CHAPTER 7
Lance POV
Ever since I received that letter I’ve become more cautious of my action, not for myself but for my daughter. Yes, Shaniya is officially my daughter, I don’t know how Liam do that in a short period of time. I’ll always go to work and aunt Nimfa will be the one who taking care of Shaniya. And also, Blake and I were getting closer and closer… they’re always in coffee shop with his friends who became my friend as well especially Kalen who always teases me with Blake… even Liam who is the one told me to stay away from him is also teasing me… Clint is so naughty he always teases Kalen to Liam… and Liam told me about his preferences that he is attracted to boys but Kalen is the most attractive among them… but for me I only like Blake not another boys… so I told him that it is okay, it’s normal were free to choose who ever wanted in our life, because love has no gender at all, if you feel with your same s*x, then grab it before its too late. So, he hugged me when I said it to him, he nearly cries when I don’t have a reaction of his confession… so were seating right now here in the coffee shop and its already 4pm in the afternoon and the customer is getting less, so we decided to take a break and have some chats.
“how was Shaniya?” Kalen asks
“she’s getting better and getting bubbly because of his cuteness” I said while smiling
“and aunt Nimfa is so happy because Shaniya is so gentle and kind.” Said Liam
“wow! When will can I meet her… I can’t wait to squish her checks.” Said Clint but they don’t know someone will come and when I her voice calling me…
“papa!!! I miss you!!!” said Shaniya and she came to hugged me. And she also hugged Liam since she knows Liam… while this three is there first time to saw Shaniya… so, I called Shaniya and introduce her to them.
“princess this is Uncle Clint, Kalen and Blake.” I said to her
“hello!!! I’m Shaniya the beautiful.” She said while smiling at them.
“can I hug you Shaniya.?” Said Clint and my daughter go to Clint to hug him
“your so cute Shaniya.” Said Clint and he squish her checks.
“come here also Shaniya.” Kalen said and he also go to Kalen… and then to my surprise he goes to Blake and hug him and kiss his checks… and I got shocked for my daughter words to Blake
“you’re so handsome, I like you already.” Said Shaniya and she sit on the lap of Blake instead in the chair.
“hey princess don’t sit on the lap of Uncle Blake.” I said to her
“no, it’s okay let her be sit on my lap.” Blake said and he carry Shaniya on her lap. It is good to see them interact with each other… the I looked to Kalen who gives me a teasing look. We talk and talk while Blake and Shaniya are busy chitchatting with themselves.
Xander POV
The feeling that you are near with your love ones is so warming, especially with this little girl who is sitting my lap… they are busy talking while this little girl keep on asking me so many questions.
“Uncle do you have a boyfriend?” she said to me in a whisper… cute just like his father
“no, I don’t have.” I said to her in a whisper also
“really?!!! Then you can court my papa.” She said while smiling and I got stunned where did she learned it.
“where did you hear it.?” I said to her
“hmm… it’s just only me Uncle because the way you look at papa earlier.” She said while giggling… my gosh this kid why so smart.
“do you approve if I court you papa.?” I asked her
“yes, of course I will, maybe papa also like you.” she said… I love this little girl… she can make my heart warm
“you’re cute.” I said to her
“of course, I ‘am… by the way Uncle I have something to tell you.” she said to me
“what is it.?” I asked her
“there’s someone who following us now when we come here and when my papa is not around there’s someone who will looking at our window… I didn’t told papa that because it might scare him.” She said… what the f**ck that’s the only words that I say… I must discuss it to them later except Lance I don’t want him to get scared again… if it’s you who did that, I swear I will not be hesitating to kill him in my own hands. I looked outside and then I saw a car that have been slowly driving while the window is opened and when he looked at me he smirked and he drives fast… sh*t its really him… why did he do that…I need to protect them now…then suddenly my phone beep.
“you think you can hide it to him, of who really you are? One day he will know and he will leave you just like of what she did…if I were you stay away from him or you will be in danger.” That’s the message that I’ve read right now…do you think that I’m scared of what you did? Sorry but you don’t know me the way you did. I’ am more dangerous than you and I swear that I can get his brother from you… mark this in your head Brix, I will hunt you and bring you down, now that I know that is you I will not let anyone harm my love ones, not even you.
Liam POV
I saw what happened right now… I know it was not him… Clint was wrong it not him who did that letter It was his older brother because they have the same built of body and the same penmanship they can passed as twins but he is older than him… the way Xander looked at the window I know it was him, the way he looked at his phone I know it was him also. I will be discussed it later with Xander about this situation and also, the two idiots will join the meeting also except Lance…we continued to talked even though we know from ourselves that there is something wrong… after an hour we took Lance and Shaniya to their apartment and we see them to enter their apartment and Xander called his men to watch out the apartment of Lance if someone act differently. We straight head to the hide out and discuss what will we going to do.
