Chapter 1

A girl named Kayla was sitting up in bed, crying and lost in contemplation. Her mother, Naomi, had recently passed away in an automobile accident with her father, Mark, who happened to be Kayla's grandfather.

Noami was an heir of the Liam's family, they were one of the most popular billionaire families in the states.

It's already a week since it happened but it still felt unreal, Kayla couldn't bring herself to believe that her mom whom she took photos of when she was about to leave that day, and her mum who kissed her Dad in front of her before leaving was Dead.

She didn't know how her Dad was going to cope with that, ever since it happened he now locked himself up in the room, it was not going to be easy with him because if he was anything anyone could boast of Noami made him.

She was a good mother and a loving wife, she never joked with her family, and she always put them first.

Kayla gets up, she heads to her father's room to ask him what he will have for breakfast.

She lets out a deep breath and knocks, "Dad, what should I prepare for you before I leave for work?"

There was silence, "Dad" she yells from the other side of the door.

"Dad I said what would you have for breakfast…" she didn't finish her statement before her father cut her in "I'm not hungry, go to work" her Father replied in a loud and harsh tone.

His voice frightened Kayla, and it also made her feel bad she turned and walked to her room with her head bent facing the floor, and with a frown.

She wanted to dress up for work and then she went to the kitchen and prepared food for her Dad, she didn't have an appetite either.

She made him some pasta and dropped it in the dining room, if he came out and saw the food he would eat if he was hungry.

She went back to prepare for work and left, she didn't have breakfast either.


"Good morning, Miss Kayla Thomas, I was told not to let you in," the security said to Kayla using his right hand to halt her from taking another step inside the building.

On hearing that Kayla frowned and looked at the security.

"What are you saying?" Kayla asked the security with rising anger on her face.

"The Liam's family gave an order that you shouldn't be allowed to enter this property, and if you enter I'll also lose my job,"

Even while he was talking it was clear he still respected Kayla but he was following orders.

confusion grew on Kayla's face, "if they wanted to fire me at least they should have done it a better way, but this is really embarrassing,"

He brought out a letter and handed it to Kayla, " they said I give you this," Kayla collected the letter but her eyes were fixed on the security guy.

She read the letter and scoffed.

"They fired me? Why wouldn't they even let me enter the office at least" Kayla said in her mind.

She became speechless. The security guard isn't even the person she should be talking to right now.

She thought of pushing herself in but she wasn't in the right state for drama at the moment.

"Can you just let me talk to the manager or someone, I need to understand what's going on,"

"I'm sorry ma'am I would have done that but I will lose my job if I do,"

Kayla was pained and confused.

"What's going on," she said to herself.

She took steps back and left the place.

She brought out her phone from her pocket, unlocked it and mistakenly tapped her email when she saw that she had already received a message from the manager earlier about her being fired from the company but she didn't read it or see it either.

She started wondering why she was being fired, "did I do anything wrong?" She wondered.

Confusion and pain had already engulfed her.

She walked into the house and sat on the sofa, she dropped her bag and thought of what to do.

She called the manager and she found out he had blocked her.

"Seriously?"

She scoffed, tears were raging in her eyes.

She walked up to the dining room and she found out her father had not eaten the food, the food had not been touched or turned.

She shook her head, "This man wants to join his wife". She took the food and headed to her parent's room.

She shook off the experience she had earlier out of her head and eased her mind by rubbing her chest.

"Dad you haven't eaten your food? Please you have to eat so you don't get sick please,"

Silence

"Dad"

"Daddy," she stressed.

She didn't know what to expect.

She brought the food to her left side and used her right hand to push the door.

It opened, she looked through the door and saw her father lying on the floor.

Immediately she saw him she was shocked and she didn't know when the food fell from her hands.

She rushed to where he lay on the floor.

She touched his body saying "Dad, are you alright?" He wasn't responding.

She shouted and she was calling out for help, "Somebody help"

She pulled him out of the room and called the ambulance.


Kayla sat on the waiting chair, thoughtful about all that had been going on recently in her life, tears ran down her eyes and dropped on the floor. She hasn't recovered from the death of her mom, she couldn't stand losing her Dad too.

That will be hard, coupled with the fact that she just lost her job for no accountable reason, she kept wondering what was going on in her life and then she remembered her elder sister Daisy.

She brought out her phone so she could call her sister.

She brought out her phone and called her sister she didn't pick up on the first ring, she called her again and she finally picked up.

"Hey sis"

"Baby sis, how are you?"

"I'm at the hospital"

"What's wrong?"

"It's Dad" and then she had a loud masculine voice say to her sister "Why aren't you ready to leave yet?"

And her sister paused the call.
