Amara POV
…..
I can’t believe they brought Mary into this shit!
I stand in my room pacing back and forth angrily. The sound of my door opening has me snapped my head around to see who it is.
” You!” I snap at Dimitri who just has a cocky smile on his face.
” What?” He asked innocently and walks over to the baby changing table with Sadie.
” You know exactly what!” I snap and continue, ” You had Mary do your dirty work! She could go to jail!” Dimitri just laugh as he unbuttons Sadie onsies and starts looking for clean diapers.
” First off it wouldn’t be jail. It would have been straight to prison after they interrogate her for a good six hours.” He says calmly and sighs, ” Where the fuck are the clean daipers?” He questions and looks at me.
I stare at him in disbelief, ” That’s exactly my point! She could have gotten into so much trouble and do you even know how to change a daiper?” I question him as I walk over to the daiper bag and grab one clean daiper. When I walk over to him I scrunch my noise. ” What have you guys been feeding her?” I questioned him and look down at Sadie. ” Huh? what did they feed you?” I asked her softly in a happy tone.
Sadie just giggles and stares up at me with the cutest little smile. ” Her body is probably still trying to get use to all the baby food Lucia and Liam have been feeding her.” He tells me as he continues, ” It was also a small risk for Mary to take to be able to step on foot inside my house.”
I roll my eyes as I grab the wet wipes from under the changing table. ” You should send Mary home. She doesn’t need to be involved in your mess.” I tell him and move him out of the way.
I clean Sadie up and put a fresh daiper on her. I listen as Dimitri laughs like I just said something funny. ” Mary got involved the moment she stepped one foot into my house.” He tells me.
I shake my head and fix Sadie onsies, before setting her in the floor to play with her toys. ” I don’t care let her go home.” I tell him.
” No, the only way she goes home is in a body bag.” He says in a cold tone as he takes intimidating steps towards me. I back up until my back hits the wall. ” You wouldn’t dare.” I tell him nervously.
He smirks and places his hands on either side of my head. ” I would kill her and sleep like a baby after.”
” You aren’t the same person I knew back in middle school.” I say with a glare.
” I am the same person you met back in middle school and would hang out with all throughout high school. I haven’t changed at all.” He tells me.
” Than why are you doing this! Just let her go home!” I snap at him with tears in my eyes.
” No, she wanted to be here.” He says as he gently rubs his thumb against my cheek. ” So, she stays here. You should be happy to have your friend here. After all she did it for you.” He says kissing my forehead softly.
” Dimitri please..” I beg him.
” I said no.” Dimitri tells me in a stern tone.
” Dada!” Sadie says loudly catching mine and Dimitri attention.
I watch as Dimitri backs up and walks over to Sadie.
I stare at Sadie in surprise.
Dada?
Did she just call him Dada?
I watch as Dimitri picks Sadie and kisses her on the forehead. Sadie babbles happily and shows him her favorite grey teddy bear.
She looks so happy to be in his arms. I know he said he won’t hurt me or Sadie but he is still a criminal. Not to mention he practically forced me to come back here.
” Dada?” I questioned Dimitri with a raised brow.
” Yeah, Liam was joking around and told her to say bye to daddy. Now everytime she sees me. She calls me dada.” Dimitri explains to me.
I nod, ” That makes sense.” I say looking at Sadie.
She is so small and has never had a father figure in her life. ” You hurt my daughter and I will stab you myself.” I tell him.
Dimitri smiles at me, ” You know I won’t hurt her or you.”
So, he keeps telling me.
” How am I suppose to know that for sure? After all you forced me back here.” I tell him.
” You and Sadie are both safe here with me. Which reminds me.” Dimitri says as he digs around in his jacket pocket and hands me a folded packet of papers.
” What’s this?” I asked him holding up the packet in my hand.
” That is adoption papers for Sadie. I filled it out most of it at my office. I want to be Sadie father. All you have to do is sign it in agreement.” Dimitri tells me.
He wants to be her dad legally?
” Why do you want to be her dad?” I question him.
” She needs a father in her life. You know I am right. It doesn’t really matter if you sign those papers for me or not. I have my ways of adopting her on my own without your help.”
I stare at him in disbelief, ” If you can adopt her without my permission. Why ask me?” I question him.
” Figured I would give you the option to decide first.” He tells me.
I unfold the papers and hold my hand out. ” Give me a pen.” I tell him.
He isn’t giving me a choice in the matter. He will just get the papers approved with or without me. So I might as well just sign the papers for him. Besides he isn’t wrong about Sadie needing a father in her life.
I watch as Dimitri digs into his jacket pocket and hands me a black ink pen. I walk over to the nightstand and place the papers down. I read the papers carefully as I flip through them.
It really is just adoption papers for him to be her father legally.
” Before I sign this for you. You promise to keep Sadie out of your mafia business?” I ask him.
Dimitri smiles, ” Yeah, I can promise that.”
I nod my head, ” Okay.”
I let out a sigh and sign my name on all the areas that are highlighted. Since he is a criminal it would make sense that he would have some knowledge about the law. Including all the right places I need to sign.
After signing I hand him back the adoption papers. ” So, how did you know what places I needed to sign?”
” I took law school classes for fun in college. I even finished at the top of my class.” He tells me as he shoves the papers back into his jacket pocket.
” You could have been a lawyer instead of doing all of this.” He shakes his head, ” This is my life and it is the family business. Someone had to take over.” He gives Sadie a little kiss on the forehead before handing her to me.
” Dada..” Sadie says causing her little bottom lip to tremble as she holds her arms out to him.
” Dimitri, take your daughter. She wants you and I need a break to think about everything.” I watch as he glances at me and back at Sadie. He gently takes her out of my arms.
Sadie instantly cheers up and hugs Dimitri happily. ” Dada!” She says happily. I watch as Dimitri smiles and carries her out of my bedroom.
She is really happy with him.
I kinda feel bad for the guy she dates when she gets older. Dimitri is an asshole and now he is legally her father. Not to mention Lucia and Liam are just as bad as he is.
