Looking over as her world faded once more, her eyes connected with the cold dead ones of David’s before everything was black.
The last thought she had was at least she told Miles that she loved him right before she died.
CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
OLIVIA
It was like déjà vu when Olivia woke up. The beeping sound of the monitors and the smell of antiseptic flooded her senses the moment she tried to open her eyes.
She doesn’t understand how she got here. The last thing she remembered was the burning hot pain that moved across her abdomen before she fell and blacked out.
Olivia did remember though, seeing the eyes of David as she laid there thinking that those were her last moments. Oh god, what happened to him?
Where is he? Will he be coming for her again? The rapid beeping of the monitor at the head of her bed told her that she was quickly on her way to another panic attack.
“Shhhhh. You’re okay, Little Bunny. Daddy’s right here.”
There was no way he was here. She remembered him talking to her in the warehouse, but Olivia thought that she had been imagining things.
“Daddy?”
“Yes baby, Daddy is here. I need you to try to calm down orthe nurses are going to have to come in here and give you something.”
The next thing she knew, she was airborne again and he was getting into the hospital bed.
He laid her on his chest, picked up her hand, and placed it over his heart.
“Breathe with me, Little girl. Don’t worry about anything else but the beating of my heart and the breaths that I take.”
Determined to do exactly what her Daddy wanted her to do, Olivia turned her focus to feeling the rise and fall of Daddy’s chest and the beating of his heart under her fingertips.
“That’s such a good girl. You are doing such a good job.”
“Daddy, where am I?”
“You’re in the hospital, Little Bunny. You gave us all a scare.”
“What happened?”
“I won’t go into detail now, but you were stabbed in your abdomen by David. You were bleeding heavily when you got here, so they rushed you into surgery.”
“How did you find me?”
“Daddy told you he was never letting you go and I meant that. Nothing was going to stop me from finding my Little girl and bringing her home.”
“Am I still your Little girl?”
“As long as you want to be. Daddy loves you and wants nothing more than to spend the rest of my life with you.”
She let out a small gasp. He loved her? There’s no way that he could love her after she tore his heart to shreds.
“Do you mean that?”
“Mean what, Olivia?”
“That you love me? I don’t know how you could when I broke your heart. I was mean and lied. I don’t deserve your love.”
“Stop that nonsense right now. Is Daddy happy that you lied and tried to run from him? No, I’m not, but that doesn’t change the fact that I love you, Olivia Mae.”
