Luciana's daughter is Daniella

     Heidi’s POV

“I don’t wanna see you!” I yelled from inside my room at my dad who stood outside my door, trying to get me to unlock the door.

I was too mad to face him. I just couldn’t or I could end up saying things I shouldn’t say.

“My love. I promise that I’m sorry you had to see that, okay?”

“I don’t wanna see you!” I yelled again, took off my shoes and threw it at the door.

“Okay! Come down when you are calm! I love you!”

Everything was silent after that, and I breathed in, trying to calm my nerves.

I laid down on the bed, the image I saw downstairs refused to leave my head.

My stomach growled and I knew I had no option than to go downstairs. I was famished, I didn’t eat lunch at school.

I was getting into my purple t-shirt when my phone began to buzz. I got to it, and saw it was Lucas who was calling.

I folded my arms, staring down at the phone. So, now what? After taking sides with his new little girlfriend, he finally realized he had to call me?

I picked up the call anyways just to hear what he had to say.

“Come on, Heidi. Why are you being this way? Why did you leave like that?” Came Lucas’s voice from the other side of the line.

“You expected me to stand there, and watch you take sides with her, isn’t it?”

“I wasn’t taking sides, Heidi. I was merely telling you to stop directing everything back at Daniella. What has she done anyway? Why don’t you like her, huh?”  

“I don’t like her because she has come between us…” I stopped talking, remembering that I wasn’t supposed to let all my hatred show for Lucas to believe whatever I say about Daniella.

 It would be dangerous for me to let him know how much I hate that white doll.

“Heidi? Are you there? Answer me.”

“I don’t have anything else to say, Lucas. It’s obvious you’ve forgotten about everything we’ve shared ever since we were born all because of Daniella or whatever her name is…”

“Come on! Daniella again?” Lucas cried from the other line.

“I’m hungry, Lucas. If you really wanna talk to me, come over here and without your Daniella.” I cut the line, threw my phone angrily on the bed.

I walked into the kitchen, and couldn’t believe who I saw mixing flour in the kitchen!

The woman who’s out to steal my father’s attention.

I stood in front of the door, staring at her. “What are you doing here?”

She turned and flashed me a bright smile. “Oh hi! I’m Luciana. Your dad already told me your name, and he told me what you like. I’m also hungry so, I thought I should make something nice for all of us.”

I laughed, really amused at her gut. I came into the kitchen, staring at her. “I can’t believe you actually came in here to touch things that aren’t yours. This isn’t your house!”

Luciana still had that annoying smile on her face, and it annoyed me the more. “Stop being so tacky. I’m only trying to build a good relationship between us since your father and I are soon gonna be married.”

My heart momentarily stopped beating. “What did you say?!”

Luciana smiled and I felt like slapping it off her face. “You heard me my darling. Your father and I are very much in love, and we are gonna be getting married very soon.” She replied with enthusiasm.

I felt like screaming in tears. I held my breath, hoping this was all a dream, but it was not. It was real. Dad was getting married and didn’t dim it fit to tell me.

“My father is never gonna marry you. He has a wife!”

“Who left him when you were so little. Isn’t it?” Luciana cut in. “Well, my daughter is joining us for dinner this night. She will be here shortly so you girls can get to know each other too.”

“Aren’t you listening to me! I don’t want you or your daughter in my house!” I yelled at her.

That stupid smile was still on her face. “I know what it feels like to get your mommy replaced, but don’t you worry, I’m not gonna try and take her place.”

“Well, that’s what you are doing right now, you don’t to pretend. I will never allow you come between my father and I. Never.” That being said, I turned and walked out of the kitchen, fuming.

I found my way to the mini fridge in the dinning room, took out the half pack of sliced bread, a jar of peanut and walked straight to the living room.

I met dad sitting on one of the sofas, his eyes fixed on his favorite program. He turned to look at me as I sat down across from him.  “Heidi…”

The doorbell rang, interrupting dad from what he wanted to say. “I wonder who that is.”

“Luciana’s daughter, I guess. She has been directed here.” Dad replied, standing up on his feet.

The bread in my hand fell to the ground as I stared up at him. “Dad? What did you say?” I stood up on my feet.

“Can you just calm down, Heidi? Give them a chance. If you aren’t tired of staying alone, then I am!”  Dad raised his voice at me, leaving me speechless.

He walked into the hallway, I heard him unlock the main entrance, ushered in the intruder and together they both came out into the login room.

At first, I didn’t want to look at the so called daughter. I was at the verge of tears, I was extremely mad to look at anyone, but then she suddenly called me with her familiar voice.

Slowly, I turned. And came face to face with DANIELLA!

Daniella! The same Daniella who is trying to break my bond with Lucas!

Dad was staring at me. He must have noticed my reaction.

I stared at her, more speechless than ever. “You?” It’s her. Daniella is Luciana’s daughter? Then these people are certainly sent into my life to frustrate me!
