~CORNER'S MANSION~

"What did you do?". He asked while Blaire said nothing.

"I've been asking you this question since yesterday, what did you do?". He asked again and she remained quiet.

"For the last time, what did you do?". He asked mad she sniffed.

"I'm sorry dad". She said and he chuckled.

"You are sorry? After giving you serious warning, you still went that far. Come off it. It's high time I stop this madness". He yelled breathing heavily.

"I'm so sorry dad. I don't know what came over me. Please!". She pleaded and he nod.

"Pack your things, you are moving down to Africa". He said standing to his feet.

"Dad, please don't tell me I'll be living with Uncle Steve?". She asked and he smiled.

"So it's now you just realized you will be living with him. He is the perfect match for you. After you've successfully leant your lesson, then you will return here". He said and she went on her knees.

"Dad please, if at all you need me to leave Korean, can I stay with my mum?". She askeand he shook his head.

"Your mum is also a bad and life tarnishing option. You are moving down to Africa tomorrow morning unfailingly. You have just today to pack your things and say goodbye to whoever your friends are". He said adjusting his collar.

"Dad, please! Uncle Steve is so strict! I will kill myself". She yelled but he turned deaf ears to her pleas.

"What kind of stupid fate do I have?". She asked wailing as she hit her hands repeatedly on the cold floor.

"I wish I could turn back the hands of time. Gosh! Exams are fast approaching and still he wants to send me to Africa. I hate my life so much". She spat before standing to her feet.

~HOSPITAL~

"Mum, I think I've found dad's daughter". Milky said immediately he entered.

"What are you saying?". She asked dropping the paper in her hands.

"I serious or should I found her already?". He asked scratching his head.

"You gat to be kidding me". She said rolling her eyes.

"I'm serious mum. She has been in Shadow High all this while. I even rescued her once from the hands of the school's bullies". Milky scoffed folding his arms.

"Then inform your dad about it". She said and he shook his head.

"He has to tell us the reason why he hates Archie so much. Or is there something we don't know?". Milky asked while she shook her head.

"There is a lot you both need to know resulting to why he hates Archie. It could have been you if you came out as the second child". She replied and he threw her a confused look.

"I'm lost". He said and she nod.

"It's nice you just tell him where his daughter is and settle all this". She replied and he shook his head.

"I'm quite stubborn right?". He asked and she nod chuckling.

"Good. I won't tell him where she is until he answers all my questions". He said and she shook her head groaning.

"You need to listen to me. It wasn't my fault either was it his. I guess it's the handwork of fate". She replied and he scoffed.

"Fate? You all keep blaming fate even if you are at fault!". He yelled while she nod.

"I agree with you on that but you need to keep your voice down. Like I said, it wasn't my fault nor his". She replied laying on the bed.

"Fine. How about you tell us?". He asked sitting on the bed.

"That's why you need to tell him about his daughter and let's see the outcome". She replied and he nod before standing to his feet.

"He will surely get a piece of my mind before I tell him where his daughter is". He said and stormed out of the room while she exhaled deeply shaking her head negatively.

~SHADOW HIGH~

Tessy walked around the school putting on a uniform meant for thieves with tears on her face.

Any female student that passes beside her will either push her slightly, throw dirt on her or laugh at her.

If there is one thing she hates most in this life is humiliation most especially public humiliation.

She hates that shit because that brings back the old memories of her late mother.

She kept taking slow strides around the school with her head down.

"I will forgive you on one condition". Callie said smiling while she shut her eyes tight.

"Explain yourself to the principal, tell him the kind of punishment you want which is the one I will tell you to do and explain yourself on the blog". Callie said and she gasped.

"What? You can't do it?". She asked and she nod.

"Why can't you do it? Your punishment is simple, just walk around the school for a whole day putting on the culprit uniform. The one meant for thieves precisely". She smirked folding her arms.

Tessy wiped her tears as she kept walking with her head down when she bumped into someone. She looked up slowly and quickly brought down her head.

Milky raised her head and saw visible tears on her face before taking his eyes down to her bare foot. She really looked helpless at that point.

He grabbed her hands pulling her to the lot since that is the only place he could think of. She stopped and looked down at her foot while he nod squatting.

He urged her to hop on his back and she did while he piggybacked her to his car. He dropped her and she hurriedly hopped into the car which he also did.

"So...?". He trailed off while she sniffed fiddling with her fingers.

"I.... She..... When.... I mean.....". She stuttered looked for the right word to start with.

"Can you just say something?". He asked and she gulped down her saliva.

"I'm sorry". She replied and he scoffed.

"For?". He asked staring at her.

"I framed Callie for stealing but it wasn't my fault". She cried as tears dropped down on the uniform.

"What were you thinking when you did that?". He asked and she shook her head.

"I don't know. Please I'm sorry. I've had enough embarrassment today. Please help me out I can't bare it till the close of the school". She cried pleading and all he could do was to stare at her.

"Do you know how many days she went through embarrassment?". He asked and she nod.

"I'm sorry. Please, I'm ready to make amends but not this way". She said still in tears and he felt hurt with her tears.

He pulled her into a tight hug leaving her speechless. He broke the hug and wiped her tears with his hands.

"You will be fine. The only help I can render is to talk to Callie". He said and she nod as tears strolled down her face.

"It's okay". He said wiping her tears again.

"Why are nice to me even after I did something bad". She said and he cleared his throat looking away.

"Wait here. I'll be back". He said and rushed out of the car while she smiled resting her head on the head rest.

~HOSPITAL~

He sat on the bed with his back resting on the pillows deep in thoughts with his hands on his stomach.

"Why do I feel there is something I need to know?". He asked inwardly.

