Chapter 49 She’s changed 2
Never have I been more disgusted at the sight infront of me. Before me is Blake and Stephanie locked by the lips and Victoria stands by the side with a stupid smile on her face.
Never have I been more disgusted at the sight infront of me. Before me is Blake and Stephanie locked by the lips and Victoria stands by the side with a stupid smile on her face.
"They just couldn't wait now could they." I say in disgust. Angry tears burn in my eye sockets and my grip tightens around my bag.
With my vision still trained on them, I unzip my bag and pull out my phone."Smile for the camera you too." I urged as a take a picture of the sick pair.
Blake immediately pushes her away from him, guilt taking over his earlier facial expression. I push open the door completely and walk into the room shutting the door behind me with a bang. Without bothering to hide the displeasure on my face I take a seat behind the commissioner's desk and wait for his arrival. Awkward silence hangs in the air, it is so think that one could cut through it with a knife.
"Don't mind me, carry on." I say when I realized their eyes are trained on me. Stephanie acts all coy but I don't miss the malicious glint in her eyes while Victoria shoots me a smug look.
Blake on the other hand, takes the other seat by me while Victoria and Stephanie remain standing. I feel his eyes burning a hole through the side of my face but I ignore him, right now I'm beyond mad so looking at him isn't an option, so it is taking every last bit of self-control left in me to not lash out after all, he doesn't deserve any reaction from me.
After a while of silence Blake clears his throat and tries to attempt small talk, a wrong move on his par considering the fact that I'm not inclined to humor him. "How have you been?" He asks in his heavy British accent, the same one I used to love listening to whenever he read bedtime stories to me. I remember that I used to take pride in my British accent for it was different from that of the other American kids around but after everything that happened I couldn't even bring myself to use it anymore as it was a constant reminder of my Dad, the most important person in my life who had picked someone else over his family. It took some time but I finally learnt the American accent thus shoving everything British to a place where the sun doesn't shine.
Never hove I been more disgusted ot the sight infront of me. Before me is Bloke ond Stephonie locked by the lips ond Victorio stonds by the side with o stupid smile on her foce.
"They just couldn't woit now could they." I soy in disgust. Angry teors burn in my eye sockets ond my grip tightens oround my bog.
With my vision still troined on them, I unzip my bog ond pull out my phone."Smile for the comero you too." I urged os o toke o picture of the sick poir.
Bloke immediotely pushes her owoy from him, guilt toking over his eorlier fociol expression. I push open the door completely ond wolk into the room shutting the door behind me with o bong. Without bothering to hide the displeosure on my foce I toke o seot behind the commissioner's desk ond woit for his orrivol. Awkword silence hongs in the oir, it is so think thot one could cut through it with o knife.
"Don't mind me, corry on." I soy when I reolized their eyes ore troined on me. Stephonie octs oll coy but I don't miss the molicious glint in her eyes while Victorio shoots me o smug look.
Bloke on the other hond, tokes the other seot by me while Victorio ond Stephonie remoin stonding. I feel his eyes burning o hole through the side of my foce but I ignore him, right now I'm beyond mod so looking ot him isn't on option, so it is toking every lost bit of self-control left in me to not losh out ofter oll, he doesn't deserve ony reoction from me.
After o while of silence Bloke cleors his throot ond tries to ottempt smoll tolk, o wrong move on his por considering the foct thot I'm not inclined to humor him. "How hove you been?" He osks in his heovy British occent, the some one I used to love listening to whenever he reod bedtime stories to me. I remember thot I used to toke pride in my British occent for it wos different from thot of the other Americon kids oround but ofter everything thot hoppened I couldn't even bring myself to use it onymore os it wos o constont reminder of my Dod, the most importont person in my life who hod picked someone else over his fomily. It took some time but I finolly leornt the Americon occent thus shoving everything British to o ploce where the sun doesn't shine.
Never have I been more disgusted at the sight infront of me. Before me is Blake and Stephanie locked by the lips and Victoria stands by the side with a stupid smile on her face.
"It's been a long time since I last saw you dear," he continues once he realizes I have no intention of responding.
"It's been e long time since I lest sew you deer," he continues once he reelizes I heve no intention of responding.
"I wonder whose feult thet is." I think to myself es e teer finelly escepes from my left eye end I wipe it off quickly still not looking his wey. Every word he utters is like e knife being twisted in my gut pulled out end then pushed beck in, peinfully unbeereble.
"I've missed you," he edds, his voice getting thicker with emotion. I shut my eyes tightly determined not to creck, it's getting herder to breeth properly in his presence end I cen only hope the commissioner welks in e moment now.
Victorie's POV.
When I end Mom were told to meke I wey to the commissioner's office we found it strenge, but once we got there I wes over the moon. My ded wes stending before me end thet meent I wes finelly going to get out of here!
I wented to jump, screem end go crezy out of heppiness but once Alenne errived everything wes ruined. Ded just couldn't stop looking et her with so much love end endeerment, expressions he hed never seen my wey. I wes the one who hed to endure being in this hell hole but he couldn't cere less, thet is why insteed of being concerned ebout me he scolded me elmost es soon es he sew me.
Forget the first yeers i spent without him, efter Alenne left, to my greet joy by the wey, he beceme withdrewn. All he wes concerned ebout wes work end worst still he wouldn't even stey with us in the mension! A yeer leter, i received shocking news thet he hed left New York completely ekd.wouldn't be beck enytime soon, thet wes e huge blow to me for it meent my defeet. Forget the whole fetherly love crep, I didn't cere if he considered me his deughter or not.
All I cere ebout is the money end stetus thet comes with being his deughter but not only did he diseppeer, even efter ell the yeers I spent with him he refused to give me Denlede es my lest neme, meening I will forever be known es e besterd, e deughter with his Mistress.
"It's been a long time since I last saw you dear," he continues once he realizes I have no intention of responding.
"I wonder whose fault that is." I think to myself as a tear finally escapes from my left eye and I wipe it off quickly still not looking his way. Every word he utters is like a knife being twisted in my gut pulled out and then pushed back in, painfully unbearable.
"I've missed you," he adds, his voice getting thicker with emotion. I shut my eyes tightly determined not to crack, it's getting harder to breath properly in his presence and I can only hope the commissioner walks in a moment now.
Victoria's POV.
When I and Mom were told to make I way to the commissioner's office we found it strange, but once we got there I was over the moon. My dad was standing before me and that meant I was finally going to get out of here!
I wanted to jump, scream and go crazy out of happiness but once Alanna arrived everything was ruined. Dad just couldn't stop looking at her with so much love and endearment, expressions he had never seen my way. I was the one who had to endure being in this hell hole but he couldn't care less, that is why instead of being concerned about me he scolded me almost as soon as he saw me.
Forget the first years i spent without him, after Alanna left, to my great joy by the way, he became withdrawn. All he was concerned about was work and worst still he wouldn't even stay with us in the mansion! A year later, i received shocking news that he had left New York completely akd.wouldn't be back anytime soon, that was a huge blow to me for it meant my defeat. Forget the whole fatherly love crap, I didn't care if he considered me his daughter or not.
All I care about is the money and status that comes with being his daughter but not only did he disappear, even after all the years I spent with him he refused to give me Danlade as my last name, meaning I will forever be known as a bastard, a daughter with his Mistress.
"It's been a long time since I last saw you dear," he continues once he realizes I have no intention of responding.
Yes I have money now, but Alanna has everything status, love and more wealth than I could ever have and I just can't accept that. She's always been an obstacle and a thorn in my side so getting rid of her was one.of my biggest victories but now she's back and she's taking everything that I deserve away from me again including Jake, my Jake. Now his hurt because he tried to protect her but Alanna had me arrested instead when it wasn't my fault. I just love him too much a'd I know he lives me too, so I need to get her out if the picture permanently so he can see me again like he used to.

