PASSION : Darker Than Love Book 3

Chapter-5 A Promise

Chapter-5 A Promise

Flashback,

Lavina's POV:

I pouted as I sat there, I was so furious at him that he missed it. He missed my special day again. I am sitting on the ground near the hill at the local park enjoyingtheview, just thinking, why would he avoid such a day?

I wanted him near me today in the crowd admiring me, but I got his absence. Everyone was there, Ares.. Aiken... and my Mom Dad, too.

I am graduated from high school, and he didn't care?

I plan to take the same college as him to study law. Not just because he is there but because I want to be  useful to my Dad. I want him to give me work like he gives Ares.

I know he tries to pamper me as if I am some delicate doll, but.... I want to be of use to him so... so... those words can become a lie... I can prove those whispers wrong.... That I am not just a girl you fell under Master Morris eyes and lives off his pity.

I want to make Dad proud.

Even today, I heard Whispers, 'Must be nice to daughter of Master Morris.... no worry in the word.... That kid is lucky to get kindness of Master Morris' 'But seriously she ruins the family picture' 'Anyone can tell she is adopted' 'I wonder if she would be this arrogant without Morris name attached to her'

I know everything well.... My family loves me.

But does the fact changes, my life would be much worse if I didn't end up in mom arms but on some street.

I know... I know how I got adopted in this family, and I learned from others.... but Granny Martha told me once the whole truth, she worked for my father all her life, she died working too.... She won't lie... I know....

She told me that I was a victim of an accident, and my biological mother died in the process of giving birth to me after that accident. Dad and Mom were there to treat Ares, and they couldn't walk away from me crying like a pathetic creature. I was an orphan even before I took my first breath. Maybe I killed her....

Maybe if they tried to save her instead of me.... She would be alive. I don't even know what her name was. That woman gave birth to me.

But.... I can't imagine a life without my mom. She is my mom, so why didn't God let me take birth from her womb.

Granny Martha told me, Dad said that say, 'She is our daughter' that day as soon he got me in his arms. I am so damn lucky. He gave me love and freedom, and no one can love his daughter like my father does. My words are his wishes. I am so damn lucky.

But what if the people who judge me are right. I am just a pathetic person living off pity.

I felt someone sitting beside me. His perfume tells me it's Zavier, and I can recognize him even without looking. I wiped my tears, thinking he would think I was pathetic. I don't want him to see my demons.

He asked, "Lavina.... you are crying?"

I tried to look away, hiding these red eyes. He grabbed my hand, making me look at him, pulling my hands off my face.

He looks so worried, His hair is messy, and his shirt is quite dirty. He was busy.... He was stuck into something, and he rushed here. I know he knows where he can find me.

Maybe he loves me so much. I am really lucky.

He grabbed my face and wiped the tears. He asked, "What is wrong?.... I am sorry I am late... I missed the graduation.... Dad sent me on his place for the shift... I am sorry...."
