HIS STRANGE DAMSEL

‍️ ALICIA’s POV ‍️

“Huh? What do you mean Alicia!” Mom yelled.

“C’mon mom, aren’t you tired of living this kind of a life? Besides, my father needs to know that he has another daughter.

I need a father in my life mom, you know how badly I’ve always wanted a father.

How I’ve always asked you repeatedly about my father.” I cried out and stood up from my chair.

I was so pissed off. Why would mom act that way?

“Look Alicia, I didn’t tell you about your father because I want you to go to him, but rather, I told you because I thought it was time you knew the truth.

I didn’t tell you about your father because I want you to start living with him and living a wealthy life.

You aren’t gonna meet him or tell him who you are!” Mom barked angrily, her face all red from anger.

“I don’t care if you approve it or not but all I know is that, I’m gonna go meet my father and tell him the truth.

He deserves to know.

I’ve been living an uncomfortable life and now that I know my father is wealthy, I wouldn’t let the opportunity of living wealth slip from my hand.

For so many years mom, you deprived me of so many things. You deprived me of my father – I never experienced the love of a father.

You deprived me of living in wealth and living a comfortable life, just the way I’ve always wanted.

You’re being so selfish and unfair mom!” I cried out and ruffled my hair angrily.

“I’m not being selfish and unfair okay? I’m doing this for your own good. I’m doing this to protect you!

Do you think his family would gladly welcome you with open arms?

Do you even think your father is gonna accept you? What about his wife and daughter?

Be reasonable for once Alicia! You have to think through it before you finally come up with a final decision.

You don’t just expect the family to welcome you wholeheartedly, that’s not possible!” Mom snapped, pacing to and fro while grandma watched us silently.

I sighed lowly, seeing reason with mom said.

But still, I really need to see my father and let him know he has another daughter – and that is me.

“I don’t care mom! I’m going to meet him.” I rolled my eyes dramatically.

“You don’t even know what your father did to me! You don’t know the pain he made me go through!

You don’t know what he made me go through! You don’t just know!

I raised for so many years, trying my best to provide for you the little way I could.

I made sure I didn’t neglect you or made you feel the vacuum of not having a father– I was both a mother and a father to you!

And now because you know your father is wealthy, you decided to do what you think is right without caring about my feelings – without thinking of how I’ll feel about your decision.”

” Well, whatever your decision is, then it’s none of my business!”

DELANEY’s POV

I giggled happily as Xavier drove in a high speed on the road.

We had eaten dinner earlier and Xavier’s mom had helped me dressed.

She was so happy when I told her about Xavier taking me out.

She made sure she beautified my face even if it was a little bit dark.

I allowed her work magic on my face and hair.

We chatted happily as we watched the slow waves from the sea.

The place was cold and different persons were there too.

We sat on the cool beach sand and watched the sea. It was a beautiful sight and I couldn’t help but grin happily to myself.

“It’s cool right?” I asked Xavier and pointed at the sea.

“Yeah. It’s a lovely sight especially at night like this.” He smiled lightly.

“And the stars made it more beautiful and magical. It’s really a beautiful sight to behold.” I giggled lightly and took my gaze to the twinkling stars.

They shone brightly on the sea, making the sea sparkle.

“I’m glad you like this place.” He whispered with a small smile.

“Thank you for bringing me here.” I smiled and snuggled up closer to him – and I was surprised and happy, that he allowed me to.

HERA’s POV

I sneaked out of the house in the night – it wasn’t entirely dark.

I wanted to see if I could get to meet someone that knows Delaney and where I can find her.

As I walked absent-mindedly on the road, I didn’t know a moving car was coming close to me, till I landed not too hard on the floor.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

I winced lightly and got up. Thank goodness, I didn’t sustain serious injury but there was a little scratch on my elbow and knee.

The door of the car opened. I strained my eyes in the darkness and the cute male I had seen on the TV and also reality, was walking towards me.

I smiled shyly and moved closer to him too.

“Why didn’t you watch where you were going to? You’re so clumsy!” He grumbled, staring at me.

“I’m sorry.” I apologized, not knowing exactly why I had apologized.

He looks grumpy and arrogant but still, he looks so beautiful and that was what had drawn me to him, especially those beautiful eyes.

“Take, treat yourself in case you sustained any injury.” He said rudely and squeezed some money in my palm.

Without saying anything, he walked back gracefully to his car.

I stood agape as I watched him enter into the car.

As the car drove away, my eyes caught with a girl in the car and because the car moved slowly, I got a clearer view of the girl.

And oh my!

“Delaney?” I yelled in shock but the car sped off.

“Delaney!” I screamed again as I ran after the car.
