DOMINIC'S POV

"What is going on with my daughter? Why is she lying that way in the hospital?" I asked the teachers around me, annoyed.

Teachers were around me already trying to keep me calm but I had made my way to the principal.

"Are you going to talk or not?" He looked so comfortable with everything.

Just stood there staring at me.

"Sir, your daughter got into the middle of a fight." One of the teachers spoke out.

"Lies. When are you going to change your lies and think of a better one, we are becoming bored of this one?" I snorted.

"It's....it's not a lie now, we have so many people that can testify about that."

"You mean so many paid people?" I scoffed.

The principal, out of nowhere, finally wants to say something. I kept my ears high and I made sure that my eyes didn't leave him.

"What? Are you going to come up with a better one?" I tilted my head.

Mm?

"Your daughter was hit accidentally by the fighters."

"Okay, now she doesn't get into a fight anymore?" I had so much to say but I smiled.

There are lots of meanings behind that smile.

"Sir, you need to understand that this is not our fault, we try our best everyday to...." I cut him immediately because I was beginning to get pissed by the words that came out of his mouth.

"Oh, it's my fault then? I put my children into your fucking care and you are saying it's not your fault? You are trying.... how the fuck do I care? If your best isn't enough, then put more fucking efforts. Now my daughter who is suffering from leukemia got HIT BY FIGHTERS!!!!" I screamed my lungs out in anger.

The only thing I could think of now is to breaking his fucking nose.

"We are sorry for the inconveniences but we need you to calm down. I need you to calm down.." The principal finally acted like sense just befallen him.

I took a deep breathe. I was already breathing hard and fast, I really needed to calm down but not here.

"I will be back and I will need a proper explanation for what fucking happened. If my daughter was hit then a meeting with their parents would be okay for me." I clenched my teeth so hard while I was giving out this warning.

"We will try our best to make it up to you." The principal nodded.

I cared less about the rubbish that came out of his mouth.

I drove back to the hospital immediately. On reaching there I saw Hayley and Kaylie weeping by the corner.

"What's going on?" I rushed to them.

"Bailey....Ba..." Hayley could barely speak.

Seeing him that way I knew that everything is serious now. He is always the jokester, so if he can be this serious then I think there is a high chance that something ain't right.

"Speak to me, what's the matter?" I cupped his cheeks and made sure he was looking straight into my eyes.

Kaylie? Kaylie was having a little bit of this and that. He looked sad and then the next minute he was looking so unconcerned about everything.

"I will check out for myself." I left them at the office.

"Oh, Mr?" He smiled as he stretched his hands for a handshake.

"That's not what I'm here for now. We can do that some other time." I tilted my head.

"Just your band at least." He dropped his hands but his eyes were still on me.

"Dominic. Where the fuck is she?" I was so impatient.

"Do you normally swear so much around your kids?" He squeezed his eyes shut.

"Look doctor, do I look like I came here to exchange greetings or jokes?" My shaky hands were already close to his neck.

"Fine, fine. You can come see her." He took me out of his office to the room where Bailey was admitted.

She opened her eyes slowly when she heard the sound of the door.

"Daddy.." She struggled to speak out.

"It's okay baby, I'm here. I got you." I held her palms and squeezed it lightly.

"You didn't die the first day this happened to you. So nothing will take you okay? Don't be scared." I whispered to her.

She began to whimper while trying to hold back the tears she had in her eyes for long.

Just then her brothers Walked in.

"Bailey?" Hayley walked out and ran to her, almost hitting her hard, but the doctor was fast enough to stop him.

"Shush.....you need to give her some time to rest so she doesn't go into another pain. This time might be a coma, that would last for long." He made it sound like a bedtime horror story to scare Hayley.

Unfortunately for him, Hayley is the worst person you could ever scare, he would make a joke out of it.

Without any fear he walked back to me and leaned on the bed.
Kaylie was already lost looking at his sister....

"We will be with her soon..."



I had wasted so much time with the teachers and doctors that I forgot about the conference meeting. I didn't even get to know the final results of everything that was said in that room.

"Sir, I think your idea was bought." Clara smiled.

I did not find anything funny today so I found it difficult to smile after her message.

"Which was?" I tried so hard to not act rude or not sound uninterested.

"Allies."

"Ohh, that bitch actually bought my idea." I scoff.

"Go on then, make the possible preparations, we will be having a lot of people knocking at our door." I snapped.

"About that, they are already knocking. One promised to give us 20 percent of everything, and the other hangs at 10" Her lips curved to an upward smile.

"Well, we are going to consider the offer. Since he agrees to pay the highest."

"Yes sir.”
