" Are you sure nothing is missing? Have you double check it? " The police officer asked me a second time. Like me, he was also confused. " Yes. I have checked everything. Nothing is missing. " I made another check with Mr. Walker just now. " All right then. But if in case you notice something missing after later , please let us know. We still have to look at the whole CCTV, this is for the safety of this entirely neighbourhood. " He proceed talking to me. Ethan was waiting outside my apartment with Mr. Walker. They didn't get a chance to greet just now since Ethan was being questioned by the police officer. From where I stood I saw they were talking and Mr. Walker's back facing me blocking Ethan's figure from my view.This was their second encounter after that night. Fortunately, this time they talked and greeted like normal people. Unlike the other time, staring and staring at each other.Whike I was intrigued by the police officer, they asked me to come to the police station tomo

" What do you mean? " I found his blue eyes and looked at him. Was the car accident planned by someone?" Philip was on his way to meet Camila that night. He was going to propose to Camila so I gave him a car for him to use. After a month of the incident we found out someone had damaged the brake system causing the car to lose control. " He paused and leaned back in his chair as his eyes looked ahead. After taking a deep breath he continued. " Whoever planned the accident, they tried to kill me. They expected me to drive the car instead of Philip. Every night after the incident I couldn’t sleep and had insomnia. I kept blaming myself. I made up for my mistakes and lived my life after I met Gabriella. " He took my hand and brought it to his lap while tilting his head slightly to the left as he looked at me. " The least I can do now is protect his family. " The pain pictured on his face was now replaced with happiness. " Now I have you. I don’t want the same thing to happen again. I c

Mom being silent for a momentary. Her jaw dropped." He's the one I saw in the magazine? That young CEO? That tall and good looking CEO? " " How? What? Why? He? " She looked at me asking for an answer. I gave her a drink as I saw she needed to calm down from this shock." It was actually an accident. We bumped into each other and my coffee splashed on his… coat. " She spat out half of the drink in her mouth as soon as she heard my last sentence." What? You what? " She asked in a high-pitched. Her eyes were round and widened looking at me in disbelief. " It was an accident, mom! " I said try to defend myself. And then I started telling her the whole story but I didn’t tell her about Alex and even Mr. Walker’s secrets. Her reaction was not as much as I thought. She gasped other than that she just listened without complaining." Are you happy? " Mother's first question after being silent for the past twenty minutes. I bit my lip I didn’t know how to answer it. I've never dated before

" You okay now? Are you feeling better?" Mom looking at me worriedly. I nodded after I felt better. I sat on the chair infront of the big mirror while mom sat beside me."Something has happened, hasn't it?" She asked me again. This time I did not respond. I stared at my feet. Gladly she didn’t force me to answer her. After a while, I looked at her before I asked her."Am I spoiling the mood?" I know how hard it is for the whole family to prepare for this gathering and I have ruined it at the last minute making mom unable to enjoy it with them. She shook his head before answering. "No. You don't! They must be asking about you but I know how to answer it. Beside I know you won't be able to pretend like nothing happened if you continue on being in there." as she flicked my hair from shoulder to the back.I thought it was time for me to be frank with him telling him what was really going on even though it wasn’t the right place to chat.After I gathered my courage, I opened my mouth. " S

Mom seemed pensive thinking of something. " Do you know them? " I asked my mom. Mom nodded her head. "They're very well known people like the Walker. But it's better if you don't know them at all. Hopefully they won't bother us again." Said mom then she stood up walking towards the sink with an empty plate.I know mom doesn’t want to talk about it anymore. Mom always had a hard time when talking about dad’s family as if she didn’t want to remember the dark parts of her memory. Are they really that cruel?I have had that doubt in myself since long ago even though I was a child. What if they are not as mom says? What if it was just a misunderstanding between them? Is it possible that one day they will have a good relationship again? Could I have met them before!I sighed. There’s no point in urging mom to talk about it if it just makes her struggle to remember those bad memories. I feel bad for her. I don't know what she went through but she is a strong woman.The conversation ended jus
