Riya's POV:

"Miss Kader, you have been selected as a Project Manager in the Global Institute Of Technology at NYU. They are providing a good salary. So, what do you say? Are you going to accept this offer or decline it as you have before?" My boss asked me.

He was a man in his mid-fifties and was like a father figure to me. When his son found me lying unconscious on the road, he took me to the hospital and his dad insisted that I come to their home. He treats me as his own daughter. He even offered me a job at his company. I couldn't be luckier to find a family like this, even after losing everything I had.

He has three sons, all of them are older than me. They get really overprotective over me and Sweety.

Mr. Smith is so professional when it comes to his work. After all, he is the CEO here and he owns three big companies apart from this one.

His sons are running the companies successfully, just like how he wished.

He is extremely proud of his children and wishes to see me stand on my own feet and make him proud.

"I don't know, Mr. Smith. I don't know anyone there." I wailed. I have no courage to meet new people.

"Come on Riya, just call me John. Smith makes me sound old." He protested.

"Okay, Dad. I have no idea what to do. I don't want her to feel lonely out there. You all are her family. What if she feels deserted after leaving all of you?"

"Riya, she's mamma's girl. She'll have no problem till you are with her. I think she is fine but your mind is anticipating you." He stated the truth.

I let out a defeated sigh. He was right. I can't leave this place. This place carries so many memories. Those memories are still haunting me. My eyes moistened a bit but I blinked it away when I remembered the incidents that I wanted to forget forever.

"Riya, you have to be strong, at least for our Sweety. I already arranged the school for her. She'll start going to school this year, right?" When did she grow up so fast?

I nodded my head and agreed with him. My baby has grown fast.

"If you accept the offer, I will be the happiest man on earth. You may not consider me as your father, but you are and you always will be my daughter. I will always do what's best for you." He said sincerely.

The memories of what my parents did to me came into my mind and tears started to run down my cheeks.

They abandoned me while I was two months along. They called me names and refused to accept me and my baby. They wanted me to abort my child. So I left my home.

"Don't cry my girl, everything is going to alright" he stood on his place and patted my back to comfort me. "So, what's your decision? Are you going or not?" he asked me once again with hopeful eyes.

Not wanting to disappoint him, I nodded my head. "Of course, I will." I hugged him. "If that is what you want, then I will definitely go," I assured him.

"I promise you, honey. You will be very happy there," he assured me back.

I smiled at him widely and asked: "So, when exactly am I leaving to New York?"
