The Daughter Novel 소설 & 이야기

Come back! "I was wrong! I'll give everything back to you! I'll trade my life!" "Forum, can you hear me? I'll trade! Bring my sister back!" But the countdown had already begun. No matter how much they regretted it, it was too late. I felt a wave of lightness. A soft white glow wrapped around me. Maybe this was fine, too. Goodbye. In the next life, let's not meet again. Being Dad's daughter hurt too much.

I couldn’t speak until I was eight years old. Everyone in the Sterling family called me dumb. Even my mother would secretly wipe away tears, convinced she had given birth to an autistic daughter. Whenever my father looked at me, his eyes were filled with nothing but disappointment. However, for the sake of the family’s reputation, he could never bring himself to send me away to a special education school. Then came the day someone from a prominent hedge fund company arrived to acquire our family company, Sterling Group. He was so arrogant that he chewed out everyone in the boardroom until all of them hung their heads low. The room full of corporate executives fell silent, too terrified to

She moves further into the room, snatching the flowers from me, "Why do I have a feeling my daughter is the flower thief?" "Romeo is finally coming back from his stupid business trip tomorrow." I defend, following behind her when she begins to move to the dresser, "I needed to make something special to welcome him. You don't expect me to go all the way to that expensive florist when I have a beautiful garden just behind my window, right?" The corner of her lips twitches into a lazy smile as she opens up one of the miscellaneous perfume bottles on the table, spraying one of them into the flower bunch.

he begins to pour us both a drink "Alpha Carn has sent a group to infiltrate the pack, to leak what ever information they can gather on.." he pauses taking a shaking breath "..on my daughter." The room fills with hushed chatter as the Elders begin to grow tense. "Alpha.. Your child... is dead. I'm sorry, please forgi.." Elder Carson begins before Alpha Nico cuts him off "No!" He snaps "My daughter, is alive. And she lives here within the pack. She always has." He states as if a huge weight had finally been lifted

He wasn’t and will never be the father of my child. He can dream but the reality will slap him hard. I will not let him do this to me. I cannot let him ruin everything for me. Before, I know that being the president’s daughter comes with many disadvantages. I just didn’t realize that being dragged into his evil scheme is one of the things that I should deal with in my life. Truth to be told, I was the one who dragged Ares into this fire. I was playing fire with him and I thought we both burned by it. I was enjoying burning without realizing that he is trying to pull me closer into the fire because he, himself is the son of the fire.

***** {{ Prologue }} Have you ever been haunted by someone? And I don't mean "haunted by the dead". What happened to me had nothing to do with ghosts or poltergeists. No, it was much worse. You see, I was haunted by a living person. She goes by many names. Olivia. Olive. Liv. Livvy. She was nineteen when the true torment began. The way she plagued me will become clear as you read the following passages. The girl I'm talking about is none other than my very own daughter.

Lucian's eyes moved toward the daughter. She stood silently at the far end of the chamber. Watching. Waiting. Lucian whispered: "Not darkness." The daughter smiled. "Finally." Evelyn turned toward her. "Then what?" The daughter looked at Eli. "The beginning." Evelyn stepped in front of him. "You don't get to speak about him." The daughter tilted her head. "He isn't yours." Evelyn's face hardened. "He's my son." "No." The daughter pointed at Eli. "He belongs to the first world."

The crowd of villagers parted and the man who was an Alpha glared at me, his lip curling up in hostility. “And who the fuck are you to tell an Alpha what to do, little wolf?” he growled. “I’m the Delta’s Daughter and I’m telling you now, unhand these villagers or this man will unleash my beast,” I said, pointing at Rhett who was gathering himself off the ground. That was always my answer when I was asked who I was. Not Alpha, not Queen, but the Delta’s Daughter. That was the name I had become known as throughout the werewolf kingdom and beyond: The Delta’s Daughter, a title that was fast becoming a legend.

“Who’s life did she save?” My father hesitated, then said the name like it burned to speak it. “A judge’s daughter.” Lucian inhaled sharply. My father continued, voice trembling. “The man who threatened Sophie… is the same man who attacked the judge’s daughter. Sophie stumbled onto it by accident. Her scream made him run. But he saw her face.” My entire world went white. “I don’t… remember…” My words came out broken. “You blocked it out,” my father whispered. “You were nine. Traumatized. Your mind shut it away.”

Her left hand slowly caressed her belly. For a moment, I thought I had forgotten how to breathe. Another baby. Another replacement. Any smugness I may have felt only moments earlier was quickly replaced with a trio of turbulent feelings. Anger. Betrayal. Grief. “Ah, perhaps the goddess will bless you with your first daughter.” Remarked the Crown Princess. “I always wanted a daughter, your highness.” My mother remarked.
