"Damn" I wanted to argue but nothing came out of my mouth. I thought that dad deserves some happiness because he was a single father who raised me to a bonafide adult and I think it could be a nice change of pace.
"Good for you" As I said these I slightly showed a smile and went out of my house to get some fresh air.
FATHER'S POV
"Don't worry Erica, he will understand in due time".Erica just showed a small smile and said
"let's go and prepare because we have lots of things to do for our wedding".
MC POV
When I returned home I saw my dad and Erica my soon to be stepmom drinking coffee while making lists or something. I decided to ignore them and went into my room but I didn't notice the small but creepy smile erica gave me.
(Timeskip 1 month)
My dad and Erica married shortly after some time. My dad said to me that he and Erica will go on their honeymoon which I didn't find any reason to refuse because it was not my place to say something. I didn't know that it was the last day to see my dad who was my only family next day I got a call from the hospital to identify a body I was terrified by the thought of my father dying. When I saw my father's dead body I was devastated my body got cold all the blood on my body dried and I remembered about erica where is she I asked the authorities they said a blonde woman was waiting outside. I confirmed my father's body and went outside to ask how my father died in an accident.
When I saw erica she was silently sobbing so I confronted her and asked her "Erica ho- how did my dad die?" she looked at me and said "when we were going to a restaurant your dad gone to order something but at that time a truck got dis balanced and went inside the restaurant and in the process, your dad was hit by the truck.
"Sorry Zlatan," she said
I didn't say anything and she hugged me and I ended up crying I didn't know that the woman in my arms was showing the creepiest smile any human can give.
ERICA POV
"Ah finally after ten you've finally united Zlatan". I tried my best to not smile while I was hugging him. This all started 10 years ago when both of my parents died My father was a drunkard who would beat my mom for money to buy alcohol and I never understood why my mother didn't say anything to my dad. But the day when dad came home saying he will leave her and go with another woman something inside of my mother snapped and she killed dad in front of me. While she was grinning like a madwoman with blood on her face she said to me
"Daughter if you ever find a man keep him with you forever and never let him be like your dad".Then she wrote a letter about out why and how she killed dad then committed suicide.
I was just lying on a bench in the park when I saw a small figure coming towards me. He had a unique hair colour while most of it was white but it had black strands and the back of his head had black hair he also had a canine coming out from his mouth I was sure he will become a bad boy sure in the future.
"Sister did something happen you don't look good," the boy said
I asked him "what is your name boy?"
"Sister you don't know that when we ask someone's name we should give our first fufu"
'Hmm this child is quite intelligent'
"Erica, my name is erica and what is yours"
