Fiona's pov (10 years old) 

Past 

"Fiona wake up we are getting late," Ava called me and I groaned I don't want to wake up right now 

It feels so good to be here under my fluffy blanket and when my Mr. Bunny is with me. It's perfect for me. 

"Fiona mom will start shouting if you don't get up today is her engagement don't you remember?" she asked and my eyes opened automatically

Mumma's engagement? With Mr. Willford, yes I remember. How can I forget that my mother is getting married again after just 1 year of my father's death? My papa was so nice he gifted me Mr. Bunny a week before his accident. He said when he saw it he remembered me. Ava teased me for being papa's favourite as well for it but who knew it will become the last gift from my papa. 

Mumma was coping up with us and his death but 6 months ago everything changed. Her behaviour changed along with her clothing. She forgot papa in just 6 months. Ava told me that she is dating a man who has two sons as well, one is one year older than me and another is Ava's age. 

It took me a long time to accept the fact that my mother is getting married once again. I cried and asked her to not do this but she said she loves Mr. Willford and he loves her as well. His wife left him and his sons to be with another man hence they both were single and now together. 

I will never accept that man as my papa. He can never take his place. I have talked to him once. He seems like a good guy but I don't trust anyone. What if he sends us away from our Mumma? She is the only family we have and I can't lose her as well. 

I haven't met his sons today. We will see them for the first time. Are they happy with their father's second marriage? Or they also don't want this marriage to take place? 

"Get up already Fiona, I need to get you ready for the ceremony. Mom is busy getting dolled up as if it's her first marriage. I don't understand how she can forget everything and move on so easily when we couldn't accept his death till now? Money really talks." Ava said but I didn't responded to her 

I don't understand so many complicated things. I don't like them at all. I like my safe place and that's my room with Mr. Bunny. With him it feels like papa is still with me he didn't go anywhere. 

I got up half heartedly as if I don't get ready Mumma will scold Ava and I don't want her to get scolded because of me. 

I bathed on my own and came out in a towel. Ava gave me the dress and helped me to wear it. It's a pink and white frock with pearls in it. Rich people and their costly clothes. Ava is also wearing a blue gown. She is 13 years old so she is wearing a gown. 

She helped me with my long hair and tied it in a messy bun. A little tint on my lips and I was ready for the occasion. 

"Aww my babies you both look stunning. Now you look like the daughters of Eric Willford. Wait, Eric has sent something for you both." Mumma said and I didn't liked how she said that I look like Mr. Willford's daughter

I am my papa's daughter Henry Lockwood's daughter.

Mumma gave us a set of diamond ornaments. Ava got a beautiful set of diamonds and I got a bracelet and small studs. 

"Mom I think you should keep them for you we don't have any wish to look like Mr. Willford's daughters, we are fine being our father's daughters." Ava said what I wanted to say 

"You both don't understand anything do you? Whatever I'm doing is for you and your future. This is just the beginning. Let me get married to him once then you will see what luxury is. Eric will change our lives permanently. You both will live like princesses in that mansion. Now cut the crap and wear it. It is so beautiful isn't it? Eric chose them for you personally." Mumma said excitedly not understanding our feelings
