Erica:The series of secret

Chapter 2: Life Changing Decision

Erica's pov

After one week of collage I was sleeping peacefully

Suddenly mom was calling me.

"Erica wake up, it is 10:30am" Her mom called her.

"Mom, you know it's Sunday! Let me sleep, please" Erica said. Why is she calling me this early I thought

"I need to talk to you about an important thing" Her mom said. What is it? Omg she sounds serious I jumped out of the bed

"What is it mom " I asked but she just sighed and sat on the bed with a sad face

I was sure of one think that something is definitely wrong and I need to figure it out.

"What happened? Why r u so tensed? Anything serious? Is he following us? Now where will we go? Mom I am asking u". please tell me I was almost about to cry due to fear.

"Cool Erica, give me some space to answer your questions, nothing of that sort happened. It's another matter." My mom said

"Thank god" I was relived he was not following us. Wait did she say another matter. Oh god what is the next problem that we have to face now?

"Mom tell me what is it? "I asked curiously

Mom sighed and replied, "Erica, you know we are a billionaire family. So, we can't leave our business. It's your father's hard work and it is the lives of millions. If we back off our new project the investor's should be given compensation. So I thought to take over our business."

I was just nodding my head in understanding and I was happy that she was going to take my father's business. So, his hard work won't go waste. But something is in her mind, I can feel something bad she is going to tell.

"Mom actually I am happy about you taking over dad business as my dad dream and hard work don't go waste. "I said with a smile on my face

"Mmm......" she sighed

Now I can tell what is says next is not good for me.

"So to look after the office I have to go back to Australia and I have to stay there." Alex will be too coming with me as his vacation is going to be over. So you have to stay hear alone." she said with a sigh

"what" I shouted." ok, don't joke like this mom, it's not funny" I said with full shock trying to believe it was just a joke.

It's not a joke Erica, u have to stay here " mom said

"What! No way mom, no way! How can you even think about it mom I can't stay here alone."

"I know u would react like this but think about your dad, his hard work you can't lose it too. You know how your father worked hard to bring our business this far and the lives of the workers which rely on our company. Now it's your decision, should I go or stay with u leaving all the business, tell me dear." Sophia said

"Ok, mom u can go because I don't want my father's hard work to go waste and to ruin our workers lives. But what if he comes again what would I do alone mom "Erica said with no other way left, she know her mom would leave everything if she told her to do so but she had no choice but to accept it for her dad

Her mom hugged her she hugged her back

"Erica don't worry I would arrange everything, first of all u can't stay alone in this mansion. so I bought an apartment for you so in future you could stay with your friends. But one condition they should not know you are a billionaire and I had appointed a bodyguard for you." her mom said

"Mom I don't want this security behind me always. I know they are for safety but I hate it mom" Erica said

Sophia smiled and said " I Know u hate security so I told them just to track u and help u when there is a need so don't worry they won't follow u. publically. "

"You understand me really very well and I love you mom" by saying this I hugged her

"I love you too Erica" she said and kissed my forehead
