Chapter 57

Onika's POV
Prague, CR
December 25

We were all in the living room. This was nice. It was nice to be part of a family.

I understood it was selfish of me to think this way but I couldn't not do that. My teen years were hell because I felt I wasn't heard. I rebelled and moved out by the time I was 14.

I didn't want to blame my parents but I couldn't not blame them. I practically raised my siblings because they were always off arguing and fighting.

Then when they weren't fighting, they'd leave for days at a time. Leaving me to care for their kids. I missed out on my childhood, caring for their duties.

I dated an older guy and got pregnant at 17. I gave birth when I was 18 and I only realised how dumb I was when my daughter was there, in my arms.

My parents didn't meet Zamora until she was 3. I'd distanced myself from my family because I didn't want to deal with their bullshit.

Even though I was stubborn, I still had Robyn and Lauren. They still cared for me and made sure I was ok.

I missed out on having a family because of the way I acted. But I did what I did for a reason. That led me to my own family, full of people that actually cared about me.

"Your knuckles are going white." Beyoncé took the mug from my hands. She kissed my cheek. "What's up?"

"Nothing."

"We can talk later." She snuggled up to me. She was literally like a baby.

"My favourite couple." Destiny took a photo of Beyoncé and I. I started laughing and Beyoncé was about to cuss her out.

"I have something else for Titan and Zamora." Beyoncé quickly stood up. I knew what she was talking about because I went shopping with her to buy them.

She came back around the corner with two kid cars. Zamora's was a pink Cadillac and Titan's was green.

"No way!" Zamora stood from the floor and ran to Beyoncé. Beyoncé opened the side door for her and she climbed in.

Titan wasn't fazed. He looked up and back down at the new Nintendo his dad bought him.

Zamora was being a menace and driving the car into walls and tables. I had to tell her to get out of it before she broke something.

There was still a bunch of presents left and Beyoncé was handing her last few gifts out. She'd gifted everyone at least three things.

Right now I was actually wearing the Cartier bracelet she bought for my birthday and the pink Apple Watch.

"Here." She handed me a well wrapped box. I looked at her skeptically. The layer of wrapping paper came off easily. Under it was a Chanel box.

I looked at Beyoncé in awe.

"Hurry, open it." She rushed me. I didn't protest because I loved Chanel so much.

I kept opening the box. Undoing the bow and opening the inner part of the box. When I finally got to the bag, I screamed.

"Oh my- yes!" I exclaimed. It was the classic light pink handbag that I really wanted. It was part of the newest collection and it had been on my wish list. "Beyoncé-"

I didn't even know what to do. I hugged on the bag so tight. The only thing that could get me this crazy was a Chanel bag.

"Lo, look." I held the purse up. Lauren was already recording me because she knew how much I loved memories like these.

I didn't want to kiss Beyoncé in front of her family because that was so rude, in my opinion. But Beyoncé got the hint and kissed me first.

She pecked my lips a few times before she pulled away. I hugged her, with the bag still in my hand and everyone starting awe-ing and ooh-ing.

We both sat back down and I ignored everyone around me as I admired my bag.

One day I'd have my own closet with a special corner. That corner would be dedicated to my Chanel collection.

After everyone had opened their gifts, we watched Christmas movies as some chefs made us Christmas dinner. So we spent the whole day watching movies.
