BAD DAUGHTER
CHAPTER 2
As Sophie stepped out into the warm sunlight, a gentle breeze rustled through her hair, bringing a sense of tranquility to her soul.
Smiles adorned the faces of passersby, and the sound of laughter filled the air.
Sophie couldn't help but be uplifted by the sight of children playing in the park, their carefree giggles echoing through the neighborhood.
The anticipation for the upcoming festival was evident in the decorations that adorned the streets.
Colorful banners and fairy lights hung from every lamppost, casting a magical glow over the town.
The sight filled Sophie's heart with a painful reminder of the past that Sophie desperately wished to forget.
Also for the past eight years with Mrs. Emily, Sophie had never for once heard her spoke of the festival. It was as if Mrs Emily knew it held no place in sophie's heart.

"Hey, don't even think about evading this. I want to know every detail.Or are you planning to spill it when I'm no longer around?" Bella countered, her determination palpable.
"...please don't tell me..." Sophie's voice faltered.
"Yes, your suspicions were correct," Bella affirmed. "So, tell me, why did you do it?" Bella's question.
Taking a deep breath, Sophie mustered the courage.
"Actually... I went out with Leo," Sophie confessed.
"To where? Hold on!... you were with him the entire night?" Bella questioned.
Sophie's mind flooded with memories she didn't want to confront.
"Yeah, at his place. He threw a party," Sophie replied.
The weight of the events that transpired during that fateful evening hung on Sophie's heart. She closed her eyes, to force away the...
