Chapter 7 : Unknown Call

( El POV.  )
I received an unknown call. I stare at it for a minute. I'm hesitating to answer it, but my mom suddenly spoke.
“ Maybe it's your father's lawyer. “ She said.
I looked at my mom once again, asking for permission that I should answer this call or not. I don't have a time to be pranked by someone or what.
She nodded her head and said.
“ Go on, Answer it, El. “ She said as she stood up from her sit and walk towards Ash Ron.
“ I'll take Ash Ron with me, were going to the canteen, so I can eat my dinner. “ My mom said, and Ash Ron didn't complain as my mother drag him with her.
I decided to answer the call. A man with a deep voice spoke from the another line and said.
“ Hi El Acosta, I'm Attorney Jonathan Villamor. Your father's personal attorney and I call to informed you about the will that your father wrote years ago. I'm aware that this day will come and this is the proper time for you to know that I will come over to the hospital with your father's daughters with me. As they are also in the will of testament. I'll be there after an hour from now. See you Ms." 
He stated before the ended the call.
I stop from my track and I don't know what to do. Why all of the sudden he called me to informed that shit. And those damn sisters, just like what my father said!
I sit down on the chair and think about the news I receive. I'm not happy that my father is in critical condition now either, meeting my stepsisters for the will testament. I'm so lost and empty, what should I need to do.
I can't help to get irritated and pull my hair because of anger that filled my heart. I attempt to calm down, but there's no news. I stop when I heard a conversation from the door on where my father was in.
“ Mr. Acosta couldn't make it. I examined the bullet, but there's a poison on it. It already spends inside his body make his immune system weak. Should we tell his family? His wife is outside waiting also her daughters will come so soon. “
A man while in a white coat said maybe his the doctor assigned and an assistant nurse inside whom he referred to talking inside the operating room. They forget to close the door that they leave it open that make me hear their conversation.
After that, I hear footsteps coming from my way. I thoughts it's my mother and Ash Ron but when I looked up on them. My anxiety waved at me. As I saw, a man walked towards my direction and a two young girl at his back. He has a serious face and his emerald eyes that reflecting into a cold stare. He must be the attorney.
“ Hi El, where's your mother? “ He asked me as he looked around, tying to find my mother presence.
“ She's in the canteen with my friend. “ I stated as I clear my throat and said.
“ You may take your leave. “ I said coldly not even minding my stepsisters reaction.
I saw the two young girl's reaction, they might be offended of what I said a while ago. I keep my chill and act rough like I was not a crying baby when I saw my father was get shot.
“ Stop being rude, Ms. El. Don't scare your sisters. You sound so evil. “ The attorney commented.
After his remark the door open and the doctor and nurse saw us outside of the operating room. The doctor walk towards me and said.
" I'm Doctor Wilson Delmarva. " He introduced his self and handed me his hand.
" Cut the crap , how is he  ? " I asked. The doctor become silent because of my response. He look so shocked and didn't expected it to come.
"I  don't care about your name . How's my father's condition ? " I asked again.
“ He's not stable. He lost a lot of blood and ---"
He wasn't able to finish his words when I said.
“ He got poisoned and he will die right. “
“ I'm aware that you are the one who call Mr. Villamor before you will tell us his condition, I'm I right? “
I said and stared at him.
He was about to explain when her nurse called him to go with her to check the other assigned patients they have. So, they left us without saying goodbye.
I looked on, Mr. attorney and said.
“ Come. “ I stated while I walk inside in my father's room.
I sit in the couch tap while my two-step sisters sit beside me. Not even saying a word.
The attorney clear his throat and start speaking.
“ We will start the meeting when your mother will arrive at El. “ He said and scanned his papers he was holding.
I inhaled and grab my phone to play games while waiting. I really hate this kind of gathering, still I'm thankful that the mistresses are not here at all.
A couple of minutes ***
The room was filled with silence, no one dare to talk when a loud sound from the door that revealed my Mom and Ash Ron walking towards my direction. I stand up from sitting and drag Ash Ron with me outside the room.
“ Let's go. “
I said and walk away, but before I can many to reach the entrance gate of the hospital he suddenly spoke.
“ You still have important to deal with. El, Why you're walking away? "
He asked me.
I stop from walking and looked at him.
" Do I ? "
I asked him.
He just nodded his head in response.
I don't have a choice but to go back. I exhausted and tired and want to sleep, but I have essential thing to deal with.
“ Yeah right. Thank you for coming over. "
I said as I kiss his cheeks and run back inside the room where my father was in.
When I enter the door, they all looked at me. I sit down beside my mom and speak.
“ Go on. Discuss it now. “ I commanded.
The attorney clear his throat once again and start discussing the will of testament.
