His Little One

Chapter 1 Broken heart

"Life happens when you least expect it. But that doesn't mean you give up on it . You are blessed to have a life to live, make it worth more, than coursing what you don't have."

Other's POV:

"Why God, Wh-y. Why me." Orchid whispered as the rain poured on her like blades.

Finally, her body collapsed so did her heart. She stared at the close door of the Blake Mansion that mocking on her miserable life.

The darkness of the deadly night somehow appeared shallow in front of the caous of Orchid's heart. The physical pain is nothing compared to the pain she was feeling in her chest. And in the end she was not just lost her all hope but herself.

There was so much pain that she seemed to feel nothing now. A bitter laugh scaped from her bruise lips. Then she laughed her heart out until there is nothing left within her. The disappointment and hatred were evident in her eyes.

The betrayal, pain, humiliation, negligence, cursing, she had endured all these years, finally came to an end. Now she is free.

No-one cared if she was alive or not. And it was like this always. The only person who has ever cared or loved her was her brother who was too busy to see what was going on in her life. She couldn't blame him though.

At least he didn't hate her like her father. She didn't think she could ever call him Dad again. And God, had He ever been on her side, she chuckled sadly.

Life has never been easy for her but she never loses hope on it. But now she didn't have the strength to fight.

Sometimes life could be too cruel to live. And she knew if she died here ,it would make no difference to anyone's life. The hidden punching bag of Anthony Blake had no value.

She wondered if this was how people felt when their hopes are crushed down in pieces. Did the emptiness become people's companions when everything came to an end.

She reflected on her past 13 years old life. Imprisoned by her own father, bound by rules, confined by punishment. Nothing else.

She didn't have the strength to wait anymore. Using the last bit of strength that left her body she pushed herself from the ground. Looking back at the mansion one last time, Orchid turned her back and walked away.

The mansion once she thought as her home only turned out to be a cage that was punishing her for her birth. How foolish she was!

Each step reminded her of the pain she endured here and she vowed to never return here ever again. From now on she will be an orphan. Every hope and every person she had ever loved or ever cared for or has any relationship with, now all gone. There's nothing but emptiness.....

.........

Orchid didn't look back even for once. She left all her miseries behind with a broken heart...

...........

Few hours earlier,

Blake Mansion

"Will it rain today?" Orchid mummered as she glanced her tiny window. The sound of thunder coming through it making her slightly flinched.

She loved rain, always has been. It calmed her down but never able to put up with the lightening stroke. May be because the thunder has the ability to destroy everything.

She got down from her bed. Orchid didn't know why she was feeling so restless today. She was trying to sleep for so long and the lightening wasn't helping much. So she was hoping at least it will rain that will calm her nerves.

Even though she couldn't go out to soak in the rain like any normal teenagers but she could at least feel it from her window.

Time passed by as she stand by the window, enjoying the cold breeze on her face. Finally it started to rain. She extended her hand to feel the rain. The moment the raindrops touched her little hand, a beautiful enhancing smile forms on her lips.

She closed her eyes with content.The rhythmic sound of rain calmed her racing heart. She was enjoying her little peace, engrossed fully in her own world.

"Thud..."

Suddenly the door bursted open with a loud thug making her jump out of fear. Turning her head, her fearful eyes met with none other than Antony Blake, her father. She immediately lowered her head.

Orchid could hear her own heartbeat. It was running so fast that she's afraid it will break her ribcage. She gripped the edge of her so hard dress almost tearing it.

Mr. Blake didn't walk in the room but his presence was enough to make her feel suffocating.

"Is he going to punish her again? But she didn't do anything wrong as far as she remember." Orchid thought as numerous possibilities haphazard her head.

She must be kidding, her father punished her for his mistakes also. She just praying, she didn't have to go to the basement tonight.

Mr. Blake stared at the little girl head to toe for a few seconds. The more he saw her the more angry he got and the more hatred he felt towards her. He could't help it, every time he saw her, he wondered how someone could resemble so much to anyone, And her eyes ,they are exactly like ...

His fist tightened automatically. He forced himself not to think further.If it was not for Mr. King ...

"Come with me.There are some important guests here. Don't you dare to make a fool out of yourself." Mr. Blake barked at her, making her flinch visibly.

Without waiting for any response he walked away but halted when he notices, Orchid was not following.

" What are you waiting for, follow me?"

His cold voice was enough for Orchid to go on her knees.Just like that he walked away, he never bothered to explain anything to her. Probably this was the first time he ever talked to her without cursing.

She wondered, had he ever love her or just for once cared about her like a normal dad for his daughter.

Sometimes she wished that her father would love her like others .

After all she was also a child who wanted her parents'love but seemed like it's never gonna happen.

She was so afraid to look at his eyes, the malice for her in his eyes, the disgust ...she just hated it. It pained her like hell.

Orchid didn't waste time following him. She knew the consequences of disobedience. She couldn't afford it.

But she was so afraid. Who was she gonna meet?. Her dad never allowed her to meet anyone then . What's if it was another punishment of him.Although she hardly made mistakes, somehow he always has his way to punish her. She didn't think she will be able to take any punishment today. She wasn't fully healed from yesterday's beating.
