Chapter 4 Daddy Issues

"No daddy, Please, I am sorry." I screamed.

I tossed and turned as Tony woke me up. "Maya, Wake up!"

I opened my eyes in his strong hands as he held my arms down by my side. "Get off of me" I screamed in his face. "Not until you calm down. You were having a nightmare." He said as he slowly lifted his hands off of me and leaned to lay down back on his side of the bed.

I sat up "I am sorry. I get them now and then. Probably why I could not hold a relationship plus having daddy issues."

I felt his hand on my back as I trembled to his touch "Butterfly, anyone that rejects you because of that is such a fool." I looked into his big brown eyes and his square face with a gold tee and lips that look soft that makes you want to taste them. "Thank you but you do not understand. We got out of there as soon as Marc turned 18 to escape when my father had his heart attack that killed him. My brother landed this real estate job to get us out. He set himself up with everything he has and when I turned 18, he got me an apartment in the city so I can live nearby my dream job working at Brooks Publisher."

I pulled my knees up to my chest as he started to rub my back, "My brother kept his cool to get us out and did not touch a hair on my father so why would he kill yours."

He shook his head as he leaned towards me. "Butterfly, He did kill your father. He poisoned him. He told me. Your father did not have a heart attack" He whispered in my ear.

My eyes got big and teary "You are lying. No matter how much we hated my father for what he did to us. My brother would never kill him. He died of natural causes." He pulled me into his arms. "Butterfly, I am sorry. Your father was your brother's first kill and once he got a taste of it. He could not stop it. He killed my father then tried to kill me too to try to take over my family's business."

I cried in his arms "No, please stop telling me this." He placed his knuckle on my chin pulling my face up towards his face "I am sorry butterfly. I did not want to upset you, but you need to know who your brother is."

I pushed out of his arms as I see his soft lips coming towards me to lightly kiss my forehead and I laid back into the bed. He laid back on his side as he says, "Go back to sleep butterfly." I closed my eyes.
