Chris didn't waste any time and ran away from the set. He didn't even care what he was doing at that time. Everyone starts screaming after his name, even there were some fans who were there just to see one glimpse of him. His bodyguards were trying their best to secure him. He was trying his best to run from there. When he succeeded he just sat in the driver seat and ran immediately, leaving everyone behind.

He was 4 hours away from his mom's home. He has his own house but he doesn't live on that. He was trying his best to reach home as much as he could. Lots of things were playing around in his head, how was she, did she miss him as much as he did. What will he talk about when he will meet her. How she is going to react, how will he ask forgiveness? Should he get on his knees or immediately hug her?

Oh, how he missed her touch, her giggle, their crazy K-pop moments, her eyes, her scent, her laugh, her innocence, how she used to run and hug him and how he used to pick her up and took her close to his neck.

His heart was doing summersault. It wanted to come out of his body and ran into her before his body reaches to meet her. He wanted to see her face, his beautiful flower.

He knew he hurt her badly, but he was also suffering all these years. All those moments when he was in his success, in his devastating time, his sickness, his happiness.

When he took Liliana for the first time in his arms, how he wished she was there beside him. But, he was happy that Sophie gave all the rights to Lily, for taking care of his little bundle of joy. But he was also scared because he knew his flower is not still the same as how she used to be.

Her father already told him that lily has changed for good. She is not that sweet lily anymore. She has become something else. But his heart didn't want to believe it, but he has his faith in his love. He just wants a chance to mend their broken things, just one chance.

Chris pov//

Finally, I reached home. So many emotions were going through my body, my mind, my heart. I was literally shaking, I was nervous, I was excited, over the moon but also scared to face her.

I am now standing in front of my home for quite a minute. I was thinking about how to greet her.

While I was busy, pacing outside my house suddenly, a car park in front of my house. I didn't recognize the car because it was not definitely one of mine or moms. Who's car is this?

Then my baby came out from the car and ran into my arms "papaaaaa" I took my baby into my arms

Then my baby came out from the car and ran into my arms "papaaaaa" I took my baby into my arms

(little Liliana)

I took her into my arms and spin her around and kiss her forehead which makes her giggle. She is my world, the second love of my life. She is my cheeky little bundle of joy who kept me sane while my flower was not here with me.

It's been 2 years since she became my energy boost. Just there is one person who is missing, who can complete our family and that is her mother Lily.

I was so busy with my baby I didn't realize there was someone else in that car and when the person came out from the car my breath just hitched by seeing her after all these years, she was there my lily, my little flower was there. When my eyes fell on her unconsciously her nickname escaped from my mouth in whisper "little flower."

She was looking so sweet and simple. She was wearing a simple flowery dress but it was looking too simple before her beauty, she is the most beautiful flower in my eyes and always will be. I was looking at her as if she is the only one in this world, the most exotic, innocent, beautiful flower, my flower and it's been years I have seen her but her beauty didn't change, even she became more beautiful. I was so engrossed with her presence, I didn't realize my baby was in my arm "papa" she started to shake me which made me get out of my dream zone "huh! yes, my little munchkin" "look momma, my momma' then I realize did she get to know everything? did she saw Sophie's video? will she accept Liliana? oh my goodness when her eyes fell on me her reaction changed from soothing to bitter. As if she is pissed off by my presence "papa, momma will stay with me, momma and lily will stay here with papa and gramma and granpa, right momma?"

What? She...she is going to be staying with us, am I hearing correctly? Will...she ... I can't believe it...I have to hear it from her own voice, its been years I have heard my sweet voice.

