Ok..so starts are Sunny's journey. It is obvious Sergei is falling for her (hard) but so is Nikki. I am worried about the closeness of these two. I know Sunny will not do anything to endanger her lil brother even if she falls for Sergei ..but I am worried about Nikki perceived deception. When he sees them in those pictures together during the vacation , he is sure to to get the wrong impression. Will he make our Sunny run or will he hurt Sergei...I am worried about them both.

It made sad that she is giving up so much (and unselfishly I might say, no complaints at all) and her stinkin daddy could not even be there to say good bye to his daughter, to hug her and tell her thank you and let her know that although he was less than a man , he owed her his life (literally)...yet she still left him half her money and told him they loved him..that just broke my heart for her.

I just wish she was older and had a childhood and young adult hood before Nikki ruined it all. Maybe she will change him..maybe he will want to be a better man for her,,maybe she will even grow to love him..I just want after all the dust settles..for her to be happy and safe and Benji too!

I have a Christmas wish I posted on the challenge..an updt with Sunny having a Christmas filled with all her desires and one of the happiest she has ever experienced..that would be nice.

You are doing such a fantastic job with this story sweetie..excellent!

I like all the characters in this story except the father. He could either get help and change his life for his children or he could die from alcohol poisin. I personally perfer he die but thats me.

I love it....It is a great story and I am checking every time I am on the computer, which is everyday...all day:-)

Please keep it coming. 

Loved the update. Glad Sunny and Benji had some time together before these new changes in their lives occur. Sergei seems so innocent, hope he stays on the right path and doesn't cross Nikolai with Sunny.

I know  Nikolai is gansta but I'm liking Sunny for him. Anyway, looks like she and Priscilla are getting along ok which is good. Wow, now that she's in her new home, can't wait to see what happens from here. Hope pop gets the message and gets himself some help.

I hope she can be turly happy one day. Sergei is skating on dangerous ground. He needs to get rid of that picture because if Nikolai finds it there is going to be hell to pay. I was thinking she might develop feelings for Sergei but it doesn't look that way at least for now. Priscilla sounds like a sweet little lady maybe she'll be her sounding board!! Wonderful update.

If THIS doesn't convince Pops to get the help he needs and save his daughter, nothing will.

Sunny's a better person than I am. I would have written him off a long time ago.

That was an emotional update at least for me.

Sergei is falling in love with Sunny.

I think Nikolai is also falling in love with Sunny.

Priscilla likes Sunny I can tell already but what's not to like.  She's a good girl and her brother is a good boy.

Sunny left her selfish father $4000 dollars and told him that she and Ben loves him and to get help I wonder will he or will he just gamble the $4000.00 away.

Anatoly recognizes that Sunny is a good girl I didn't think he would I thought he had a low opinion of all women I am glad to see I was wrong and he also recognizes that his brother is falling for Sunny.

Sunny is trying to make a situation she does not wish to be in bearable I admire her strenght and intelligence and I know she will do well.  Yeah! Is Nikki consider her boyfriend now?

Love the story thanks for the update more please.

I Love this story so much.  I really appreciate you updating regularly.  I can't wait to come home from work and see an update. 

Thank you.

There is something about the sacrifice Sunsgine is amking for her family that is very mature, brave but extremely sad. Even if she does develop feeling for Nikki and he gives her all the things she wants, it is by force not choice that this child is giving up her youth for the man almost twice her age. Nikki would be a lot sexier to me if Sunshine was 25 years old and this was her choice. That being said I do not see Nikki as the Beast as much as I see her self centered pitiful father as the Beast..that would allow his beautiful young daughter to sacrifice so much because he us not man enough to a real parent. I hope he redeems himself or mets the end he deserves.

I hope Benji grows up to appreciate all his sister is doing for him. He loves her so much and he apparently adores him and shes herself as his only provider and parent. She is giving up so much for him and her dad,

I do not see this thing ending well with Nikki and Sunshine because it is not starting off on equal standing. She is his captive with only limited feedom. I know even if she does not at some point he will be jealous and she may have to run,,I only wonder what will happen to make that a reality.

I just want Sunshine and Benji to end ths in good shape..I know there will be angst and fear but plz don't let this wonderful mature little girl end up on the bad end of all this..she deserves it least!!

I love this story sweetie...and you are doing an awesome job writing it!!

wow i see the father is still you know what. i like she slept in his jacket and it good he going to let her spend time with her brother  before everything else happen. i think sunshine will rub off on him in a very good way. thanks for the updated love the story i'm hook to this lol.

I love how Sunshine is trying to make things better for her and her brother, just sorry this is the route she has to take. Benji is more of a man than his dad is that's for sure!  Thanks for another wonderful update!!

Great update!  I think for such a young person Sunshine is very mature, its a pity the father doesn't realise he needs to stop drinking and get it together to save his daughter.  Anyway l wait for the next chapter with anticipation.

Awesome, awesome update!!! I absolutely loved it. My heart goes out to Sunny as she's trying to make the best out of the situation handed to her while looking out for Benji.

Her dad, I just don't know what to say about him, but he has a serious gambling problem and in face of losing everything he still hasn't gotten his act together. His children have to loose their childhood and grow up faster and he still losing himself in the bottle. Just so sad.

Nikki really seems into Sunny and it seems she's into him too. I hope they can make it work. Hmm, I just wondered if she'll be able to accomplish her goals as she has planned. I hope so. I also was curious if a lil Nikki was in the works as they didn't use any protection despite her being on the pills. That would definitely make for an interesting twist.

Hope Nikki allows her the space she requested to spend time with her brother and doesn't smuther her by being too controlling. Nikki locks like he has trust issues which I hope he gets a handle on. Would he ever try to become legit??? Excellent story so far. Hope love rules at the end of the day.
