"What's wrong?" She heard him asked, but had no response to give him. There was more to what she was feeling. How can she tell him she's falling for him? That's just too much for her, she knows she can't have him but telling him the truth will only make things worse causing her even more pain. "Nothing, master," said Smiles with hea lowered. She can't possibly look at him right directly, or she will be exposed."Really?" He asked again. This felt weird somehow.Why was he eager to know how she feels?Or has he found out about her true feelings for him?She swallows, shaking her head in denial.He walks to her, tilting his head to the side as if trying to figure out something about her.He stood tall before her, staring down at her as if trying to figure her out."Get up" his sudden command startled her but she quickly responded.She met his hot gaze staring at her unwaveringly, there was just so much to it than she could tell.He just kept on gazing down at her, not saying anythi

"Yes child…I am fine" he touched her cheeks, smiling at her."Excuse" he turns and walks away. Smiles could only stare at his back confused. One minute he is fun and happy, the next he is sad and looking all regretful."No doubt he's Derrick's dad," she thought, taking her seat."Ladies and gentlemen…I call you all here today to join me in welcoming my daughter, whom due to misunderstanding, she got separated from us but now, she is in our midst…with us, looking as beautiful as ever," he said. The crowds start murmuring, asking questions upon questions. Some are eager to see who that daughter is, others talking about his past story, on how he lost his wife and child while others wish they were the one to be called the little Ms of the Wright's family."I know you all must be wondering who this person is but not to worry, she is here with us…like I said, she's in our midst but we will introduce her…though not now. To begin this wonderful celebration, let's have a toast for finally bein

It wasn't like there was something she could do but it pains to know she died giving life to her and she didn't have the chance to say 'thank you' and to even let her know how much she loves her for everything."And me…how did I end up in the orphanage?" She asked in between her sobs. Mr. Wright stares at her, unable to speak. What was he to say? That he chased her mom away with her being pregnant for him?That he was misled and made a terrible mistake? Like, who the fuck will accept such an excuses?"This is not the right place to discuss this…can we all go inside?" Derrick said, breaking the awkward silence."No…I want to hear it all, here and now" Smiles interjected, unwilling to let go. She's been asking herself this question for what seems like a hundred times but never got an answer to it.At first, she was mad at her mom, thinking she left her in the orphanage because she didn't want her. She was wrong to quickly just her mom and she regrets it after hearing the reason behi

"She meant everything to me child…and I regret my actions, there has never been a day I don't blame myself for everything" He explains honestly."Was…it true? The accusations?" She asked in a staggered voice."No! It wasn't…it was a set up plan, and she was innocent…a victim to it all" this now only gets her even more confused, as she stares at him for more explanation."Dorah set her up…that night, she slept with a man in that hotel, and that man was no other person but me…I was the one who slept with her and I chased her saying she cheated on me…I thought it was Austin, 'cause he's always been in love with her even before I met her…she chose me, to spent her eternal, to love and adore yet I failed her in the simplest of things, that I promise to be…I failed to become " Smiles listening to him now was a heartbreaking sight, but something still didn't feel right.How could he have been the one yet couldn't remember?And what's Austin's connection with her mom?Thinking about it, her d

"You're alright?" Asked Lisa concern as she stares at the confused figure before her " you can talk to me" she urges.Keane couldn't describe how he was feeling. Nothing was right. Lisa cops on his face, hoping to get his attention.."I am here… talk to me" she begs pulling him even closer. Her scent only irritated him the more. So much as he wanted to let her comfort him, he just couldn't bring himself to. He grinds on his teeth " I am fine" he tells her sternly, stunning Lisa.She couldn't believe Keane, could talk to her in such a cold and bland tone, void of any emotion.Pushing her thoughts away, she tries to comfort him again but he pushes her away.She could hardly believe what's going on with him to the point he was shoving her away.In all the years she's known him, he has never pushed her away… it's always the other way round but today… It was something she never expected.Staring at the man before her, she couldn't help but wonder if she's done something wrong, " Did I d
