We have a surprise POV in this book and i present to you, the queen of her own queendom.

°KATERINA°

"Chidinma" her stepmother screamed from the kitchen and Kate decided to pretend as if she's sleeping. She put her phone under her pillow and she closed her eyes.

She could hear the heavy footsteps of her stepmom coming to her room and it only means one thing, Trouble.

"Chidinma, you're sleeping here while your father is waiting downstairs abi. It's kuku only sleep that you know how to sleep, if it's to work now you will disappear and if it's to give other people's children your blood to drink now, we will see you there. I've always said that you're a witch now. Mad human being. If I get downstairs before you, you will not like yourself at all"

Her stepmom turned back and Kate jumped up. Her words had little effects on her because she knows how evil her stepmom can be.
Today's own is even small and she didn't even drag her dead mother into the conversation.

She wore her flip flops and she took the staircase two at a time. True to her stepmom's words, her father was standing at the end of the rails dresses up. She smiled at him and she watched his face lit up in excitement as he saw her.

She rushed to his arms and she threw her hands around him. He rubbed her hair slowly and she pulled him closer. He's the only one that understands her better among everyone.

He might be a dictator and a control freak just like her but at least he makes her happy. He usually gets her everything she wanted and he never hesitates to spoil her silly much to the annoyance of her step mom.

"I was thinking we should have a father and daughter day today and we will go out to swim then we visit Princess then we watch a movie and come back home when it's 10pm. How does that sound?" Her father asked with a smile and she jumped for joy.

"Wait let me change my clothes, just give me five minutes and I will come down now now" She rushed upstairs excitedly and she changed into a white top paired with blue jeans and a white adidas sneakers.

When she got back downstairs, her stepmom snorted and she ignored her. She walked towards her father who was typing on his phone and she waved her hands in front of his face.

"That was fast oh Katerina, you usually take at least one hour to find clothes first and this jean is very fine oh. You even did make up too. God must be wonderful because you didn't use up to one hour shaa" Her dad said and she laughed.

They walked outside together and her dad collected the keys from the driver telling him not to worry. She entered the black Bentley and her dad got into the driver seat and they drove off.

"Kate, do you have friends in school now?"

She shook her head slowly and her dad took a deep breath.

"Any new student that you can befriend or something? I thought the PTA contributions for the scholarship student already took place, has the person not resumed yet?"

"She has but she probably doesn't like me. I already treated her like shit. I watched other people pick on her too"

"Katerina, i know you're a nice person deep down and everything that happened with you and Kimberly is a mistake. Nobody's above mistakes. Have you tried apologizing to her after you came back from the suspension?" Her dad asked again and she shook her head.

"Katerina, you need to apologise even if you two aren't going to be friends anymore. At least apologize for those times you craved to control her and make her your personal house help. No human will go through that and still like you especially if you're feeling right. Do you understand?" Her dad asked and she nodded.

"How's that boy that two of you use to talk Femi abi what's that his name. That senator Martins son?" Her dad asked again and she spread out her hand.

"We stopped talking after the incident now and he hasn't reach out to me again"
She replied and he nodded.

"Athena Makeup Artistry reached out to me for a makeup deal for you and I agreed. Hope you don't mind?" Her father asked and she screamed in excitement.

Athena Makeup Artistry is a pretty big makeup production company and they have branches in Nigeria and US. It's going to be a huge boost on her influencing career. Since she stopped her stepbrother from being her manager after she lost a lot of potential clients, she hasn't got major deals.

Her dad's car pulled up in Richardson Hospital, Ikeja and they got down. Katerina took a deep breath and she followed her dad's lead to her sister's room.

Princess didn't deserve to be the one in that awful room and being between life and death. She wanted nothing but to ease her baby sister of the pains. Two years and she still hasn't opened her eyes and no one knows if she will ever open her eyes again.

The accident that claimed her mom's life and also took away her sister. No one believed she will survive that injury with just a broken arm. That night was a night that they wouldn't forget in a hurry.

That night, they were coming back from a girl's day out at Ikeja City Mall and a trailer lost control of the steering. Everything happened so fast and one minute her mom was screaming blood of Jesus, the next she was laying dead with her head banged over the dashboard. Her little sister too laid unconscious while she fainted.
Their father was away on a business trip to China and nobody was at home.

The general hospital they were rushed to refused to treat them unless a deposit is made and the trailer driver ran away. When the nurses finally recognized them and start treatment, it was too late for her mom and her sister had slipped into coma.

Katerina stepped out of the cinema with her dad and they were laughing hard. They just finished watching Fate of Alakada.

"Katerina, do you want ice cream or cotton candy?" Her dad asked as they got to the refreshment stand and she pointed at the large strawberry cotton candy.

She turned back to go and she bumped into someone, Kim Kiki and Stephanie. She said a Hi and she pulled her dad away but the man had other plans. He pulled her back and he called Kim Kiki.

"Kimberly, how are you? I've not seen you since oh"

"Good evening sir" Kim Kiki curtsied and Stephanie followed suit. Katerina kept on tugging at her dad's arm but he didn't budge.

"Are you girls going home let me drop you off?" He asked much to the annoyance of Katerina.

"No sir, we still want to watch another movie" Stephanie answered and he nodded his head.

"I would've liked to watch with you guys but I'm sleepy. Or Katerina, will you join them and Kolade will come and pick you up after you're done?"

"No dad, i have some stuffs to do at home, we can watch a movie sometimes together but not today" She whined and her dad nodded.

"Bye girls" he waved at them and they waved back before Kim Kiki pulled Stephanie towards the cinema.

"Dad why did you do that now? They will think I'm so eager to be their friend considering that we had a fallout yesterday" she groaned and he laughed.

"Kids and keeping grudges. Let's go shaa"
