  "You're a brave girl aren't you sweetheart? You don't have to be scared. She's gone and you won't see her again because we're going back to London tomorrow"- Carina  

CARINA'S P.O.V.

I could feel how scared my daughter was as I hugged her. She was crying so hard that my heart ached as we tried to console her. I knew she was shocked and scared of what happened but we were still lucky that Rosie didn't succeed in her plans.

I took her to my arms and let her cried on my chest while I kept on kissing her head and rubbing her back to calm her down.

"What were you doing Fiona? Why did Scarlet went to the gate alone?" Regan asked exasperatedly at Fiona who just came running from the house.

"Sorry Mr. Novell, I told her to wait for me at the living room while watching tv because I needed to use the toilet but when I came back, she wasn't there anymore. I searched around the house until I heard the gun shots" Fiona said nervously. Regan raked his fingers through his hair with frustration.

Then the police came. Regan narrated them what happened while I on the other hand concentrated on consoling my daughter. When the police finished taking Regan's statement, they also asked me several questions. Regan took Scarlet from me while I answered the police's questions.

When the police left, Regan made phone calls to numerous people. His jaw was flexed the whole time because of rage but I didn't pay attention to what he was saying on the phone because I was busy with my daughter.

Then we decided to call a doctor for Scarlet because she seemed to be traumatized of what happened. When the doctor arrived, she told us that everything was okay. It was just a normal reaction because of what just happened. But she told us too that we should observe Scarlet in the next few days and if something was wrong with her behavior, then we must seek further for a professional help.

"Are you okay now baby? Don't you feel scared anymore?" I asked Scarlet while we were on the bed. She asked me if she could sleep with us tonight and I agreed. Regan wasn't home yet for a reason I don't know.

She snuggled close to me and hugged me.

"I'm scared mommy" she said and nuzzled her face on my chest, seeking comfort. I hugged her  tightly to make her feel secure and safe.

"You're a brave girl aren't you sweetheart? You don't have to be scared. She's gone and you won't see her again because we're going back to London tomorrow" She looked up at me with her forehead creased.

"We're going home mommy? What about daddy? Is he coming with us?" I groaned inwardly and I bit my bottom lip, unsure what to say.

"Ahm...He's not going to...come with us baby" I answered her hesitantly. I was surprised when she suddenly sat upright.

"But why mommy? I don't want to leave daddy!" She said and began crying. I quickly hugged her but she wiggled out of my embrace and ran towards the door. She was about to open it when it suddenly opened and Regan came in.

"Daddy..."She said while crying and lifted her hands up to her father. Regan picked her up with furrowed eye brows.

"What happened princess? Why are you crying?" He asked her and Scarlet's wails became louder as she hugged him tightly.

"M-mommy said we're going back to London tomorrow but you're not going to come with us. Is that true daddy?" My heart pained while watching my daughter like that. I didn't want to make her cry but it can't be helped. After what happened this morning, I wouldn't be able to have a peace of mind staying here anymore especially that Rosie escaped and wasn't apprehended yet. The safety of my daughter was my foremost priority for now.

Regan walked towards me with Scarlet still on his arms. Then he sat her on the bed beside me while he sat on the other side of the bed. He was staring at me with questioning eyes but I didn't say anything.

"Princess, listen to daddy. You and mommy will be going back to London but don't worry, after I finished all the problems here, I'll come and get you" he said full of promise and kissed her forehead adoringly.

"But I don't want to go back to London. I want to stay here with you" She insisted. I heaved a sigh.

"Baby. Listen to daddy. Don't worry, you can call him everyday. You can see each other on skype" I said, trying to persuade her.

"Don't you love daddy anymore mommy that's why we're leaving him?" I was caught off guard of what she just asked. I didn't expect her to ask me that. My eyes met Regan's and I saw mixed emotions into his eyes. They were both looking at me, patiently waiting for my answer.

"Baby, that's not true. You know mommy has a job in London right? I need to go back to work that's why we're going back. Please don't make this hard for mommy?" She looked at her father helplessly and suddenly hugged him while continued sobbing. Regan was patting her back gently while kissing her forehead, consoling her until she fell asleep in her father's arms.

Regan put her to bed carefully not to wake her up. Then he went to the closet to get a change of clothes and went to the bathroom without saying anything. He wasn't even looking at me. When he came back after showering, he was still quiet. He was about to lay down next to Scarlet when I couldn't take it anymore and spoke to him.

"Can we talk?" I asked him.

"About what? You already made your decision" He said without a hint of any emotion and I suddenly wanted to cry of his cold behavior.

"Please?" I queried.

