I'll find you Daddy
Romance Lidwina had never known a father figure since she was a child. All the men in her grandmother's house were referred to as uncles. Her peers and schoolmates refer to her as an illegitimate child.
These words were first spoken to Lidwina when she was in the first grade of elementary school. Despite her lack of comprehension, she felt a twinge of mockery at her companions' exclamations.
"Mama, what does the term illegitimate child mean?" she inquired cautiously.
"Where did you get that information? Mama warned you not to hang out with those bad kids "said her mother, who did not respond.
Lidwina had been thinking about her friends' jokes for days. They also inquire as to "where is your father?" and "you don't have a father do you?”
The words have bothered her and kept her awake at night. She felt like she was carrying a big secret in her chest until she couldn't anymore.
Lidwina once asked her mother, "Do I have a father?" "Where has my father gone?"
Her mother's face became pale, and her lips trembled. "Of course you have a father; all children do." She said firmly, her teeth clenched.
"Where, then, is my father?" "Why isn't he at home like the other daddies?"
Sophia couldn't hold back her tears, so she sat down and sobbed without responding to Lidwina.
When Lidwina saw her mother sobbing, she felt guilty for making her mother sad.
"I'm sorry, Mom, don't cry, Nana won't ask about Dad..anymore..." Lidwina, too, wept.
Lidwina has never asked Sophia since. She didn't want to upset her mother. Her only hope is that one day she will discover where her father is.
"Perhaps he is my father," she imagines and fantasizes every time she meets a man.
Her imagination ran wild until Lidwina formed a distinct image, the figure she referred to as the father.
Her heart felt certain when she had grown up and met a middle-aged man. " Certainly, this is my father!"
She passed out right away. You might like
MY MASTERS
Mercy Kay For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league. Emily hurriedly left the club, feeling disappointed and depressed, unaware that she had also caught the group's attention. A world of wicked pleasure, three handsome men. Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.
Married To The Arrogant CEO
SarahBlythe. "I want a divorce Noah", I said to him. My heart beating and knees weak. I was scared of how he would react.
'He should be happy right? I mean I am giving him a way out of the bondage of a marriage', I said to myself.
Noah expression darkened and I could see his jaw tighten. He stood up and took slow steady steps towards me with both hands in his pocket.
I immediately got scared and moved backwards.
Noah Wellesley isn't the abusive type but he hates me to the bone, I wasn't sure what he is capable of.
"Wh-what are you doing?", I asked, still moving backwards. Before approaching him for the request of divorce, I promised to be strong and not to let him intimidate me but... he is Noah Wellesley, the only man I have loved, and maybe still love.
"What did you say?", He growled and I flinched.
"I want to end this sham of a marriage, shouldn't you be happy?!", I suddenly found the courage to speak back.
"And what makes you think I would be happy if we divorce?", He uttered and my brows furrowed.
What did he mean by that?
I stopped moving and he soon caught up to me, his eyes dancing on my lips and I saw the hidden feelings in his eyes.
'Why is he like this?', I asked myself. My Stepbrother, My Ruin
Daisy_D "I knew he was trouble the moment I walked into our shared house. The way his hands gripped my waist when no one was looking, the way his voice dipped when he said my name, it wasn't just wrong, it was dangerous. He wasn't just my stepbrother, he was my undoing."