My baby started to wiggle in my arms "papa put me down" so I did and she ran off to her and she took Liliana into her hip "momma tell papa, tell him" "baby, momma will stay with you and gramma" "and papa, right momma?" her smile fade away and she looked into my eyes. Our eyes got locked, after so many years we looked into each other eyes. Her eyes were showing so many emotions that I can't figure it out. After some seconds she looked away and gave her all focus to Liliana."Baby at first I have to talk to your papa, right? so you go to gramma and for that, I have to put you down" but my baby hides her face into lily's neck "no, I wan to stay with momma" "do you know baby gramma made apple pie? but I think she will give it to grandpa.(sigh)what to do my baby cant eat her apple pie..." "no, me me, granpa and papa always eat my pie, no momma I eat" "ok then you go I am coming with papa, ok?" "ok momma" she put her down then she ran into our house.

I was so impressed. I mean if anyone saw them like this then they will definitely think that flower is Liliana's real mom. They only know each other for 24 hours but Liliana got so much attached to her. And on the other hand, my flower is so much affectionate to her, the way she was holding Liliana, caressing her hair, kissing her cheek, the way she was talking to her as if she was her real mother because real mom can behave like this towards her own child. But lily is the example of a woman, who did not give birth to a child yet, but she knows how to love a child, to give her all affection. If there is another woman instead of her she would have disliked that baby and lily knew what I and Sophie did to her but still she just accepts Liliana wholeheartedly and it feels like some heavy rock fell down from my chest. I was over the moon that she accept Liliana, but the question is what will happen to me, to us?

There was silence after Liliana left us to talk. We were now in my living room, there was so much distance where we have seated. But the distance has been created between us in these 5 years is way too much distance than this. I saw her observing the whole house, she was observing everything. I cleared my throat because I thought someone has to start to talk "how are you ?" that caught her attention "I am fine Christopher, how are you?" she said Christopher not Chris, the way she spoke my name it was clear that she is going to keep her promise which she made that night. She was asking me how I was? how I was...I became like a dry leaf who was flowing where the wind was taking me. Dont know where I was going, what I was doing...all those media, cameras, reporters, two-faced people always surrounding me, girls who were always trying to be in my pants because I am the Christopher Wilson, everyone knew about my daughter so some of sluts trying their best to become my wife but no one has the right except one. I know Sophie and I did the mistake to hurt her but all I want is to rectify my mistake. But is she ready to give me chance?

"I am fine lily, first of all, thank you so much for accepting Liliana, I can't express how I am grateful to you, I was so scared that you wouldnt have accepted her so easily after what we have done..." "Christopher you haven't done anything wrong actually it was me who did wrong" I was taken aback by her words, she didn't do anything wrong,no...my flower never did anything wrong, it was me all me "lily what are you talking about? you didn't anything wrong, it was us who betrayed you, you trusted us but we, especially I hurt you so much" suddenly she started to laugh, I got confused by her sudden outburst.

"Wha...haha..christopher do you really... I mean please its been 5 long years Christopher, I was damn naive. I was so engrossed with you at that time I never realized that you have your own choice, own priority. After all, it's your life and your choice, I might be your friend at that time but it doesn't give me the right to stop you or you have to ask me every time whenever making any decision. I mean thank god you chose your own way and I chose mine otherwise I would be clinging to you like glue. Now I have my own name, my own identity, I have some other priorities ..." she couldn't finish her sentence suddenly her phone rang. When she saw who called her she rolls her eyes as if you are kidding me type "speaking up priority, here you go. Sorry I have to receive this call " with that she went outside to receive. I didn't understand why she was behaving like this, I thought she would be screaming at me or at least slap me for saying those things to her that night but she did the opposite and I .was wondering who might have been calling her?"

