Chapter 40: Chapter 40

KAYA'S POV.

I watched the houses move past us as my aunt turned the car to the next street.

My fingers played with my curly soft hair, my mind rushing back to my dream.

I must be going crazy...

Are these dreams? They have to be. There is no other explanation for them...

"What are you thinking about?" Ally asked from beside me

"Honey if you don't want to go just say it and I'll turn this car right around. Lord knows we are walking into the lion’s den" Aunt Lily replied.

I shook my head sitting straight, “I’m alright, I just want to get this over with,”

Aunt Lily shook her head as she parked before a large gate.

She beeped three times before she was let in, "see what your father got up in here?" She asked as we pulling up to the villa, " all this he got from Genevieve hard work, sweat and tears, she should be here not the hoe of a lady he married, " she replied harshly as she parked.

I nodded getting out of the car, "are you coming?" I asked Aunt Lily.

"Child do you want me to kill somebody?" She asked, "Because that's what I'm going to do when I meet the Stefanie hoe"

Ally giggled, " and your father may just be castrated so let me be. Go do what you got to do, call if any problems and if not I’ll be here at 3 pm sharp you do not have to spend more than two hours in this shanked up place, "

I nodded kissing her cheek,

"Remember to call!" She called as she reversed.

Dad came out just as she sped out, "hey princess, Ally," he greeted hugging as both before glancing at my retreating aunt. He sighed as he watched her speed of.

"She had things she had to do, she would come if she could," I eased noticing his demeanor.

He smiled sadly, " I know your Aunt Lily, if she wanted to see me she would, if she didn't it's probably for the best, I do like my reproductive system"

Both ally and I giggled as he led us in.

Daddy's new place was not less than fabulous but strangely I was disappointed.

Dad had never been the one for lavish things, he always used to say he would rather live in a home and not just a house.

This looked like a house.

No warm colors, everything was either white or grey.

No family photos except the one large picture of Stephanie that hang opposite the entrance.

Everything was spotless and clean. To clean in my opinion.

"Where's Stephanie?" I asked

"Uhmm-"

"I heard my name" a smoother voice said. And the devil herself appeared, she was a dress that spoke a thousand dollars or more.

It was no lie Stephanie was a beautiful woman, very pretty, Khloe had to get her banging figure and dashing looks from somewhere.

But something about that beauty spoke fake to me, downright fame like there was just tons and tons of plastic beneath all that gold.

Her expressions barely changed at all.

"Agh Kaya!” she began walking towards us she made her way to me specifically giving me a half hug.

My dad’s face lit up at this little action.

Every time he saw us "bond" he beamed. But I knew better. Stephanie had told me of her disdain for me. She had said one evening when I approached her for ruining my family was, "why can't you disappear like your mother did? I would have done it myself if your existence didn't fuel your fathers"

Whatever that meant but it was enough for me to know she hated my guts. Once she tried to poison me, I was sick and she made what she called "mother dearest” a sort of thick greenish healing soup or whatever.

I almost died. Cross my heart. I blacked out for hours. My Dad cried thinking all hope was gone. Doctors said I had a miniature heart attack but whoever heard of a 17 year old having a heart attack?

I knew it was the devils soup I had drank. Never really felt like myself ever since. Always felt heavier if that is possible.

I watched as she snaked her arm around my father’s arm leading him away from us, " Oh. Uh-dinners this way,” she called out half-heartedly.

"So that's new Mrs.-” Ally began

I nodded.

"She looks...”

"Fake?"

"Unnatural" she whispered. She had a lost look in her eyes.

"Ally are you okay?"

She blinked twice, "uh. Yeah. Yeah. Let’s go,”

I followed the light chuckles of my Dad and Stephanie's voices. I was shocked to what met my eyes.

A spread fit for a king. No hate at all everything looked so delicious. I half expected this dinner to suck I mean Stephanie cook? Hell Nah...

"Like what you see?" Stephanie smirked.

Dad grinned sitting down, "I'm on make yourselves comfortable"

We sat down beside each other and my eyes traveled to the food before us, “wow, I must say, .it does look delicious."

Dad smiled, "Stephanie took all day preparing this."

I looked at Stephanie and nodded.

"Uhmm…Khloe?" I asked not really caring of she would show…one devil was enough for me

"Oh. Khloe. She will be right here. She’s bringing someone too,”

I felt my brain freeze as ally squeezed my hand.

"There here" Dad said

Now who the hell would Khloe be bringing to Sunday dinner with the family?
