Am I seeing what I think I am seeing? Is that really my Dad? Oh God...

He looks older...and he looks really gone through a hard time. But what confused me is...who is that young boy he is holding? Where's my sister?

I was going to open my door but Ben stopped me from opening the door and locked it. I swear, I am going to kill this man any moment now.

"Ms. Laura, you are not allowed to get out of this car" he said seriously at me.

I eyed him angrily,  my blood is totally boiling right now "Ben, open the door or I will break this door "

But still, Ben remained still, not moving "Boss will kill me if he finds out that I let you step out of this car. Even worse if I let you talk to your parents"

Taking a deep breath, I relaxed myself but I don't care. I am going to talk to my Dad right now. "Ben, I swear to God if you didn't open this door....You need to find another job tomorrow"

Ben's face stiffed. Might be thinking of his answer. Wordles, I heard my door unlocked and not wasting more time. I quickly opened the door and ran to catch up with my Dad.

I ran faster, catching up with him. My head is ringing, my heart is pumping fast but thes huge grin in my face cant be hide. "Dad!" I yelled because he was about to unlock someone's gate

Dad stopped at where he stands. He might heard my voice. He looked around, searching for something.

"Dad?" I called much softer now.

Then he turned around, now he saw me. He blinked three times to see me clearly but like I said. I am not going to waste my time.

My time is only limited so ran to him and hugged him tiggtly. Oh God,  "DAD!"

My Dad hugged me back then break the hug "Laura? Is that really you? My God, you look beautiful"

I nod my head and wiped my tears away "Finally! Someone familiar to me. I missed you Dad"

He smiled back happily "How are you? Is Sr. Wilson, treating you well"

But I just faked a smile and nod my head "He has been taking care of me. He even made me study in Paris, Dad! How great is that"

"Good to know that he has been nice to you. I did nothing but worry and think if he will treat you properly" he said

I seem to notice the young boy he is holding in his hand who is looking at me awkwardly and probably not knowing of what is going on. "Who is this? " I asked pointing at him "Where's Mom? Jess?" I want to see them! I really wanted to see them.  Hug them and tell them everything.

Dad 's eyes changed. He turn to the kid and said "You go home ahead, Mike."

Something is fishy...

"What happened Dad?" I asked. My voice was a little shaky and nervous at the same time. My conscience tells me something is wrong.

"I'll show you where your Mom is, sweetie" he said but there is something in his voice.

There is surely something is wrong...

﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏

I came home that night, my mind was blanked. It feels like all of my blood was drained and gone the moment I left my Dad.

But when I realized that we are already in the mansion. My legs move on it's own but my I finally woke up from being absent minded when I saw Douglas' car parked already.

He's here

I didn't want for the maid s or Butlers to open my door I just roughly open it and enter the mansion that took the maids to surprise. Now my blood is really boiling.

I am boiling in anger. So flaming in anger.

"Where's Douglas?" I asked the maid

"In his office, Ms. Laura"

I turn around to leave them and ran upstairs. His office is far from here and I was running to him.

When I reached his office, I didnt knock or tell him that I am coming in. I justbarged in  and there he was standing,  his back facing me. The light was on so I can see him clearly that he is looking at the large glass windows

"Mind explaning me, why you are late? It's 8 pm and should only be home before 3" he told me.

But I didn't answer him. I just screamed and punched him and started slapping him. In his face, arm, chest and turso. I dont care. I just want to fucking hurt him!

"Stop that, you damn woman!" he screamed to me and since he is stronger than me, he had the strength to push me. I ended up hitting his desk and hurting my whole backk and hit the lampshade 

I stumble down on the floor wit the lampshade. I was already crying.

Douglas walked closer to me, raising his hand and now he was the one who slapped me in the face...too hard making me wince in pain.

"Don't you dare try raise a hand to me, Laura. Remember, because of me, you and able to reach the dream you wanted!" he shouted at me

"How can it became my dream if you let my Mom die!" I shouted at him as tears continue to fall. "You made me believe that you will help my mother live if I come with you!!"

"Your mother is going to die anyway! There is no chance for her to live!!! So I am not going to waste my money on someone like her!" he said venom coming our of his mouth.
"You looked for your family?! "

"I didnt look for them. I was just passing by and saw my Dad.!" I shot back at him

"Don't you dare raise your voice at me, Laura or I will tighten your security and you will not work on that bullshit school ever again!!!" he pointed his finger at me.

I just remained silent. If Douglas finally said that I am not going to work to the school, he will really mean it and I dont want my life to miserable again.

"You are not allowed see your family again. You understand me, Laura?" he said facing away and bring out a cigarette and light it "I am leaving tomorrow. Have business things going to do and it will take 7 months for me to finish it or more"

I raised my head to look at him.

I am leaving tomorrow

I think that was the best thing I heard so far.

"But I will tighten your security amd everything in this house. You should expect that already." he spoke straight and seriousness . "You will not see your family again, I repeat."

"I am done with you. Now leave, my office before I do something to you even worse" he said

"Fuck you, Douglas! Go to h•ll!" I shouted and I quickly got myself up and left his office and ran to mine.

When I reached my room, I just locked myself and cried my heart out. I was really crying and screaming. I was been fooled.

He is so mean! Not just mean but he is so evil! How can he be so evil and cruel! Don't he even have mercy in his black heart?

This night, all I did was cry...ans cry...and cry

﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏﹏

What are we doing here in the cemetery?  Little by little, I am realizing something. Cemetery are for dead people,  right?

Dad was silent and sadness in his face while on our way. His face was down and trying hold back the tears.

"Dad?" I broke the silence when Dad suddenly stopped and I looked at the tomb he was looking at. 

Then I started to cry again. It says....

May she rest in peace

"She died a week after you left. We never received any money from Sr. Wilson. We are actually expecting that but nothing came.." he paused for a second "...until the last minute, your Mom  said that is okay. Just tell Laura that I love her and always take care and that your money was sorry because you are the one that is sacrificing for us"

I can't speak. I don't know what to say. But I just broke down and walked out. Ben was still waiting at where I left him near their house. We just walked

"Where's Jess?" I asked

"She is still at school" he replied

"And that kid?" I said referring to the boy

It took him for a while to answer "My son"

My eyebrows frown "Your son? Your son...That means your married and had another woman?! "

Okay, I had enough of this shocking news

"Its not like that, sweetheart. Yes, I am married again but my love for your mother was still here" he pointed out his heart  but I need someone too. Jess was still young and needs a mother. Irish was there and she loves Jess and Jess loves her too"

I just nod my head and just walked away. I need time to cool off. I need so space to be alone...