Lily pov//

"Hey Val sorry I think I have to stay here I don't know for how long, so can you handle there for a couple of days?" there was full silence from the other side "Hello, Val? Hello...why aren't you speaking? Hello?" I think there might be a network problem "Val, I think you can't hear me, I will talk to you later, bye"

After ending the call I went into the living room again "sorry I had to attend this call, anyway what I was saying? oh yes, I came here for another reason, actually, I was about to leave from here after meeting dad but then I met Liliana and about Sophie. I am sorry for your loss. I know you must be thinking if I forgive you or not but I dont want to talk about anything whatever happened years before, I suggest that we should give all our focus on Liliana, after all, it's you and me she has. I know she needs me but you should know, that unlike you my life is not limited here.I mean I know you travel worldwide for your work, I know you are busier than me but if we want to raise her together I think we should make some rules, after all, I am not going to stay here forever"

I notice that he was listening to my every word with so much intensity but when I utter my last words his expression suddenly changed for a moment. If he thinks that I am going to rot my life here just because I love Liliana, that's totally wrong. I know she needs me and I will always be there for her whenever she wants but I can't stay here forever, not for anyone. This time I will live for myself, which I have been doing for the last five years. I dont want any emotional distraction in my life. I know I am harsh but when you live for others no one even gives a damn about what are you doing or how you are living or not even ask how are you feeling. They just get used to your sacrifice, they think that it's their right to rely on us and dont even care if we were getting hurt while making sacrifices for them. If he thinks that I am going to sacrifice everything for him or his daughter then he is wrong and I have to make this thing clear.

"Wha..t but you just saw that how she got so much involved with you. For her you are her mom, if you leave like this what will happen to her, I know what I am asking is not possible but at least you can try, please for her ..." "At first Christopher, I think you should know something before making your own assumptions. I want to ask you something, just one thing...if right now Sophie was here to raise her own daughter would you ever think of me or would you ever consider me for once? No, never. You would have never considered me to enter in your happy wife. Even you wouldn't have ever let me know about your daughter, let alone meet her. So stop thinking that just because she is not here in Liliana's life anymore, that doesn't mean you can give her position to me because for your clarification I am not going to accept. Ya, I love Liliana, I care for her, within a very short time she able to capture my emotion, and that's why I am here, otherwise, I would feel suffocated to be in here."

He was looking like he was about to cry anytime, he was about to come towards me "flower I..am sor..." "oh stop being childish and stop calling me a flower and all that. It irritates me and it's very much clingy...I have told you last time that just call me Lily, nothing else...I mean do you have amnesia or what?" I know I was being harsh but I dont give a damn, I have to show him the harsh reality." look, Christopher, I am here just for her sake and you might have to know the old lily but let me tell you, I .am.not.that.girl.anymore.I dont like to be around you. So dont make it difficult for both of us."

I think he understood whatever I was saying, so he carefully steps back. He was controlling his emotions but a lonely tear finds its way from his eye which hurt me a little because the man I knew he never before anyone except me. And if he cries that means he is torn from inside but I just shrugged it off, after all, he knew how to act, so he might be doing his emotional drama just to make me stay but I will not give up so easily." anyway, If you think I have become so cruel or what then yes I have become like this and I am no remorse but that doesn't mean I will be cruel to my daughter. So I have made some rules, if you agree with my conditions then we can talk peacefully otherwise I have plan B."

"Plan B? Ok, let's say that if I don't agree to your conditions then what will happen..." "Then I have to file for joint custody and she has to stay 2 months here and after two months she will come to me for stay. In this way, she will stay here for 6 months and the other 6 months she will stay with me." I know what I was saying doesn't make any sense because she is only 2.5 years old and we should not treat her like this but I have to do this so that he agrees with all of my conditions and ha have to otherwise he will see my wrath."

He was taken aback by seeing her harsh answers "what are you...I mean (sigh)please she is so little ...it will make her thinking that her parents can't stand each other and it will harm her way of thinking and she will lose her trust in a relationship and most of all it will hurt her little soul. Lily, I want to give her every love she deserves and also wants to give a normal family. Please flo...I mean lily think about her. I know what we have is not normal at all but think from her perspective. I know you dont like to be around me but please cant we try for her sake? Please I beg you ...at least for her sake. "

Now he is on his knees, I felt uneasy, hurt, overwhelmed by seeing him like this. It shows how he loves his daughter, that he can do anything for her sake. Liliana is very lucky to have him as her dad. The media, millions of fans who can give their everything for his one look, for his one interview. And here he is, kneeling in front of me, forgetting his status, his fame. The man I am seeing is just only a father of a cute little thing who also became a part of my life. At least he is truthful in some relationship, can do anything to keep that relationship alive where is no fakeness, where his fame cant come between them and I was glad that Liliana is lucky.

