💋Harley💋
“Harley, you sure you fine going in there alone?”.
“Lionel. I’m fine”. I reassured him.
“I just don’t trust that Gael guy”.
I car–sed his cheeks. “I’m good, okay? He won’t hurt me, he’s my real Dad”.
“See you later?”.
I pecked his cheeks. “See you later”.
He smiled at me and turned back going into his car. I waved at him and entered the main house still nervous a little bit in seeing him.
I walked in with the maids greeting me as always. I went further into the main house heading to the stairway.
After climbing upstairs, i went directly to his office walking past his servants also the maids.
I got there and opened in stepping in,side quietly so as not to attract attention.
I stopped seeing my Dad talking with one of his private investigators. Seems like its really important.
“We can co-ordinate his locations and also outline them”. The private investigator was saying.
“Good. Kill him”.
I gasped at what he said and they turned their attention.
“Natalie”. He stood up from his chair. “You didn’t call to tell me that you were coming”.
I let out a scoff. “Oh really? So you can kill him?”.
“Its not what you think, Natalie”.
“Leave”. I told the private investigator.
He looked at my Dad. “Sir, should I still__”.
“You heard my daughter, leave”. My Dad says interrupting him. “I’ll talk to you later”.
“Okay sir”. The private investigator nodded in response and walked out of the office.
“Dad. Would you mind explaining?”.
He sat back on his chair. “Natalie, come on, you know how much I hate Harold”.
“So what? That doesn’t give you the right to kill him”.
“I hate him. What don’t you understand?”.
“Dad. You know he can still be useful?”.
“In what? Natalie, he took you and Natalya away from me leaving me in distress. He deserves more than death itself”.
I sigh a little. “Dad, Natalya doesn’t even remember me?”.
“Till now?”.
“Yes. And she thinks she’s Natasha and that Harold is her father”.
“And we need him, why?”.
“Dad. We need him to tell Natasha that she has a sister which is me, thats all I want. I need my sister back”.
“Fine. But after that then I’m killing him”.
“No way”. I objected.
He grimaced. “Okay fine, no killing”.
“Dad?”.
He looked up at me. “Yes?”.
“What took you so long to find Tasha? To find me”.
“I was.. “. He paused for a while. “I was still mourning Karen’s death”.
“My mum?”.
“Yes. Your mother”.
“But how do we come in? You’ve never told me the story, i only believed you are my real Dad because I saw Natalya’s picture”. I told him truthfully.
“Harold was my best friend at that time and unfortunately, we fell in love with the same woman which led to all this”.

🌹Natasha🌹
“Hello?”.
“Natasha?”.
That voice. That familiar voice. Why does it sound like … Like my Dad.
“Natasha. Its me”.
“Dad … ?”.
“Natasha, we need to talk. I have important things to tell__”.
I hang up. Not wanting to hear his voice at all any further.
Reece glanced at me. “Who was that?”.
“Nothing”. I mumbled quietly.
“Nat ..?”.
“Reece. I don’t talk about it right now, can you please just drive?”.
He nodded in response not saying anything as he put the key in ignition starting the car engine before he drove off.
I stared outside the window as he drove on thinking about what just happened.
Thinking about why my Dad would call me after all these years. After abandoning me like I was some piece of trash ready to be disposed.
The last time I heard his voice was when I was four and I barely even remember it.
Just only a few details help me recognize it such as his groggy voice and accent. Just hearing his voice is causing me shock and of course, immense pain.
I’m so angry. Angry with myself for missing him, angry with myself for picking his damn call.
He left me. My own father left him. It really surprises how I couldn’t live with that fact all these years. I had believed he hated me.
I’ve thought about the reason why he left me all this years, all these years that I had moved from different adopted families.
I don’t remember how he looks like, only just a few memories of him are left in my fuzzy mind.
I remember him but all those memories are dark and empty, full of gloom. I can’t even remember my childhood days because of him.
And he’s back. Back for what? Maybe he’s trying to find a place in my life that he can fit himself in.
Unfortunately for him, i don’t have a place like that. My heart is shut down close if he thinks he wants to come into my life again.
“Nat ..?”. Reece’s voice brings me back to realty.
I turn to him. “Huh?”.
“We are here. At my place already”.
