Chapter Hundred and seventy

 1 be Sunny tried her best to act normal, to act as if she haven't heard anything but it was killing her just knowing that the man standing here has lied to her all her life.

She clenched her fist in anger and fought to remain calm. "We're invited for lunch this after, so I believe you be prepared soon". 

Sunny found herself looking at her dad confusedly. "I thought our flight leaves soon". "No, Sunny, it leaves tonight so we still have a lot of time left to spend". What about the Fair, what about her friends......

"I thought we're leaving this afternoon? Sunny asked in shock, she couldn't bear to disappoint her friends. She had promised them that she would be at the Fair tonight and if she didn't make it .....she didn't even want to think abt that.

"No, we won't be leaving this afternoon.....". "But.....the Fair..... She found herself speaking. "What? The look on her father"s face said it all, she was really going to disappoint her friends.

"Nothing dad, it nothing" Sam nodded and patted her head before leaving the room, Sunny found herself standing there without saying a word..... she couldn't believe this!

She had been lied to again, she thought she would be at the Fair now ....she'll end up disappointing her friends. 

She couldn't take both pain at once, knowing that she had been lied to all this while and Rebecca had been telling her the truth and.....had wanted her back but ....her made believe parents had to told her the opposite of the truth.

This means she had been wrong, she had said a lot of mean and hurtful words to Rebecca and what about Tara, she had knew about this.

She had made her believe she loves her but what if that was also a lie because if she loves her, she wouldn't had lie to her.

She felt confuse, speechless and angry, she needed answers, she had a lot of questions that deserves answer and the only person that could give her answer was that her mum friend.

She had met him last night at the elevator and he had known his mum, this means he was the only person to give her the answer she needed but how and where could she see him again.

She wouldn't be able to focus if she didn't get answers Maybe she heard wrong, maybe she misunderstood what his father was discussing with Mark and now she needs real answer.

About Tara being barren, getting custody of her and why they had lied about Rebecca, it felt too much to handle. She Bent over and held her head, praying that the swaying headache would Stop.

The constant whisper of her dad's discussion, she have to find him. She rushed and dress for this lunch and within some minutes she finds herself down the lobby, looking for this man.

She searched for him around the places she had been to in the hotel and when it seems fruitless, she made her way up the hotel rooms maybe she'll be able to find him up here.

"Sunny! She instantly jerked in fear and turned to see her angry looking father. "I have been looking for you up to an hour! He seems furious.

"Where have you been and why are you out from your room!  "I....I.... I'm sorry, I was out here..... looking for you". "I didn't ask you to, I asked you to get dressed and wait not to look for me.....you made me worried"

"I'm so sorry, I thought I would save you the stress of coming to my room" "Come Let's go". Sam said without another word, he wouldn't want to be late to the invite.

All through the drive to their destination, Sunny found herself staring at the man who had lied to her all through her life. What else was he hiding from her, something worst and abomination.

She felt like scrambing into his brain and finding out the truth, she just stare not knowing what emotions to feel.

 Anger, hatred, confused or guilty.....she guessed that she was feeling all these emotions and it seems to be screaming loud in her head and tearing her apart.

She looked away when her dad look her way, she still couldn't believe it. Age wanted to shut her eyes and when she wakes up all this would be a bad dream.

But she Kept opening and found that it wasn't a dream and would never be, she couldn't even talk to anyone, the only person she has now is herself.

Wrapping her arm around her body, she waited patiently for them to arrive hating the way her father gave lied and told her that they would be back before evening.

She would disappoint her friends even if it was the last thing she ever wanted. "Are you alright?

She opened her eyes to see her father watching her with a concern expression. She nodded "I'm fine". Sam turned away and focused on the road again.

"I'm happy that you're able to make "Thanks" the man led them in, beckoning them toward the dining table that was set on the terrace, it overseas  rest of the city.

She would had been excited to have the view but Sunny found herself disliking everything, the man, his wife and Even the son who sat like a structure doll and kept smiling toward her from time to time.

"How are you doing my dear? "Fine" she answered but that was the opposite of what she was feeling now, she was feeling betrayed and guilty but she was just here pretending to be okay.

"You're such a beautiful girl, my husband told me all about you and how intelligent you are and I'm so glad when I heard he invited you over along with your dad"

Sunny tried to remain be neutral and calm but it was just too much to handle, the servant served lunch and she tried to focus on her food.

Maybe, it would give her something to think about but it seems impossible as she kept thinking remembering the discussion she overheard. 

"I need to use the restroom..... please" age blurted out while clenching her fist tight out of nervousness. "Umm...it fine, the servant wii lead you to the restroom" the woman smiled sweetly at her but it only turn her off, the boy smiled nicely at her.

It just pissed her off all of this, it really annoys her, but she smiled back and followed the female servant as she lead her down the hall to the restroom.

She thank her with a smile and made her way inside, only then did she take a long breathe to calm her aching heart.

How could she act like nothing had happened, her whole life have been a lie.  And now she have to act as if nothing was wrong. She went over and splashed water on her face, it help calm her down.

She looked at herself in the mirror not knowing what to feel exactly, she wanted to cry out but she just feel numb, she continued to splash water on her face.

Just to feel herself and get back to her Normal self and after a while she knew that they'll be worried if she didn't get back to the terrace. 

