The Forbidden Desire

ELLA'S POV I was at the garage sitting at one of the chairs there when I heard some steps coming in front of me I was really hoping it was my mom and that was correctly it was her I was certainly expecting some gift as she usually does every day but this time I saw something else in her hand which looked far from the candy which I always go to grab from her everyday. “Mom, you didn't get anything for me today, why?” I asked with a frowning face. I didn't expect it. She came forward to me and held my hands. “Darling, I am genuinely sorry my dear, okay, it really skipped my mind. I promise I won't fail it next time. Okay, I am really, really sorry about it, but I have another good news. Okay, it was the major reason I couldn't even remember getting anything for my darling daughter,” she said. I needed to know what the good news was all about. I was curious and took interest in it. “Okay, what could be the exciting thing that is putting this endless smile on your face? Do you care to share the good news with me?” I asked. “Why won't I share this astonishing news with my only child? I would tell you absolutely everything okay but let's go into the room first” she said. I was really surprised how she acted. Not only that, but I knew she could attach something to this envelope which she handed over to me, so my curiosity made me open it. Furthermore, I was certainly surprised as it came to my knowledge that it was a marriage invitation my mind raced in thought who was the celebrant and why would mom be so happy about it, so I read through as I read down to the card I saw my mom's full name on it, that she was getting married to one Mr. sparks it was perplexing, I needed answers to my questions so I went to my mom for answers. “Mom, Mom” I called. “My darling, what is it? I know you are really curious to know everything and I would explain everything to you if you can just calm down and have a sit” she said. “What is this envelope all about? I saw your name on it that you are getting married to Mr. Sparks and I have heard he has one of the big companies in town so if you explain things to me, I am lost here okay” I said. “Okay you can have your seat, you can't stand while I am talking okay” she said. I calmed myself down and listened to her and gently sat down beside her. “Okay I am calm now, so can I at this moment get what I want mom” I said? “Okay my darling daughter” (hm mm) she sighs. “You know we can't still continue with this kind of life we can't continue with it okay, so I think this is my best opportunity to leave this poverty life, my dear daughter, I know you are also feedup of this kind of life that's why I want to get rid of it immediately my dear you can get your dream through your stepfather. He is a wealthy man okay I think you would get to love him if you start to know him okay he is a loving dad my dear. You and I know that we can't continue with this challenging situation. This is the best opportunity I have to get rid of it. I know you can't cope with it, but we have to stop it. He proposed to me and I had to agree to his proposal, "this is the engagement ring” she brought her hand forward to me for me to see it clearly? “I think we should both get in living luxurious life my dear, we would be moving in to his home tomorrow, I mean our new home, and he also has a son which you can get along with, they are perfect person you have absolutely nothing to worry about, you are in a good hands, so there is absolutely nothing to make you think otherwise of this okay” she said. “Mom, is his son of the same age with me?” I asked. “He hasn't introduced him to me. We all will meet tomorrow, "but why do you ask? if there is anything you can share it with me, ” she said. “There is no problem, I just wanted to know because I really don't need anyone to intimidate me when I get there,” I said. “So I think with your words you accept moving to our new home” she said and l nodded in a sign of agreement to what she said. Then she smiled at me and came to me and kissed me as usual on my forehead. “So I would go to the kitchen to make your favorite meal, l would make it so special” she said. She left me alone in the living room I sighed and l started imagining of how I would leave with my new family how everything would be I imagined endlessly, but I had no idea on how the new home would be and how my new family would be to me but I only required a good family as the way my mother treated me, but I had to skip the thought and focus on my studies and the assignment I was given at class. I stayed alone in the living room, and it was lonely for me, so I left there and went to the kitchen to meet my mom who was making my special meal for me to eat for dinner.