I notice that he’s already in the compound of his mansion. Wait what? Was I thinking throughout the whole drive all this while?!!!
“Oh”.
“Nat. Are you okay?”.
I forced a smile. “I’m really good, thanks for asking, Reece”.
He unlocked the car doors and I got out closing the car door behind me.
Reece walked beside me and held my hand intertwining our fingers as we walk into the main house which is, by the way another of his huge mansions.
“You know, you still haven’t told me why my Dad will be resting in the hospital for two days straight now”.
“Umm .. Doctor’s orders”. I lied as we went up the stairs together.
“Yeah I know but isn’t he supposed to rest at home not in the hospital because__”.
My phone immediately rings interrupting him in whatever he was about to say.
I glanced at the screen staring at the Caller I.D. Unknown, should I pick it up? I know that its my Dad.
“Do you wanna answer that?”. Reece asks as he opened the door to his room and we entered.
“I’ll just take the call”.
I stepped further into Reece’s room and swiped the screen answering the call.
“Hello?”.
“Natasha. Please don’t hang the call up on me, please”.
“What do you want?”. I asked him coldly.
“We need to talk”.
“I’m not interested”. I said to him and cut off the call.
I slid my phone back into my pocket as I fought the urge to cry. Frustration whirls up in,side of me which is a dilemma for us.
Not knowing what to do, i turned around to hold Reece close to me for comfort.
He saw the look in my eyes and hugged me immediately close to himself. I wrapped my hands around him not wanting to let go of him at all.
After a while being in his arms, i pull away and stared into his gorgeous eyes feeling loved.
“Who’s that?”. He asks calmly not wanting to make me cry.
“My Dad?”.
“Your Dad? That left you?”. He asked me more softly.
I nodded silently, tears streaming down my face.
He slipped his hand around my w–st. “I’m sorry if I bringing up bad memories”.
“Its fine. I hate him anyways”. I whispered.
His hold tightens around my w–st assuring me that everything would be okay.
“He’s still your Dad, Nat. You need to talk to him”.
As soon as he said, i flared up getting out of his hold as i walked to the other side of the room with a flaring nose.
“How can you say that, Reece?”.
“Its the truth”.
I let out a scoff. “Oh really? You expect me to go talk to my Dad while you are not still on talking terms with your own father?”.
“Nat .. “. He sighs a little. “I know that but I regret doing that. I really miss my Dad”.
“You do?”.
“Yes and i want you to have a connection with your own Dad before its too late”. He tells me.
I start pouring out my heart to him and his face softens paying rapt attention to what I’m saying with patience listening to what I am rambling out to him.
“No, Reece!! I am not talking to a man that left his four year old child and made her so wonder all these years why he did that”. I shouted angrily.
“Nat”.
I turn to him, tears already streaming down my cheeks, breathing out of control.
“How can someone do that?”. I asked him getting more angry. “How can he be so that hateful towards me that he all of a sudden leaves me all this f×¢king years. Huh?”.
Reece walked towards me as I continue to let out my frustration.
Then I fall to my knees as I began crying all of a sudden.
“Why?”. I sob quietly. “Why is he even back here?”.
Reece sits in front of me on the tiled floor and held my hands. I sit down properly on the floor in front of him.
He tucked a strand of my hair behind my ear. “I love you, Nat”.
I looked up at him to see him staring at me, love shining in his eyes.
“Thank you, Reece”. I whispered.
“Are you feeling better now?”.
I nod silently. “Yes”.
“Come here”.
He smiled softly at me and opened both of his arms and his legs for me to sit between them, cuddling me.
I turn my back to him and place myself in between his legs then rest the back of my head on his toned chest.
His arms wrap themselves gingerly around my upper body and I feel my tense muscles relax.
I closed my eyes and rest in his arms, his finger stroking my cheeks tenderly.

💋Harley💋
“But how do we come in? You’ve never told me the story, i only believed you are my real Dad because I saw Natalya’s picture”. I told him truthfully.
“Harold was my best friend at that time and unfortunately, we fell in love with the same woman which led to all this”.
I sat in front of him. “Dad. I don’t get you”.
“Karen, Harold and I were all best friends in high school, doing things together then we left for college”.
“What happened next?”.
“Well after we were out of college and all that, in our respective businesses. Harold proposed to Karen”.
