All we have is love| Book 2

Chapter 14

Anna Hall

"Anna, the truth is you aren't mine and Riya's daughter by birth," he said. And that was the end of that sentence.

"What?" I asked in teary eyes and fell down when Adam caught me.

I couldn't believe my ears. I wasn't his daughter. How could he lie to me all these years? Then who are my real parents?

"How could you lie to me dad?" I asked him as I got up.

"I'm sorry Anna. I had to. It was a promise we had made each other." he said.

"Who? My real parents? Who are they?? Please tell me." I begged him with tears in my eyes.

"Your real parents are... Chad and Elena," he said.

"WHAT? But how??" I asked

"Our second child died right the second it was born so..." he was saying when he stopped suddenly.

"So?" I asked gritting my teeth.

"So, Chad and Elena had just had their baby too and they knew if Riya got to know that her child is not anymore, she couldn't bear it. That's why they gave us their baby and made the nurse write a death certificate for our baby in their names, so then Riya wouldn't know about it," he said.

"Who else knows?" I asked.

"Only Chad, Elena, and me," he said.

"I can't believe you dad!" I shouted at him.

"Anna, listen to me. They gave you to us because they felt bad for us. I didn't take you away from them. I'm not selfish to do so." he said.

"Yet, you accepted me when they put me in your care. I mean how is that not selfish?" I asked him.

"I...please don't do this Anna. I took care of you all these years. Why are you so against me?" he asked me

"You've done a lot of things which I don't like dad. And I know you took care of me very well but just remember your first daughter got all the things she wanted. I've been miserable all my life. I can't do what I like because of all the enemies you've made. I can't even love whom I like because of you!! So, think about what you've done." I shouted at him.

"Anna, wait." he started when I going to go.

"No, dad! I just can't talk with you now. So, please leave me alone." I said.

 I rushed out of there and went to where my car was parked. I couldn't take in all this. My head was spinning. I was dehydrated as I could feel my throat dry up. I felt dizzy.

"Hey, you ok? You look pale Anna" Adam said as he came and saw me.

I couldn't stand so I had leaned against the car but now I just fell down and then everything went black...

Adam Jones

She shouted so loudly that she fell down. She couldn't bear this. Poor Anna. I felt so bad for her. I mean she came here happily and has to go back home crying.

I was worried about her when she rushed out like that after shouting at her dad. So I went to see if she was fine. When I saw her, her face was pale, she was hyperventilating and had leaned against the car as if she was going to collapse next. It was sure she was having a panic attack. After a couple of minutes, she lost consciousness. So, I took her home and put her to bed. I sat right next to her since I was scared of whether she was ok or not. Thank god we're staying together.
