Emma And The LOVERBOYS

Emma's Pov:

"Come on, Emma; you’re too slow. Does it really have to take you ages to get me a cup of coffee?" Naomi groused as I hurried with a cup of coffee to her.

‘‘And where are the headphones I asked for?" Ivy asked, opening her palms.

"Sorry, Ivy; but I couldn’t find them in the room." I replied lazily, touching my forehead.

"What? Have you gone blind? What do you mean you couldn’t find it?" She groused.

"Come on girls. Maybe the fact that she is going to the Alpha High School has suddenly made her blind." Their mom said and they laughed lightly at me.

"I wonder why she insisted on going there. Does she think she will be able to win any of the lover boys?" Ivy asked and they laughed again. I stood while they all mocked at me.

I bent my head and sniffed.

'No, I couldn’t afford to shed a tear, not on a special day like this.' I said to myself.

"Enough of the jokes; I’ve warned you to stop doing this." I heard his voice and I smiled to see the only man I could call family.

Although he wasn’t my biological family, he had insisted I call him dad. Whenever he’s around, his wife and daughters never get to bully me.

I stood up and embraced him.

"You welcome daddy." I said cheerfully.

"How are you doing Emma?" He asked and patted my hair.

"Everything is fine dad. I can't wait." I said while smiling.

"I know. Just a moment." He said abruptly and climbed down the stairs into the sitting room and touched my hair again.

"Are you ready?" He asked and I nodded with a smile and took my bag from the table.

I looked at his daughters, and their faces were already swollen with rage.

I bent my head and walked out of the room with dad Mr. Douglas.

Mr. Douglas is actually my adopted father. He told me he had found me lying close to the river banks four years ago and he had taken me to the hospital.

But when I regained consciousness, I lost my memories and couldn’t recall a single thing from my past. So, I had no idea where I came from.

Mr. Douglas had even put me up on TV but no one came for me. So, he took me in as his daughter but his wife and kids never accepted me for once. They all saw me as a nuisance and didn’t want to associate with me.

His kids actually study in Washington DC, but just come over for the long vacation.

I’m just a sad, lonely girl who wonders where her family might be and why they never came for her.

Well, thank God I fell into the hands of someone as kind as Mr. Douglas. My daddy.
