Page 12 of Paying for his Sins

“Yeah it is. It’s good to be back home.”

“Damn right. Nicole told me what happened, he’s a stupid dick and I never liked him.” She laughs.

“I know that. I just needed a little help opening my eyes to him. He wasn’t always like that, so it took me longer to end things.” My eye twitches. Stay calm Daniel she’s yours now nobody can take her from you.

“I get that, oh Daniel your package is right here.”

“Thanks.” I open the box and it was filled with money and a note.

The money I owe you - Micheal

“What is it?” Jasper asks.

“Half of the money Micheal owes me.” I’m surprised he got it that quick. Kate walks up and looks in the box her whole body tenses up.

“Bastard.” She whispers and I squeezed her hand and she relaxes.

“Jasper can you handle this for me?”

“Sure not a problem.”

“Thanks.” Jasper and my phone goes off at the same time.

Henry- Meeting is canceled for today it will be set for tomorrow.

Daniel- Got it.

“So meeting is canceled for today. What do you want to do today Katy?”

“Swimming would be nice.”

“Alright swimming it is. See you later Jasper.”

“See you later.” Jasper says with a smile. I drive us home and we both change into our bathing suits. We jump into the pool and I start swimming. I raise my head out of the water and my eyes fix on Kate. I don’t know how she is so calm right now.

“How are you calm right now?” I asked, curiously.

“What do you mean?”

“How are you calm after what I told you about your father? I just don’t understand why you look so calm and free.” Kate swims over to me then wrap her arms around my neck.

“Because I’m with you. I always feel safe when I’m with you, I know if he does press the button you will find me and bring me home.” I lean in and press my lips onto hers.

“I’m happy to hear that you feel safe with me Katy. I will do anything to keep you safe.”

“I know you will.” She places her head on my shoulder as she wraps her legs around me.

“Ray told me that you quit your job, is there something you want to do in the family business area?”

“Don’t know I haven't thought about it.”

“You should, you have a couple of choices just think about it.”

“I’ll let you know.” The door opens and my brother walks out.

“We are home.”

“Welcome home Where’s my nephew?”
