Chapter 55: Unexpected Visitor "Your father has arrived, Miss..." Matias said in his low voice. I can still sense the slight guilt in his voice, and I feel sad for it. I wasn't blaming anyone. It wasn't his fault nor his team's fault. They did all their best to protect my father. It's just that... maybe, just maybe it was his time.Yes. I am slowly accepting the truth that my father is really gone, and that he won't be back anymore. I have to accept it. We have to, so we can all be able to move forward and continue our lives. But before that, I will still have to capture the person who's behind my Dad's death. I will surely put him or her behind bars."D-do you want me to prepare your dinner, Miss?" He asked again. "Ahm, I can also prepare something for Kierro..."I smiled softly and shook my head. "There's no need, Mat. Can you face the people who are here for... the meantime? I can face them tomorrow, but not now..."His eyes sparkled as he smiled a bit. "Sure, Miss--""And please
Chapter 56: Last MomentI was tensed the whole day. Although I wasn't that tired at all because the maids helped me entertain everyone who came to see and look at Dad and also to send condolences, I still feel very drained. Most especially that I can feel Logans gaze at me everywhere I go. He's really following my every moves and I feel uncomfortable about it. I act like his stares are nothing to me, but deep inside, it was sending different shivers in my body. And I was glad that he didn't pushed himself to talk to me or ask me anything that concerns about Kierro, because I am still not ready to talk to him about it.The next day, I wore an all black sleeveless dress that's above my knee. It completely hugged and complimented each curves of my body. I smiled while staring at my own reflection in front of the mirror. Seeing my body now is what makes me more proud of myself. It satisfied me knowing that I carried Kierro inside me for nine months. I used to have a fragile body, but no
Chapter 57Watching my father's casket being dragged down the soil to be buried was painful. I cried my heart out knowing that I wouldn't be able to see the old man ever again. Why is this happening? Oh God. This is too sudden, really. I wasn't even able to spend more time with him after a year and then I lost him? We lost him.How am I going to survive the next day now that he's not by my side to support me? How am I going to get through all this? My Kierro Achellus is still too young for this. He doesn't deserve this. We don't deserve this. "Momma..." I heard Kierro's soft voice behind me. I turned to look at him, only to see him being carried by his father. I totally forgot about my own son because of this. I couldn't but feel a little guilty. I was too busy of mourning on my own, that I forgot about my son who's probably as devastated as me too.A small smile slowly stretched on my lips. "Come here, baby. Let's go home, hmm?" I am well aware of the stare that I am getting from L
Chapter 58The next day, I was bombarded with a lot of messages and emails coming from the investors and the board members in Dad's company. They were asking me what will happen to the company now that Dad's gone. Seriously, these people are kinda disgusting. Dad just died and yet, they want me to take the responsibility already. They didn't even give me enough time to mourn. If I have any other choice, I would've been choosing something else, but then I don't. I am the only successor of my father, the heiress of his business that he worked his ass off, so I will be taking over it even when I am not that ready yet. After taking a bath, I started choosing clothes to wear and decided to wear a black sweetheart corset top and paired it with a black blazer and a white trouser as the buttom to complete my look. I tied my hair in a neat bun with some strands left on each side to highlight my face. I wore pair of channel gold earrings and safety pin gold necklace. I put on my gold wrist wa
Chapter 59: Got You"What was that?" That was the first question that came out from my mouth when all the board members left and I was left alone with Logan Sullivan inside. Mateo also left because I told him to watch for my son. He was hesitant at first, but then he followed me eventually."What? I was only telling them the truth. You're still the President and the CEO of your Dad's company. You deserve that position, Kieran. Don't let other people tell you otherwise, hmm?" I frowned at him to show him that I wasn't liking even a tiny bit of what's coming our from his mouth. Seriously? It still bothers me how he can say these words so easily like he never did me wrong before?Were we okay? No, we aren't. And we will never be fine, so it would be much better if we part our ways completely. But why does fate seemed to be playing with us?"What game are you seriously playing, Logan Sullivan? Didn't I told you already that I don't want to see you ever again? Why can't you understand that
Chapter 60: See You "Are you really sure about this, Ma'am?" I stopped signing the papers when I heard Matias' voice, asking me about my plan of investigating Dad's death again. He doesn't have to ask me that though. I know that he already saw my determination to dig dipper about my Dad's case. I can't just shut my mouth forever when I know that something's going on. And my first suspect would be Claire and Anita. I may not have proofs to show yet, but I'll surely find one, and I won't stop 'till I have it. I won't stop 'till I dig about the fucking dirt that they have been hiding for such a long time. "A hundred percent sure, Matias. And I want you to be the head of the investigation. And you should start it by investigating where the sniper stayed when it happened. We might be able to get some footages or clues in that place." Matias nodded stiffly. And just like that, I know he clearly understood that I want no failures for this investigation. "Keep this a secret, Matias. Th
Chapter 1: Cheaters "Why don't you rest and take a break, Dad? Like a serious break for days. I do think you that really need that at this moment." I said while looking at my Dad's tired and helpless face. I was sitting here in our living room, watching TV when he arrived, probably from his company. He doesn't have anywhere to go but in his company anywah. Our thriving company that he tried so hard on lifting up again after it fell straight into the mud years ago. Dad only looked at me with his lazy eyes, the eyes that are really identical to mine. "If you just agreed with the deal, then I won't be probably working my ass off 'till midnight." He scoffed. There was a bitter tone in his voice when he talked about the deal, that I will never agree with. It's just ridiculous. To be married with a stranger is a ridiculous thing for me. Well, it's not that I don't have any tiny idea about the man that my father arranged to me. I actually know him, and that's one of the reason why I will
Chapter 2: The Deal"W—Where's my Dad?" I asked one of our maids when she opened the door for me. It was already three in the morning when I finally got home after I left my cheater ex-boyfriend's unit. I didn't confronted them. I just left not so peacefully after recording their sex scene. Yes. I left not so peacefully because I scattered all the garbages back on the jerk's living room. I opened the faucet in his kitchen, and in the guest room. The unit was a mess when I left it, and would really love to see their reactions but no, I am not that martyr to still want to see them together after what I have just witnessed.I brought myself in a bar. It was bar for elites and yeah, I drank on my own, and that explained why I am a little tipsy right now. I am not drunk though, just tipsy. And my head is aching like shit. "He's...already sleeping, Miss—""Call him." I cut her off and dropped myself on the sofa. I massaged my aching head and sighed. "Fuck this. Fuck you, Hailey and Calvin
