8. Wynter.
Sabrina’s POV:
The next day I was all set to leave for the resort. We will be staying there for over six days, and the interview I have to conduct will be held in a large hall situated in the same resort.
Thanks to Mark that my stay is taken care of, here I am waiting for Mark and Chris, who said that they would pick me from my place and go there together.
I heard a loud honk coming from down and rushed out to see Chris and Mark waiting with Chris seated in the front seat and Mark driving the Car.
“Hey guys where have been? I was waiting for such long,” I asked them.
“Good morning baby girl and you can scold Chris later, he is the one who couldn’t get his hands off me,” he said while nudging Chris by his elbow.
“Gosh stop it you too, we can continue with your PDA later let’s get going by now” I got into the backseat of their Car.
“Go get a boy” they both rolled their eyes at me.
"I already have one" I clicked my tongue annoyed.

“This is your card and we will go search for best room in this block,” Mark said. They insisted I choose a room for myself, but I was satisfied with whichever was available.
Nevertheless, I got a room in the VIP section couldn’t ask for more, I guess, before I could leave for my room Mark and Chris came towards me.
“Can’t let me out of your sight you two” I rolled my eyes at them.
“That too but apparently this floor has the best rooms in this resort,” Chris said, looking at Mark.
“So which one have you decided?” I asked, raising a brow.
“The one next to you, we wanted a last on this floor that’s also beside you but couldn’t get hands on that because the person I said you, who is going to receive the award, CEO of Wynter cooperation is staying In that room” Mark explained in one breath and sighed after he finished saying.
“Why are everyone so hell bent on having the same room” I muttered under my breath, but Chris heard it.
“Because that’s the most lavish room in this structure,” said Chris.
“Not like it’s any of my business never mind see you guys tomorrow, and I hope your room is sound proof I don’t want to hear moans and groans,” I teased them.
“Sabrina!!!” Chris shouted with a flustered look, whereas Mark was grinning happily.
“Don’t worry I have made arrangements for that,” Mark said, and Chris huffed, annoyed.

I got freshen up and looked out of the window and lost in my thoughts, thinking about my parents and My Angel Arman or Travis. However, he liked to be addressed.
Since yesterday after seeing him in his Car, an uneasiness has spread in my heart, I tried ignoring it, but it didn’t go.
While pulling the curtains off and going to sleep, maybe I can again dream of happy moments with my Angel. but Alas I didn't
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
The next day I was again standing in front of the same window enjoying the fresh morning breeze entering from that side, bringing serenity to my heart.
I was revising questions. Mark has asked me a question about those entrepreneurs and featured those. He asked me not to miss the questions he had written for the CEO of Wynter Cooperation.
Suddenly, I saw a cute little girl about three years playing near the pool, which was just underneath my room. Then it clicked me she was heading towards the pool, and there was no adult to supervise her I don't think she knows how to swim.
I tried looking for some adults around but spotted none.
I didn’t think twice before rushing down the stairs in my PJ’s, reaching in just enough time to pull her away from the pool. She squeled as she felt someone pulling her with force from behind.
We both rolled on the ground with me falling on my back, and she landed on top of me, her eyes tightly shut, “Mama!!” she exclaimed, her eyes still closed. Maybe she is calling for her mother.
“Hey baby are you alright?” I asked, but this little girl seemed to be frightened.
I pulled her up along with me and dusted her clothes for dirt which got on us as we stumbled.
“Alright now?” I asked. She met my eyes and nodded her head gently.
Now I can see how beautiful she is, her green eyes were glistening with tears, those long lashes prominent that I couldn’t miss out even if I wanted to, she was brunette just like me, and they were parted equally on both sides, not braided, or something just let them the loose length of which reached till her hips.
Her lips pursed in a thin line. She seemed as though she could cry at any moment, and I didn’t want that to happen. I have a soft spot for kids. I don’t know what made this adorable Angel upset.
“Hey I am Sabrina” I tried lightening her mood and forwarded my hands for a shake, but her following action surprised me.
She engulfed me in a hug, her head resting on my shoulder as I was still crouched on the same level as hers.
“Mama!!!” she said again, maybe I should take her to her mother.
“You want to go to your Mama, that’s alright we can search for,” I said to her in a soothing tone and gently caressed her long shiny hair.
But she nodded her head negatively.
“You don’t want your mama to find you?” I again asked.
She didn’t respond, so I asked a different question.
“So what’s your name?” I asked.
“Wynter Grizelle King,” she said in her sweet voice. I think I have heard a part of this name somewhere.
“And I am Sabrina,” I said, my name once again.
“Just Sabrina, I have two names Wynter and Grizelle, and you have only one” she seemed to be wise to someone of her age, and I already love her, someday if I have a daughter, I want her to be like Wynter.
“I too have two names, Sabrina Iris Kline, Everyone calls me Sabrina or Sab but my parents used to call me Iris,” I said to her, and she smiled at me.
Suddenly a woman started coming towards us, seeing her Wynter hid behind me. That woman didn’t seem to acknowledge my presence as she pulled Wynter from behind me.
“Where have you been you brat you know how stressed your dad is? He’s been searching you everywhere like maniac,” she scolded, and to say I already hated her would be an understatement. is that a way how you speak to kid?.
They are meant to be treated with kindness, care, and empathy, but this woman is straight out lashing at her, but I guess I don’t have a say in this. She seemed to be her mother and who am I to say in this matter.
Then Wynter pulled herself from that woman and hugged my legs. She seemed afraid of that woman.
“You seem to not understand my kind words let me get your Dad,” she huffed and went away from there.
“Was she your mother?” I asked Wynter as I saw the retreating figure of that woman.
“No she was Aunt Helen, and I call her aunt hell” I laughed at her words. This little girl seems to have a smart mouth.
“So where is your mama?” I asked, what right did that woman have to lash at this little Angel? I will make sure to have a word with her parents before I send Wynter off.
“Mama don’t stay with us she stays with Angels and God,” she said. I was quick to catch on her words, which means she doesn’t have a mother.
“Oh I am sorry about that, and what about your dad?” I sympathized with her. I know how hard it is to live without a mother.
“Daddy had meeting he will come now and Nanny Ann says that nobody should feel sorry for my mamma, Angels love her and they took her so that she could see me from up there,” she said and pointed her small finger towards the sky, and I feel more sorry for her why did she have had to have denied from mothers love in such little age.
“Your Nanny Ann is right baby, and you know Angels took both my Mamma and Papa and you know all three of them are happy in heaven watching and protecting us,” I assured her.
“See we are same so friends?” I asked.
“Friends,” she squealed happily and hugged me. “You know mama said I will find new Mamma really soon.”
"when did your mamma say you this" I asked.
"three days back she came to meet me"
I guess she has dreamt something about her mother. I hope she finds a new mother.
“Can you be my new mamma?” she asked with hopeful eyes. I was stunned by her question, ‘I guess she just want someone to call her as her mother’ how can I break her little heart? I think she called me mamma wouldn’t hurt. She will eventually understand when she grows.
“Yes you can call me Mamma,” I said to her.
“Yay I have a mamma now, Mamma Iris” she danced happily around me, and hearing that name bought a lot of emotions. Only my parents used to call me by that name.
Never mind, I should learn from this little girl to be happy. I started playing with her to distract myself and wait until her father would arrive to get her.
I was poking her sides, and she giggled happily. “Daddy!!” She screamed and started running behind me, still laughing.
I stood up and decided this man would hear an earful from me who leaves such a small child on herself, and upon that, he had sent that b***h to get her.
I turned around to scold him, but my blood ran cold seeing the person in front of me.
