Chapter 4 - having a father

"Ahh Sasha be gentle! I don't want my nose to look like a potato. " I said while Sasha was trying to reduce the pain of my nose by some kind of remedy of hers.

"My lady you should be careful, what if the injury was grave!" Sasha said and I grabbed her hand making her stop and looked into the mirror to check if my nose was alright which it looked like it was and then I left out a sigh of relief.

" It's okay sasha, the minor things keep on happening in life. We should keep on enjoying ourselves " I said and she nodded, ever since I beat those maids in front of her she has gotten a little confident, otherwise she was a little sceardy cat.

"Btw do you know who that guy must be?" I asked her and she looked at me puzzled, oh I didn't tell her yet how I almost broke my nose.

After I told her everything that happened she then looked like she was solving puzzles. "My lady according to your description it may have been young master " Sasha said and I nodded in understanding.

It made sense, in this house it was only him who could be that young and handsome, nothing personal but we should admit if there is some beauty.

"My lady should we start getting you ready for the dinner, the Lord has strictly orders everyone to be present at the family dinner tonight. " Sasha said reminding me about the dinner we have tonight.

Even though I would rather be in my room with my story books than anywhere near my step relatives, I have to attend this dinner because let's be real being able to afford a living is tricky and the man who is giving me all the things I could dream of even after my stepmom's utmost efforts to keep my expenses the least in the house, I have to show some respect to him.

So for my father I will attend this dinner and maybe because of this dinner I can maybe see what having a father looks like.

I have never missed having a father or felt the need to have one because I never knew what having a father in your life means but now that I have a chance I think I will give it a chance may be I would get to know what my friends in the orphanage used to talk about.

Anyway I don't like talking about mellow drama, I would instead break a bone, not mine though.

After taking a shower and wearing the clothes that sasha had prepared for me I am seated while Sasha is making sure my hair and makeup looks presentable.

After some time I looked at myself in the mirror, I never knew I could be this beautiful. Sasha has done a great job I look like a Royal lady with this dress and makeup.

"Thank you Sasha, you are full of great skills! " I thanked her sincerely and she gave me a smile so wide that made me think a simple thankyou can mean so much to us, we should always say thank you to one another.

"So shall we go to eat rather endure the dinner? " I asked sasha and we then left towards our destination together.

When I enterd the dinner Hall there were only Elena and Edward seated in their respective seats and my arrival made Elena's face visibly pale making me smirk at her.

I then turned towards Edward only to find him staring back at me as if trying to find something on my face, I ignored his intrigue and went towards the seat near my fathers seat.

"Isla shouldn't you be seated on the third chair why are you going towards the chair next to father? " Elena asked when I was about to sit on the chair I chose.

"Why, what is wrong with me sitting near my own father? You are seated next to your mothers seat, you didnt hear me complain. " I said and sat on the seat which I chose taking my gaze away from Elena.

My gaze swept across Edward's face and may be I saw a ghost of smile on his face or it was just my imagination, whatever.

We waited for a while and then I saw my father enter the Hall with my stepmother just behind him, I was looking at him with emotions I never knew I had .

My father is handsome, broad shoulders,sharp jaw,beautiful brown eyes like mine but they were filled with a chill,his face stoic as if he had no place for emotions in his life and then his gaze fell on me and I could see his gaze soften and a speck of concerns on his face.

All this just for a Nick of a second and then it vanished from his face as if it were never there.
