"Let's go, Nancy Bloom. Let's enjoy", he said looking at me.
"Okay", I smiled.
I shouldn't ruin my day. I came here to enjoy myself. I shouldn't think about Dad. He wouldn't even recognize me. It's been 11 years since he last saw me. I was a chubby girl but now I have changed a lot. I am not that sweet little chubby girl. Now, I am Nancy Bloom, an independent woman and I am not scared of anything.
"Hands up, Nancy Bloom.", someone said.
I stopped and turned around. It's Sam. Goodness! I missed her so much.
"Sammmm.", I shouted and kissed her on the cheek.
"Eww... Stop kissing me, you lesbo.", she said.
We both started laughing. I was so happy to see her. She is the nicest person I have ever known.
"Ethan Sinclair, right? Sam asked.
"Wait. Wait... Wait... You are Sam. Oh my goodness! It's been such a long time.", Ethan said.
"Do you know each other?", I asked in confusion.
"Yeah, Nancy. We both studied at the same university. He was my senior. I used to have a crush on him.", Sam said and laughed.
"No, not only you. Every girl had a crush on me.", Ethan said.
"Ah! Get over yourself, Ethan Sinclair.", I chuckled.
"Shut up, Nancy Bl...", Ethan stopped.
"Nancy", someone shouted.
I looked around. It was my Dad. No... No...No... This can't happen. He shouldn't know me. I was scared. I became nervous. I clenched my fists. I started biting my lips.
"Are you Nancy Bloom.", Dad asked.
I kept silent. I couldn't talk. He was looking at me. What should I do now? I cannot say him that I am his daughter. He will kill me just like he killed my mom. I looked at Ethan. I don't know what to say. The tension was increasing.
"You have got the wrong person, Sir. She is my wife, Nancy Sinclair.", Ethan grabbed my waist and pulled me towards him.
I popped my eyes out and looked at Ethan. What? Wife? Why did he say that? Goodness! What is happening in my life? And why is it happening? Sam looked at me with confusion. Ah! My life is fucked.
"Oh, I am sorry. I thought that it was my daughter, Nancy Bloom.", my Dad said and left.
"Fuck.", Ethan sighed.
"What the hell was that? Are you crazy?", I yelled at Ethan.
"Wow, I just saved you and you are yelling at me.", Ethan said making a weird face.
"I didn't ask for help, Ethan. I could have handled it.", I said looking at him.
"Oh really? Then why didn't you open your mouth in front of him?", he said.
"Goodness! Ethan, I saw my Dad after 11 years. How do you expect me to react?", I said.
"Nancy, he was suspicious of you. I did the right thing. If I didn't say that, he would have believed that you were his daughter.", he said looking at me.
"Ethan, why are you interfering in my life? Do you even know what you said? You said that I am your wife.", I said.
"I didn't have a choice, Nancy. You stood like a statue.", he said.
"Ethan did the right thing, Nancy. You know your Dad, Nancy. If he gets suspicious, then you know what he can do.", Sam said looking at me.
Ah! My mind will explode. I couldn't understand anything. Ethan pissed me off. I need to relax. I took a deep, long breath.
"Nancy, I didn't mean to hurt you. Your dad will not appear in front of us, every day. It was just a matter of today.", he said grabbing me.
Maybe, what he did was right. I couldn't even say anything in front of my Dad. Oh gosh! I am so confused right now. Okay, I need to forget all this. It's good that my dad doesn't know who I am.
"Okay, I need to go. I can't stay here.", I said looking at Sam.
"Nancy, I am sorry", Ethan said.
"It's fine, Ethan. It's okay.", I said angrily and left the place.
I reached home. Ah! I didn't expect this at all. I didn't expect to see my father. It's so strange right, we are scared of some people in childhood, and even when we grow up. We couldn't forget what that person has done to us. When we see them, we get scared and have anxiety attacks. Ah! I should stop thinking about all this. I will not see my father again. I hope I never meet him again.
It's already 8 am and I got ready for the hotel. Steve told me that there will be some important guests coming today. I put on a pair of jeans and a top. I drove to the hotel. I took a deep breath and started walking.
"Nancy, here you are.", Steve shouted.
"I am so sorry, Steve. I am late today.", I said looking at him.
"It's okay, Nancy. Okay as I told you that today some important guests are coming. Today there will be a business meeting and Ethan Sinclair is..... Omg! Anna, it's already 9 am. We have to go.", Steve said in a hurry.
What was he telling? What about Ethan? Ah! Ethan, Ethan, Ethan, I am fed up with this name. Steve should have completed his sentence.
The hotel managers were told not to wear the uniform. So, I dressed up nicely. So I wore a sheath dress and put on some make-up. I turned around and I saw Ethan standing right behind me. He wore a suit. Ah! His features are so attractive. I couldn't take my eyes off him. We both made eye contact.
"Oh, someone is looking beautiful.", he said looking at me.
"Oh, someone is looking handsome.", I chuckled.
"Wow! Impressive. Am I hearing it right, Nancy Bloom? Did you compliment me?", he said and laughed.
"Yes, you are hearing it right.", I said.
I looked at the door. The guests were coming inside. There were around 10 men. I was looking then suddenly I saw a man in a suit coming inside. Goodness! Jesus! Fuck! No, No, No.
"Ethan.", I said with tension.
"What happened, Nancy.", he said and turned around towards the door.
"Fuck! What the hell?", he shouted.
It was my dad. What should I do now? What is happening? Why is he here? Goodness! Ethan fucked up everything. What will he do now? My dad doesn't forget people easily and especially those people he is suspicious of. Suddenly Ethan grabbed me and Steve to a room.
"Okay, now I need you both to listen to me carefully. Steve for today, Nancy is my wife and she will be with me the whole time.", he said looking at Steve.
"What? What is happening, Nancy? Can you explain it to me?", Steve said.
"It's a long story, Steve. I will explain everything but now we have to do what Ethan says.", I said grabbing his hand.
