. Audrey's.

Mother sudden death brings darkness to my family because father started to change his behavior abruptly. He started to have symptoms of depression and he's not the happy man that I used to know anymore. Lately, only scowl graces his face.

Although my brother's behavior didn't change, I didn't get to see him much lately. I know that he's working really hard and because of that, he did not have much time to spent with me. My brother is going to take over father's position cause he's the only heir. Father owns some multi-billion dollar company that is situated everywhere across the world. That's the reason I always was left behind. Both of them always gone for two or three months. It's because they have some business that they need to attend.

My family mansion that I used to call home cannot be called by that name anymore because the laughter and noises that always engulfed the house had slowly disappeared. Now, the massiveness and hugeness of the mansion slowly started to suffocate me because of its emptiness and coldness.

Not only my house feels empty but my heart also. There is not even a single family member that I can talk to and have some chit-chat when I get back from school and it hurts me so much. My house basically consists of maids, our butler, the driver, the gardener and the unlucky me.

The emptiness that I felt can be reduced a little bit by studying hard and be the perfect daughter that my father always wanted me to be. I wanted to help him reduced the pain in his heart caused by the loss of his loved ones, which is my mom. My grades will make my father proud of my achievements.

But, it seems that my achievements will never be good enough for him. He makes sure to push me to my limit every time. Besides education, my father also insists I joined the school's extra curriculums such as orchestra and other sports competition.

While I was so occupied by my busy schedule, I didn't have any time to mingle with any female students and hence, that led me to become friendless. Father always remind me that the heiress to his legacy does not need a friend much less make some. It because the person I called friend will only using me for my wealth. Of course I thought it was wrong to make that presumptions.

Having a true friend is a wonderful thing. Well, I did not get any friends much because I'm 'higher social status' at school. I was known as the only daughter and an heiress to Wilson Empire. All of them are too afraid to mingle with me because of my status. I didn't even care if they are poor than me or have a lower status than me. I just want to have some friends especially a best friend.

The emptiness and lonely that I felt were starting to develop day by day and I'm afraid one day, it will consume me whole.

The soft classical music is playing in the background while I'm preparing myself for my morning class. I sat in front of my vanity mirror staring at my face for a while. I look like a corpse. I started to put a little bit of makeup upon my face to cover the imperfection. After I finished, I continue to stare into space and wondering what my life is going to turn into today.

Suddenly, the sound of someone knocking on my door vibrated through my room. I take a glance at the reflection of the door in the mirror and ask the person to come in.

" Miss Audrey, the breakfast has been served. Mr. Wilson is joining today's breakfast. He has already been waiting for you. " said Mona, one of the maids in my house.

"Alright Mona, thank you for calling me. " I said while quickly hurried my pace to the dining hall. My father hates people who did not punctual on time and I really did not want to get scolded by him this morning.

When I arrived at the dining hall, I saw my father have already situated at the head of the table reading a newspaper. I quickly made my way to my seat which is situated on the left of him. That seat once belonged to my mother back in the days. When she's gone, it became mine. Although it hurt at first to sit on a chair that your loved once usually seated, It had to be done because when we leave that spot empty, it will only remind us of her.

"You're late." said my dad while folding his newspaper.

" I'm sorry. " I said while showing my guilty face.

He did not say anything after that and only gives me a hard stare. He gives a signal and the maids started to serve our food. When the food is already served, both of us started to dig our foods quietly. When my father had finished his food, he wipes his mouth using a napkin.

"I will be gone for 2 weeks because I have some meetings that I needed to attend at Scotland. While I'm gone, I don't want to hear any type of problems occurs especially from you. Understood?"

"Yes, father. Have.. a safe trip and please take care of your health."

My father does not reply anything as if he did not hear it and makes his way out of the room.

I was disappointed that father did not acknowledge me back. I eat quickly cause I did not want to be late for my classes today. I already finished my high school last year and know I'm furthering my studies at one of the top university in the world, Crawford University.

I'm taking Psychology Major at there and it was totally worth it. Although I already have a job which is my modeling career, I do need to prove that I'm not some beauty with no brain. I want to be like my mother who is known as an independent, intellectual woman while she was alive. I want to be like her because she's the one I look upon to when I was a little girl.

After having a breakfast, I make my way to the front door. I look around and spot my car which is a Lamborgini Aventador SV Coupe that came in white color. It's a gift from my brother for my birthday last year.

Although I was thankful for the gift, I actually did not want to use it because that car practically screams 'richness'. The other option is: asking Joe, our family driver to send me to college. Both of the options will only catch me a lot of attention and I don't want people to start making cheap rumors about me. Being "daddy's little girl" and "spoiled rich girl who thinks she owns the world." Well, talking trash about people doesn't bring you anywhere really.

Well, now I have to use it anyway. So I quickly get inside the car and put the key in the ignition. Once, the engine has already started, I start to drive my way to college.
