Taemin's POV:

Kikah got a call early this morning and had to go to her office. So it was just me and Aurora.

Which was good, I loved our daddy daughter time. I decided to take her to the Gucci store as I had promised I would.

After that, I told the guys I'd bring her by the dorm. So they could spend some time with her too.

I parked the car, took RoRo out her car seat, and together we walked into the House of Gucci.

It was going great. I'm pretty sure Kikah must've had a talk with our baby about her spending habits, because she didn't really want too much this time.

Either that, or she already had everything there.

I was looking at a cute pair of his and her loafers, when Aurora tugged my arm.

Looking down at her, I smiled. "Yes princess?"

"I whant these two." She demanded, shoving two dresses up for me to see.

I looked down at them. They were cute, but I wasn't paying for Aurora to get two of the EXACT same dresses. She was already decked out from head to toe in Gucci right now, with the matching Gucci bag.

Why did she need to have two of the same dress?

Shaking my head, I explained. "Aurora, honey, those are the same dress. You can get one, but I'm not buying the other."

I was not prepared for her to look at me as if I was small. Cutting her eyes, she stuck out her bottom lip and threw a full-blown tantrum. Throwing herself onto the floor with her legs kicking, she let me see the full scale of her displeasure and for a second all I could do was stare.

This was NOT my little girl right now. Aurora never threw tantrums and I had no idea where this was coming from, but I was about to end it.

Bending down to her level, I looked her in the eye. Sternly, I commanded "Aurora, get up." Immediately, she complied an angry scowl etched her tiny face. "Go and put the dresses back. We're leaving. You don't throw tantrums and get pretty dresses. You know better and I'm so disappointed in you."

I don't know what the hell had gotten into her or who taught her that, but I know damn well it was not Key this time.

After I made her put back the dresses, we left and went to the dorms. I explained to Minho and Onew what had happened, as Aurora stomped all the way to Jonghyun and Key's room and slammed the door.

'She has her mother's temper, that's for sure. She probably holds grudges like her too.'

Kikah's grudge holding ability was on par with a Korean revenge movie. The villianess didn't have shit on my girl once someone got on her bad side. Krystal could attest to that.

Sighing, I walked to the door. Intent on talking to Aurora some more about her behavior, but Key had beaten me to it.

I stood by the door and listen to their conversation.

"Princess, your daddy's right. I don't know why you thought it was a good idea to even do that." Scolded Key, shaking his head.

Aurora shrugged her shoulders, as tears began to fill her eyes.

"Crocodile tears won't work this time Aurora." Added Jonghyun softly, as he folded he's arms. "Not only was that not a very nice thing to do. It wasn't very princess like either."

Squaring his shoulders, Key reprimanded. "That's right. It wasn't very princess like at all. Princesses don't throw petty tantrums because they can't get something right then. There's no need to. Eventually, you always get what you want and all that effort could've been used for something more positive. You threw one and still walk away with nothing, honey. All that energy could have been put to much better use."

Tears stemming down her little face, Aurora asked "Like whet?"

"Well for, starters--" advised Jonghyun. "You need to be a big girl and tell your daddy your sorry."

I didn't want them to know that I had been eavesdropping in the doorway. So, quickly, I left and walked back into the living room. Sitting on the couch I turned on the T.V. and waited.

They all came out and walked right past me. Instead, going straight into the kitchen.

I heard water and ingredients being taken out. I guess they were going to cook. About 20 minutes later, there was a tap on my shoulder. Turning to look, I came face to face with a plate of cookies, and Aurora.

"I sworry daddy" she apologized quietly.

Taking the peace offering, I took a bite out of one of the cookies, and beamed. "These are so good princess." Pulling her onto the couch with me, I changed the channel to Pororo. "If you want, I could go back and get you the dress." I offered.

"No. dats okay." Declined my baby. Then explained. "Uncle key said, onry fat mishwaped ugwy trwolls ware polo dresses anh I not a fat twoll. I ghot cute shape." (1)

Before I could stop myself, I burst out laughing.

I couldn't help but wonder, how Kikah's day was going.

Kikah's POV:

Someone had broken in to one of my stores. It was completely trashed! There was glass everywhere and all the shelves had been knocked over. At first, the police had thought it was a robbery. That, however, changed once they checked the registers and safe. All the money was still there. Everything was accounted for, nothing had been stolen.

I spent over an hour talking with police about possible enemies I may have.

'This is a nightmare!'

After boarding up what was left of my store, Evaine' and I headed to the office to meet Irene.

We spent the next few hours tying to set up new security measures. We had to ensure that this was NOT going to become a problem later on.

Someone had gone out of their way to send me a message and it was as clear as day. This, was personal. I had clearly pissed off someone and they wanted to get to me the best way they knew how, by going after my business.

I quickly signed off on hiring more security guards and having more cameras installed outside each store.

Irene would personally make sure that everything was up and running before the end of the day.

I needed a glass of wine after this day. I finally left the office a quarter past 6. I was going to talk to Taemin and tell him what happened. Just in case, it was that hoe NaEun up to her old tricks.

'Lord give me strength not to beat her ass, if it was.'
