Chapter 6 As You Do

• Some red blood shots gathered in the center of his pupils, glowing with blood, thirsty red. He silently withdrew his gaze to her daughter's face and kissed her hair for a long moment, he couldn't help but be filled with a sense of relief. He could by no means bring himself to imagine what would be of him if by chance he hadn't found Daniella. “Ella?” that was Mandy's voice from outside, she paced into the room, passing through the torn-down door. Daniella disengaged from her dad's embrace and quickly went into her friend's arms, weeping silently. She seemed particularly pitiful, like a porcelain doll that was about to break apart at any time. “It's okay now, your dad is here” Mandy reassured, stroking her back tenderly and glaring at the guy. “Go ahead and wait for me in the car, girls. I'll be back in a jiffy” Liam instructed with a small smile on his lips. Daniella heaved up her head from Mandy's chest at once, looking up at her dad's face, “Dad,” she called out softly, “I'll be back before you know it, Ella, now go ahead” she nodded her head slowly, threw a final glare at the guy who had completely dressed up during the time both father and daughter were cuddling each other and was now patiently awaiting Liam's worse. Inferring from Liam's affection toward Daniella, he knew that he would never pardon him, so if he was going to be a dead meat tonight, at least he should have his clothing on. As soon as Daniella was out of sight, the smile on Liam's face was soon replaced by smoldering anger as he summed up his pace to where he was standing. The atmosphere immediately became unsettling, he looked more intimidating and the chill he exuded from his body made this guy want to flinch, but he rapidly caught him by his trouser and threw him to the floor, “I'm sorry, it was a mistake” he said in a trembling voice, shrinking back in fear. However, the fierceness in Liam's eyes alone could burn this guy to ashes. He dared touch his priceless treasure, then he shall bear the retribution. Crouching, Liam raised his hand and gave the guy a hard slap, it was so hard that even him felt his palm stinging him slightly. Afterward, he intended to strike him once more, but the guy passed out after that first slap. Glaring at him, he stood up and casually kicked him and then muttered, “Dickhead”
• Both Daniella and Mandy got down from the car in front of Mandy's mansion. After a brief but passionate embrace, “Take care of yourself, babe” Mandy said and turned around into the house. Daniella got into the car again in the passenger seat, and Liam took off at once. Half an hour later, the car soared into their residence and stopped in the parking lot. There had been a shocking silence between the two of them throughout the short journey. The ambiance was too quiet, it appeared to be extremely awkward. Liam gazed at his daughter under the neon lights in the compound that were flickering into the car. Her palm-sized face, her ponytail, her delicate nose, and her pink lips. Every bit of her looked delicate. Lowering her head, “I'm sorry, Dad” Daniella apologized, toying with her fingers. Liam pretended to be angered and ignored her, he was glad his daughter took an offense upon herself this time. “Can we go in now?” asked Liam, looking at her profoundly. Daniella looked up at his face and their gaze locked. At that moment, her heart pounded strongly, as if it could jump out of her chest at any time. His eyes were exceptionally attractive like it was full of water, sparkling and deep. His forehead and his temples were all serene without a single disturbance, it was this exact peace and calmness that caused her heart to flutter. The next moment, there was hardly a tiny gap between their lips. Liam's gaze wrapping around hers and holding it, he pushed back the strands of her hair from her forehead, held her face in his hands, and shut his eyes. Daniella had also shut her eyes, sneaking her hand to his manhood, she wanted this so badly and she was pleased to see the longing in her dad's eyes too. Just as she parted her lips to entangle with her dad's tongue, “No, Ella, I can't do this” she opened her eyes slowly upon hearing her dad's words, “But why, dad? I really want this as much as you do,” her voice was very low and had no confidence in it, “No, Ella, I don't want this. You're my daughter” he spoke cautiously and gently, looking everywhere but Daniella's face. Daniella swallowed hard over the lump of emotion lodging in her throat, “Look into my eyes, dad” her voice was overbearing and her face blushes deeply, “Look into my eyes and say it to my face that you do not want this” Liam's heart trembled inside his chest while all the muscles on his body tightened. He turned to look at Daniella and was stunned to see the amount of tears that had pooled into her eyes. He gulped, reaching out his hand to touch her, Daniella deflected his hand with her palm, “Just answer the damn question, dad” her words became more presumptuous, glaring right into his remorseful eyes. “Yes, Ella, I do not want this,” By the time he finished his words, time seemed to stop at that moment and the tears she had been keeping away from falling gushed out from her eyes hysterically. She immediately opened the car door and scurried into the house, taking the stairs into her room in twos. She stormed into her room, bolted the door, then dived into her bed, crying her heart loud. Not only that, but she felt as if her heart was breaking into a million pieces inside her chest, and it was never going to be whole again. *Yes, Ella, I do not want this* the more she thought about her dad's words from earlier, the more a sense of bitterness arose in her heart. She felt dejected for the first time in her entire life, and to think that her dad was the reason behind it, her face distorted with anger, and it took all the control she had not to scream.
• The next morning,
