After yesterday's night, every question in my head is answered already. But there is one thing I'm still curious about. I forgot to ask it from my dad. I'm only in the house for today. I didn't want to go to a club or in my office in the company. I'm just sitting, looking outside my window, thinking for what activities should I do. I want to avoid disturbing my mom, who is still sleeping. I decided to go in our backyard garden and stay there for good.
When I step out of our house, the cold wind embrace me. The neighborhood was filled of silence, kind of a ghost town it because it's still 4 in the morning. Probably people are still asleep. I can't sleep because of what happened. What I've discovery, especially the truth for a long time that I grow believing those lies. I'm thinking on how to tell my mom about the thing I discover. She is still in moving forward because she thought she lost his lover.  I walk towards the cottage in our backyard garden. I'm still wearing a white lace dress and I also wear a jacket above it. I exhale and looked at the view. The flowers are dancing because of the wind.  A beautiful scenery I witnessed.
I exhale and inhale. Thinking what to say or how to start the conversation without making my mom break down because of the revelation. I don't know to do anymore. I even forgot to ask my father to come over, so he could help me explain everything to my mom.
Around 5 : 10 in the morning, I decided to enter the house and wake my mother.
I already cook our breakfast. Four beacons and eggs also I make an omelette and two glasses of milk. I walked towards my mother's room. Every take I step, I can feel my heart increase its beat. When I was In front of my mother's room, I saw it slightly open, and I heard her crying again. I took a deep breath and open and walked inside. I've endeavored to be jolly and put a smiled on my face.
“ GoodMorning Ma, breakfast is ready! “
I said and kiss her cheeks. Because of what I did, she cried so hard.
“ Ma, stop crying. I have good news. “ I uttered those words, then I saw she didn't look at me or react to what I said.
Each of the days has passed, it's getting harder for me to help my mom to be back on herself. Day by day I feel so helpless and hopeless, but I might not give up. She'll be fine again, I know that.
“ Mama, come, I made your favorite desert! And also I buy you a new apron and ingredients and grocery. And there's something more. I buy you to a pair of new dress! Mama, let's go, let's check it out! “ I said with a smile on my face.
But none of them are effective. I can't take this anymore. I need my dad now.
I dialed my father's number within the first ring, he answered.
“ Dad, I require you. “ I whispered and my voice broke.
I saw my mom looked at me confused. She stopped from crying and stand up. She raised her finger and point at me. I was shocked by her sudden attitude, but it shocked me the most when she slap me so hard. I can feel my cheeks hurts a lot, and it becomes color red in instant. She's losing her mind. This is not my loveable and caring mom I have.
“ Your dad is dead, and it's because of you! You killed him!  I'll tell you to talk to him, but what have you done? You close the door, then he got shot by the person who has been following him! “ She shouted angrily.
I face soften because of her statement. I can't hold my tears anymore, and it flows like a river. Furthermore, I looked down because I can't look at my mom. She's out of control and I feel guilty about what happened.
“ Mom, I'm sorry. “ I uttered those words.
But before she could react. I saw my dad running towards me as he leaded his hands. I accepted it and without saying a word I run towards my room and locked the door.
I pack my things and grab my important papers from passport, visa and more. I dailed Ralph number and said as I'm leaving the house.
“ Buy me a condo. I'll be staying in there, promptly, I'm coming over. Text me the hotel name and info. “ I said and end up the call.
I receive after minutes from Ralph about the condo, and its location. I full speed my car and didn't mind if I break driver's rules and regulations. I don't care, I just want to be alone and away from everything. When I was In front of our gate, I looked back and said.
“ Bye for now. “ I whispered in the air.
My tears didn't stop from falling while driving. My heart is aching, and I'm catching my breath. When I arrive in the parking lot. I went out with my things as Ralph saw me, he is shocked, especially seeing me cry. He didn't say a word but grab my bags. I went inside his hotel and walk towards my private room. When I arrive at my room door, I press my thumb into the scanner. After the plain scanner turned green, the door automatically open its own. I can feel Ralph followed me from behind, then he closed the door. I sat down in the couch and cry. Ralph walked towards me and hug me.
“ I don't know what to do anymore.” I said and cry out loud.
“ What happened? “ He asked.
Worried are written on his face.
“ My mom is out of control, she's losing her mind. “ I whispered as I wipe my tears away.
“ Is she the one who slap you? “ He asked again.
I nodded my head in response.
He held my hand and said.
“ Don't worry, El. Your mom will be fine again. Everything will be okay. “ He said, and kiss my forehead and stand up as he walked towards the door.
“ I hope so, I prefer not to lose my mom forever. “ I uttered.
I'm confused right now, I don't know how to deal with my mother. Even if I left her alone at our house. My dad was there to tell him the news.
I smiled and follow him as I locked the door, and after I enter my room and did everything I could just to fall asleep. I hope I have a good day for tomorrow.
Next Morning**
This is my first time living alone, I didn't use to it. It feels so lonely, but thankfully Ralph is in his living room beside mine. He didn't say told me about what happened. Maybe dad called him and ask him where I am.