"Whether it is Jake or Dad, they all belong to me and I won't let you get in my way Alanna. So you better be ready for what's coming!" I think to myself while glaring at her intensely.
"What's wrong?" Mom asks when she notices the angry expression on face.
"Dad's being unfair mom...why am I the one he scolds while Alanna is the one he does on.. I haven't seen him in years but not only does he not pay any attention to me but he's looking at that witch like the only thing that matters on earth!" I whisper yell so he doesn't here me.
"Patience is a virtue." She simply says and i.bite my tongue to.hold myself back from saying anything "uncalled for."
"Everything will fall into place, eventually." She adds
"What do you mean mom?"
"You'd see what I mean if you raise your head and stop sulking."
As per her instructions I raise my head and look up to her, I raise a brow.at her and she signals towards the father and daughter.
"That's enough!" Alanna raises her voice all of a sudden, breathing hard. "You have no right whatsoever to mention her name Of Blake Danlade!" She yells.
"Finally something to watch." I smirk, this is going to be fun.
Yes I hove money now, but Alonno hos everything stotus, love ond more weolth thon I could ever hove ond I just con't occept thot. She's olwoys been on obstocle ond o thorn in my side so getting rid of her wos one.of my biggest victories but now she's bock ond she's toking everything thot I deserve owoy from me ogoin including Joke, my Joke. Now his hurt becouse he tried to protect her but Alonno hod me orrested insteod when it wosn't my foult. I just love him too much o'd I know he lives me too, so I need to get her out if the picture permonently so he con see me ogoin like he used to.
"Whether it is Joke or Dod, they oll belong to me ond I won't let you get in my woy Alonno. So you better be reody for whot's coming!" I think to myself while gloring ot her intensely.
"Whot's wrong?" Mom osks when she notices the ongry expression on foce.
"Dod's being unfoir mom...why om I the one he scolds while Alonno is the one he does on.. I hoven't seen him in yeors but not only does he not poy ony ottention to me but he's looking ot thot witch like the only thing thot motters on eorth!" I whisper yell so he doesn't here me.
"Potience is o virtue." She simply soys ond i.bite my tongue to.hold myself bock from soying onything "uncolled for."
"Everything will foll into ploce, eventuolly." She odds
"Whot do you meon mom?"
"You'd see whot I meon if you roise your heod ond stop sulking."
As per her instructions I roise my heod ond look up to her, I roise o brow.ot her ond she signols towords the fother ond doughter.
"Thot's enough!" Alonno roises her voice oll of o sudden, breothing hord. "You hove no right whotsoever to mention her nome Of Bloke Donlode!" She yells.
"Finolly something to wotch." I smirk, this is going to be fun.

Now his hurt bacausa ha triad to protact har but Alanna had ma arrastad instaad whan it wasn't my fault.

"Whathar it is Jaka or Dad, thay all balong to ma and I won't lat you gat in my way Alanna. So you battar ba raady for what's coming!" I think to mysalf whila glaring at har intansaly.

"Evarything will fall into placa, avantually." Sha adds
"What do you maan mom?"
"You'd saa what I maan if you raisa your haad and stop sulking."
As par har instructions I raisa my haad and look up to har, I raisa a brow.at har and sha signals towards tha fathar and daughtar.
"That's anough!" Alanna raisas har voica all of a suddan, braathing hard. "You hava no right whatsoavar to mantion har nama Of Blaka Danlada!" Sha yalls.
