Siya's POV.
The sun shone brightly on my face irritating my lazy self.With one hand I blocked the sun's rays and with the other I searched for my phone.I turned it on and was shocked to see that it was almost 8.30 am...how the hell did I sleep so long?I have had sleepless nights throughout these past 4 years.Those nightmares haunt me every day.But yesterday I dreamt of someone comforting me in my dream.Was it really him?I sat up with a jerk looking around my room.The bedspread near me was crumbled indicating that someone had slept beside me.And I smelled a familiar cologne on me.It was definitely him...it dawned on me that David had indeed slept beside me yesterday.But the question was how he had managed to sneak into my room without being caught by anyone .
I don't no why dad let him stay here knowing that I can never move on from him.I had loved him wholeheartedly and still do.Even if he had really tried to murder me ,I would still forgive him if he begs me for forgiveness.When dad told me that David was not involved in plotting my murder and that Ashley and Megan had used his body double to mislead me,I was shocked and angry at myself for mistrusting him.I was no less than others who had mistrusted me earlier.I wanted to go back to him,but then dad revealed something about David and my relationship which made me hate him .That one reason was enough for me to hate him for an entire lifetime.Yes ..dad told me the bitter truth of my life ...David and me were no longer married which reminded me that our marriage was based on a contract for one year.David never cared to terminate the contract after I had forgiven him.It clearly meant I was not his priority at all.And with time,my priority also had changed and I no longer remained that naive and innocent girl who miserably fell in love with him.
My heart still beats faster thinking about him.Not a single day have passed when I hadn't missed him.But after that murder attempt on me I'm not the same anymore....I have changed ...for good...but this cold exterior is nothing but a wall that I have built around me to protect myself from getting hurt again.For 2 years I have suffered heartbreak and depression.But my family stood by me,especially Ian,he took a break from his career just to be with me during those hard times.And dad was working from home just for my sake.Although he never cried in front of me,I have seen my dad shed tears of blood seeing my broken self.He constantly blamed himself for not being a good father.At first I was hostile towards my newly found family except Ian.Though he had hidden facts from me,I couldn't bring myself to hate Ian.Afterall ,he is the reason why I'm still alive and reunited with my family.Slowly,I accepted each and everymember of my family.But my acceptance was like ambrosia for my dad.He was like the happiest man on earth.I was pampered mostly by dad and Damien,they were both competing to make it up for the years I had lost being with them.Mom,Ian and Isabella were being themselves ...realistic and sarcastic.In these four years,if mom was not around to guide and scold me,I would have become a spoilt brat in no time,both spoilt and rotten by my dad and Damien.
Thinking of Damien,brought me back to the events of yesterday and I was confused why David was still claiming me as his wife.It's true that we were both played by our destiny which resulted in both of us suffering,separated by the distance between us.Our life story was ruined by a cruel fate...that never meant to give us a happy ending...because happy endings occur only on books and movies,not in reality.I got out of the bed to get ready and go to work.
After getting ready ,I went to the dining area to have my breakfast.The scene that welcomed me there was as pretty as a picture.My arrogant brother Damien was feeding baby Siyara breakfast and she was seated on his lap happily talking to him while pulling his cheeks.The angry brother who was threatening David yesterday was replaced by a caring and loving father figure .And to their left ,Ian and Alan were seated bickering and having their breakfast.My dad,mom and Isabella were not present there.And my eyes wandered around the room,searching for him...he was no where around...Why am I searching for him?...he can just go to hell..I mentally cursed myself for being vulnerable.
"Good morning mama"...baby Siyara greeted me in her cute voice.
"Good morning baby"...I greeted her back.I may have grown indifferent through the years but I was not heartless to hold a grugde against a small child.
"Where is papa?",she asked me again.
I was confused as to why she was claiming me and David as her parents.And what sort of game David was playing by making a small child acknowledge me as her mom.And why have Drew and Amy given up their own blood's custody to David....Aaargh...why am I getting involved in their family matters...This is what I hate the most...the moment he stepped into my life...my peaceful life once again turned chaotic.Dad was right ..he and his family are toxic for me...It's better for me to forget him and move on in life.And moreover I have promised my dad that I will never go back to him and I will never hurt my dad.Maybe I still love David, but my love for something or rather someone else has become my top priority now.So I will make David hate me so that he will stop claiming me as his wife and go back to Vegas with Siyara.
"He is not here baby",Ian replied to Siyara's question bringing me out of my thoughts.
