AYNE'S POV
After my dad left the room, Mat sat beside me and gently caressed my back.
"Do you know about this?" I asked him.
"No! All I know is his birthday celebration." he answered. "What's your plan now?"
"What do you mean?" I faced him as i wrinkled my forehead
"You know that dad doesn't know your ability. Once you get married, everything will be exposed. Knowing that you will turn into a public figure. Mom told us that we need to keep this a secret because it can be used against us."
I sighed. "All I can think about is leaving this life."
"I can help you with that" I looked at him, shocked, "but living in the outside world differs here. Just my warning. You can meet many people that can worsen your headaches and might know your ability, unexpectedly." he added.
"I don't care. I don't want to marry someone I don't even know."
"If that's what you want. I will let you borrow my condo." while giving me this note of address written on a yellow piece of paper. "This condo is for myself so please take care of it." he slightly beggingly said.
I smirked. "How come you bought a condo, brother?"
"I need my own space, sister." and stands up. "We have 1 week to prepare. Dad will go overseas for business at the end of this week."
I smirked again and just laughed it off briefly. My father is not that strict about where I will go because all he knows I go either to the library, to the sites I'm working on, or at my mother's grave.
I guess this plan is the best way to tell my dad, I am not agreeing to this arrangement. Leaving as soon as possible is the answer because if I don't, I might live like what my mother experienced, being in a dark corner, no one can breathe, no source of happiness.
~ ^-^ ~
It's been 1 week since the announcement of my father rumbled my sanity and quiet life. My father and I haven't talked for a while since he is busy, as always. I am already prepared for leaving. I brought only a backpack that had my necessities, to ease my father's suspicions. My brother gave his car key. He gave one of his cars, a black SUV, which I opt to not to receive but he insisted. Because if I don't take it, I'll be having problems commuting, which is clearly true.
I was in my study room when suddenly Mat silently came in.
"Sister."
"Why?" and faced him.
"Only six months, huh." sounds asking for confirmation,, "I can't bear dad's mouth once you leave the house." he said, complaining.
"You are the ones who suggested–"
"I know. Excuse me, I'm holding the burden of responsibility here." he said while crossing arms.
I just laughed.
"Just be careful, huh." he sounded worried.
"Yes, brother. You already know the address where I will stay, you can visit, duh."
"Duh," he imitated how I said it which made me laugh, "Dad can watch my actions. Everyone here is loyal to him." he sarcastically added.
"By the way, just send the paper works through the email address I gave you." I cutted.
"Oh, about that, a delay in one of the on-going projects may happen, your secretary told me."
"Why?" I seriously asked.
"The owner hasn't yet paid the 2nd phase downpayment. Some of the needed materials have not yet been purchased." he said worriedly.
"Percentage?" I seriously asked.
"Estimated about 30-35% of the construction."
"Then, let's first give the owner notice and wait for 5 days." I calmly said.
"I already told that." he smilingly said, "I already know the answer." he proudly added.
I have my own construction firm that just started 4 years ago, thus, my influence as a daughter of a famous businessman made my company known for some. Also, my brother knows how to answer these kinds of scenarios because he has been with me ever since this business started. Although he is taking anesthesiology, he is quite knowledgeable in the construction industry.
I just smirked as an answer and went outside the study room about to get ready to face the outside world, the world that I didn't face because of fear....
...afraid of...
...seeing the past...
...again...
