CEO's aloof Lover

Chapter 7

I looked at my side mirror and CEO true to his words. His car tag along to my car. A evil idea run in my head. I start to step on the accelerator and drive fast.

After 5 minutes I'm in front of my apartment. A wide smile painted in my face. I walk inside while humming. I can't believe I did that to my boss. Well, he started it.

I took my shower before I go to my bed. It's been a tiring day today. I closed my eyes to catch up my sleep. Suddenly my phone ring.

"Hello?" I answered to unfamiliar number.

"Lula, it's me, son. Your father."

"I'm sorry, but I think you're mistaken sir. I don't have father anymore."

"Lula, please I want to talk you. I want to see you. I missed you my son."

"Im sorry, you have a wrong number sir." I said and ended up the call.

After a long time, the anger build up again. No doubt, that's my father voice. The thing is, I don't want to acknowledge him again after he abandoned us and my mom died. He's the reason why my mom and I suffered a lot.

We have a happy family before. Contented living a peaceful life. Dad work hard for us. Mom is a loving wife to my dad. Until one day I went home from grade school, I heard them arguing to something. Mom is so angry and dad keep on apologizing.

I thought is just a simple argument of a husband and wife. But from that day dad left our house and mom get sick from not eating.

From my young age, I learn to work at the market while doing my studies. It's hard but I overcome it until I finished my middle school. Dad didn't come back until then.

When mom got well she started to find a job to sustain our other needs. Things get better for us until a group of people went to our house and asking for my father. Mom told them that my father abandoned us long time ago. But they didn't believe it, instead they begin to hit my mom in front of me. One of them said my father took a big money from them and they want the money back.

A month after, when I thought everything is fine now. I went home early from school to celebrate my mom's birthday that day. I bought her a cupcake from my school canteen and a cheap meal for us to eat. Im so excited when I entered our house.

"Mom! I'm already here..."

I got surprised when I saw how messy the house inside.

"Mom? Where are you?" I asking while looking for her.

I saw her inside our room. She's laying in the floor naked. Blood painted all over her body. I'm too shocked to move toward her. My body shaking and my knees trembling in fear.

From that day, I told myself to be brave and never ever trusted anyone.

After I buried my mom. I decided to abandon everything. Someone help me to sell our house. The money from it, I used it to move on to the city. From the city I learned to live my life alone.

When I found a stable job I continue my studies. In my graduation, although I'm one of the best student, it useless because my mom is not there to see my achievement.

After a year, a colleague told me to submit my resume in DK Brewery. And I'm lucky to get in.
