My whole fucking existence has been a disaster. From the time i have been born , my life was nothing but tragic and I hate my life.

The only thing I have been doing in my last seven years was working. Right now I am an established businessman and a billionaire.

I never wanted any of this . I always wanted to settle down in my 20's with a wife and children and lead a happy and peaceful life.

But currently the only thing in my life as compared to a canvas was the four walls of my office . Everything started due to the one and only person my father William Black.

William Black was the owner of Black industries , one of the most successful businessman but not the best. His major competition and the topmost company in the whole country was Sword industries aka my company.

My whole life right now was based on the revenge against my father.

Right now I am sitting in my office staring at the black walls . I never liked black colour , I always leaned towards lilac or pastels. But now nothing mattered to me.

"Happy birthday love of my life " A voice screamed snapping me from my self destructing thoughts. The voice belonged to Caden, the only person I could tolerate but not at this point.

" Not now Caden ".

"Oh, is my Grumpy birthday boy having a bad day . What happened ?"

"William called , he said he wanted me to attend the dinner with the family to celebrate my birthday. How dare he call me to play a happy family after he killed my mother " I mumbled under my breath and clenching my fist.

" Yeah, your sperm donor is a shithead. Anyway did it reach ? ". As soon as he completed the sentence the door of my office was opened, followed my assistant carrying a shit load of things aka gifts from my office coworkers.

How should I tell them all the things they sent me is taken by Caden .

Caden started making weird dance moves and then diving into the sack . "It should be here , somewhere. God where is it ? Yesss I got it".

It was the letter he was looking for. The letter which was cladded in lilac coloured paper.

The letters started arriving four years before on my birthdays. I never looked at the gifts or romantic/friendly letters and birthday cards but when i saw the distinct coloured letter , something started burning inside me.

My brain as always said not to but on that particular moment my heart took control of my mind and I opened it. The letter was one of the most simplest thing i have ever read. Nothing romantic but so many random things .

" What if this person is a girl. Look she wrote about feminism and also taylor swift ,plus jane austen. Wait she called you a turd for firing Timothy . Now I am pretty sure she is some badass women." Caden was now laughing by holding his stomach.

Timothee was the CFO's assistant in the finance department . I had to fire him because he was a pig , he was laughing all through the meeting and at last he called me Mr.Black. I lost everything in me when he associated me with my father.

" Have you noticed her writing style. The way she wrote the ' I ' is in some kind of peculiar way. The cursives are making me fall for her "I glared at him for his words.

"okay don't look at me like that she is all yours".

The waves from sea was meeting the shore as if it was making sure that it was still there to receive him. There was no assurance about anything in this life except for death.

Right now I was sitting with my baby sister at the beach because she wanted to count the waves and also chase them.

Charlotte was the only person who made me realise that I have someone who i have to live for. Charlotte was my step sister and she was only seven.

"How was your birthday , Romie . Did you miss me today ?" She looked at me with her adorable electric blue eyes the only thing that was common between us.

" My birthday is at its highest peak of celebratory level right now. Yes angel , i missed you in every second".

She chuckled at me with her mouth full of vanilla ice-cream.

"So how was your school today and did anyone hurt you? If they have give me their names ".

" No brother, everything was fine. My kind of friend told me that my mom is a cheater and she destroyed a family. What does that even mean ?".

At this point everything was getting ridiculous . I wanted to tell her about the disasters that took place in our family . But she was only 7 years old and she is too innocent to bear the wrongings of grown ups.

" Tell me her name char and I will talk to your teacher about it ". She nodded her head , thankfully not asking anymore about it and enjoying her ice-cream.

" You know Dad talked to me today. He asked me whether I had my breakfast ". She told me in her excited tone .

"hmm..From one to ten , rate our dad ". I asked hoping that he was giving her the love and care she needed.

" Obviously not ten because he is not the best . Maybe 5 , I know he cares about me but he is not like other dad's I have seen . He is just different in his own way . But he doesn't beat me or scold me , so I think that's one kind of benefit.Besides I don't care about it because I have you. I love you Romie and you deserve the world". She said by looking at me with her teary eyes.

"I love you Char and I am always here for you " I said gently pressing a kiss onto her forehead and holding her by my side.
