Page 113 of Daddy's Little Surprise

Daddy wrapped his arms around her and guided her toward the car.

“Is she okay?” Grace asked.

“Yes, she’ll be okay. I’ll contact you if she’s going to come in tomorrow.”

Everything was a blur as Daddy took her home. She couldn’t get the image out of her head. His lifeless eyes looking into hers through the picture.

“Everything is going to be okay,” Daddy gently said, holding her hand as he drove. “Daddy is going to take care of you.”

Tears were streaming down her face. Rainey didn’t think Deccan was going to kill him. She figured there would be a threat, and Pete would leave her alone. Or she would move towns and stay under the radar.

Never would she have imagined Deccan would kill him.

“You’re okay.”

Was she, though?

“Daddy is going to come around and pick you up. We’re going to snuggle on the bed.”

And Daddy did just that. He held her bridal style as he walked up to the front door and toward their bedroom. She felt safe but violated at the same time.

“I can’t get him out of my head,” she whispered. “The eyes.”

Sobbing, she gripped Daddy’s shirt as they laid down.

“Do you need a change?”

She shook her head. He had changed her when he got to the coffee shop, and she hadn’t gone to the bathroom yet.

“You’re okay. Hold on to Daddy.”

Rainey continued to cry into his chest.

“Such a good girl. Take a deep breath for me. Hold it. Slowly let it out. Daddy’s good girl.”

But that didn’t stop Rainey from continuing to have tears run down her face. Closing her eyes, she focused on Daddy’s steady heart rate and scent.

“You’re okay. Daddy is right here. I’ll watch over you.”

CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO

MARCO

Anger coursed through his body as he held Rainey. What was Deccan thinking when he sent that? Did he not think things through?

Marco grabbed his phone from his pocket and pulled up his phone number.

Marco

We need to talk. Now.

It was unacceptable. Rainey should have never seen the picture of her ex, dead in a chair. It wasn’t for a Little’s eyes.

Marco ran his hand through her hair, attempting to calm himself down. He was livid at Deccan. How did he think that was appropriate to do?

Deccan

Meet me in the parking lot in ten minutes.