"Maybe dad is making him clean the stables",Ian said sarcastically looking at me.
I glared back at Ian.I felt like he was accussing me for David's plight.But somewhere I knew he was right.David never made me sleep in the servants quarters nor did he make me a maid at his house.I was rather free to roam around his house and do as I please.But why is dad doing this.I know he is trying to get back at David for my sufferings.But letting him be near me is not helping me at all.I know that dad would never give him a chance...He is just taking pleasure in showing him his place.Dad reminds me of David himself...both are very good at spoiling their daughters.
"Good morning little bear...Did you sleep well?",dad sat near me kissing my forehead.
"Good morning dad...Yes I did",I replied.
"Of course,she slept well ...isn't it obvious?",Ian said with a I know why you slept well look on his face.Wait...that means he knows that David slept with me in my room and Ian is the one who helped him sneak into my room.Ian ...you are so dead today.I mentally scoffed making a note to myself to confront him later when dad is not around.
"Good morning Mr.Knight...You are fuckin hansum"...Siyara greeted my dad causing everyone at the table to choke on their food.
"Damien"...Dad and me snarled at Damien together.Ian and Alan started laughing hysterically.
"Is this what you teach a child?...and that too in a day...Thank god your mom is not here"...dad scolded Damien who looked like a frog in boiling water.
"But dad...I never said any of those things in front of her",he defended himself.
"Siyara baby...where did you learn these"..I asked her calmly.
"Aunt Bella told these to Dami uncle in the morning"..she replied innocently.
"Wow someone was seduced early in the morning.No wonder that particular someone looks so tamed",Ian teased Damien while the latter sneered at him.
"See it's not me ...you all just need a chance to taunt me",Damien said like a cute puppy.
"Isabella is so dead..where is she?",I asked him.
"She went to our penthouse to be with Asher and Alyssa .Mom was with them yesterday as their nanny Chloe wanted a day off.So today Isabella is going to be with them for the entire day",he explained the reason why mom and Isabela were absent.
"May I bring Asher and Alyssa here,Dad",...I looked at my dad with expectation.
"No...but you can go and visit the kids.And since Isabella is with them today,their vocabulary is going to turn colourful today",my dad said nodding his head and smiling.
And he is right,..Any child will have a good vocabulary after being with Isabella just for a minute.She just forgets that she is with kids and plays and fights with them like she is younger than them.But she is totally a mother material...a sassy one though.Actually both Damien and Isabella are very good with children.If only...I sighed but was cut off from my thoughts by Ian's sudden conversation with dad.
"But dad...Asher and Alyssa can come here right...it's been long since I spent time with my favourite nephew and niece.And it's not like they are banned in this house",Ian tried challenging dad by playing with his words.
"Mind your language ,young lad...they are my grandchildren and I know what is the best for them",dad replied scorning at Ian.
"But everyone deserves to spent time with them...I only meant that..nothing else".,Ian said smirking meaningfully at dad while he was boiling with anger.
"Why don't you stay there at Damien's house today with the kids?",dad sugested to me calming down quickly.
"Ok dad...I will stay at Damien's penthouse today",I said side hugging my dad and excusing myself to go for my job as I was getting late.As I turned around to leave after saying my goodbyes to all of them,I bumped into someone's hard chest and my nostrils immediately got a whiff of a familiar scent .It was him...David ...looking at me with longing in his eyes and unspoken love...
"Papa...You are here ...com have brekfust with me",Siyara wiggled in Damien's lap.
"Well little Siyara baby...your dad will have breakfast in a special place, not here",my dad said smirking at David.I felt my chest tighten in pain seeing him getting mistreated by my dad.But I didn't do anything...I just stood there looking at his misery with an emotionless face.
"This is ridiculous dad,you can't mistreat someone like this",Ian protested in anger.
"I can and I will...He volunteered himself to prove his love for my Vina.Let's see how much patience he has",dad replied humorously.All these while ,I was watching David through the corner of my eyes.The once arrogant and cold man had changed into a helpless person willing to go to any extent to get his love back.I didn't want to go back with him,because that means I will have to hurt dad.My dad is so special to me ,so I can never think of hurtinghim,not even in my dreams..And also I can't just let myself see David suffer for my sake.I have to do something to make him leave from here as soon as possible.
"Angel...how are you?",he asked me like I would break if he raised his voice even a bit.
"This is for you",he said extending a box towards me.Seeing the box,I knew what exactly I should do to make him hate me and go back to Vegas with Siyara and without bothering me anymore.
