Chapter 44
Chapter 44
Michael's P.O.V.
I kept replaying what Mya said over and over in my head. That's him...that's master... it just couldn't be.
I refused to believe it. Danny is a good person he wouldn't hurt a fly. I mean yeah he's a little
intimidating but that's just an image. Everyone loves him once they get to know him. On the inside, he
has a good heart. I know he does...
I cradled Mya in my arms as she continued to cry. I didn't know what to say or do. Daniel is not who she
says he is. He's not.. I sighed, "Baby are you sure that's him? Maybe you looked at him too fast or
something."
She quickly shook her head and scooted away from me. "N-No *sob* No no no....you don't
understand....*sob* the-the whipping the yelling...the pain...*sob* it was him...it was all him.." by this
time she was hyperventilating and shaking like mad. I stood up quickly and grabbed her pump.
"Baby...please breathe...everything is fine." Tears began to stream down my eyes as my heartbeat
sped up. Please be okay..
I took a deep breath to calm my nerves. I can't panic... I need to take care of her... I gently grabbed her
chin and and lifted it so that she was looking into my eyes. "Baby look at daddy...breathe...calm
down...good girl." I shook her pump and pressed it to her mouth. She breathed in and held in her
breathe. "Breathe out baby" she slowly breathed out and closed her eyes.
"Daddy...I don't want to go downstairs...please make him leave...please.." I sighed and rubbed her
back. More tears fell down my cheeks as I spoke softly. "Ok baby I'll go talk to him. Do you want me to
tell GG to come up here to stay with you?" She buried her face into her chest and shook her head.
"Don't leave me daddy..."
I kissed her forehead. "Baby I need to go talk to him. Let me just go get GG." She shook her head
again and whimpered. "Please don't daddy..I don't want her to see me like this." I frowned. "Why not
princess?" She wiped her eyes with her fist and shrugged. "Can you get Harry instead?"
I nodded and stood to my feet. "Of course baby. I'll tell him right now."
I sighed and slowly walked out of the room. I made sure the door was close before I sank down on my
knees. A quiet sob escaped my lips as tears soaked my cheeks. How...? How could he do this to her?
What did she do to deserve so much misery?....my brother....out of all the people who could have hurt
her why my brother?
I shook the thoughts from my head and wipped my eyes. I need to talk to him... I stood to my feet and
slowly made my way down the steps. Laughter filled my ears as I entered the living room. Harry,
Giselle and Danny were gathered on the couch laughing at the pictures Danny was showing them on
his phone.
I took at deep breathe and cleared my throat. They all looked up and frowned when they saw my face.
"What's the matter Mike?" Danny asked standing to his feet. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Anger and sadness filled my body causing more unwanted tears to fall. I balled my fists at my sides
and looked over at Harry, completely ignoring Danny.
"U-Uh Harry Mya um....she needs you upstairs.." Harry looked at me with concern and then nodded
slowly. "Um..yes sir." He turned to GG and kissed her cheek. "Wait here for me love. I'll be right back."
I sighed heavily and looked over at Giselle. She was staring at me with wide eyes. "Giselle honey wait
right here for us ok? I just need to talk to Danny about something." She nodded watching me walk
away, Daniel automatically following.
I walked into the guest room and shut the door behind Danny.
"What's the matter Mikey? Talk to me...."
I shook my head and sat on the bed burying my face into my hands. Tears heavily flowed from my eyes
and loud sobs escaped my lips.
"H-How could you Danny?! Why *sob* Why would you do that to her? What did she do *sob* for you to
make you make her life a living hell?!" By this time I was a mess. I felt my cheeks and ears heat up and
I knew I was red.
Danny shook his head, "what the hell are you talking about Mikey?"
That angered me. I stood to my feet and pushed him causing his back to slam into the wall. My blood
boiled. "You know exactly what I'm talking about Daniel!!! I'm talking about Mya!! You beat her and
tortured her for years!! Why?!" His eyes widened at the mention of Mya's name. "Mya is your new
little...Michael I-"
I didn't want to hear what he had to say. I clenched my fist and brought it down harshly against his
cheek. He stumbled back and glared at me. "I wouldn't go that if I were you Mike." I shook my head.
More years fell and I punched at him again. I busted his lip and bruised his cheek but it wasn't enough.
I wanted to do more damage.
I brought my fist back to punch him again but this time he blocked and punched me straight in my
stomach. I toppled over in pain clenching my eyes shut. Dan looked down and me and smirked. I tried
to block the next hit but it was too much. He punched me in my eye causing blood to drop down my
face.
He yanked me up by my collar and brought me close to his face. "Are you done..?" I nodded slumping
against his body. I felt so weak and helpless. I'm letting Mya down...
Daniel sighed and sat me on the bed. He sat beside and sighed. "Mike calm down..." I whimpered.
"Daniel why...? She's so amazing and so beautiful. She never does anything wrong and she's
just....everything to me." I looked up at Dan but he wasn't looking at me. His eyes were focused on the
ground. I continued, not being able to stop myself. "I love her Dan...I love her so much. She was the
reason I didn't commit suicide that night. I picked her up from the auction house and everything just
clicked. I wanted to live....I wanted to breathe...I wanted to keep going... when she first came, she was
terrified but yet so sweet and so kind." I paused not knowing how else to explain my love for her.
I sighed rubbing my fingers through my hair. Tears kept streaming "Daniel. I just don't understand why.
You and I are so close. We did everything together. I love you Dan. You're my brother...my flesh and
blood. I don't know why I still love you, after finding out all of this...but I do....you hurt the love of my life
Dan...why?"
I looked over at him and he also had tears in his eyes. "I don't know Mike. I have a craving for
pain....crazy I know but what are you gonna do about it? That's how I am. I like seeing people in pain.
But I can say one thing. I did love her. Call me crazy, call me insane but I loved her. I took care of her I
made sure she had her asthma pump and I did breathing exercises with her. So I'm sorry, I don't know
why I did it but I am truly sorry. Hearing you say how much you actually made me realize how wrong it
was. I love you very much Michael, you my little brother. Just give me another chance to prove to you
that I'm capable of fixing my mistakes. I'll make it up to you and Mya. I swear it."
I sighed for what seemed like the hundredth time today. Should I give him another chance...?