“Wait, you mean the guy that posed as our fake Dad proposed to our real mum?”.
“Precisely”.
“What about you?”. I asked curious. “You were in love with her right”.
“I was. Luckily for me, Karen said no to him and came to me instead”.
“Wow. That must be pretty heartbreaking for Harold”.
“It was and on that night when I was with Karen, we had our first night together and that was when she became pregnant”.
“So why does Harold hate you?”.
He sigh a little. “He thinks I betrayed him and I’m the reason that Karen rejected me”.
“Oh”. I mouthed.
“He said that if he couldn’t have Karen then neither can I”.
“Did he .. ?”. I trailed off.
“After he made that horrible statement to me, he apologized days later and we forgave him. He even attended Karen’s and I wedding, he was changed completely or so we thought”.
“Did something bad happen?”. I asked him softly.
“I was at work when it all happened, i came back to find out Karen has been rushed to the hospital”.
“Dammit”.
“I didn’t know what Harold did to her but she kept on gasping for breath until she died in the hospital”. He said tearfully.
“I wish I knew her”.
“Harold took you both away from me that day depriving me from my happiness”.
I paused. “Dad, how old were we?”.
“You both were just four at that time”.
“Wait a minute. I was four when Harold left me and Natalya but how come I was calling him my Dad”.
He chuckles lightly. “Harold and I were the best of friends, the closest to me. You kids loved him and called him your father too”.
“Oh”. I was beginning to understand what he was saying, everything.
“Did you know what I’m saying, Natalie?”.
“A little. When Harold had come over that day, he said he was taking us to disney land and we willingly followed”. I told him.
“That ass because you took him as a father figure”.
“And also I remember that the car was on a high speed, like he was running away from someone”.
“Natalie, when I found out that he took you and Natalya, i sent my guards to go after him”.
“He realized you were after him and that was why he needed to trash Natalya and I”. I added figuring out everything.
“Yes. He wanted to make sure thar I never found you both”.
“Was that why he separated us?”. I asked him getting emotional.
“Apparently, yes”.
“But why didn’t you try to find us, find me?”. Tears were rolling down my cheeks.
“Natalie, I tried but I didn’t get any links to where you two were”.
“Thats a lie”. I shot back at him.
“I’m telling you the truth, i trued finding you but I couldn’t. It turned out you had already changed your name to Harley Worth and thats why I couldn’t get any leads on you”.
“What about Natalya? Huh?”.
He sighed a little. “She was adopted into a family already. And her name was Natasha not Natalya”.
“Oh really?”. I let out a scoff. “Couldn’t you have tried to find us at least more earlier?”.
“I’m sorry I didn’t, Natalie”.
“Do you know what Tasha passed through? Huh? Do you know what I had to f×¢king pass through?”.
“I found about what her stepbrother did to her”. He said lowly.
“Now tell me, if Natalya ever regains her memory, do you think she’s gonna accept you easily just like I did?”.

🌹Natasha🌹
He smiled softly at me and opened both of his arms and his legs for me to sit between them, cuddling me.
I turn my back to him and place myself in between his legs then rest the back of my head on his toned chest.
His arms wrap themselves gingerly around my upper body and I feel my tense muscles relax.
I closed my eyes and rest in his arms, his fingers stroking my cheeks tenderly as I relax comfortably.
“Nat?”.
“Yeah?”.
“I think you should talk to your Dad”.
“I don’t want to”.
“You need to, i think they are some things that you don’t know”.
“Like what?”.
He sighs a little. “Remember what Harley said? About you being her sister?”.
“How am I not sure Harley is just saying a whole of crazy things”.
“All I’m saying is that there is a reason that your Dad wants to talk to you”.
I remained silent as he said that. Do I really want to talk to my Dad? But he left me after all these years and he came back only just 14 years after.
“Nat .. ? You listening”. Reece’s voice pops me out of my thoughts.
“Hmmm”.
“I know you didn’t hear a bit of what I said just now”.
I snuggle into his arm. “I’m sleepy. Reece”.
“You can sleep all you want for now but then tomorrow, there’s school”.
I look up at him. “What are you even talking about?”.
“Nat. You’ve been absent from school for two weeks now”.
“I don’t feel like going”.
