Chapter 53: Missing Oliver

Victoria's POV

My parents took me to the best restaurant in the city. It was situated on top of a hill where we could see the city lights below and how I wished Oliver was with us, and this was the first time I realized how much I missed him. Still, I couldn't deny I am angry with Oliver because he told me he would do everything he could to have me as his girlfriend, and he accepted the challenge when I told him I would never make it easy for him to win my heart, but he didn't even text or call me.

"Are you okay, sweetheart?" My mom asked me when she found me playing with my spoon, and I suddenly felt embarrassed that I didn't behave like a proper lady. I know that I am expected to act appropriately in accordance with our society's code of conduct, and sometimes I hated that I belonged to the Winner family because I wanted to do things other people could do freely.

I couldn't deny my wild side, and sometimes I dreamed I was running free laughing. I wondered when can I have that kind of freedom, and that is why I wanted to run away from home, but I felt guilty since I am an only child, and right now I am having second thoughts, and I couldn't deny it was because of Oliver. 

I am falling in love with him, and if I run away, I will never see him again. And Oliver is the reason why I wanted to stay here, and even if it has been a long time that I dreamed of running away from home and living on my own, where I can have my own life and my own rule. I can feel the excitement, but when I think about it lately, I could feel the sting on my chest, and it feels like it would become the hardest decision I will ever make.

"Yes, mom, I am fine; I just couldn't believe until now that you are here," I said as I looked at them. And I was always fascinated by my mother's beauty since she looked like a goddess, and my dad was dashing as always. My mother was wearing an emerald green dress with a plunging neckline, where her cleavage is emphasized by the design of her dress.

I felt glad I inherited her figure, yes they all say I got my mom's physical appearance, and even if she had given birth to me, I could still see the perfect hourglass figure that will make men go crazy over her, and no wonder my dad is not an exemption.

I could always see his love for my mother every time he looked at her with his compelling eyes. And I could see how much they adored each other, and I always wanted to have that kind of relationship when I got married, and I blushed as I thought of Oliver Prize.

How could I think about marriage when I am only turning eighteen soon? I shook my head, and I found my parents staring at me, and I could feel my face turn redder. I felt guilty that I was thinking about a boy when I had dinner with my parents. I should have spent my time with them with no interruptions since I missed having this moment with my mom and dad.

"Are you sure you are alright, my dear?" My dad asked as he looked at me.

"Yes, dad, and why are you so worried if I am not okay when you didn't even bother to call me when you were away?" I asked, and it was already late when I realized I shouldn't have spoken that way to my parents, and I could see the guilt on their faces.

"I am sorry, guys, I am just frustrated that you didn't even come and watch me during the math competition this afternoon which I won; by the way, you already arrived in our estate. How could you not go to the venue of the contest?" I asked, and I could no longer hide what I felt.

"Victoria, I am sorry, my dear, it was already late when we arrived home, and I thought we couldn't make it," My dad responded as he took my hand over the table.

"It is okay, dad; I am used to it anyway. I am happy that you are here now with me." I said as I tried to smile at them. I don't want to ruin the moment with my parents since this is only once in a blue moon that I could have dinner with them.

"Don't worry, Victoria, we will be spending our weekend in your favorite place, and I am sure you will love spending time in our paradise." My mom said with a wide grin on her face, and I know how much she loves the island too, and I wanted to ask if Oliver would be coming with us, but I felt shy, and I didn't want them to know that I am now in love with him even if I could feel it that dad wanted me to be Oliver's girlfriend.

We continued to eat, and I felt glad I was able to control my emotions as I conversed with my parents. I could feel their love for me, but I wanted to tell them I needed them in my life; even if I am independent, there are still moments I longed to have them when I needed their moral support.

"Dad, can I drive my car after I turn eighteen?" I asked, and I knew my question stunned him.

"Please, dad, that would only be my only wish," I added before he could answer me, and he looked at my mom, and I smiled when my mom smiled at him, and she was squeezing my dad's hand.

"Okay, but you have to promise me you will be a responsible driver, and you can drive now if Jason is with you or Oliver." He said, and I couldn't stop myself from smiling as I realized Oliver would come back to our house since my father knew about Oliver's whereabouts, and I wanted to ask what happened to him, but I felt shy.

I got up from my seat, and I walked towards him and hugged my dad, and then I moved to my mom and did the same, and I could smell her expensive perfume, and I smiled as I realized I could drive my car, and I can finally feel the freedom.

We got out of the restaurant, and I could still feel the happiness in my heart, and I could see my dad's men move and even if they were trying to merge with the crowd as if they were also customers having dinner at the restaurant, I could still see them. My dad's driver opened the door for us, and we got inside the car; I couldn't stop myself from imagining myself driving my own car, and I was smiling the entire ride.

The following day I had breakfast with my parents, and I was shocked when my dad drove me to school with my mother; even if he was driving the car, I could still see the cars of his bodyguards following behind us, and I couldn't be happier, but there is a part of me that feels lonely. It was because I was missing Oliver like crazy.

I am thankful my parents came home, or I would be spending the night feeling so alone. I know I will not see the grey wolf since he won't be there if his master is not around, and how I wish I could ask Oliver to lend me his pet when he is away. Maybe next time I will get the courage to ask him about his wolf, and I know I tried to use his wolf so he would get evicted from our house, and I felt glad my dad didn't listen to me that time, or else I will spend my days with regrets.

The moment we arrived at the school parking lot, everyone who was lingering in the area was looking in the direction of my dad's car; I know for one reason, they were impressed with my dad's newest collection. I don't know how expensive this car would be, but the way the boys looked at it, I could tell my dad spent a fortune on this car alone.

I could see the expression on my father's face when she saw Declan moving towards the car, and I could feel the sudden tension when I heard my mom ask my father to calm down.

"Niklaus, take it easy, my love." My mother added, and I have always known her calm voice will always soothe my father's nerve, and I could feel him relaxed as he opened the car door, and when Declan saw my father get out of the car, he took a back step and I could see his face pale.

"What is going on, Mom?" I asked as I looked at my father walking towards Declan.

"Nothing, Victoria," She responded, and I could tell my mom was lying since I could hear the trembling in her voice.

"Mom, you can't fool me, I am no longer a child, and I am almost eighteen, and I could tell something is going on; why does it seem like dad is angry with Declan?" I asked again, and this time I wanted to get out and be with them, but I needed to learn the truth from my mother, and I would not go unless I had some answers.

"Do you know him? He is the newest transferee in our school." I said, and when she turned her head and looked at me, I could tell that something was going on.

"Declan's father was my ex," She said, and my eyes got so big, and I became speechless.

"What?" I asked in disbelief.

"Yeah, and we don't have enough time; I will tell you everything when we are alone, Victoria, but right now, please go to your father and tell him I was waiting for him." She said, and I couldn't believe what I heard from my mom, and I got out hastily.

"Stay away from my daughter!" My father said in a stern voice, and this was the first time I heard him get so worked up about something.

"I will never be your decision to make, Niklaus," Declan said in the same manner, and I could see how his facial expression changed from anger to being tender when he saw me walking towards my dad.

"Hello, Victoria," He greeted me with a broad smile on his face, and I suddenly felt worried about what was going on because I could see Declan's anger behind his beautiful smile.
