Page 28 of Her Dream Mafia Daddy

“Well, that sounds like the perfect day. Let me know if you need any help finding books, but you know where the romance books are and…” He snapped his fingers and motioned for them to follow him to the back by the fireplace.

“Since it is getting colder now, I have the fire going and a very special hot chocolate bar just for all you Littles.”

“Oh. Em. Gee!” Daphne squealed. “This is awesome! Thank you so much, Mr. Oliver.”

“Eek!” Kiera exclaimed as she raced over to the chocolate station.

“Hold on there, Little girl, let me help you. That is going to be super hot water and I don’t want you to get burned.” Uncle Liam got to helping Kiera, and Daphne looked at them longingly.

“Would you like some help with your hot chocolate, too, Daphne?” He smiled at her.

“Uh-huh. Please,” she whispered, her cheeks burning.

After they had gotten their hot chocolate in special cups that weren’t hot to hold, they made their way to the romance section. There were so many books to choose from. She went for the darker Daddy stuff while Kiera went for the Little Daddy stuff. She loved that they could accept one another for their kinks and not judge how each other wanted to be Little. They still had so much in common, but Kiera just lived in a much younger headspace.

She picked out a couple of books that looked really cool. She was definitely one of those ‘judge a book by its cover’ girls. She knew she shouldn’t be, but if there was a sexy man or woman on the cover, she was all over it.

A new book in one hand and her hot chocolate in the other, she sat on the oversized couch and began to read. When she looked up, Kiera and Liam were snuggling and he was reading softly to her. She felt her eyes burn with tears as she thought about what she was missing. She wanted that.

Connor and Ryan approached, serious looks on their faces.

“It’s time to go, girls. Pick out whatever books you need and then we need to head back to the estate.”

Sensing this was definitely not the time to argue, she got the three books she had picked out and headed to the front. Mr. Oliver checked them all out, stating that Eamon had already taken care of any books the girls wanted.

She couldn’t wait to get back to the estate and curl up in the library and read in the comfy chair. It was her favorite place in the house.

Once outside, however, chaos ensued.

Screaming.

Shouting.

Gunshots.

She looked to her left, and they had shot Ryan in the head. There was blood everywhere. So much blood. Her stomach churned, and she screamed. Connor came to her side and tried to haul her back into the store when a shot rang out and he slumped forward. Screaming and crying, she ran. She didn’t know where she was going, just knew she needed to get out of there.

She didn’t see Liam or Kiera anywhere. The first couple of doors she tried were locked. Good; they needed to be safe, she thought. But it didn’t help her any. She kept trying to run down Main Street, trying to find a place to hide. She knew Eamon would be on his way down here soon and would find her. She just had to lie low.

“Well hello there, piggie.”

She froze at the sound of Diana’s voice. She was the bitch who ran the separate group chat just to talk shit about other people, especially her. That entire group of girls could rot for all she cared.

“What the fuck are you doing here?” It confused her more than anything.

“I came here to help Callum get you. Now, are you going to come willingly, or am I going to have to get mean?” she sneered.

“You can kiss my ass, you bitch.” She held her head high, not backing away. She wasn’t about to let this bitch win. She was stronger and braver than that.

“Hard way it is, then.” Diana laughed and came for her.

She wasn't going down without a fight, so she ran towards the street to try another building to hide in when a van flew down the road and pulled up next to her.

“Hello there, Little girl.”

Her blood ran cold, and she froze in her tracks. Callum. The asshole from hell had found her.

“I am NOT your Little girl. Eamon will find you and he will kill you. You won’t get away with any of this,” she yelled at him before someone shoved her from behind. Falling forward, she landed by the van. Hands grabbed her and tossed her in before she felt a tiny prick in her neck.