She exhale hard and made her way out, she didn't want to go back up there again, she didn't want to appear all nice and decent again.

It was eating her up inside, this was all scam all she needed now was an explanation. When she finally made it back, her father and the host wasn't around anyone.

"What took you so long darling? The woman asked with her usual smile that have found a way to piss her. "Nothing" age replied taking back her seat.

"That's okay, I'll leave you guys s to get to know each other well" she smiled and left them both, Sunny just sat there without saying a word.

That's the last thing she wanted now was to talk to anyone, after a while of silence which she prefered then she heard the boy speak and tried to ignore.

"I said my name is James, your name is Sunny right?  "Can you not talk to me please? She feels irritated and annoyed at herself, it wasn't his fault but she still wanted to rash out on him.

"Okay, he responded and kept quiet for some seconds, it was better this way. She wants the silent. She really want that, she found herself sitting she staring at the city.

Her friends would be calling and waiting for her and would actually think that she was ignoring them which isn't true. 

"Since you don't what to talk, I can show you around? Sunny ignored him for some seconds, maybe it would help take her mind away from all this confusion and anger.

"Okay, if you say so". The boy smiled and stood up to escort her around, she allowed to boy to show her around. They have a very nice house but she wasn't impressed at all.

 She felt tears slide down from her eyes and was too late to wipe them out "Why are you crying? He asked stopping at the big portrait on the hallway to stare at her.

"No, no, I just have something in my eyes" "Should I help you" he can close to her. "No, it fine" Sunny pulled away and tried to smile her way out. "It fine, are you sure? 

"Show me other places in the house please? James hesitated but nodded as he led her to the library and outside the swimming area.  

"So what do you think about the house? She hated it that the walk gave ended, it wasn't that she found the house impressive it just that it gave her time to think.

"It nice". "Yes, My father paid a lot if money here, I'm so proud of him". "Why? she didn't know why she had ask "Of course, don't you see, he's so rich and made a lot of achievement, this house, his company....."

She don't know why but she thought him was stupid, he was like his father's doll blinded by money and lack any sense, he was just blind like she have been too.

Believing all the lies and nonsense she had been told.

Sunny thought about him, maybe his whole live had also been all lies and maybe when he finally realized the truth it would to late or he'll maybe he'll never realized the truth.

"Sunny" he turned to see James mother "You're dad is ready to leave". "Okay" as he felt instant relief being leaving him. She didn't want to be in a present of a person who constantly reminds her how foolish and blind she had been.

She made her way to her father and saw him already waiting by his car with his friend still by his side. "Sunny, I hope you enjoyed the lunch" "Yes, Mr. Estein, thanks" "You're welcome dear" he patted her shoulder.

"We'll hope to see you again* his wife smiled coming forward to give her a hug. "Me too". She hated this and as gently as she could, she pulled away from her and just with a smile she climbed into the car.

Wishing for them to leave as soon as they could, it was already late and she found herself thinking about her friends. How many times they had called and how disappointed they would be.

"You seems out of place for quite some time? Her father spared her a glance. "I'm not". Another look from his dad made her cringe. "why are you behaving do strangly?  

"I'm... I'm not....I'm Fine" but she her father wouldn't take that for an answer, she had been really out of place and each time she remember her Father conversation.

She starts to feel a raging anger inside her, they had fooled her all her life as and now the only thing that would make her happy was denied to her.

"I....I had plans with my friends tonight and it just turns out that I can't meet up, I really wished that I had.....

"You know it high time you stop thinking about those things, you have something else, something more important to be worried about on.....not some stupid Fair!

Sunny stared at her in shock, he knows about the Fair, Why would he do this if he knows.

"I can't let you spend your time on irrelevant things! "Dad, I'm not! It just a celebration that'll I have to spend with my friends, it important"

"Not more important than to thus now, you don't ever have to disobey me no matter what, this is more important than any kind of Fair you're planning on going, it for your own good Sunny!

She found herself speechless and angry at this man she called her father, why would he do this, if he had known.

Maybe all this she heard wasn't misunderstood, it was the truth. All she hears was the truth, this man never loved him, she was just using him because he wanted an heir but she needs the full explanation and details.

Did her mother really want her then, what really happened, she needed to be sure. She wanted to know more not just an half story, She wanted to know everything that happened and why her parents had hidden this from her.

She turned her head away and tried to focus outside the window, she couldn't wait to get back to the hotel even if it was fir a few minutes.

She wouldn't hesitate to find that man, she met at the elevator since he knows her mum he might also help to tell her to the rest of the Truth.

Finally, they arrived at the hotel. "We'll leave in an hour time, so pack your bags and don't wander around or make me look for you, you've grown up for that kinda thing"

Sunny nodded as her father left her at the lobby after giving her there permit to the hotel room, she made her way you but kept looking around to know if she'll see the man again.

But she ended up in her room, it just seem fruitless, if she didn't see the man. She didn't even know if he was still in to the premises or had left.

She was just left in her confused state but decided to pack get bags and then she would make her way downstairs to know if she'll see him before she leaves.

Really he needs someone to talk to him because she couldn't continue this pretense and anger.  She spent the next ten minutes trying to pack the few cloth that was laying around. She didn't care if her father found her wandering around all she cares now was the truth.
