as he came near the window in the sunlight I could see the the sun rays hitting him and I saw his face
"y-y-o-u, I-I've s-seen y-y-ou b-b-e-fo-rre"
" I know, Elza " he replied in a husky voice
I was shocked how he knew my name
he came closer his...
"Sacrifice: give up (something valued) for the sake of other considerations."
🎀ELZA P.O.V🎀
Nothing I could do to stop this I had to accept it otherwise my Gramps would suffer, I am not scared of death since my dad passed away I am waiting to die someday
we got ready as we were going to meet him and his family
a car arrived it was brown in colour and looked expensive
a man stepped out
"Mam I am Tom Wilson sir has appointed me to escort you"
"Thank you" I replied
I sat in with Gramps beside me , I looked out of the window the huge buildings and Malls I've never been to big cities , as I was lost staring the city the car stopped and the doors opened I came out and I saw a huge villa in front of me
the guards guided us in
I saw a lady who was really pretty in her late forties and a man in his late fifties beside her who was taller than her dressed in a black blazer
"Oh my god she looks more beautiful now" the lady said holding my hands
"I am Emma Dornan's mother" she smiled
"I am Elza"
"I know Jacob's daughter you are I know since you were baby, this is my husband Dornan's father Daniel"
he looked scary like his son
I smiled at him
"And I am Diana Dornan's sister" she was as pretty as her mother
"nice to meet you" I replied
"where is Dominic mama?"
"he is in a meeting he will join us soon"
"Come Elza" we went inside a hall where a huge table was set for lunch and my Gramps was talking to Dornan's Father
Dornan walked near us wearing a blue blazer his hair neatly combed he was holding files in his hand
"where were you brother?" said Diana
" I was in the warehouse"
his eyes met mine he stared at me and cleared his throat
"Okay everyone lets begin" Emma said
there were varieties of dishes placed in front of us but I was so nervous I couldn't eat much after the lunch tea was served and
Emma stood up
"Elza lets go for a walk"
I nodded and waved my Gramps telling him that I am going for a walk
"Dear I know that its not easy for you I can feel and understand what you are going through but don't worry I am with you"
my heart melted when she said those words
"I wanted to clear out few things before you marry Dornan"
"Ok" I replied
"I am not Dornan's biological mother..."
I stopped and looked at her
"...Dornan's mother was not a good woman, she was not even married to Daniel and got pregnant with Dornan she gave birth to him and left, I belonged to a poor family and my dad sold me off to Daniel, but he respected and married me and loved me we had two children Dominic and Diana, Dornan is the eldest as he was 2 years old when they were born .
I loved all my children equally , but Dornan was different he was a very silent child never cried he didn't have many friends, he grew up and started 5 big companies and became a strong man like his dad. He has a big heart its just that he doesn't open up to everyone"
"Oh" I was shocked to hear all that
"Didn't you feel bad when your father sold you off to Daniel"
"yes I was only nineteen and Daniel was thirty our marriage was different in the beginning since my dad traded me to him for money but time passed and eventually we fell in love with one another, there are times when things in life change and we might feel that its not right at the moment but later we realise it was the right thing that happened"
