BEST KEPT SECRET by Granny Annie
Matilda cried and wanted to flee their home. Her father knocked softly on her bedroom door. “Go away” she demanded. He responded, “Let me in unless you want me to smash the door.”
Matilda tip-toed toward the door and reluctantly allowed her father entrance. He was carrying the most beautiful gown she had ever seen. She was totally enchanted by the beauty of the dress and by the gorgeous heart-shaped orchid corsage bouquet he brought in. “You are going to the lavish ball tonight and I am your date.” Her father was very handsome in his tuxedo and Matilda began scurrying around to get ready. She was filled with excitement. Her date had backed out but she would be able to share in the party with champagne, caviar and candlelight anyway.
It was the first time the village paid attention to Matilda. They never realized she was the Princess and her father was their King. It has been a wall guarded secret until now. The date who had jilted her stood trembling as Matilda and her father entered the ballroom.
Wonderful. The best revenge is having a king for a daddy.
