~I'm not a stranger to the dark~
-Keala Settle

My biological Dad?

He is dead

Atleast to me, he was dead..

He was dead to me.

And why am I in danger?

How?

I think I'm going to have a migraine.

I don't know what to do... or think

So many questions I want to ask

So many thoughts piled up in my head

So many emotions to absorb

Knowing that I was dumped at an Orphange home Dumpster and later adopted was a whole different issue.

But knowing my biological parents are alive..

And their first communication with me..

Is about my life being endangered

By who?

By what?

Wait! Let me get this straight.

This morning, Shawn said he shouldn't have called me out on that stage.

He endangered my life by calling me out on stage last night..?

How?

Fine. The internet had millions of post on the Event, especially about Shawn and I.

How did that possibly endanger my life and how does it have anything to do with my biological parents.

I need answers.

Shawn can't tell me my biological Dad gave him a call and expect me not to demand for more details.

How in the hell, did he even know I was adopted?

When did my supposed biological Dad call?

Because I was with him early this morning and I did not sense any potential problem.

Must have been when I went to Shower?

But My Biological Dad keeps ringing in my head.

What's his real name?

Who is he?

Why did he dump me and come back with my life getting endangered

Why did he not call me himself?

Does he hate me that much?

Why does the discovery of my biological Dad come as a relieve for me?

When I have hated him and whoever my Mum is my entire life

I spited them

But why do I feel happy underneath?

When their first communication with me was how am now in Danger...

Danger?

From who?

Who is after me?

And why?

It only sums up to just one place to get these answers..

My Biological family.

Who are they?

"Selena!"

Jolted back to reality by the call of my name.

Who just called my name?

Oh,right..

Shawn.

Am back at Shawn's home/mansion, I was in my designated room and was sitted on the bed, holding my Pillow while I drifted to the land of endless thoughts and questions.

"I just dropped your clothes and books at the closet,the guards already went to your hostel to get them. Betty demanded you called her. I think you should call her" Shawn said but I kept quiet.

"Selena? Did you even hear a word I said?" Shawn queried but I remained silent.

"Selena...?"Shawn called with concern etched in his tone.

"Lena, what's wrong...?" Shawn asked,taking a sit on the bed as he looked at me with concern.

He breathed and said

"I know that was a really dumb question. I really can't begin to imagine how you are feeling or where your thoughts have taken you to. That's why I didn't want to tell you anything about it in the first place. Selena..?" He called and I didn't realise I was in tears till my eyes felt blurry and the taste of salt visited my lips.

"Oh God! Baby don't cry... Come here" He cooed as he brought me to an embrace making me break down in more tears..

"Am scared,Shawn.. Am scared of not knowing... I don't know what's going on and I feel like my life is just crashing down before my own eyes and I can't do nothing about it. I want answers Shawn.. I need it" I sobbed as I swam in the warmth of his embrace.

"You would get the answers soon babe..really soon"Shawn cooed as he kissed my forehead and rested his jaw on my head.

"I just want to know what is going on. Everything was just fine yesterday and today it feels like am in an entirely new world.." I said trying to fight back the tears.

Graaaaghh! Am an emotional mess right now.

"if I tell you more, you would want more answers and I can't give them to you. I can tell you a good amount of what Your Dad said to me this morning but you have to promise me you won't drill me for more questions..

Promise you won't cry anymore and you would continue with your life while the guards keep you as safe as they can. Till your father finally decides its best to come see you and talk to you.

This means everything but shouldn't change everything. You can commence with your school duties, life goals and be that fiesty strong lady I know you as.

Seeing you this way breaks my heart and I need you to be strong.. Be strong for me Lena, because what am about to tell you,might knock you off your feet. It can change everything only if you permit it to" Shawn said.. Staring into my eyes to get maybe an assurance that I grasp what he just said.

I nod my heard and wipe my tears off with a sniff.

"Your Biological Dad is Russian, yes.. Thats a lot to grasp and its unbelievable. But trust me he is your Dad, I have confirmed that. We had a video call and well.." He paused, sighed and looked at me.

"How are you sure, he is my dad?" I queried.

