The Orphan's Goddess

-Conner's POV- "RUN! CONNER RUN!" the voice in my head made me shut my eyes tight. "MOTHER! NO! I CAN'T!" the once ten-year-old Conner was torn between stepping towards the door to obey his mother's command or towards his mother lying on the floor crying, nose bleeding, body bruised from head to toe from the beatings of his father, Raul Lowell. He wanted to cover his tiny body over his mothers to protect her from getting another BIG BLOW his father might give her. However, what could he possibly do? His strength is no match from that of his father’s. Think Conner! Think! He was trying to figure out a way to grab his mother and escape from this misery. He was so confused that he ended up standing there helpless and unable to move. His tears were f

-Lucy's POV- I caught the air of my lungs. Are my eyes deceiving me?  I covered my mouth in disbelief. Oh my God! Scars. Too many of them. Who the hell are you? I could feel my whole body trembling. I couldn't control it. I have never felt so weak my entire life. He shouted at me "Common Miss! Come and join me! Don't miss the fun! It's almost dark!" With all the scars on his back, how could this man still put on a smile? I felt numb all over. If the situation my family broke my heart, this man made me feel more than that. Tears were filling up the sides of my eyes once again and without knowing it I was already crying. I'm such a cry baby! Then, I felt a brush on my cheeks and when I looked up, it was Mr. Wise Man. "Don't feel sorry." he whispered. "I don't want to see any lady crying. It reminds me of my mother. It reminds me of how she cried when I was younger. I don't want to cause you any pain. I just want&nbs

-Conner’s POV- “Say what?” I was in shock. I have an uncle? “You heard me right young man. I am your uncle. Do you mind if we come in? It’s drizzling.” I blinked my eyes a couple of times trying to figure out what’s going on just then I realized that the man was right it was drizzling outside. “I-I’m sorry for my manners. Please do come in. I am sorry about my place I didn’t expect any visitors especially not at this kind of hour.” I quickly picked the trash on the table and some clothes on the floor. “My place is not big at all, but it’s my home. Please, take a seat. I only have one couch though.” I scratched the back of my head feeling awkward. Mr. Jack gave a soft laugh “Don’t you worry too much, son. I am just so happy that I finally found you.” I stiffened. I really didn’t know how to react. This man came out of the blue and is now claiming that he is my uncle. I mean, not just some uncle, he is a brother to my father. “I am sorry. I truly am in a shock right now. I mea

Nick’s POV- A month ago.. I was about to do some stretching when I noticed this young lady walk past my house. A new lady in town? She was walking and looking around like she was trying to find something until she started approaching people like she was asking something from them. I stopped what I was doing and ended up observing her. She got me curious of what she was trying to do. She was walking with no direction and stretching her neck while her eyes were searching. That confirmed my initial reaction that she was truly looking for something or maybe it could be someone until she stopped her tracks and began to slowly sit on the white sand. I guess she got tired from all the walking she did since early morning. I saw her pulling her hair up into a bun and wiped the sweat that was dropping from her forehead down to her neck. I swallowed concurrently as her hands went down her neck to wipe her sweat from there. What was that for, Nick? You are acting li

-Lucy’s POV- When mom and dad divorced, my mom got really depressed and lost her interest in managing our family business ‘The Delight Café’ and so I decided to take over especially that we don’t have any other source of income. I hate to say that my mom became engrossed with my dad’s decision to leave and so she started to drink alcohol, date different men, she literally became irresponsible and forgot how to become a mother. I had to work my ass off because I still have two siblings to take care of. A miracle happened the night I met Mr. Wise Man and finally, my mom is back on her track. Now, we have 7 cafes around Brisbane. We do catering services, hold events, and pastries as well. It has been a year now and I have been on my toes, making myself in a busy frenzy just to forget the person whom I have been longing for, Mr. Wise Man. Even if I got hurt because of what he did to me, I still wish to say thank you to him for if it wasn't for him, for the realization that he ga
