Chapter 4 Self Actualization

Emily Continues

The way to our island was one way so it was obvious when one drives on that road, where he was going. Hence the protection or so that's what I thought, we got into the island and I was driven to my mansion in which I stayed with my father and a few servants. The servants had their family too staying on the island, the island had everything needed for self actualization starting from basic needs to secondary and tertiary. Well not tertiary institutions, if you wanted to attend the university, you wouldn't be allowed back on the land. It will be your last time seeing or staying on it, yes it was mysterious island.

With the exception of his lovely daughter. I got inside the mansion and lo and behold there he stood with a smile on his face as usual. He opened his arms towards me asking for a hug, I smiled back at him and ran to him then hugged him. He swept me off my feet and swung me in the air as I laughed, he kept me down after a few swirls. He then peck me on my forehead and caressed my cheek carefully before asking,

"How are you doing? "

"I'm doing good dad how was your flight back home?" I asked.

"As usual, it was boring without you by my side. " he answered.

"You could have gone with my mother if you had married again you know?" I jested.

"Yes I could but you know you are my wife so I can't do that. Do you want me to cheat on you?" he joked.

"Yes, do stop joking dad I'm so serious about this matter. I want a step mother daddy. " I insisted.

"I know you do but there's no one like your mother. If I wanted a woman, I wanted her as perfect as your mom but there's none that can compare to her except you. So how about we make our marriage legal?" he narrated.

"Dad!!!! " I shouted at him fuming in anger and made my way upstairs.

"Hey don't forget to come down for dinner, I will be waiting for you. "

"Don't wait for me, I won't eat with you order some pizza for me. " I said angrily.

I got to my room and laid down on my queen sized bed, I took the bed side telephone and called mercy my personal maid and she was also my Nanny. She was the only one I felt comfortable with and I could say all that I wanted to her. She came in shortly and I started a conversation with her,

"How was your day?"

"It wasn't as good since you weren't at home. " she replied.

"Well as for me, I had mine great, I met someone today and God what should I say, I've never felt this way before about someone. He was filled with grace and dignity, I called him the knight in shining armor. " I said daydreaming.

"It seems you like this person from the way you are speaking about him and your facial expressions. " she admitted.

"Come on is it that obvious? But I'm surprised and confused about something. " I said flushing.

"What's it, that's confusing you?" she asked curiously.

"He mentioned that he knew me before today and he called me by name without I telling him but he called it without my father's first name. " I narrated confusedly.

Is that so? then I think....
