Chapter 82: 82

"Helly?"

"Yeah it’s my name", the old woman said.

"But why name when I can call you the way I can others?" I felt confused.

"Because your mother won’t like it", she said.

"Mom won’t like it? Why?" I asked again.

"Children shouldn’t know", she patted my head and sit beside me.

"So you are ready?" she said.

"Ready about what?" I asked.

"To know the answers to your questions?"

My eyes lightened up and kept looking at her anticipating.

"So first you wanted to know what father is right?" she said while I nodded.

"So as you know your mommy gave birth to you that means you came out from your mommy’s tummy but that’s not entirely how you were born", she said making me confused.

"You were born because your mom and dad loved each other so much that they decided to have you and you came to this world", she said.

"Again dad?"

"Yeah so there is not only mom but also the dad who gave birth to you," she said.

"Then why I never saw my dad", I asked while she looked away.

"I can’t tell you about but there is some misunderstanding going on with your mom and dad so when you were born you were only with mommy but dad didn’t know about you and stayed away from you for years", she said.

"So, is that bad uncle my dad?" I asked while she nodded looking at me.

"He was my dad all along?" I asked again.

"Yeah he didn’t know you were born so when he knew he came to take you but your mom didn’t let you be with him", she said.

"Why?" I asked again.

"There are some problems with adults, sweety. And your responsibility is to make your mom and dad stay together", she said.

But mom always gets angry when he comes to me, talks to me and tried to be with me. What if I ended up hurting mom and she doesn’t want me anymore?

I thought.

"But mom told me to call the other uncle, dad", I said.

"That’s what you need to make it stop to make your dad get close to mom", she again said.

I thought for a while and agreed.

"Don’t worry Helly. I will make them together", I said and hugged her. She held me back while I noticed my uncle and grandpa were outside.

I broke the hug and said, "So grandpa isn’t a nickname?"

As I said, they chuckle.

"No, he is your mom’s dad so he is your granddad/ grandfather/ grandpa while Jace is your mother’s brother just like Josh is yours so he is your uncle", she said I understand everything.

"Ok, now I will return home", as I said a bright smile popped on my lips.

"Roger my little Ayla, let’s go home", Uncle carried me in his arms and took me back to the place in his car but the only thing I’m going to miss is Josh. He will be alone here.

"Uncle, can I take Josh with me?" I asked while he looked at Aunt who was standing at the stairs.

"What will you do if he cries at midnight?" he said.

"Don’t worry, I have a phone so I will face time with you two and give him lots of sweets as well", I said while he laughed as well Aunt while both pulled my cheeks making them red.

"Aunt Jenny will be mad if she sees you guys having fun with my cheeks while she can’t", I pouted.

"Oh, so I need to bring her here sooner right?" as he said I higher him again.

"You are the best Uncle", I kept on holding him until I saw a person near the entrance staring at me as if he would make a hole that way.

Me and uncle looked slowly toward the entrance but I found dad there glaring at us instead.

"Uncle, what do you think? Is he jealous ?" I slowly asked.

"Yeah maybe as if he never got to hold you", he chuckled while making him even angry.

"Ha, that’s so mean uncle", I said while he pulled me from my uncle’s arm and carried me carefully as if he had never ever held a kid in the first place.

"Oh ho, look who we have here", here we go with uncle’s act.

"Oh is it Aaron?"

"Is it Mr King?"

"Is it a bad uncle? Or....

"Uncle, don’t tease him", I wrapped my arm around his neck but it was still hard to hold him entirely as my hands are so short and he looks so big like a giant.

"Ah, Ayla?" Dad looked at me with a shocked expression.

"Yes, dad?" I made a face as if I didn’t know anything.

"What did you just say?" he asked me as if he sounded something wrong.

"What?" I acted.

"What you just said before?"

"I said yes?"

"After that?"

As he was asking me desperately, uncle chuckled again making him angry.

"You, Jace White, you are trying to make me angry purposely aren’t you?" he asked.

"No no, absolutely not. How could I when you are desperately trying to hear her calling you dad as if she spoke for the first time and you want her to call dad first", he laughed but dad had a gloomy expression on his face?

"Of course, it was my first time. Because I was not there when she first spoke", he looked down so I had to kiss him on his cheek holding him tightly.

"I’m here, dad", I said again while he held me tightly as if I was going to vanish.

"You know I’m your dad right? You are not acting with me right?"

"Of course, I know dummy dad", I said.

"You little brat, you must be itching for a beating right?"

"Of course not. Ayla is a good girl", I laughed again and he took me to his car and we left for our home.

***

"What is taking her so long?"

"She should have come by now", Ayla kept on mumbling while circling around the living room.

"Ayla, calm down. Aaron went to take her so she will be safe", James said.

"That’s what scares me", she mumbles.

"You don’t trust him?" James heard.

"Ha trust? Don’t joke with me", she replied.

"Ayla, you are making a mistake doing this", he tried to warn her.

"Mistake? I think your entire bloodline is the mistake", she stared straight into his eyes.

"Then you should call little Ayla a mistake too", as he said Ayla’s hand was on his collar.

"If you utter a single nonsense about my child I will kill you and it’s not even a warning but I can assure you", she said.

She kept on holding him while Chloe interfaced and tried to break them free but Ayla’s hand hit her while her head hit on the couch making her bleed.

"Chloe", James ran to her.

"Wow so much love", she smirks.

"Ayla, you lost it!!" he shouted.

"Of course or do you think I would have stood here in this place where no one respects any relationship but uses it as a contract ruining people’s life?"

"Ayla, I’m saying it’s not like that", he still tried to be convenient while he was supporting Chloe.

"Miss, where should I keep your things", a maid came and asked.

"Ummm, of course besides my would be my husband’s room" she replied.

"But, Miss. Chloe is staying there", she replied.

"Is that my concern? She should stay with her husband who she has been engaged to for years. So make my room ready in an hour", she said.

"Ayla, don’t do this", Chloe said in a low voice.

"What?"

"Break the engagement", she said.

"Why, are you so fucking invested in my business?"

"Then too when I was happy you messed up and now too. I don’t know why you are doing this when I didn’t know you until I saw you there. We don’t even have any special enemy history. Then why? Who are you?" she was calm asking.

"Ayla, trust me I don’t have any issues with you but it will ruin everything", she said.

"Then why did you be with Aaron in the first place? Didn’t you know it will destroy many lives?" she asked, making Chloe shut.

"I.....

Chloe shuttered.

"What? You?"

"It was a mistake", she said in a low tone.

"But my Ayla was not a mistake, you should have understood that", Ayla said while bending down her height while her expression kept on piercing through Chloe’s skin.

"Iiii... M.... Sorry", she replied.

"It’s too late."

"Please prepare my room", she said to the maid.

"But-

She hesitated.

"But?"

"The room was not in use in real", she said.

"Stop right there", James tried to shut her.

"Why? Isn’t that Miss. Chloe’s room?" she asked.

"Yeah but- she...

"Didn’t I say stop there!!!" James shouted, making me go numb.

"Just what on earth she was trying to say but James stopped", Ayla wandered.
