Xavier's Point Of View
"Who is that girl Xander?" Father asked, I narrowed my eyes when Xander laughed nervously scratching his neck back. What the hell did he do this time?
"I know you love girls, but that is a child." I said darkly. Xander choked and looked at me in disbelief.
"I don't care about that, what if she is a spy?" Father asked glaring at Xander, who only sighed. As expected, they didn't care what we did, as long as it didn't affect our status and the mafia.
"Chill! I'm not a pedophile." Xander said glaring at me. I crossed my arms, knowing damn well he's not one.
Xander placed his hands on my mother and father's shoulders "And mother, father, you know I'm not that careless! I found her on the streets a few hours ago, but there's something interesting about her." He said patting their shoulders.
He walks over to me "And what's that?" Father asked "She's Gabe's kid." I darkened at the name mentioned "You mean Gaberiel?" Mother asked and looked at father.
"Though, she looks absolutely nothing like Gabe." Xander said and slaps my upper back "She's a lot like Xavier instead!" He exclaimed, they look at me.
"You're saying?" I asked glaring at him "I don't know.. she could be your daughter?" He suggested.
I grabbed his collar in anger "Xavier had only one woman." Mother said "Liana." father said "Don't say her name!" I snapped at him, then glared back at Xander.
"I've only slept with Liana, I never got her pregnant!" I snapped "Are you sure?" Xander asked, I had to pause.
Am I sure?
Xander rolled his eyes and shakes out of my grip "Why suddenly frozen?" He asked grinning. I glared "Just because she looks like me, doesn't mean she's my daughter. She's my niece." I said shoving my hands in my pockets.
"She's not his daughter." Father suddenly said. We look at him "How do you know that?" I asked, mother then spoke "Gabe cannot have children of his own, due to his illness."
Right.. How could I forget that? Gabe has Klinefelter Syndrome.
"Well she's not mine, or Dan's, that's a certain. So we would need to do a DNA test." Xander said. I look at the door which leaded to Xander's room.
The doctor suddenly comes out "How is she?" Xander asked immediately "A large piece of glass managed to stab her in the back, while she was trying to run away. She was lucky it didn't stab anywhere deadly." The doctor said.
"I see. I want you to do one more thing." Xander said, and looks at me. I sighed
"Fine. Let's get this over with."
Time Skip
"Mister Knight, it's a match. She is your daughter." My eyes go wide, in pure shock.
No.. Did I get drunk and cheated on Liana?
I shook my head, there is no way I did that!
"As expected." Xander said unamused "Xavier." Father said. I look at him "Since you do have a daughter, it is important you take her in." father said.
If this girl is my daughter..
"No." I said. Xander glanced at me.
"Send her back. I don't want her in the mafia. Xander's kid would take over as Don, as should. So it's not necessary to keep her in this awful world." I said and then walked for the door.
"Xavier wait!" Xander exclaimed and held my arm "What?" I spat in question
"I know it's hard to accept.. but you can't throw her away like that! Do you really want to leave her to Gabe?" He asked, I dragged my arm from his hold.
"It's better than being involved with the mafia."
If this girl is my daughter.. I must protect her. This is the only way.
"Why don't you look at the works Gabe did to her?" Xander asked, getting irritated.
I look at him "What kind of works?"
He lead me to the girl. He revealed several scars on her body, they were anything but small.
"Gabe abuses her. You knew why she was on the streets in the rain?" He asked, I look at him "Say it already."
"He kicked her out of the house. She ran away and when I found her, she begged me not to send her back." He explained.
My fist clenched "The question is, why would he abuse her? Doesn't sound like Gabe, since he's desperate for a child." Xander said.
I slowly sit on the edge of the bed. I run my fingers on her scars "Gabe hates me. I conclude, he knew she was my daughter, and took advantage to treat her poorly, because he hates me. He took out his hatred for me on her.."
"Bro you're bleeding."
I stopped clenching my fist, seeing blood pouring out of my palm. I touched her face.
How dare he?
I stood "Xavier?" Xander asked "Gabe.. You are saying, for the past thirteen years... He's been abusing my daughter?" I asked darkly.
"Yeah.."
I grabbed Xander by the collar "I WILL HUNT HIM DOWN AND SKIN HIM ALIVE!"
"AHH please don't kill me!!"
I let the i***t go paced back and forth. I took my gun out.
"Oh.. hell NO! Not again!" Xander yelled and ran out of the room slamming the door.
I glanced at her, Lucinda. I threw the gun away trying to calm down.
She twists and turns in her sleep, ending up sleeping on her belly.
She's a very deep sleeper, just like her mother..
I groaned and sat beside her. I touched her bandaged wound. She almost lost her life because of me.. Why the hell couldn't I control my anger?!
I held my head, starting to feel a headache.
I should be careful around her, and that Gabe.. how did he even get his hands on my daughter?
If Gabe was behaving this way, I must keep Lucinda with me.
She's only safe with me, and me alone.
I stood, feeling like I cooled off. That was quick.
I took her up bridal style, and stared down at her face.
My and Liana's daughter.. I promise I'll protect her, Liana.