“Clint it’s not him, it’s his big brother.” I said
“what.?” He said
“yes, it’s not him…because they have the same face.” I said to him
“we need to protect Lance and Shaniya.” Said Blake
“yes, true because Blake saw him earlier while were talking but I saw how Blake face into cold one.” I said to them
“and Shaniya told me something.” Blake said
“what is it.?” Kalen said
“there is someone who always following them and always looking to their apartment that’s why I asked my men to watch out there and report to me if something happened differently” I said to them
“what?!! Shaniya saw it?” Liam
“yes, and she said she didn’t tell her papa so that he can’t be scared again.” I said to them
“we need to have a plan.” Said Clint
“what is it?” I asked
“we need to be Lance bodyguard.” Said Clint
“how?” Liam said
“live in the same house just like that to be sure that he is safe and Shaniya.” Said Clint
“okay which house will be going to live?” Kalen said
“my house.” I said to them
“so how we convince him to live with us.?” Clint asked
“I can do it… I know how we can convince him to live with us.” I SAID with a smirk in my face… what kind of strategy that I will going to do with him just to make him say yes to live with us.
Xander POV
Since our hideout has a room we sleep here since they don’t bring their car. I go to my room and before I go to bed I washed my face and after that I lay down to my bed and keep thinking. This past few months that we’ve known each other, me and Lance have been close… he tells me about his little brother and I swear I will find him, but I have an idea where he is… and also, I’m the one who make the adaption fast as it can be, of course with the help of my dad. And he is calling right now so I answered it…
“hello dad, what’s up.?” I said to him, I miss my dad we’ve never getting alone at each other this past few months.
“I’m okay son…how about you are you okay?” he said to me
“I’m okay also dad.” I said to him
“is your heart already taken?” he asked me teasingly
“no, dad but I know someday it will.” I said to him honestly… soon dad it will and
“do you totally move on?” he said to me that makes me stunned
“I guessed dad.” I answered him
“guess? Make sure your really move on before entering another relationship son because in the end you will hurt that person.” Dad said…
“yes dad.” I said to dad…
“okay! Take care I’ll hung up now, bye son I love you.” said dad
“you too dad, take care, love you too.” I replied dad… and he hung up the phone… dad is right… but the question is that have I really move on about her? and the answer is I don’t know, I’ll just go with the flow, but the only thing I know I love him, and I fell into sleep.

I ordered my of my staff to stalk to my son’s doing and I’m impressed about my son improvement since he meet that boy, I’ve never see him smiling like that… since his mother died after giving birth of him, he is so sweet child way back before he get hurt by that girl… ever since I don’t like her for my son but I tried to understand my son’s happiness… but after she leave my son, my son got colder and never smiles the way he is. It’s been three years since that incident happened. Now my son is starting again I don’t want anyone who will ruin he’s happiness… I will do everything that I can just to see him smile like that again… especially when Lance and that girl were together because they look like a family… and I getting goosebumps and I feel like I’m a teenager again… I know also that Lance brother is missing for more than 10 years so I ask a private investigator to investigate the reason why his brother got missing from his late parents, I must do something that it would help him to get reunited to his little brother. I called a person who I trusted the most and he is willing to find this Lance brother. and I lay down to my bed and fell asleep.

Clint POV
Hi everyone, first of all I want to thank you author for the first time POV, and by the way I’m Clint Mendoza one of the members of Black Phoenix gang… this shocking happening right now is so scary… why did they targeting Lance? I there something that happened in the past? Because if it is then what is it? we need to protect Lance at any cost… I thought you’re the one who did it… so it means your not the person who I meet this last 2 years. Sh*t!!! Liam need to convince Lance to live with us so that we can protect him at any cost. Tomorrow we will start to work in the coffee shop of Liam and Shaniya will be in Liam’ s house for tomorrow… I wish Lance would agree of what will Liam will tell. In this past few months that we’ve been through we became close. I fell asleep since tomorrow will be tough day for us.
In the next morning I’m the one who got up first so I cooked for our breakfast, even though I was born in a golden spoon I’ve never become a spoiled brat, because dad will surely smack me in my head. He trained me to become independent of my own, so that’s why I know how to cook, even household chores I can do it, here in our hideout it just like a house that far away from the city… the outside you will tell that is an abandoned house but it’s not because when you go inside it’s different of what you saw outside and in the inside… after I finish cooking and do my morning routine. When I’m done they are all in the kitchen now and we started eating because were going to be late for our first day of work. After we eat we grab our things and hurriedly go the car. Kalen will be the driver now and we went inside then he start the car and procced to the coffee shop.
