Bound By His Daughter

CHAPTER 3

He didn’t know what to do because Bea wasn’t here for him to yell some senses into her. He was so mad at her he wanted to take it out on a punching bag. And that was exactly what he did.

He told Claire to cancel all his appointments for the day and he left. He got home, went to his room and stripped down to his briefs pulling on a black pair of joggers he went to his gym downstairs and punch the shit out of the punching bag as he let his thoughts run through his head, haywire.

He couldn’t do anything to change the past. What’s done was done. All he could do was look for his daughter, by all means necessary.

He got on his phone half an hour later and dialled Tom who answered on the third ring.

"I need you to look for someone for me, Tom" He told him.

"Who?" Tom asked.

Ceaser sighed heavily rubbing a towel down his neck

"I don’t know." He said knowing how stupid he sounded at the moment.

Tom stayed silent on the other end of the line.

"Any detail about this person?" He asked.

"I'm the only family she has." Ceaser said as if that would help Tom find her.

"Okay. What do you know about this girl...or woman?" He asked clearly hopeless.

"Today's her birthday...and she's my daughter."

Silence

"Oh."

‘Oh’ was right.

The elevator dinged open and she got out walking into the lobby of the children’s department.

They were the ones who resurfaced her dream of adopting and promised to be there if she needed their help and for that she was entirely grateful to them.
