germs" she briefs.

"so you don't want me to show my love?" I said pretending to feel hurt.

Then I saw her ponder, "no daddy that's not it! fine you are an exception" she says giving me a kiss on the cheek.

"I love you" I said as I began to tickle under her armpits.

"no daddy stop" she giggles trying to squirm away from me, "I didn't hear a I love you too!" I said continuing to tickle her.

"I love you daddy" she says between her giggles, "but daddy seriously I wanna get prepared" she says resisting the urge to giggle.

"alright, let's carry on with your preparation" I said lifting her back onto the ground.

"baby so how do you want your hair done?" I asked picking up the brush.

"like this" she says showing me an image.

"It's called the Dutch Lace braid headband" she says.

"you have such high vocabulary" I complimented, "Thank you daddy" she says now pulling up a chair then plopping herself down.

*********

About 50 tries later.

"Perfect!" I said placing the brush down and handing my daughter a handheld mirror.

"Wow daddy you are talented" Ellie exclaims, I cocked an eyebrow, "Are you saying you doubted me?" I asked putting a hand on my right chest

"...maybe" she says then she dashes out of the room.

Here comes the goose chase.

I quickly ran to pick her up, "baby my biggest talent is making you" I said twirling her around.

"Daddy I'm tired" she says yawning, "time for a late nap?" I asked and she nodded, resting her head on my shoulders, so I made my way back to her bedroom, I took her clothes off and replaced it with her pyjamas, after that I tucked her into her bed and gave her a kiss on the forehead, "princess I'll be in my office okay?" I said, she sleepily nodded.

I got up and closed the door walking down the stairs towards my office.

Then I saw Edmen, "Edmen I have to go back to the office building, Ellie is taking a snooze in her bed tell her I'll be back before dinner" I commanded.

"Yes Sir" He said bowing.

"Thank you" I said then I made my way to the garage.

Somehow my brain was thinking of Camille... I just need her.

I rung Joseph, "Joseph have you found a new Assistant for Brenton" I asked taking a right turn.

"Yes, Mr. Smith we secured a new assistant, but Brenton wasn't happy to hear that you took his assistant" Joseph answers.

I let out a chuckle, "Well Joseph aren't you lucky to have a new helper that I personally picked?" I amusingly said.

"yes yes, but you need to control your anger sometimes sir" he says I could hear the humour in his voice.

I ended the call.

I drove into the underground parking and made my way to the elevator.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Smith" Camille says as she stands up from her desk.

"Good afternoon, Miss Hawkes" I walked over to her desk, I could see the unfolding blush that was about to happen, "May I be of assistance to you, Mr. Smith" she says keeping her voice balance, "Yes, I would like you to follow me to my office" I roughly said, now she was red as a tomato.

"R-right Of course" she says following me to my office, we walked up the stairs leading to my office I could hear her breath hitch a little.

"Sit" I commanded taking a seat at my desk.

"I want you to organise these documents" I said pushing the stack of paper towards her.

"Joseph has informed me that he will be taking a business trip to Spain, I will expect you to fill in on his behalf" I said with authority.

"Y-Yes sir" she stammered, "The documents will be due by the end of next week, I am sure you are capable of doing so?" I cocked an eyebrow.

She nodded, "I would like you to verbally answer" I stated.

"Of course, Mr. Smith" she says a bit more confident.

"Please report to me if there is any further problems" I continued, "Yes Sir" she nods.

Ellie's PoV

I didn't like the built in bra that daddy said there was, but since Skyla says it's for big girls I guess I'll wear it for picture day.

Having daddy back lightened up my entire mood but I got exhausted and I laid my head on Daddy's shoulder then I felt daddy move towards my bedroom and he removed the uncomfortable dress then he put on my pyjamas.

Soon he tucked me in and said he would be in his office which I closed my eyes and rolled to my side.

I heard daddy shut the door.

After maybe a few hours of snoozing I sat up on my bed and stretched while yawning, I made my out of my bedroom then down the stairs in hopes of finding daddy.

I saw Edmen sitting in the living room.

"Edmen where's daddy" I asked still waking up from taking a nap.

"Your father had to go to work for a bit, he will be back before dinner" Edmen answers, "Hmm okay I'll be in the music room" I said skipping down the hallway towards the music room.

I went to take a seat at the small wooden bench near the big grand piano.

I was still new to the piano so I just played the basic tunes which was Mary Had a Little Lamb.

I flipped the music pages but then I got a paper cut.

I ran out of the room to find Edmen.

"Edmen! I'm bleeding" I said showing my finger.

