I'm Not Daria

I'm Not Daria
Daria's replacement


Our room may be two or three stories high. Beneath there is a fountain right in front of the entrance with a round of roads around it. The round driveway fused into the deepening path of the mansion, and the straight route of the road leading to the high gate.


The large entrance is lined with tall trees and lined with a gold-plated iron fence.


On one side was a tennis court, and on the other was a huge garden blooming with all sorts of flowers. There were three cars parked in the driveway but I suspect they had an underground parking lot where they must have kept another car. My eyes were almost out of their sockets when I realized that the cars were very expensive, very expensive.


I can't believe that my parents, I don't mean my temporary parents are billionaires who can afford it. One is the sleek black Aston Martin Vanquish, the other is the yellow Porsche 918 Spyder and the third is the silver Maybach Exelero.


"Why do you look like you just saw Pocong?"Anna asked from behind me.


"Oh my God" I cried. "These cars, Ann! My God, it's so expensive, "I keep staring at them


beautiful cars with fingers pointing towards them..


There were Anna's footsteps approaching me. "Wow!"He said, put his hand on the window and put his own nose to the window.


We might look like poor kids outside a candy store, staring at candy we can't afford.


together, our noses stick to the glass. "Oh my God, this is a big house!"Anna's Speech


"it's more like a huge mansion!"i corrected.


"Darla, I really want to enjoy life like this, at least for a while," he said, staring at the cars in admiration.


Anna had a crazy car fetish when I preferred to be a bike crazy person, although I also never cycled for life.


"We can't" I said slowly. As much as I wanted to stay in a palace like this, which was surrounded by so many luxuries, but we couldn't because we didn't deserve this, we didn't even have it. This luxury and this palace were meant for others. And I was mistaken as that guy, that's all! and that was a mistake.


"Why not?"Anna asked, her tone calm and as if she knew if we would finally stay here.


I shook my head at him, turned around and pressed my back against the window to remind myself where I really am.


"This is so wrong. I can't be like this. The old woman was wrong. I'm not his daughter. And I can't fool them by acting like their real daughter. I don't even know how he behaves. I can't, Anna. If anyone finds out about this, we'll be pretty fucked up."


"But no one will know if we don't talk about this Darla, it's not our fault that they kidnapped us. They must be


someone who apologized to us. And it's for good. Didn't you see how happy they were when they met you??? They think you're their missing biological daughter, can't you just do a little thing by pretending to make them happy for a little while? Imagine how broken his heart was


when they found out that you weren't their daughter" Anna gasped drastically, putting a hand on her chest. But I know that's not what Anna's worried about. "They will be very sad. And you'll be responsible for it."


"But what we are"


"Silent. I can't let you hurt them. They're a sweet couple and they don't deserve to be hurt. You have to keep doing this Darla play. At least for me. You want to, right?"He looked at me with his eyebrows up as if challenging me to say no.


"i'd better sell my kidney!"


"Oh come on Darla, don't be too hard" insisted Anna.


"But if we continue this, they will be more hurt. We'll keep lying ann. They'll find out one day, "I said as I frowned because I was worried that some of the screws on Anna's head had come off because she wasn't thinking straight.


"Please, Darla. It will happen someday, but this is not the time. No matter how much you'll try to convince the truth about them, they'll never trust you. They'll take this as one of your attempts to escape. They won't let you go. So you have no choice but to do this. Come on, say yes. Nothing bad will happen."


I looked at Anna with furrowed brows, contemplating what to do. I'm sure they wouldn't do it. They listened to me if I told them I wasn't who they thought I was. but after I digested anna's words, she was right, the opportunity to escape from this place was small. So the only way is to be a pretend princess. Being someone I've never met and don't know at all. The only thing I know about her, she's a rich girl. And of course it sucks.


That's gonna be tough. And that would be a stupid thing. But that's what I want. At least I have Anna here. If I go downstairs, I'll take her down as well.


But I can avoid this mess.I don't need to do this and make the couple suffer even more. But as Anna said, I tried as hard as I could to convince them of the truth, they wouldn't listen and I trusted him because they actually kidnapped us the night the woman saw me and thought I was his daughter.


"A - I don't know what to do," I said. "I want to do this. But I don't want to."


"You think too much about things. Just say yes!"Anna was upset.


"But this is wrong" I argue. Anna can get anything but she definitely knows what she's asking me.


that's so wrong. I don't even know what to do now. Part of me wants to try it. But another part of me


want to escape from all this and not want to hurt the couple.


"There is nothing right or wrong. There are only good choices and bad choices. And saying no, would be a bad choice for us.


Say yes!"Anna tried again.


"Why are you so adamant about making me say yes? Why do you want to do this?!"I asked, annoyed that he is not yet an adult


"Do I really have to tell you ? Have I ever wondered what your life would be like as a billionaire's daughter? Nope"


"every day you get a chance in such a luxurious life".


"Are you planning to rob them!? God, how can you think of Anna?!"I asked surprised that he would


trying to do something like that.


"What?! No. gabe. Of course not! I'm not a robber. How can you think of me like that?"


"Alright, but all your explanations hint at one explanation you might think that you're trying to rob them."I snapped.


"You're thinking too far. I don't plan on robbing them. God, no. I just want you to agree. We're not very lucky to be in this situation. Anyone in your situation will agree to it


in a flash. Stop being such a saint. There's nothing wrong with this. If anything, that old couple is wrong because they kidnapped you and me".


"But it was a mistake."


"A terrible mistake. Think of this as their compensation for abducting us," he said, making it sound right to me


"again, "Say yes, Darla. Stop being so honest."


"Why did this happen to us."I groaned, buried my head in my hands.


Anna put a hand on my shoulder. "Things happen in life for a reason". He told me with a gentle smile. "And mostly for something good. So ... are you going to do it?"


"Do I have a choice?". I asked tiredly.


"No. So what do you think?"


I hesitated a bit, biting my nails nervously before finally answering with a sigh, "Yes."