"He has a picture of when you were born  ... It was a picture of Your Mum, Your Dad and tiny you in the middle. Your Mum is Nigerian and I guess that explains your choco skin colour.." He said and I cut him short with another question.

"How do you know am the baby in the picture..?"

He shifted uncomfortably as he said.

"Call me a stalker but I have full information about you with me. Ranging from pictures of when you were found behind an Orphanage home dumpster, to when you got adopted, pictures of you as a child, an early teen, a teenager and finally an adult. With other basic information of you, your school life and a few more. I could tell it was you in that picture right away. Thats how I know you were adopted, in case you were wondering.."

What..?!

Son of a bitch!

I should get mad at him now but he has got answers that I need.

I can't afford to piss him off... Yet..

"If that dosent satisfy you.. The moon necklace you have always had, Mr Viktor had it too. Including the moon Tattoo on your back.. You have had it since you were a child, right? Its your family's business marking and because the dress you wore revealed that tattoo and you also had your moon necklace on... It was what endangered you, Lena. Am sorry its my fault and calling your name out, made things easier for whoever is after you to confirm that you are indeed the lost black daughter of Russian's most Richest Weapon Lord 'Viktor Svyatoyvich'.

This is a lot to grasp I know but you are Luna Svyatoyvich.

Do you know what Selena means?"

My head is on fire! I can't handle this. This is not true!! It can not be true. Like what in the heavens?!!

Am dazed..

Although I was burning with thoughts within, I could manage to put on a cool front so I muttered.

"Yes, it means Light"

"The name, Selena was actually a means to make you more undetectable, giving you a Spanish name and a Greek Surname that sounds like the Nigerian Urhobo name.

Selena means Moon and Jerome means Sacred name.

Svyatoyvich is your Father's surname that means Sacred name.

His weaponry enterprise goes by the name 'Moon'

You are Luna Svyatoyvich, the lost black daughter of Viktor Svyatoyvich, a Russian Weapon Lord and he has enemies who by all means want you dead. Because guess what?

You are the heiress to Moon's Weaponry.

Luther was sent by your father, immediately he saw you all over the internet with your Moon Tattoo visible. He claimed to have been trying to get to me ever since..And he was glad he got to me this morning as Luther was already close to landing in Nigeria" Shawn concluded.

This is so surreal and I can't accept this.. It can't be true

I don't think I'm Russian

I do not feel Russian

So, you feel Nigerian?

Whoever this Viktor is, got it all wrong!

And slowly I began to laugh at how much of a joke this is but mixed with pain and unbelief at the possibility of it being all true.

I have a freaking Rich Father and he dumped me on a freaking dumpster!!?

And how in hell did I get to Nigeria, if I was really a Russian!

I do not believe this!

Filthy lies from the pit of hell!

Am an heiress?

To Moon freaking Enterprise?

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

My head can't take this

I feel lightheaded

and I see nothing...

Its darkness...

And I succumb to it as I feel myself fall...

You were right Shawn..

This knocked me out..

Am not strong enough

*******************
No one Saw this coming!!

Like how in the hell?

You all expected a revenge drama of filthy bad-exes.

Who in heaven ever thought that the tiny little drop of Selena being an adopted child would make up Till 21

And you are now wondering why its even titled Till 21?

Oh baby! I got it all covered.

This is more spicy than revenge stories.

I wanted to write something close to a Mafia tale but Nigerian and with a glow of the foreign dose.

How do I explain this?

Trust me, it still remains a Romance book genre but more drama!

Please tell me what you think..

I know there are questions in your head right now.. Feel free to ask but you would learn more as the book progresses.

The revenge side of the story is still there but its not the main storyline.

I told you the ride of Till 21 would be bumpy didn't I?

Who is excited?

Cos I am..

I can't wait to write something way out of my norms. I hope you like it.

Pls, This is a fictionary book. Imaginations... And its meant to entertain and give you an escape from reality.

You might feel things like this can't happen in real life. Fine! Keep it to yourself.
Its Fiction.

Am writing it with an intent to get you hooked and entertained.

Please Vote and share your thoughts.

Please tag a friend?
