So I’m changing the P.O.V for this chapter to
Mr. Collins (aka Benjamin Collins)
So you people would be thinking why I’m here that’s because I know you people think I’m such a bad person but let me tell you the reasons for it. I didn’t have any choice I had to do what I could do to keep my daughter safe. So let's start from the start before I married to my wife my family was just entering the international market so I had to be out of home for a lot of days there were very less days I was home as it is difficult to survive internationally with the growing competition so I had constant meetings with the clients. During this period I got the news of my wife being pregnant and me becoming father of two kids my joy was to next level those days I tried my hardest to be home and be with her during her needs. After the wait and longing of 9 months the day finally arrived when I could see my daughters yes we came to know that she was giving birth to daughters we named the elder Jessica and younger to be Emily but Nicole( Mrs. Collins) wasn’t happy when she saw Jess as she didn’t resemble any of us not even the distant family members. I loved both of them equally I just wasn’t able to show it to Jess how much I loved and cared for her it was not because I can’t but rather could not. Let me tell you the reasons as you already know Nicole was not happy as Jess was not like us. She was this beautiful bundle but only fault was that she didn’t look like us what's the big deal in that I didn’t understand till late but don’t worry you would know everything eventually so as I was saying Nicole was insecure but I knew better that she was my daughter a parent has that kind of feeling of knowing and you cant miss the instant connection that you have. As Jess grew up so did Nicole’s insecurity she would always say people gave her questioning stare and question her character when they would see Jess but what I couldn’t understand is that when you don’t give someone reason how will they question you but she made it clear that only Emily is to be treated as the daughter of the family. She even threatened that she would do something to Jess that would make me not even see her let alone meet her after a lot of fights and explanation I just couldn’t do it anymore I was still having meeting here and there and I knew that this women is capable of anything let them be blood or not and Jess was that thorn in her life but nothing mattered to me more than Jess being safe no matter what and no matter how even if it meant that I had to be a bad person in her life I would be. That is when I had to make the most difficult choice of my life. I had to keep someone by her side who can protect her and even take a stand in front of Nicole so I asked or more rather requested Ryan my bodyguard, PA or anything I wanted him to be I just don’t know I have this feeling toward him that I cannot explain and I knew he would do anything just because I asked him to. He was more than happy to take care of Jess in place of me and I couldn’t help but be jealous of him because she calls him Papa which should be me but if it was meant that she would be safe. Ryan reports me of everything he even says that she is smart and would understand. But I am not sure of it, what if she knows and will she hate me even more if that’s possible or will she understand as Ryan says. I know she is an underground fighter and its illegal but it doesn’t matters until she is happy and safe doing it. It doesn’t bothers me I also know that she is good with computers and all but what she doesn’t know is when she was young and won the first prize in such a competition a lot of people were after her both good and bad so I had to alter all her information about her. I even had to change her birth certificates with Ryan’s name on it. So what she doesn’t know wouldn’t harm her would it?
Now all I have to do is make sure her future is safe at the least I also know that nothing is for sure but there is no harm in trying. So I thought of the Williams they were number 1 in business and would be the best for her but this duo of mother and daughter wouldn’t let go of any good thing once I tried to take her to shopping as we had an occasion that’s what led to Jess being staying in the servants quarters we didn’t have it bad we had good quarters for them. In the end the Williams asked for Emily and Oliver to meet so they could know if they were compatible or not. I knew what a character Emily is so I was not sure if this would work and I didn’t even care they didn’t have any upper hand now I have seen all of their colors by now. By now you would be thinking then why is this man not doing anything so the reason is I know that they are more poisonous than a snake but I cant do anything until I make sure that Jess is safe only then will I be able to avenge my daughter.
Right now I am preparing a deal with the NJ Co-operations but the CEO is great at keeping their identity a secret but the CO-CEO is known, he is the son of the famous General over here Noah Stanford, oh and I know that he is a really good friend of Jess so I hope this works out and my girl will be safe and happy I will only take this last decision of her life on my own accord maybe then I can tell her everything. After all this is settled I’ll probably quit my position as the President and if Jess wants she can take over the position as I will give my major share to her. I know she is much wise and smart to do this once I even thought that she was the other CEO of NJ but I later dropped it out as she would have left when she came of age if she was the person but she didn’t.
I’ll do all I can for her my only hope is that she forgives me sometime in my life.