"Ok please, don't beg like this, I don't like it. If you stand up we can sit and talk like two adults." He stood up and wipe his tears and sat before me "well now first of all I am going to stay here for two months, for now. After that I will go back to Spain, to handle my work and will stay there for some time and don't worry I will come after a week later. Then I will stay for more than 2 months. So that means I will literally stay here and handle my work there, going back and forth from Los Angeles to Spain.

Then my second condition is that we will go picnic, amusement park but seperately. This means either you or I will go with her at first, then the other will join later. If anyone by chance sees us by chance or ask us something we will ignore or tell them that I am her nanny or some of your friend who is here to spend some time with you and Liliana. When the time will come we will inform everyone that I am her legal guardian. But for now, we should go like this then will think about something. My third condition is that I will stay at my dad's house, if she asked me to stay here then I will stay until she sleeps then I will go from here and come before she wakes up. You have to tell me about her routine so that can cope up with this.

And my last condition ..we might be behaving like any other normal parents before her but let me remind you, we will not, means absolutely should not be seen with each other, side by side in public. I don't want any single scandal with you. I am fine the way I am and some people from your world and from my world will not like us as together, especially from my world. I am happy with my own people and I don't want to make them upset by seeing with you.

"A..are you really do not want to be seen with me... Do you really that much uncomfortable to be with me?" I felt his voice was a bit shaky, he was having a hard time asking this. He still was the same while it comes to show his emotions. He might not be a crying person but his voice always shake when he has a hard time to talk his feeling but as I said, I can't. I just can't feel bad for him and why should I? when he didn't felt bad while uttering those words. No, not anymore.

So I clear my voice "let's not talk about other things, are you agree with my conditions?" He thinks deeply for some moments, hen I saw him taking a long breath. It always happens whenever he thinks deeply..oh god when will I stop talking about his old move. Ugggh sometimes I hate myself for this.

"Ok...I am ready for all of your conditions but don't leave her" "ok, let's see what she is doing, after she fell asleep I will go back to my dad then will come back in the morning. Ok?" He just nods with me. Though we get into terms, I think it will be difficult for me to behave normally around him and I don't know how will Jake react when he will hear about is staying here.

Chris pov//

The whole day passed like a second. My baby was so happy having her momma. Even lily was so gentle with her, so caring, she was observing her every little action, every little need. The lily who spoke to me she was not that lily knew but when I saw her with Liliana I felt like she is right there, my flower whom I know from childhood. I know I made her like that, I know she hate me but when she will hear everything I know she will come back to me, and we will make our own world, our beautiful paradise. I will give her that love which she once dreamed of. I will make my flower's life beautiful and sweet again.

When I beg her for Liliana it was not just for my baby, it was also for us, for her, for me. I was asking for little chance, a little bit more time to explain myself, to tell her everything. I knew she was not ready to hear me that's why I need some time from her and thank god she gave me 2 months. In these two months, I will show her that Chris is head over heels for her. Her Chris will get his flower back, that sweet lily will return for us...and this time I will not let her go anywhere, I will not leave her exchange of any damn thing again. I look at my baby who was sleeping peacefully with her little teddy which lily's favorite when she was little and now it has become Liliana's favorite. I caress her hair and kissed her forehead as a seal of promise. Promise her to get her mother for a lifetime and give her a loving family. This time I will protect, love, and fight for my girls so strongly that no one will dare to separate us and I will make sure of that...and this is my promise.

Well, Chris is making his promise to keep her in his arms for a lifetime but I was thinking he has no idea about the storm is losing his patience in Spain. So what will happen when Jacob will come to snatch her from him, will be able to keep his promise?