“ The one who will manage the company is El Del Acosta, while Alexa Acosta the second daughter of Mr. Henderson Acosta will manage the Acosta Village when she turned 18 and Alexandra Acosta will manage the Resorts once she will turn 18 base on the will of testament that your father wrote.  You, El, have a responsible to guide your stepsisters on handling the business of your father.  They are still in minor age,, so you will be the one who will manage all the business that your father passed to each one of you. “
He explained.
“ El, you will be the next CEO of the company, but it doesn't mean that your stepsisters will not have a % of the company revenue, especially Alex and Alexandra's mother. “
He added.
“ What! It's unfair! “ I declared.
He didn't react but he continued to speak.
“ You will have 30% while your mother have 20% also both of your two-step sisters will have each 15% and Ms. Selena, Alexa, and Alexandra's mother will have the remaining 20%. “ He announced.
I heard Alexa laughed like she heard a joke while Alexandra is just looking down on her shoes.
Alexandra is different from her big sister Alexa because she is still 10 years old while her sister Alexa was 11 years old there are identical twins, with same brown hair and heart shaped face but they both have different personalities as I noticed.
“ Is that so? “ I exclaimed.
“ We deserve it, we're his daughter too.
We deserve his wealth too! “ Alexa shouted and get up from sitting.
“ Really? “
I replied and raise my eyebrows at her. I walk towards her and rashly grab her hands and whispered at her ear and said.
“ You deserve nothing and you're a trash, a big mistake that may dad committed. “ I said and saw her my mocking smile and left the room.
She started sobbing as she falls down on the floor and cry.
“ I will take everything from you. I swear! “
A 11 years old who is crying shouted at me.
I can say that she was brainwashed by her mother because of our wealth and maybe promise her something in exchange.
“ Don't be foolish, child. Dream on. “ I smirked at her before I looked at her from head to toe.
There's no point of arguing because she is talking none of sense but a piece of shit.
“ I am entitled to claimed what's mine. Because I'm the legal child. “ I said, and give her my sweetest smile.
" I won't let you replace me , in where I supposed to be. "
I added before I left them dumbfounded. I grab my phone from my pants and text Ash Ron .
For : Ash Ron ,
Let's go out. My treat!
Bring your car and pick me up at home.
I'll be waiting .
I sent it and wait for a grab taxi in the waiting shield beside the hospital.
-----
At Home **
I go upstairs and take a bath and pick black sando and match it when a short . I also wear shoes and lastly because it's cold outside I grab a jacket with me.
I saw Ash Ron wearing a white t-shirt and
jeans he also wear a black cup hiding his hair in beneath.

I decided to bring him to my favorite place at the gym's rooftop, where I always spend my time alone if I want some space.  I actually buy a cup of old coffee and a burger for us. We eat and bring up our lives. We get to know each other for a while, and he is really sweet and sometimes shy at me. I forgot the pain and hated that I felt.
“ You both look good together. “
I heard a voice.
I looked at the man who spoke. It's Ralph,
“ You're already here! Where's my chocolates! “ I exclaimed.
“ What? Did you tell me to bring? “
He asked me.
I was confused and frustrated at him. I hit his shoulder that create a loud sound make Ash Ron looked at us.
“ Hey. “ Ash, Ron stated.
“ Oh by the way Ralph. This is my friend. Ash Ron, Ash Ron, I want you to meet my boy best friend Ralph. He is a photographer. “ I declared.
Ash Ron handed his hand to Ralph and Ralph also accepted it. Ralph stared at me and raise his eyebrows and said.
“ Friends, huh? He teased me and run towards the door in the rooftop.
“ I WILL KILL YOU, GO BACK HERE! “ I shouted as I heard Ralph laughed echo all over the place.
Ash Ron in the other hand is just looking at me. I walk towards him and said.
“ What! “ I uttered.
“ When you needed someone, I'm always been there. Always remember that. “ He said as he kissed my forehead that make me smile.
“ I will, of course! “
I replied and run towards downstairs.
He followed me and chase me while I did my best to run fast, so I won't get catch.
“ HEY BE CAREFUL! “
He shouted as he chased me.
I just laughed and run towards the car when I was about to step in the last stairs when my shoes slip make me lost my balance.
But before I found myself in the floor I was stunned that Ash Ron manage to catch me, and he fall with me in the floor. We both laugh because of the embarrassment, the people who passing by are stop from walking and stare at us.
“ Don't run to fast, so I can catch you.
“ Ash Ron said.
“ I will run, so you won't be able to catch me. “ I replied as I stand up from floor.
I lead him my hand and he accepted it. He's response made my heart skip a beat as he said.
“ I will catch you if you fall. “
“ Your clumsy. " He added.
I can't help to pout and walk away from him. Yah I'm not that clumsy, it's just a coincidence that I fall from the stairs.
He dropped me home, and I wave my hand to him. He smiled at me and drive towards his house.
I lock the door and walk towards my room. I put my phone and wallet at the study table and jump into my bed and close my eyes because of tired I felt I fall a sleep without a minute.
