Tangled Love

Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Decision to Live

A/N:

Hey guys! Sorry for the long wait! I was really torn between giving away Andrew's POV or continuing as I originally planned. I already drafted Andrew's but I continued as planned.

I know you would like to know what really happened to Andrew and why he did what he has to do. I know you don't want to hate me and I don't want that too. But where's the fun in that? I want to play the mystery game a bit more and I hope you won't hate me for that. **pout**

Not Edited.

Enjoy!

A year ago, I told my parents everything that happened since my dad's coma and my mom's breakdown. I told them everything from Nathan's reasons to Jordan Smith's execution of that so called revenge. I told them about Andrew and his connection with Tracy Smith as well as Nathan's relationship with Stacy and her relationship to the the latter girl. I don't really know if those information were counted as necessary but I just can't leave even a single detail behind. I was cautious though. I don't want my parents to fall ill or have a heart attack or anything. I don't want to lose them. Not again.

I sighed as I fish my phone from my pants pocket as it vibrates. It's been a year and all they wanted is for me to be out of the mess. My father, who we all think has still not been fully recovered, stubbornly took over the management of the Empire again. Not that I'm complaining though.

Dad came to me that one night-- when I was a mess of a human with no direction in life-- that even if I am doing great in managing our businesses, he still wants me to take one step at a time before he hand it over to me completely.

I understand him and he perfectly knows that is exactly what I want. Starting from the bottom and learn every thing about my parents legacy through firsthand experience would be all worth it. I want to do it to remind myself how important it is for me to treasure. Not to mention my then ripped heart and soul.

"Yes, hello? Kiara here." I answered the call absentmindedly not looking at the name flashing on the screen. I am currently walking to my parking space. Dad told me to go be a normal person and be a normal college student rather than having private lessons at home. I agreed. I am now taking up Bachelor of Science in Business Administration Major in Financial Management in Brownwood University in Clow Reed. Same school with my best friend Piwie.

I still want to feel normal. I don't want much attention to myself just like the old times but my life is anything but normal now. Well, if the new meaning of 'normal' is having paparazzi tailing you everywhere you go, taking pictures and posting it either online or tabloids then I guess I can say I have a normal life. [insert sarcasm here].

My life really took its own kind of backflips a year ago and the media didn't seem to get enough of me, even if I'm practically oceans away from home. I'm just glad that I have my two best friends tagging along with me. And one hitchhiker who happens to be Stacy. Much to my dismay and to Nathan's own privilege.

"Hey Pumpkin! You going to Uni now?" I rolled my eyes. Speaking of the devil. I hop in my black Audi r8. It is my new baby. Though I am not into cars just like most girls, I fell in love with it the first time I laid my eyes on it.

It has an explicit features and it suits my taste. Something that my Dad knows very well so he bought it to get me to agree of him going back to work. I shook my head and smile to myself as I remember the day he gave my baby Sexy to me as a bribe. That was like six month ago. He was giving his best shot for me to sign some legal documents turning back the authority to him. Oh, Sexy is my car of course. Weird? I want it weird.
