I don't care anymore about my traitorous aunts or even my uncle, as long as I know that I am running towards my father, who is now lying down and dying.
I went to the rescue car and held Daddy's hand, but he closed his eyes, and the other man stared at me.
"Don't say a word!" I ordered at the man who tried to talk to me. "Don't you dare talk." I threatened him because I didn't want to hear anything from his mouth.
My dad's skin was pale; I almost don't understand how many times I prayed that what I was thinking was wrong. After we arrived at the hospital, they quickly took Daddy to the ER.
But suddenly a doctor came out, and I looked in Daddy's room, and they were taking the clothes off his body.
"What's happening?" I almost tripped because I chased that doctor who came out. "Why don't you treat my father?" I was bawling while asking him. I couldn't accept how they let Daddy go. "Please, make him alive. I'm begging you, please." I slowly bent my knees and held his lab coat.
"I'm sorry, but he is dead before he even arrives. The poison was so strong that it spread to his blood." My world collapsed again. I yelled at the top of my lungs, never minding anyone who could hear me. I poured out all the anger I felt. I hate everyone.
"D-dad," I called him for the last time.

We buried him properly, and I also read his notes in the secret room that he told Raven. It was too late for us to discover; however, we saw a lot there. I don't know what to say because I've been dumb for three days and can't speak properly.
I even just looked at Hiro calling on me. I don't know, but I lost my appetite for everything. Hearing my dad's confessions made my heart ache because we should have made up; we would have talked deeply, but it faded. The two are still in the hospital, while Aunt Lucia is already in jail and suffering for her sin. I hired the best lawyer in the world to make sure they went to jail.
The evidence that I found in a secret room or Daddy's zigzag room near the stairs was excellent evidence. Everything was found out, their true mother and grandpa's will, confession and everything.
I gave to charities other treasures from my grandparents with Daddy's name on them. However, I took mine, especially since I need it for my kids. After I'm done here, I'm going back to my children; what happens is enough. I don't need to go back here because I have nothing to go back to. Unless, of course, we visit Daddy and my grandparents.
The house will still be stable; nothing will be lost. Knowing that my grandparents love their home is heartbreaking to see that it will be demolished. That's why I decided to let the butler take care of it here, who is not on the side of those three. Those who I knew as allies among the three have already left here.
The girl whom I thought was flirting with Raven was saved for some reason, and I have sent her out of there because I know the trauma she went through in this household. Well, not literally in the house, but to those people who fvcking ruined them, so as long as I could, I let them go.
"Everything's okay?" Raven asked me while he was busy putting our things in the back of his car. Not the limousine one, but his Toyota Corolla. I went to the passenger seat because, until now, I still didn't understand the environment.
He entered and put on his seatbelt. I was waiting for him to start the engine, but he didn't. He waited for me for at least a minute; he didn't move until he had decided that he would be the one to move. I was surprised when his face was close to mine.
What now? I hissed inside of me, and my brows furrowed since I was clueless, yet it was me who was at fault because of my seatbelt. I only realized that when I heard a sound, I suddenly became depressed and looked away.
How stupid are you, Cbiara? I want to be sucked by the soil because I can't handle my behavior.
I pretended I was sleeping the whole ride; he played a song, and even if I wanted to change the song, I just didn't do it. How come it was my type of song? I sucked my breath in my cheek, and I finally fell asleep after several attempts to sleep.
I felt the car stop, so I opened my eyes, yawned, and then covered my mouth. Seeing the traffic makes me sink in my seat. Damn, I thought we were at our destination. I kept yawning because of what happened. However, I shouldn't show my true feelings because what else might he think?
"You hungry? Do you want to eat or drink?"
"I want to drink water." My eyes are still on the road, damn it! How could I act like this? I shouldn't be acting this way, but there's nothing I can do because it's already here. I can't erase from my mind the fact that I will forever be awkward when approaching him.
He handed me something from the back of the car; he seemed to know that pineapple juice in a can is my favorite, so he went with it. I turned my head to see what things were there and to my surprise, I saw food there so suddenly I felt starving.
"Hmm." I turn my gaze at him; he lets out a simper and scratches at his nape. "You want? I bought that when you're sleeping in case you wake up and you're hungry."
"Can I have?" I can't pretend that I wasn't hungry anymore; my body can't do what I'm pretending to do anymore. "Just a little bit." I even gestured the word 'little' in my hand.
"Sure, if you want, eat that. I bought that for you," his husky voice replied. I didn't flake anymore and took the food. The light became green, and he said goodbye before moving slowly. "Just eat and be comfortable." He notified me, and I was fine with it. I even offered him, but he replied that he was done.