“Come on, we have less than three weeks remaining till Winter break”. He says softly to me.
I sit up. “If I go to school tomorrow, will you go with me?”.
“Always, Nat”. He k××sed my forehead.
“But wait, how about Alan’s court case?”.
“Its five days from now and I don’t want you to stress yourself about that. I’ll handle everything, all right?”.
I hugged him closely. “Thank you”.
“Now please do something for me, Nat. I need you to talk to your Dad”.
“Reece .. I don’t know if I can”.
He car–sed my cheeks lovingly. “I know you can, Nat”.
“But why?”. I whined like a baby.
He chuckled lightly. “Nat, come on, just do this for me please”.
“Okay fine. I will. But only because you had asked me to”.
He smiled and stood up stretching his hand towards me. I placed my palms on his and he drew me up close to him.
As if on cue, my phone rang out again and I slid my phone out of my pocket looking at the screen. The Caller I.D.
My Dad. Again.
I took a deep breath before swiping the screen right answering the call nervously.
“Natasha. Please do not disconnect the call”.
“Why are you calling?”. I asked him coldly.
“I thought I will never find you .. “.
“I wish you never did”.
“Don’t say that, Natasha”.
His voice was dripping with regret as he spoke to me on the phone. He’s sorry but that doesn’t mean I should let my guard down.
“I say what I want to say so don’t tell me what to do”. I told him off angrily.
I felt Reece’s hands slide around my w–st and he placed his head on my shoulders trying to calm me down as he hugged me from backwards.
“Natasha. Please, i want to talk to you”. He says showing how eager he is.
“You are talking to me”.
“In person”.
I breathed in calmly. “Where and when?”.
“Anytime is fine by you but perhaps maybe by tomorrow”.
“Okay fine”. I agreed reluctantly.
“I’ll text you the place”.
“Call me when you do”. I said to him and disconnected the call.
“You did great, Nat”. Reece whispered in my ears, his hands still around my w–st.
“Thank you for convincing me to talk to him, Reece”.
He pulls away. “You are welcome”.
I nodded in response and goes sit over at his bed tiredly.
“Nat, will you okay without me for few hours?”. He asks staying beside me.
“Why? Where you going to?”.
“I need to talk to my Dad, its about that case stuff. My Dad has the best lawyer so I’m thinking he would help me out”.
“Umm you want to talk to him?”. I asked nervously.
“Yeah”.
“But he’s in the hospital, remember?”.
He shrugged. “So? You told me that he was resting”.
“Yeah, yeah I did but__”.
“Nat”. He interrupted me. “Are you keeping something like a secret, from me?”.

😡😡Alan😡😡
I gr0-ned in pains as I walked slowly over to where my parents were. Dammit!! I can’t even walk properly anymore.
“My baby!!”. Mum said when she saw me.
I sat down in front of them. “Mum”.
“Look at what they did to my baby”. She said touching my face.
“Ma’am. You are lucky that you are allowed up see him before the court case”.
I looked at them. “Court case?”.
“Yeah. That sleazy girl I adopted and her boyfriend”.
“A court case was filed against me? After what they did to me?”.
“Don’t worry, Son. We will get out of here safe from harm”.
I frowned angrily. “I don’t think thats even possible, her boyfriend is damn rich”.
“So what? We are rich too”.
“Umm Ma’am”. The lawyer spoke up. “Alan is trying to say that the family is affluent and they control everything when it comes to things like this”.
“But how we going to get my Son out of here?”. Dad asked him.
“Sir, I doubt if I can but we can used the fact that the torture they gave to him, we can use that in court but that isn’t even at all justifiable”.
“Then how we going to free my son from this place? Look at what they did to him”.
“Ma’am, he can be released wholly if what that girl accused him of is a lie”.
“It is a lie”. Mum defended me. “Alan can never do that to her, he took her as his own sister”.
“Alan”. The lawyer faced me. “Did you hurt Natasha like she claims you did? Did you take advantage of her?”.
I faked a morose face. “I didn’t do anything at all to her, she is like my sister. How can I think of raping her?”.
“So nothing like what she said happened at all?”.
I smirked inwardly. This is my chance to get back at that wh0r×, she is definitely going to get it all from me.
“I was helping her with an assignment when it all happened. She forced herself on me”.
