A Chance at Love|✔ (Book One Of The Glass Shoe Series)

💗Chap 1💗

Delancy ran to meet her father that was checking the car.
"Dad, let's go, we're going to be late."
"Wait honey, let me check the car first."
"No Dad, everything is fine, I checked it already.'
"Okay" Her father said.

Driving on the highway, when a big truck coming from the other direction, its has lost control.
"Dad look, the truck"
"Honey, i have seen it but the brakes are not working"
"Oh no Dad, What... " Before she could finish what she wanted to say, the truck hit them.

"Haaaa!" Delancy screamed from her sleep. She got up realizing she has been dreaming again. She always had the dream every time her mother reminded her what she did.
"I caused my father's death"She sobbed, "its all my fault, I should have allowed him to check the car."

Her mother always reminds her of how she caused her father's death since she came back from the hospital at 17. Six years after, she could swear she has heard it more than a million times, how she caused her father's death has been a daily anthem that the incident always came to her dream almost every night.
No one knows about this, not even her best friend, Jonas. She couldn't say it because she doesn't want to hurt her mother. Pleasing her mom has been her first priority everyday.

She had wished for freedom which she couldn't have. Now, she only hope for true love. Maybe one day it will take her out of here.

Alarm rings!
She looked at the alarm beside her, she hasn't slept since she woke up. She had been crying till she had big bags under her eyes.

She got up and took her bath and made herself more beautiful, one of the things she has to do to please her mother. She's beautiful but she has to do more packaging as she's the only daughter of the number one Boss lady in the state, so she must be perfect with no flaws.

She went out of her room, her hideout, her secret palace, the only place she could be her real self and went downstairs to the dining room, placing her signature fake smile on her face.

"Good morning Mother" She said and sat on the chair.
"Morning dear, hope you slept well?" her mother asked.
"Yes, I did"  she replied.
"Did you really, you were dreaming and crying all night" she heard a voice say.

"Oh my Goodness Lancy, why do you always have to remind me I have no husband, look at your hair you didn't pin it well" Avery said.
"There she goes again, how does that relates to the hair" the voice said in her again. She looked at her mum and said "it's okay, I'll fix it".
"No, eat first then I'll do it for you, who knows what else you will destroy" Avery replied.

"What the heck is wrong with your mother, she's more annoying than my stepmother" the voice said again. Then she realized something was talking to her, "I'm going crazy" she thought to herself.

They ate in silence, then her mother help her pin back her hair. "Delancy" Avery called, "I'm going to meet a friend for lunch today, Are you going out?."
"Yes mum, I have to meet Jonas for Mrs Dalton's grandson's wedding plans" she replied. "Oh, Are you meeting Mrs Dalton as well?"
"Not today" Delancy said.

"Okay, say hi to my Jonas" Avery said and left the dinning room.
"Oh!" Delancy sighed and went out into her new car, she has asked her most trusted mechanic to check it for her every morning. She mustn't make the same mistake she made her father do.
She got into the car and heard her name.
"Delancy."

She looked around and didn't see anyone then she realized it was the voice.
"I'm I now going crazy" she said.
"No, you're not" the voice replied. "Try to imagine me."

"Who are you?" she asked getting pissed.
"Oh, I'm Cindy or Cinderella" the voice said. "Imagine me beside you". She was confused but she tried to imagine a Cinderella beside her, and there she was beside her.
"Whoa, its official, I'm crazy" she said.

"No, you're not, you're Delancy, remember its your imagination." Cinderella said.
"So why have you been talking in my head since morning!" Delancy asked. "Yeah, I'm just your inner real self, you never reveal me" Cindy said.

"As a Cinderella?" Delancy asked teasingly.
"Yeah that's how you have imagined me, Since your father died, you haven't been your real self" Cinderella said.

"Well, Cinderella or whatever, I need to leave now," Delancy said.
Cindy laughed and said "you are the one that doesn't want to leave, wake up and leave."
'Wake up? I'm I sleeping?"

"Yeah, you are, anyways bye. I'll talk to you sometimes" Cindy said and faded away.
Delancy woke up from her short sleep in the car, "it was a dream" she said to herself. Her phone rang, it was Jonas.

"Hello, I'm sorry, I'm on my way... Shut up! I'll be there in ten minutes" she ended the call and drove off.
