Lucille looked at her room now, it has been days when she was discharged from the hospital after she took many exams to ensure that there is nothing wrong with .
And ever since that day, My mom and dad who was never around ever since I was baby was now staying at ho and taking care of .
I am not used for their attentions, I am used that it was just and my grandpa along with the maids and the butlers in the house.
"Are you really sure you’re okay?"
I looked at my mom who was now waiting for at the dining table with my dad to eat breakfast.
"Yes..."
I answered as I sit on the chair that has been my place for the past two decades.
We ate breakfast quietly that morning.
I don’t know but it feels really weird to have them around, they weren’t even there for when grandpa died.
When were driving to my school where I am taking my masters. It was weird because the driver is new and the atmosphere inside the car was new.
When we arrived at school everyone was looking at when I get off from the car.
"Look who’s back..."
I heard people whispering as they were looking at .
"She’s awake now?"
I heard a woman said as she’s looking at while she was raising her brows while she was crossing her arms.
I knew her, she was Jessie’s classmate.
Jessie...
It’s new that she wasn’t still here to welco with her most warm welco.
My family didn’t know what she had been doing to in this school.
In this place, I was the villain here...
I was an outcast, but so couldn’t touch and bully as they know that I won’t spare their companies, it’s just that there are many people who was playing along side with Jessie.
"How co she was here? Does she even had the guts to show her face here?"
I heard them again as I was walking and they seems to be following behind as I could still hear them.
"She didn’t even looked worried for her cousin, the rumors might be true that Lucille was just an adopted daughter who was jealous of Jessie."
I heard the other student said which made stopped from walking.
They gasped when they saw looking at their directions before they look away.
I sighed as I continued on walking, But I could still feel the other students whispering things.
What was even wrong with them?
I an they use to talk back on my back, but not it seems like that every corner of this school that I look or pass through there are so students who were looking at like I really did so murderous act.
When I reached my classroom the teacher and the few students who were there looked at my direction when I open the door.
The class went by and ti pass by, but I could feel that sothing was really wrong.
"Is there sothing I should know?"
I asked when I got ho that day.
My parents both looked at like they heard sothing wrong.
"Aren’t you gonna talk?"
I coldly asked as I sit on the huge sofa like a queen as I am.
"What do you an?"
Mom asked as she was even raising her right brow at .
While dad was busy reading so papers, that I know was related to the proposal that Mr. Robert passed three months ago.
I already reviewed the file yesterday and it seems like he was asking as to invest in his company which is on the verge of bankcruptcy.
I know Mr. Robert as he was once my grandpa’s friends that he trusted but since he retired and let his son took over the company it has ben losing a lot of money as his son loves playing cards and spending his money with his mistresses.
I also did also so background in his family. He was already sick and was in ICU and why could he even wrote a proposal?
It simple. It was not him, but instead his dumb son who wrote purging his signature and his writing.
"You should look at this one..."
Dad said as he handed the papers that was Mr. Roberts proposals.
"Do you want to sign it? It seems like Mr. Robert was back again on the track."
Dad said cluelessly.
Seriously, I know him he has so business and knew people in the corporate world and even knew Mr. Robert’s family personally, but shouldn’t he run so background check first and dig deeper if he can’t find anything?
"Mr. Robert is still at the hospital."
I said which made him look surprised.
"How did you know? and why didn’t I know about it?"
Dad asked as he looked at while frowning at .
"Didn’t you know?"
I asked as I frowned at him too how can he not know?
Seriously is it that was in coma for three months or them?
"We were too busy with your conditions to care for sothing like this."
He said as he sighed while he was still looking at , I don’t know if I am imagining things, but I see sothing warm on his eyes, which I never seen before.
"Just declined it."
I said as I sighed not wanting to argue as my head is spinning and I am starting to feel so pain from it.
I went to my room, and look for the dicine that the doctor gave if I feel pain in my head and drink it.

"Aki, wake up please."
I was walking in an unfamiliar place when suddenly I heard a voice said those words.
Who’s Aki?
"Wake up, please.."
"Who are you?"
I asked when I heard the sa voice said those words again.
I keep walking and walking but it seems like I wasn’t moving anywhere, I was still in one place was like no matter what I do I will always go back in this spot.
"Please, Aki..."
The voice was still begging for soone nad Aki, and I don’t know why I feel like I know that voice even though I haven’t heard it before.
I keep walking again to look for that voice when I finally see so light.
I was about to reach it out when-
"Luci"
I feel soone was shaking and when I opened my eyes, I saw the worried faces of my parents.
"Oh gosh, you scared us again for a second."
Mom said dramatically as she really look worried, while dad was sitting on the bed while looking at with those worried eyes again.
"What are you doing here?"
I asked, but for so reasons I don’t know why I was gasping for breathe like I jus ran for so long.
"We got worried when we asks one of our maids to knock on your door and said that you weren’t answering."
Mom said as she was looking at .
This is the first ti for how many years that I have a long conversation with my parents, back then when I am still young I used to beg for their attention which they didn’t even gave back then.
"We entered your room after we knocked for many tis and you’re not answering and we saw you mumbling so things." Dad said as he looked at again with those warm and tender eyes that I used to wished to see in his eyes whenever I asked them to stay with .
"I am fine.."
I said as I still feel uncomfortable with their attention.
"We’re sorry this afternoon, you asked us if there’s sothing wrong right?"
Dad suddenly changed the topic which made looked at him.
"It’s actually.."
"You should say it to her, Luke."
I looked at mom when she said those as dad seems to be having a hard ti telling what he was about to say.
"The accident that happened to you three months ago.."
Dad said as he look at while I was patiently waiting for him to continue.
"Jessie was the one who did it..."
He finally said, but I am not surprised.
It just that she was still my cousin that I am not voicing out that she had been constantly sending so death threats.
Does she even knew that her writings sucks that I could recognized it?
Out of respect to my aunt and uncle, I didn’t pay attention with threat as it was just an empty threats at first.
She even made the whole school believe that I was the adopted one and was trying to steal her position in the family when it was the opposite.
Uncle married her mother and adopted her as his daughter as he can’t have his own.
Everyone in the family accepted her.
But Jessie was still jealous because grandpa has been doting at , not that he didn’t care at her at all, it was that grandpa had told to understand Jessie as she had been through so much when she wasn’t still on her mother’s care, she was abused by her relatives physically.
That’s why when I was little, I was trying to understand her.
I tried befriending her as she was my only cousin, but Jessie always pushed , until I stopped trying just like what I did to my parents, I stopped trying getting closed to them.
I thought it was for the best...
But it gets worse and worse by the ti passed.
Her jealousy was eating her.
She was jealous of every achievent that I achieved.
And was even more jealous that my grandfather made as his heiress.
I looked at dad who was waiting for my reaction.
I open my mouth and-
