I went to sleep with a big smile on my face, I woke up as early as 7 and went to dads room. I wanted to get his blessings on this happy day before any one wakes up. When I entered the room dad was sleeping with his back towards me, I moved closer to him and sat next to him on the bed.
" Happy birthday my dear" dad said catching me off guard. He sat up and I moved closer to him, he placed his hand on my head and wished me again. " Happiest birthday my dear princess, this day would forever be the most special day for me, had your mom been alive, am sure we would celebrate to the fullest, I remember clearly how on a day like this I held you in my arms for the first time, it was the most beautiful moment of my life, my little princess Aria" dad said patting my head.
" Thank you dad, thank you, you know before I had my daughter I always thought birthdays is all about the one celebrating it, we are celebrating them for been a year older, it's their special day and all, but after been a mother myself I realize birthdays aren't just about the child but also the mother, the mother who put her life on line and face a near death experience to bring a new life to this world, this day isn't only special for me, but my parents as well who birth me and bought me to this world, and stopped at absolutely nothing to make me happy and protect me, thank you dad, and mom, thanks I really hope you are happy up there, I love you all so very much and no words in this world can explain that, cheers mom" I smiled sadly at the ceiling.
" My dear, your mom and I are proud of you, and on this day I want you to promise me that nothing would stop you from avenging your mom's death, my pain and your humiliation, those three should know that they messed with the wrong family, show them the power of the name Aria Thayer" dad said with fire in his eyes.
" I promise you dad, infact the gift I want to give you today is the beginning of their destruction, from today hence forth they would know no peace in their life, their lives would be turn upside down, they would lose their prestige and they would beg for death, I would tear them apart and avenge us dad I swear to you" I promised him.
" Very well dear, my prayers and blessings would always be with you, go on, go and do what needs to be done, show the world that Aria Thayer is not a force to be reckoned with" dad said with pride.
We talked a little more with that and I went back to my room, I had breakfast with dad, thomas and kaida in the dining room, I had made a condition that from now onwards dad would have breakfast with the rest of the family. Thomas kept flirting with me from under the table with his leg but I remained expressionless, after breakfast I told kaida I had to go to the countryside today as I am a tourist and she agreed.
I told her I was taking dad along because the change of environment can fasten his recovery and after that she can file a lawsuit against him, which she agreed. I took dad to Kendall's house where we had a party on full blast, it was fun. We enjoyed ourselves, played games, singed and danced and you could see dad's big beautiful smile as he dances with his granddaughter.
The entire day was really fun and we didn't realize it was night, later on dad and I returned to the Thayer mansion. Kaida was out with friends which left only Thomas and the maids at home. Later on after I took dad to his room Thomas came to meet me, he had bought along the company's annual report for the last five years, documents of his transfer of shares where he signed over his shares to me, and the company's annual plan.
" I did all you asked me to do dear, do you now believe that am serious about you?" He asked.
" Yes I do, but one last thing, I was watching the CCTV footage this morning to delete what happened between us in the living room and the kitchen and I came across something which I bet you would be interested to see" I told him.
I played the footage of the conversation between helen and kaida to Thomas and he was red with anger. " They want to kill me don't they, let me kill the first, am not going to leave anyone alive" Thomas said as he barged for the door.
" Relax, calm down, the problem with you is you don't have a sharp and rational brain, their conversation is in our favor, what do you think will happen if this footage is released to the media and paparazzi. We would also make a video of you tomorrow where by you are chased by some goons, you would be saying, am so sorry kaida, I won't expose you, I promise to keep quite and disappear from your life, plz don't kill me, I won't tell anyone what you did to aria and her family" I explained to Thomas.
" But why would we do that" he asked confuse. " Holly molly, you are so dump,if that video of yours is also released you will go missing from the world, or atleast that's what we would make them believe, everyone would attack kaida and Helen for your disappearance, while in truth we would elope, we would return years later and explain to the world that I helped you escaped from the goons and you hid your identity to save yourself. By that time kaida and Helen would be in so much trouble and probably in jail, and we can live our lives happily with no suspect" I explained.
" Your very smart, my hot beauty and brains" Thomas said with a grin. " I sure am don't worry, now go and get ready for tomorrows drama ok" I told him. " Sure" he replied and walked away smiling like the fool he is. He would Indeed go missing but won't return to give that speech, I thought to myself.
