In utter confusion my heart started pounding like a wreck. Never in my life did I expect that the past that I always wanted to erase, will catch up to me. But here it is waiting as a mail in my mailbox , wanting to ruin my carefully built home.

It all started on a rainy day when a lot of police officers came barging into our home staining our place muddy.

"We have come to arrest you Mr. Chris" said the police officer.

I was shocked out of my mind. Why would they arrest my father, he was the best dad ever.

"Why would you arrest him? , what did he do wrong?", I asked them.

They sneered and said , "he murdered a lot of people brutally ,I would not go into the details, since you are a child. But trust me girl , they were too gruesome."

I still couldn't believe it and I looked at my dad, wanting him to deny it. But what, I came to see was complete silence. Not just that, I even saw him show a different face, full of excitement, as if he was proud of his work.

This hit me very hard, as my father was both my Mom and Dad, but now I feel like I have neither. Years passed and I found a way to treat my wounded heart and even met the love of my life, but now all I can see is a mail saying, "wait for me princess, your dad will never leave you. I'm coming for you."