"Scarlet is already asleep. We don't want to wake her up" I got off the bed and went to his side of the bed.

"Then let's go out and talk somewhere else" I insisted determinedly. He heaved a defeated sigh and walked towards the door.

"Let's go" he said and opened the door carefully. I followed him. He didn't even wait for me as he walked to the hallway. Then he entered one of the guest rooms.

"What do you want us to talk about?" He asked right after I closed the door. He was sitting on the edge of the bed while looking at me with blank expression. I cleared my throat and sat next to him.

"I just want to tell you that we're going home tomorrow" I said with a low voice. He chuckled humorlessly upon hearing what I've said.

"Yes. I heard that a while ago. That's the reason why our daughter was crying, remember?" He asked with a hint of sarcasm and I nodded my head hesitantly.

"Then we don't have anything to discuss. You already made up your mind" He said and was about to stand up when I grabbed his hand and stopped him from doing so.

"Why are you angry? We already talked about this haven't we?" I asked him exasperatedly.

"Because you're making your own decision without even consulting me first and it's affecting our daughter! Didn't you see how sad she was a while ago?" I closed my eyes helplessly for a moment before I stared back at him.

"I am doing this because I don't want something bad happen to her! Look at what happened this morning? She was nearly killed by your psycho friend! What do you want me to do, stay here and wait for Rosie, Tiffany and Russel to hurt my daughter without doing anything?!" He groaned in frustration as he ran his fingers through his hair.

"I am doing everything to make them pay. The police are searching for them now. They can't come near us anymore" He said with a mellowed tone.

"We can't be sure until they're behind bars. We are still in danger" I reasoned out.

"Then we can go somewhere else if that's the problem. You don't have to go back to the UK" He said, trying to persuade me. His eyes were begging me as he touched my hands and kissed them.

"Please. I don't think I can handle if you're not here by my side. We can find solution to this" He said passionately and I almost melted to his pleas. I didn't answer for a couple of seconds while staring to him. Am I wrong? Am I being selfish? I took a deep breath.

"I already told you that I need time away from you. After what happened, honestly I am lost. I am just hoping that I can think there more clearly than here. I am asking for a break from all of these and from you too" I mumbled as I averted my eyes from him. I couldn't take seeing his hurt expression. I could see from my peripheral vision that he was staring at me with disbelief and hurt. I bit my bottom lip guiltily.

I couldn't take it anymore. I stood up and was about to rush out of the room when he quickly pulled my hand and stop me from doing so.

"No! This is unfair!" He hissed before he cupped my face and kissed me hard like he was punishing me. I groaned with protest but his other hand went to the back of my head and pulled me even closer to him and deepened the kiss that I became overwhelmed at the intensity.

His hands began exploring my body and I couldn't do anything other than pant deliriously. His tongue explored my mouth expertly and my mind became hazy. I felt him bit my lower lip gently, coaxing me to open up for him. Even though I wanted to resist him, I didn't have the strength to do so. I reciprocated his kisses with all my heart. He groaned triumphantly.

I felt his hand went to the hem of my negligee and began pulling it off me. He broke our kiss and that made me gasp for air. Our forehead met as his eyes never left mine.

"You're mine Kitten!" He hissed and claimed my lips possessively. My body was acting on its own. Even though he was a little bit rough and angry, he never failed to make me crazy for him and craved for his touch.

After a couple of minutes, I was already underneath him, writhing and panting as he worshipped my naked body. I was naked while he was still completely clothed and I kept calling his name as his lips played on my breasts, licking and sucking like a hungry child while his hand were playing with my p*ssy.

"R-Regan---!" I panted wantonly and I heard him chuckled.

"Just like that kitten. Keep calling my name. Tell me how much you like it!" He commanded and then continued his ministrations to my body. Not long after that, his head went between my legs.

"Ahh!" I moaned with delight as his tongue explored my hidden treasure. He put my legs over his shoulders as his hands stretched upwards and cupped my breasts. My hands were pulling on his hair as I bit my lower lip to stifle my moans but it was so hard to do so as the pleasure intensifies.

His fingers pinched on my nipples while his tongue latched on my nub faster until I couldn't take it anymore and my body burst with ecstasy. I was breathing hard as my body turned into jelly. I saw him removing his shirt and then threw it somewhere the room.

When he was unbuttoning his pants, I sat up and helped him remove it from him with my trembling hands. His hands stopped fumbling on his pants and let me do so. My hands went to his chest and gently pushed him to lay down then continued removing his pants together with his briefs. His hard and angry manhood sprung free. I threw his pants and briefs on the floor while my eyes found his eyes which were darkened with desire.