"Why does dad hate me so much?". He asked and she coughed taking a glance at him.

"Erm..... It's nothing. I guess it's because you let her out when he told you not to". She replied and he shook his head.

"He has always hated me ever since I was born right?". He asked and she smiled patting his hair.

"That's not true. He loves you and I'm sure about that". She replied smiling while Milky stared at her awkwardly.

"I feel you are lying to me". He said and she shook her head.

"Why should I?". She asked still smiling and the same time patting his back.

"Wh..."

"Archie, that's enough. She said he doesn't so take it like that". Milky shunned him and he nod not moved with what Milky said.

He exhaled deeply shutting his eyes tight. He leaned backwards resting his head on the bed rest.

"I just hope it's not what I've been thinking about all this while". Archie said before opening his eyes.

LUNCH HOUR

"Hey Cal". Milky said as he sat beside her.

"Hey". She replied and he nod resting his back on the chair.

"Since you are the only one here, can I say whatever I wanna say here?". He asked and she nod.

"It's about Tessy". He said and she stared at him for a while before taking her eyes back to her lunch.

"I understand you went through a lot and still facing some challenges but can you please just forgive Tessy. She is really sorry for what she did". Milky pleaded and she nod.

"Why are you here on her behalf?". Callie asked resting her back as well.

"She is really sorry for what she did and I hope you can consider friendship. The embarrassment is too much for her". Milky said and she chuckled wiping her mouth.

"Are you sure?". She asked teasing him.

"Definitely". He replied trying hard not to smile but he couldn't.

"I knew it. You like her right?". She asked again and he groaned looking away.

"Just stop it okay". He said folding his arms.

"Anyways, my aim was for her to learn her lesson and I guess she has even though this cannot be compared to what I went through. It's settled" she said and he smiled standing to his feet.

"Be quick enough to introduce her to me". She yelled while he gave her a fuck you sign as he walked out of the cafeteria.

~~~

He got back to the car and met her almost dozing off. He tapped her shoulder and she flinched jerking her eyes open.

"Oh, you are back?". She asked rubbing her eyes while he nod.

"Have your lunch". He said handling her a small paper bag with a can of soda.

"Thank you". She said taking it from him and she need no one to tell her to devour it hungrily and all he could do was to stare at her.

~

She licked her lips and he smiled coming down from the car. He moved to the other side and pulled it open squatting for her to hop on his back.

"To?". She asked touching his shoulder and he shivered a little.

"To get your uniform". He replied standing to his feet. He adjusted her on his back while she buried her face on his back not ready to face the students.

~THREE HOURS LATER~

Milky got to his mum's ward with Tatiana and he sat down beside Archie while Tatiana took her seat on the couch.

Mr Hart walked in not quite long staring at Tatiana with keen interest. She smiled and the same time feeling uneasy with the awkwardness in the room.

"Who is she?". He asked and her smiles faded immediately feeling hurt by his question.

"You will know". Milky replied rudely while he scoffed staring at Archie who now looks healthy and fresh.

"Young man...."

"She is your daughter". Mrs Hart said cutting his words.

"What are you saying?". He asked and she nod.

"That's your daughter you've been looking for all this years". She said and he turned to her.

"What's your name?". He asked and she took in a deep breath.

"Tatiana". She replied and he gasped.

"Is this really you?". He asked and she nod smiling while he moved closer to her.

He touched her face and smiled before pulling her into a tight hug. He broke the hug before pulling her to the vacant couch.

"So why do you hate me?". Archie asked glaring at him.

"Your mother is in the right position to answer that question". He replied and they all turned to her.

"Your father has always requested for a female child even before we got married. His mother also wanted a female child. I could say their type is rare seeking for female child first".

"I got pregnant before we got married and we had no choice than to get married. After nine months, I put to bed and it was a male child who happens to be Milky".

"He was mad at first but he calmed down hoping the second trial would yield a female. I got pregnant two years later again and I could swear on my parents grave that you in my stomach was like a torture to me. Kicking everytime and that made it so uncomfortable and unbearable for me".

"It was time to put to bed and I was rushed to the hospital. I was in the labour room for good four days and I almost lost my life. After so many trials of pushing out the baby, on the fifth day, you came out with ease".

"The doctors made it clear to us that I can't have any other child again. He flared up saying I gave birth to a cursed child and that was the main reason why he has always wanted a female child. Not long after, he got a call that his mother got involved in a home accident which took her life".

"He became so angry and sad at the same time. He vowed not to have anything to do with a cursed child and some other rantings I can't remember. His mother was buried and everything went back to it been normal but not except his hatred for him".

"Five years later, I got to realize he has a mistress which you all took as his sister and she bore him a daughter but she couldn't live to take care of her child. He took full responsibility of the child not even giving me the chance to touch her".

"He carries her around like an egg and he almost killed Archie the day he moved closer to her. She grew up as a spoilt brat and when he saw she could do few things herself. He reduced his overprotective attitude towards her".

"Then, kidnapping young souls was rampant in the country then. He left the house leaving her in care of Archie but he who isn't aware of what was happening sent her to get a package at the gate and she never returned home".

She said and Milky turned to his father.

"What do you have to say about this?". He asked and he shook his head.

"Nothing".

"Really?". He asked and he nod.

"Let's go home baby". He said to Tatiana but she refused and he wondered what made her refuse.

"I won't return with you until you make up with them". She said and Archie hissed.

"It's nice you go home with your father. Nobody wants you here". Archie replied rudely rolling his eyes.

"See they don't want you here. Let's go". He said and dragged her out of the ward.

"Gosh! I can't take this". Archie said and also walked out of the ward limping.
