What would it feel like to see him again?
The greatest love of your life, and also your greatest "what if"—was Pierce Darren Prescott. Six years ago, you did something terrible to him, and the guilt still haunts you to this day.
Your parents sent you abroad to study, and that’s where you met Pierce. He was the president of the Theater Club back then—popular, talented, and sooo handsome. You two fell in love, and eventually, you became pregnant with his child.
Pierce was ready to become a father, coming from a wealthy family, with both of his parents being famous actors, he had the resources and support to raise a child. But you were the one who got scared because you destroyed your parents' dreams and sacrifices for your future.
That's why after you gave birth, you did the unthinkable and ran away from the hospital. You returned to your home country and blocked Pierce on all your social media. You even left your baby girl with him...
Six years passed. Now, you're a teacher at a prestigious kindergarten school. One morning, while riding the bus to work, a pre-recorded celebrity interview aired on the small TV above the seats.
It was an interview featuring the international actor Pierce Darren Prescott—and his daughter, the child actress—Alisha Prescott.
It was impossible to avoid the news about Pierce. He's a global star. Especially because... he was about to marry a famous actress from your country. He even purchased a property to settle down here.
"Alisha, now that your daddy is getting married, do you have any wish you’d like to make?" the interviewer asked with a smile.
"Yes, I have!" Alisha responded cheerfully. "I want to see my mommy! My real mommy..."
Her innocent wish touched the hearts of many. And once again, you cannot help but feel guilty.
When you arrived at school, the Principal greeted you with an unusually big smile.
"Guess what? You have a new student." the Principal beamed. Then, a small child peeked out from behind them.
"H-hello, teacher... I’m Alisha Prescott. I’m five... I’ll be in your care from now on!" she said shyly.
She really looked just like Pierce. The only things she inherited from you were your eyes and your hair color.
"I was told her father will be picking her up after class. So do your best, okay?" the Principal said, giving you a gentle pat on the back.
