I'm Not Daria
Take a short walk

It's been five days since my dinner with Devan. Within five days there was a phenomenal change in devan's behavior towards me.

Although sometimes he still feels annoyed with me, but it is not a big deal. We would greet each other and let silence settle between us before one of us tried to make small talk.

We are no longer rude or disrespectful to each other. I know he still thinks of me as an arrogant rich man, but I can see that he's starting to see the other side of me. The side that was mostly my true self and the very few that were Daria.

Just two days before my real and fake birthday which strangely coincided by chance, there was a huge commotion in Ms. Daralyn's household. I heard from Anna that Ms. Daralyn had canceled all her previous plans and now there will only be private dinner celebrations with close friends and family.

Daralyn calls Anna every day for even the smallest details for my birthday party, I can see that she is more excited than anyone for her daughter's birthday.

I kind of understand her emotions.I would be very happy too if I found my daughter who ran away. Putting myself in his position, I can't blame him for acting like a kid in a candy store.

Anna had told me, a large hall in a five-star hotel has been booked and measures have been taken to maintain strict security and not let anyone off the hook. The search list will be limited, to the extent that the Daralyn family can make it happen.

Anna doesn't have much of a say in the search list, but it doesn't matter because she has done everything she can to help me.

I'm glad everything went the way we wanted. Without Luna, this would not have been possible and we would have been caught in a matter of days. With Luna guiding me on how to defend myself convincingly, feeling much more confident now.

It was after lunch. Account chat with Mario until he has to shop. Daralyn's family always sends cooks to shop, because they believe that fresh, top-quality products can only be produced by well-known chefs. Mario and his friend Lukas, appointed to shop two or three times a week, depending on needs.

At about four in the afternoon, two cars stopped in front of the house. Samantha comes out holding Jess and Liam out of the other car.

Sam hugged me.

"I'm so happy for your birthday!" He exclaimed, squeezing poor Jess between us

She groaned sleepily and Sam shifted her head so Jess' cheeks leaned against her shoulders. It didn't take long for him to get up and start running around the mansion, calling me to catch him

Liam ruffled my hair and without much greeting, he stepped inside the mansion.

They came here to spend some time with me before my birthday, but that couldn't have been the case because Jessica was a ball of energy. He begged even Anna to play hide and seek with him.

Anna did not last long in that game and she left, exhausted.

"I'll never have children of my own" he murmured.

Anna did not hate the children, but also disliked them. They are irritating, whiny, and crying too much and too hard for her to like. And he only liked them while they were sleeping.

With great difficulty I was finally able to put little Jess to sleep in my bed.

I realized that I hadn't been out of this mansion in a long time, except once with Devan. Mario still hasn't returned from grocery shopping.

Maybe I can go out for a second? sick of staying in the mansion for so long.wanted fresh air and wanted to see if I could get out of here or Miss Daralyn would be too possessive and demanding to go everywhere.

After telling mom about my plan, she was very hesitant to tell me to come out. She was afraid I would run away again and despite promising not to run away, she still looked unsure.

"Darling, just take the bodyguards with you or I'll worry about you endlessly.

"Of course" I said

I got in the car and told the driver to drive to the nearest park, not wanting to stay in the park, wanting to go somewhere new

Anna was tired after helping Ms. Daralyn and playing with Jess for two hours straight, so she didn't want to come with me. But he warned me not to run away. Did he really think I would leave without him?

No. gabe. I just want to stay away from all this for a few hours to eliminate everything that's been going on for this month.

When we arrived, we saw that it was an ordinary garden. It was late in the afternoon and the sun was about to set. Few people were around, but they didn't notice me.

I sat on the bench alone after telling the bodyguard and driver to wait for me outside the park. They didn't listen to me at first, but then I had to use my last option to threaten them with their work, because it was something Daria assumed she would do to get her wish.

The bodyguard muttered something about how he would be fired if something happened to me, but I just waved my hand. Nothing's gonna happen to me.

There were still some little kids around, playing and I just sat there and looked at them.

I feel free. Away from my false parents and their magnificent home, I felt free and like a heavy burden was lifted off my shoulders.

I let myself think about everything that happened. It's time we thought about getting out of here. Even though we both enjoyed our time in that mansion, we really shouldn't do it.

I wanted to call Luna and tell her to force Daria out of hiding. It's been two years. He cannot hide from his family forever, especially for trivial reasons.

But then there was a small possibility where he could relate to Daria. Don't know how but we might have a blood relationship.

I know that idea sounds silly because I have my own parents and it does look a bit like them but it looks a lot like Daria's parents too.

But if they were my parents, then who was the one who called mom and dad all this time? They certainly wouldn't lie to me

But a greater possibility says that this could all just be a chaotic coincidence. Yes, there are seven people in this world who are similar to us. Daria was one of the seven people who looked like me. My mind told me not to think too much about it. I'm not their daughter, only their daughter is not genuine for now.
