3; Betrayal's child: Strategy.
Dani glanced at the note her father had left her this morning before taking his flight. Somehow, that morning felt like it was weeks ago.
Dani
I know I did the wrong thing
Let me make it up to you
Dad
That was all. In another time Dani would have felt lousy that her own father would be so cold with her. But now, not only was she used to it, but she also thought of it as an opportunity.
She took out her cell phone and dialed her father's number.
'Hello" a gruff voice said from the other side of the line.
"I get 4 horses of the racing stables, and if in 3 years they don't come trough, I stay and drop the subject. But if they do, I either join as a co-owner or leave with my stack" Her father seemed to know instantly who she was and what she was talking about.
"1 horse" he stated calmly.
Dani felt her body tense. One horse? Was he serious?
"3" she said. She hoped she sounded firmer than she felt/
"1" His father repeated in the same toneless voice/
"Two"
"Dani I don't have to make this deal" Dani felt frustration and anger shadow her. She knew he had her.
"Of my choosing"
"Avatar excluded"
"Fine' she said copying her father's tone.
"I'll mail you the contract by next week"
With that he hung up.
Dani smiled to herself. Somehow she knew something like this was gonna happen. Maybe that was why she felt an idea slowly crawl from her subconscious. It wasn't a certain win. But she would make it work.
AN: So this is about it. I'm planning to cover some more episodes and give them a twist of my own. (Kris and Junior won't be apart for long for instance) But what I really want to do is concentrate on Dani. I really enjoyed working on this over the week and hope you enjoy it.
But the bad news is. I am going back to school the day after tomorrow. Why fate? Why?
