Cruel Destiny

Third Person POV

It was a sunny day in London and the birds were chirping in the garden where a family was sitting.

A six-year-old boy was lying on the grass and moving his hands on it.

A beautiful smile was adoring his face and he giggled when the grass tickled his feet.

"Scott, I thought we were gonna play." His friend, Miranda, came and questioned him.

Miranda was the daughter of a maid in their house but they never let her feel like that or mentioned it to her.

She has been Scott's companion since childhood. Their bond was something that can't be broken.

They both were months apart. His mother took care of her too as her mother died 1 year ago, leaving her alone.

They didn't know about her father as her mother had never mentioned him.

After the death of her mother, Miranda was staying with their family.

Scott just giggled and said "Silly, we are playing. The grass is now my friend and he was tickling me."

Miranda's tears started to fell on her chubby cheeks and she said "You are not gonna be my friend anymore"

Her friend has another friend. He would forget about her just like her mother.

Scott looked at her and a frown appeared on his cute face. He wondered what happened to her all of a sudden.

He stood up and said goodbye to his new friend grass and ran toward her.

He stood in front of her and wiped her tears and asked "Why are you crying, Mi,"

She cried hard, making him panic. Then between hiccups, she said "You got a new friend. You are leaving me alone."

He laughed loudly and put his hand on her forehead and pushed it a little and said "You are silly Mi,"

He then kissed her cheek, making her smile, and said "you are my first friend."

She giggled then Scott continued "Let's meet my new friend. He will be your friend too."

They both went and laid down on the grass and moved their hands and laughed when it tickled them.

As time was passing their bonding was flourishing. They had passed the stage of being friends and now they loved each other.

Years had passed and now it was time to live their dream. They both had turned 20 and they had decided on a college for the bachelor's degree.

Miranda had her associate degree but now it was time for the bachelor's.

Meanwhile, Scott had already started his four years for a bachelor's degree in business.

Scott always wanted to be a doctor but he had his wish deep-buried because he knew that his father wanted him to take over his business.

He would never do something which could make his father disappointed. He knew that his father would never say about it.

He respected and loved his father a lot. Men like his father were very rare and he hoped he could be like him too.

He was home as it was his vacation. He greeted his mother and father but his eyes were searching for someone.

Miranda was standing on the stairs waiting for his eyes to devour her.

She was the perfection of beauty. She has the perfect curves and no one can stand up to her level.



When their eyes met, they froze. She had seen him after two years and he sure was a sight for the sore eyes.

She couldn't control the beautiful smile which curled on her lips making her more enthralling.

When he winked at her, she smiled and winked back at him making him chuckle.

"Aren't you gonna greet me, Mi," he asked her, making everyone aware of her presence.

He had seen her after a lot of time. Two years to be more precise as he had moved out when he got 18.

Now he couldn't stay away from her. He will tell her about his feelings later tonight and will propose to her.

He didn't want to lose her as she was his first love. He knew that if he got late, someone else would take her.

She came downstairs and hugged him tightly and whispered "I missed you so much, Scott."

He kissed her cheek and replied "I missed you a lot, Mi,"

They stayed in their world for a while until his mother announced, breaking their spell.

"It's time for dinner."

They pulled away and Miranda went inside with Sophie Allen (Scott's mother) to help her.

Scott was looking at her retreating figure with a longing look on his face until his father called his name.

Steve Allen (Scott's father) was just waiting for the day when he would hand over his company and responsibility to his only child.

He had made sure to raise him in the right way. Even though he had spoiled him rotten, he never made him a spoilt brat.

He may not be his biological child but he never let him feel like that. He was, for him and the world, his real child.

FLASHBACK

Sophie Allen had been married before Steve came into her life. Her first husband was abusive and alcoholic.

She had been forced into this. She had her dreams which were brutally shattered when her parents married her off to that abusive man.

She didn't accept him and kept her distance until he forced himself on her and impregnated her with Scott.

After that, the abuse came which never stopped not even in her pregnancy.

She had called the cops one time but he beat the shit out of her and induced her to answer the cops that it was a misunderstanding.

He threatened her with her newborn child and she, being a good mother, lied to the authorities.

Everyone was just like before but then a dreadful day came. Her husband came home drunk on his child's birthday.

Scott was crying as he had a fever and that was disturbing his father.

In his anger, he picked up a pickaxe and went with swaying legs to the room where his wife was consoling his child.

"I will stop your crying now." He said, standing at the entrance of the room.

Sophie saw him and screamed hard. She picked up her crying child and ran toward the bathroom.

She hurriedly closed the door and locked it. She flinched when she heard the banging on the door.

Little Scott was still crying in her arms and she too cried with him. She patted his back and tried to console him but he wasn't stopping.

She watched in horror when her husband started to attack the door with the pickaxe.

It was now or never. Watch her son die or run from there. That was the last thought she had in her mind before she moved according to her plan.

She opened the window of the bathroom and looked back and saw that he had broken down half of the door.

He peeked at her with angry eyes and seethed "I will kill you bitch along with that little bastard."
