Daddy's Little Angel novel Chapter 28

I think my heart just stopped beating, and not just because I ceased breathing... Rather, it's due to the fact that my once whole heart is now in shambles and fragments of it is being carried away by the wind.

I am stock in that moment where all you want to do is scream out your pain but all you can actually do is gasp for breath as you clutch your hands to your chest while your legs goes weak and you fall to the ground.

Oh God! Nothing seems to be going my way. Why now? Just when I sought out my feelings and decided to throw caution to the wind, this had to happen.

It wasn't my dad who picked the call. It was Nora. I wanted to be positive but I could not stop asking questions like "what is she doing with my dad's cellphone?" "If she is with it, that means she's with him, at this time?" Besides I thought she called things off, she isn't even working for dad anymore so this couldn't be a issue of them working into the late hours of the night. I wanted to ask what's going on? But I didn't need to. My answers came for me.

Turns out My dad was getting engaged this Saturday, and it seems I was the last to know. He didn't even have the decency of breaking it to me himself. He had to ask his soon to be wife to do the dirty job.

I feel horrible, stupid and enraged. I feel betrayed which is quite pathetic seeing that he was only following through with my wishes. I was the one who asked him not to call till he was engaged. If I hadn't made this call, I probably would have found out when it was too late. Nora doesn't seem to know anything about me and my father's rift. She thinks he keeps in touch with me. She even mentioned how she tried to reach me severally but my line wasn't going through. Which was because I blocked her line by the way.

She talked about how she wanted to visit, but turns out that "work just wouldn't give her breathing space."

Who does she think she's talking to? A kid? I wasn't even that gullible as a kid. She had no time to make a quick trip over, but she definitely had plenty of time to scheme her way back into my fathers life, into his bed and now securing a permanent position in our home. I hate that woman...I loath her actually. She is always there like an irritating rash. It took all of my self control not to say something stupid or smash my phone against the wall.

My father is getting engaged to my nemesis and it's all my fault.

Normal girls would want to date boys around their age, I want a man who is sixteen years older than I am.

Most girls want to be the focus of numerous hot guys, I want a certain man's focus on me. While people worry about socializing, the only people I want to socialize with is family. Talking about family, I'm about to loose one of mine.

I am not one to back down easily. I won't give up on my happiness. If I'm to loose, it would be after giving it my all. At the end, I would ensure I get what I want.

Tonight, I nurse my wounds, tomorrow I'll prepare for war.
