Keep your hand on my heart and
Promise me that
"You'll never leave me."
After reimbursing from graduation ceremony with an award in one hand and a certificate in other, Janette noticed something unprecedented in her backyard, apart from her father's old car a silk black expensive SUV was parked there.
Is it the justification, of her parent's absence from the best day of her life?
She decided to irritate the guest because of whom her parents were unable to attend one of the best days of her life.
Hanging her over-coat on the stand, she decided to sneak in her drawing-room which was also their dining room.
"Time runs Mr Stark" she heard her dad talking to a man in a Black suit with slightly grey hair, he looked familiar and wealthy.
Her mom was standing in the corner as if someone would have punished her, in the dress, she specially bought to attend her graduation ceremony, she gritted her teeth she decided to enter the room but halted, hearing her father's words.
"It's like yesterday you left little Janette in my arms."
"Are they serious?", she thought maybe she'd have heard wrong.
"Yeah I'm here to take her with me", the old man whispered, her mom and dad grasp and her mom started crying.
What's this happening?
Gathering courage she entered the room, amassing spotlight of the three people "Is she?" the old man asked and her dad nodded.
"My daughter" he finished his clause.
What the fuck are they serious, is it a dream.
Was her childhood nightmare, was coming out to be true?
When she was a child she watched a movie in which a girl's biological parents left her to the door if a couple who raised her, just to save her life.
Hope it's not her case because things like this only look good in movies.
"Sir did you hit your head somewhere", she let out, when she noticed the old man making his way towards her.
" Jane where are your manners?", her mother Glenda Cameron, warned but she's already made on her, so, she chooses to ignore her warning.
"I'll deal with you two later mom and dad, I'm really mad on you too so please don't make me say anything that I'm gonna regret later", the old man narrowed his eyes.
Before, he'd let out another word she makes her way towards her room throwing her achievements on her bed she moves towards the washroom.
After changing into relaxed clothes she found her mom sitting on her bed.
What does she expect now?
" Jane you're not our biological child.", she announced earning an incredulous look from her.
"Mom, where are the cameras, is this a reality show", her father entered the room while handling an unfathomable expression.his"There are no cameras this is reality be sensible jane", he said with his eyes on the ground it looked as if he was embarrassed that he wasn't able to meet her eyes.
"Have you both lost your mind!", she shouted but seeing her parents faces it looked like they were telling the truth.
" They are perfectly fine Jane you're my daughter Janette Rose Stark", The old man who now she remembered hearing the name Stark is Robert Stark the famous millionaire businessman who is more famous for showering his love towards his kids.
She found it fishy if he claims her to be his daughter so why she's getting special treatment from other of his kids.
She's not someone who stalk celebs but through her friend Anastasia, she knows he has two sons Aram, Henry and a nephew Eric who're handsome and spoilt.
"Sir what do you want from me?", she found herself inquiring while attempting to regulate her hostility
" Still child why are you testing my patience", he forcefully held her hand in a tight grip and made her face the mirror
"Compare your features with mine and then speck", she was too stubborn to accept the fact but for old man's sake, she tried to do as he said but immediately regretted her decision.
It was when she realized that whole twenty-five year of her existence was an enormous lie.
She was glaring at her face, it was the first time in her life that she was cursing herself for her features, the same green orbs and almost same nose, tears without her permission spill out of her eyes. She felt an urge to break everything present in this room, again she pinched herself to make sure that "Am I dreaming?" but her bad luck it is a reality.
And she thought that after graduation she'd make a good life for herself, but now she felt trapped!
"Traitors" she whispered to herself.
