The Accidental Wife by Sara Islam

Chapter 52

I was fuming. He told her I was going to send her away? Why would he do that? How the hell did he find the audacity to tell that to my own daughter? I knew Rosie wasn't going to lie to me. She had no reason to lie to me. "Mommy did I do something wrong! You look angry." Rosie said in a quiet voice as she took a couple of steps towards me.

My anger lessened when my eyes fell on her. 1 picked her up and kissed her cheek. "You did nothing wrong, cupcake. I'm not angry with you at all,"

I assured her. "I need you to understand this well, okay! You're always going to live with me, and I won't let anybody come between us, yeah!" She slowly nodded. I kissed her cheek and set her down.

"Guys, I need you to stay with her. I need to go somewhere," I told Maya and Sam.

"Where do you want to go?" Sam frowned as he stood up

"To see Mail, I want to know how the hell he was thinking to tell my daughter something like that,

"Maybe it's just a misunderstanding." Maya suggested. "Rosie, when did he tell you that?"

"A few days ago," Rosie mumbled, looking at all of us. She seemed a bit shaken, and I didn't know what to do to make her feel better.

"Okay, sweetheart. How did he say that to you?" Maya asked her cautiously. We all saw her state, so we didn't want to scare her more than she was already seared

I sat down beside Maya and reached for my daughter's hand. "You're not in any sort of trouble, Rosie. We just want to know why Matt told you

that

"One day, we were watching Disney movies and he told me

he wanted to watch a football game," she started talking. "I asked him not to change the channel, but he didn't listen to me. I told him that Daddy lets me watch cartoon and he told me that it's good I love Daddy because I'm going to live with him forever." I was doing my best to control my anger in front of her. "What else did he say, cupcake?"

"I got scared when he told me that and told him that I want to live with you, but he said that he's going to make a new family with you, and I have to live with Daddy because

you would need my room." I was going to kill him for what he had done. "He told me not to tell you anything or I'd be a bad girl and you'd send me to Daddy sooner."

He wanted to make sure that she wasn't going to say anything to me.

"That's not going to happen, baby girl. You can stay at Daddy's place for as long as you want, but the moment you want to come back here, Daddy or 1 will do that I wanted her to feel safe.

I stood up again and grabbed my phone.

"Are you going to see him!" Sam asked, earning a nod from me. "I'm coming with you." I was going to refuse, but then I thought it might be better to have him with me.