"Alright lets get you cleaned" he says as he gently grabs my hand and leads me to the powder bathroom (half bath)

I stepped onto the barstool and he placed my hand under cold water then he sprayed saline on and placed a bandage on my index finger.

"There now do you feel better?" Edmen asks, I nodded, "Where is Skyla?" I asked.

"Skyla is doing some homework" he answers, "I will play with Skyla then" I said hopping off the barstool with Edmen behind me, "Skyla is studying for a math test" he informs me.

"Math test, when will she be done" I asked.

"It depends on how she studies" Edmen informs, "so can I play with her?" I asked, "I'm afraid not" he says, "okay when is daddy coming back" I asked

"..before dinner" Edmen replies, "Edmen let's play hide n seek!" I exclaimed.

"We can only hide on the main floor" I said.

************

I ended up winning most of the time, and by the time we finished I heard the garage open.

To be honest I guess I was liking Edmen again, but he needs to spend more time with Skyla!

I ran up to the door and I got embraced by daddy.

"Daddy I missed you" I exclaimed,

"I was only gone for a few hours" he says giving me a kiss on the forehead, "Daddy will you be replacing Miss Rebecca?" I asked.

"Rebecca? Our head maid" He asks raising his eyebrow.

"Yeah, Rebecca is a cranky old lady" I said pouting.

"Baby you shouldn't say such things to people older than you" Daddy says still having his arm supporting me, "But Miss Rebecca slapped Skyla.." I said crossing my arms, "I heard from Edmen, and I will find someone alright? But for now just hang on" daddy explains.

I just nodded then daddy walked me over to the dining room and I saw my favourite Lemon Chicken Dish!

Daddy set me on his lap as he took a seat at the head of the table.

I insisted that Skyla joins us and Edmen too, but Edmen refuses however Skyla was eager.

"Sky I like your outfit!" I said beaming seeing her walking down to the dining room, she was wearing a skirt with black shirt.

"and I like your pyjamas" Skyla teases, I huffed, "it's what daddy made me wear" I said then turning my head to send daddy a playful glare, "Alright let's dig in" he said while he placing a napkin on me.

I picked my silverware up, daddy had cut the chicken into bite size pieces for me.

"Ellie I am thinking of wearing a red dress for photo day" Skyla says, "That'll be good, I have to go to the afternoon photo shoot" I said sighing.

"Daddy" I turned to daddy, "Yes baby?" He responds setting the silverware down, "What do you call a dead almond?" I giggled, "hmm a diamond?" Daddy responds, which I gasp, "Daddy how did you know!" I exclaimed, "oh sweetie I've been around longer than you" he ruffles my hair, I resumed to eating my cut up chicken.

***********

We had finished dinner, so I went to go play with Skyla while my daddy was going back to his office.

"Ellie after picture day... on Saturday could we go to an amusement park?" Skyla asks, "I have to ask daddy" I said shrugging as we continued to colour.

"Also Sky do you still hate Edmen" I inquired, "Yeah I just can't believe Amanda isn't my mother" Skyla says sighing, "he did it for the best I think" I grabbed the pink marker.

"Let's have a sleepover! You come sleep in my room" I said, "Ellie I feel like your father doesn't like me" Skyla says quietly, I looked at her, "What do you mean?" I questioned.

"he looks at me as if I'm some stranger" Skyla says laying on the ground.

I don't really understand what she's saying...

"Huh?" Was all I said as I coloured the my little pony.

"nothing" Skyla says going back to colour.

"Let's watch a movie" I said putting my colouring book away standing up, "it's 7 pm" Skyla said.

"Yeah we got an hour to watch so let's hussle!" I said grabbing Skyla's hand as we made it down to the cinema room.

Why don't we watch horror movies! I think we can watch Hush

"let's watch a horror movie" I said grinning, "I don't know" Skyla says a bit weary.

We ended up watching the movie but I jumped at every scary scene, I huddled closed to Skyla and she was closing her eyes too.

Eventually I shut the movie off, "Let's not..." I said a bit scared.

"Agreed!" She says standing up

I looked around trying to find any ghosts.

************

Skyla went to her bedroom and I attempted to fall asleep in my bed but I failed miserably so I made a bee line to daddy's room.

"Princess?" I heard daddy ask in his sleepy voice.

I crawled onto his bed not answering to him, "baby did you have a nightmare?" He softly asks brushing the strand of hair away from my face, I just nodded, I buried my face in his chest as I found comfort in his bed.

Daddy just kissed me on my head as I drifted to sleep.

perhaps it's the years of being with daddy that just being near him calms me, and he always knows how to put my to sleep, even though I didn't tell him, he really is my father.
