Dawn's Pov. Thankfully, we didn't get caught while sneaking out but I was still scared because of the earlier behavior of Uncle Hunter. God knows what is going on in his mind. I hope he will keep me out of his mind always. Right now, we were going to the club in Simon's car. He was driving and Emily was sitting in the passenger seat like a princess while I sat comfortably in the back seat.He tried to talk to me but I ignored it brutally as I was still angry at him for making Emily his girlfriend. Ugh, I need to calm down. Tonight I am gonna have a lot of fun. I should concentrate on that and not think about stupid people.Soon enough, we reached the place and went inside without any problem. I was quite shocked as they let me in without checking my ID but who cares! "Go and enjoy. Don't bother me while I am having fun with my friends!" Emily told me and dragged Simon with her God knows where and I dragged myself to the bar counter.I sat down in a seat comfortably and waited for
Dawn's POV.Bright sunlight played with my face as I kept staring out the window of my hostel room, thinking deeply about my upcoming life, my future which certainly didn't seem like it was in my hands.Finally, high school is over but like everyone else, I couldn't be happy. I can't even think about happiness as I have to move back to the hellhole permanently from which I have been trying to escape for a long time.My life was never good staying in a boarding school as I constantly got bullied but it's better than living in a fake family where everyone hates you to the core.Today is the day I will go back to them and I don't know where my life will lead but I was hoping that I would be able to move out after earning a little bit of money after doing some odd jobs. My mom surely will not let me leave but she doesn't care for me anyway except for her reputation which she got after getting married into the wealthy Playford family after my dad's death.The person who loved me the most,
Dawn's Pov."My hand? Oh, it's nothing. Just a small injury. I fell off the bed and hurt myself! But I am fine." I lied nicely while laughing like I told a joke and he gave me a good, nice stare that I felt like running away.Then he again concentrated on his work, leaving me sad, wondering why he wasn't willing to talk to me. I never felt bad when the rest of the Playford family doesn't talk to me but I do feel hurt when he doesn't talk to me either.One thing I like about him is that he never says any rude words to me, though he appears cold but he is still nice in some way.Thank God, he isn't like his older brother, my stepfather. He is such an ass! But I am deeply shocked by the age gap they have, they don't look like brothers, more like father-son.I was in my Dreamland when suddenly my body jerked towards him and he quickly held me securely in his arms but I was frozen in shock because my lips were just an inch away from his cheeks. Because of that closeness, I realized how goo
Dawn's Pov. "Uncle, please stop, listen to me first!" I kept running behind him while he coolly went inside the mansion not caring about what I wanted to say.During the whole ride, I was in tension thinking what he would do with Anne. Will he really kill her? But why? I know she hurt me and she deserves punishment for that but not death.But what is more confusing is that, why would he kill her for me? Is he so affected that someone hurted me that he can go to the extreme of killing that person?"Uncle, wait!" I quickly matched his steps and tugged his arms back so that he could face me and he finally stopped and gave me a blank look."You were joking in the car, right?" I asked with fear."What do you think of me, Dawn? Do you think I will really do that?" His lips danced with amusement while he took a step towards me, bridging the gap between us."No, I know you are a good person!" I answered him confidently and in return, I got a chuckle from him.He came so close to me that I fe
Dawn's Pov.I started moving in the pool panicking as I didn't know how to swim. I could see death lurking around me and the assholes laughing at my state and I was hoping magically someone would appear and save me but that only happens in stories, right?I was getting out of breath and losing consciousness when suddenly someone tugged at my arm and waist, pulling me upwards to the surface. I started coughing to get my breathing steady, not bothering to take a look at my savior."Are you okay, Dawn?" The person asked me, I know this voice so I peeked at him.It was Simon, my childhood best friend. My all-time supporter and now, a savior. I flashed a dazzling smile at him and hugged him tightly, crying, feeling overwhelmed as I was almost about to die."WTF, Simon, you ruined all the fun!" Luca spoke angrily, looking at us."Have you gone nuts? She would have drowned and you only care about your fun!" Simon glared at him and we embraced each other more tightly but I jumped in my place
Dawn's Pov."Wh-hat is our relationship?" I stuttered asking him because of the proximity which was making it hard for me to think properly."We are–" He slowly started saying, looking deep into my eyes."We are–" I also said to make him elaborate, not having the patience."We are lov–" He started saying and my eyes turned wide not expecting his next words"We are loving friends!" He smiled at me and I heard something cracking, oh, it's my heart because it thought he was going to say, lovers.And I am so stupid to even think about that, why would he take interest in a little girl like me? He would definitely like tall, gorgeous, model-like figure women. Wait, doesn't he have a fiance already?"When did we become friends?" I couldn't help but ask because we are still not that friendly with each other.As much as I remember, he never talked to me properly when I used to come here for holidays then suddenly what happened to him? "It happened automatically!" He went back to his seat, mak
Dawn's Pov.I couldn't get that scene out of my mind all day, I just kept thinking about it again and again. I think I am attracted to Uncle Hunter, and that's why I am feeling jealous of his fiancee Bianca. He has got such looks that anyone would get attracted to him within a second. But I can't let anyone know about my attraction, especially not him. I seriously need to get a boyfriend to get true love, I also want to be happy in life like others. But where will I get a boyfriend?That's the moment I see Simon coming inside the mansion with a box of cupcakes for me, making me squeal in happiness. I quickly ran to him like an excited kid and took the box from him."Thank you so much, buddy!" I thanked him happily and placed a kiss on his cheek, making him chuckle.I was about to open the box to reveal the cupcakes when it was thrown off of my hands onto the floor, making me scream because of the sudden blow."How dare you, you filthy bitch!" I saw Emily cursing at me."What the hel
Dawn's Pov. "Mom, did you talk with Dad?" Emily asked sweetly to my mom and I felt a pang of hurt in my heart.I don't like it at all that she calls my mom like she is really her mom and on top of it, the way mom talks so sweetly to her and pampers her, it hurts me more. She never did all these for me when Dad was alive.Sometimes I wonder what if she was having an affair with Mr. Playford even before Dad died? It looks like that only as she wasn't really loving towards Dad though they had a love marriage."Yes, dear. I talked to him yesterday afternoon. Why are you asking?" Mom asked her sweetly and served her more of her favorite dishes while I kept munching the unknown Italian dishes with an angry pout."I called Dad a while ago but he didn't pick up. I just wanted to remind him that, not to forget the designer bag I told him to bring from my favorite luxury brand from France." Emily muttered in a sad tone and at last, gave me a side smirk, like trying to show off how much her fam