I wake up around 11:30 in the morning. I stand up from the bed and entered the bathroom. I saw myself at mirror, puffy eyes, black eye bags, red checks it's still hurt and slightly red. Not only that, but I took a deep breath and open the shower to take a bath. I've attempting to forget what happened last night.  I grab a casual attire and wear a black stiletto, I put a red lipstick on my lips and grab my bag where my car keys, IDs, credit cards are inside. Furthermore, I look at the time in my watch, and it's still 7:05 in the morning, and I encounter some employees roaming around the hallway if the hotel. I decided to text Ralph.
To : Ralph (BFF)
I'm on my way to the company. I'll drop off on your room later on.
7:11 SMS
Then after I eat my beacon and fried rice and my omelette too. Before I left my room and went to my car in the parking lot in the hotel. After a minute of drive, I arrive in my company. Some employees greet or smiled at me when I walked through them. I smiled in response and went to the elevator.
I decided to buy a coffee before I went here. I was about to open my office door when my phone vibrates as it received a message.
I open and stare at the name on it.
It's from Ash Ron, I type my password and view the message.
From : Ash Ron
Morning El! How are you? Your mom told me that you left home?
My phone vibrates again as I received another text.
From : Ash Ron
Where are you staying right now?
Can I come over?
I type my reply and sent it to him.
I'm okay, sure you can come over.
7:25 SMS
I can't help but to smile and open the door. As I entered my office, I heard a footstep from the hallway towards my office direction. A lady who wear a white top and black skirt appeared on my sight. She smiled at me and bow her head and said.
“ Ms. El,
the guard give me this letter.
It was for you. “ She said and handed me the letter.
It's like I received in other day but didn't care about the message inside it. I nodded my head and accept the letter. She bow again and left the room. When I'm In front on my desk. I open the second drawer and put the letter there. I on the laptop and continue reading those notes, reports about the company.
As a new CEO even if I hate studying, I really need to study everything.—El Del Acosta
The girl who give me the letter is Venice Zucchini, the secretary of my father, but she is in the first floor and her small office is located in there.  I was informed that how strict my father is when it comes to the business and especially the unwanted or unannounced visitors that will come so sudden. He is workaholic as Venice said. I was amazed of the braveness of Venice because she manages to stay in her position for 10 years already, and then she will be going to be working with me too, a loyal one. 
I can't help to feel exhausted by just reading a notes or reports in the laptop. I write a note for myself and stick it beside the laptop screen, it's a note that I should eat during lunchtime and remind myself that never skip a meal because of busyness.
I hold my temple because my head started to ache. I'm tired, but I need to first reading some papers, at least more than 5. I look at my phone again. Its getting late to eat lunch. I will be attempted to focus on the papers I've read when the dragon on my stomach started to roar and get wild. I grab my phone and went out of the office to buy a meal, so I can eat already.
I look at my phone and exhale, my work as a CEO of the company is still not started. I'm just reading, such papers because it related to business,, but I don't have a choice. I walk outside the building and people are staring at me. Some are whispering about me,, but I don't care. I walked away and go to the nearest restaurant, a walking distance away from the company.

“ Hi Madam, what is your order? “ A man who is wearing a witness walk towards me.
“ One coffee and lunch meal set , please. “ I said and smiled at him.
He smiled back, and his eyes disappeared because of it. I was stunned by the handsomeness of that man when a girl suddenly dumped into my table and the juice she is holding, an unfortunate mishap my dress already filled with juice. I was shocked because of it. The girls who wear a uniform, a college student, become hysterical because of what happened. She attempted to wipe my dress with her hand when the manager of the restaurant suddenly approach us.
“ I'm sorry, Miss. I will buy you a dress. “ She said as she looked at her shoes.
I exhale and said,
“ No it's fine, don't worry my house is not far from here. No, thanks.” I replied, as I lied on that part.
She handed me her hands and said.
“ I'm Zyrn Ramirez, I'm sorry for ruining your dress. “
“ Here's my number if you need anything, feel free to contact me. “ She added.
I smiled at her and accept the paper with her number. I asked her before she could manage to walk away.
“ Did you skip your school? I asked.
“ Nope, I'm here because my professor ask me to buy her a lunch. “ She added.
She always looked down on her shoes, a signed that she is a a shy person.
I cleared my throat as I walk away. I would like to eat pizza, but I'm too lazy to go and buy, so I decided to call personal secretary Venice to buy me a pizza, so I could have a snack after doing my work which is reading some papers.
I also asked her to buy a dress for me, so I can change already, I feel so dirty and sticky.
I walked back towards the building and enter by scanning my identification ID then go the elevator and entered.
I saw a man who wears a business attire with her secretary beside her.  Unexpectedly the woman who is secretary suddenly drop her papers in the floor, so I decided to help her by picking some papers that reach my spot here I was standing. She smiled at me and said.
“ Thank you, Miss. “ She smiled as I handed the papers to her.
When the elevator reach 10th door where my office is located, the two person who is with me also walked out in the elevator that make me confused.
I didn't mind it and walk towards my office, before I could manage to enter the room the man who was with the girl suddenly having an emergency call to answer. They both stop and focus on the conversation that the man having to the person in the other call. I didn't mind it and enter the office and sit on my chair.
I looked at the place once again. The name in curve in the plate (CEO El Del Acosta—Acosta Group of Company Inc.)
There a lot of happening during this day I feel so exhausted. I want to have spa right now because I'm so stress , I need to relax my self.
