Chapter 4 Disowned

Zara forcefully drags her eyes to the table clock, knitting her brows to see the time -

" Already 9?"

She remembers she entered the house before seven. How could she spend such a time within a blink?

The corner of her face turns red. Obviously, she couldn't lie to herself. Even in the bathroom, she was thinking about the Man instead of her soon-to-be husband and she has no guilt.

Fighting against her own will and bed, she sits up and yawns softly.

Marrying a stranger? She would do as she promised. Because she never breaks promises even if it was a stupid ultimatum on her birthday- Win the competition or Marry the Man we found for you.

But she won't let her family or her dearest best friend have their own way to celebrate this victory.

She got the worst betrayal of the history. From her family and her best friend and her lover.

There was no way she would let things go easily.

Dressed in a beautiful knee-length dress, combing her hair in a beautiful style and putting a light makeup on, She grabs her favorite perfume and sprays all over her. The scent is faint. So the excessive scents will fade within ten seconds.

Within five minutes, She stands up in front of the staircase. From the angle, she can see how much her father and Brother are clicking the glass of wine this morning and enjoying the happiness of betraying their own blood.

She holds her head high. With slow and graceful steps, she climbs down the stairs and walks in the dining room.

Her mother was already instructing what should be served as last meal of the daughter of Kingston family. Since she would become a wife to another family.

When her subtle sound of heels reaches her parents, three of them look at her.

Mrs Kingston stands up immediately. Scanning her only daughter who is wearing a dress instead of baggy clothes, she gives away a prideful smile.

" My Gosh! My princess is ready to become a good wife. I told you, Honey. She would make us proud!"

Mrs Kingston smirks at her husband and drags a chair next to her.

" Sit down. Mama cooked everything for you today. Your favorite. I don't know how you will stay alone without us. Mom is so worried already!"

Mrs Kingston sniffles softly. If it was another time, she would have feel sad. But today, she feels utterly disgusted. They're not hiding anything anymore.

" Come on, Mom. She is not going to a beggar's house. The richest Man in the country is not a joke!" Zayny finally interjected.

" How would you know the pain of saying goodbye to your children? Have a child first. Later you will know"

" Haha! That's true." Mr Kingston chugs down the wine and looks at her.

" Don't disappoint us. Our family's reputation is on you. Zara!"

In this whole ordeal, Zara remains silent. As if those people around her didn't exist.

Zayn noticed her silence and snorted.

" You should be proud that you are born in this family and we are doing something good for you. So instead of raising a ghost in your mind to be a sweet maker, make sure you serve your husband well. So that you can pay for everything that we have done for you! Also if you are thinking of marrying Shawn. You should stop now. He is too stupid to be the son-in-law of Kingston! So stop being a waste and give up on that candy making childish job!"

At the exact moment, Zara's beautifully brown shaded eyelids are raised. Her attention goes to her brother who just made a snarky remark. Her father joins in this laughter as well. So they know that she knows everything.

Well, it would be hard for them since Mira can ask Zayn to check the CCTV footage. Zayn will tell their parents about it.

Instead of being worried about it, they seemed to be happy with her awareness. She clenches her jaw. The Anger has reached its limit points.

" Shut up! Zayn. Don't create a -!"

The chair she is sitting on, falls on the floor. Everyone's attention goes to Zara who stood up, holding the glass of wine.

" What are you doing? Sit down!" Zayn yells at her with scowled eyes. As if he owns her and she is bound to listen to him.

She just walks towards him. Her eyes are empty and distant.

Before they can understand her next step, Zara grabs the Sunnyside egg from his place and smashes it all over his face.

Everyone in the room including the servants is startled by her sudden action. There is no way the Young Miss of Kingston who is non confrontational would do such a bold thing.

" AHHH! What the he- Mmgh!"

She shoves the drumsticks in his mouth and smashes his head against the table before he could make another sound.

" ZARA KINGSTON!!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Mr Kingston growls at her and stands up.

She pauses and looks at her father with that same coldness in her eyes.

" Princess! Stop. Don't do anything more! Mom will compensate for everything. So please -!"

Her words remains inside her mouth when Zara grabs the tablecloth and shoves everything away.

" ZARA!! HOW DARE -!"

" AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!"

She screams at her father's face, with tears in her eyes. But her gaze is unfazed, cold and sharp. Her lips quiver but her flared up nose is red with pure fury and hatred.

" You disappointed me. Mr Kingston!" she spats with tears streaming down her cheeks.

" The ideal father image I had for you, you destroyed it. Maybe you would get two billion dollars investment in your company. But today, I am announcing that - I, ZARA KINGSTON IS NO LONGER A PART OF THIS FAMILY. I DISOWN YOU AS MY FATHER, AS MY FAMILY AND AS SOMEONE WHO I WOULD SEARCH WHEN I WAS IN PAIN!"

She announces without even taking a breath between.
