My Unique Goddess: AZALEA

A morning call awaken her. Without looking at the caller ID she answer the phone.

"Come home now!" the voice on the other line is very commanding.

Azalea took the phone off her ear and looked at it. "Well good morning to you too, little bro." then she tossed the phone on the other side of the bed yawning.

She tried to sleep again but the serious voice of her brother is echoing in her ears. She kicked and rolled like a crazy person in her bed then put a pillow on her face and scream. The day is just starting but she's already in a bad mood.

'Damn!... judgement day at the Son family, haisstttt." she thought as she picked up herself from her bed heavily.

At the Son Mansion.

Suddenly the door swung opened and Azalea's head pop in. She is slightly peeking.

"Come inside." Charles ordered her.

Slowly she walks in and sit in an empty space of the leather couch. Their study room is spacious with two study tables and a set of sofas plus shelves of different books. She loves this room this is her hiding place everytime the two yapping bulldogs are in her tail she would come here and hide. The two women of Son's never comes here they're allergic to books.

"Speak." Carlton is in his below zero icy gaze. He's really mad this time.

She never sees her brother in a very serious and threatening way specially towards her. He always wear a smile or a devilish grin when facing her but today he is seriously serious.

Azalea knew what's happening, the old Shin probably told them about the rush marriage and she forgot to ask him to keep it a secret for a while.

She told her father and brother everything specially the contract that her grandfather and the old Shin made back in the day and the consequences that will going to happen if she breach it.

"Is there any other way than marriage?" Carlton seems to be helpless about the situation.

"No other way... I read the contract and all the legalities are in there if we contest it the possibility of our chance to win is only fifteen percent." Because of her photographic memory she scanned all the possible way to contest a contract from the law books that she read before.

Mr. Son sigh. Until now he still feels useless in front of her daughter. Her mother left her to him to be taken care of but she never ask him for anything she do things on her own. For thirteen years he waited silently for her to ask for his help but until now she never did.

"The old Shin is asking to send you over to your new husband's home." Charles tone is in dismay.

"You should have think about it first, big sis." Carlton is very concerned about her sister, she jumps in a situation with her eyes closed. She didn't even have a boyfriend before how will she going to deal with a husband.

"I'll cross the bridge when I get there. Dont worry to much I can take care of myself." and she gave him a smile with assurance.

"I really don't know what to say, it's just that I don't trust him, just be careful of yourself."

"I will!"... She put her thumbs up."Oh, and one more thing, would you mind keeping this a secret."

The two men were confused.

"For starters, I don't want to be stoned to death by his adoring fans and secondly it is not really a marriage for love we are just playing the victims role." and she smiled widely with no concern like this is just a form of dust that you can cast in the wind and disappear.

The two Son men didn't argue with her anymore there's no reason to cry over spilled milk now. They just have to watch and help her in anyway she needs it.

"But still you need to live with him." There's a hint of sadness in his tone. His dear child she always think about others before herself.

"Don't worry dad, I'll be fine." and she stand and walk out of the room.

Charles was astounded he heard her call him DAD. He was frozen still from his seat. 'Did she already recognize me as her father?'. His thoughts is wavering but still it felt good inside his heart and a smile broke down on his lips.

Carlton was also shock when her sister calls their father Dad. 'But it would be more cute if she used the whole word DADDY, she will look adorable'. A cheeky thought appeared on his mind . His lips curved upward for the thought. But he is more happy that she is finally acknowledging him as her father, he knows that his father is waiting for this a long time ago.

Azalea is walking very fast away from the study room. Her heart is pounding so hard she can't believe she called him DAD. She never called him anything since she came in this house and never ask him for anything too. Before he just looked like a stranger in her eyes she stand there and look at him and he too, did the same. As time goes by they live that way waiting for each other to say something. 'Maybe getting married is not really that bad after all, I talked to my dad and it feels good inside.' she said to herself and then smile.
