Layers of Insecurities

Chapter 11

the next day....

i am on my way to my first class when my phone started ringing, i looked at the caller ID and saw that it is my mom, hmm weird mom never calls me on school hour.

"Hello mom?" as soon i picked up my phone " Tulip you have to come to the hospital now.... y...yo...your dad he had a heart attack" before i knew it i was bolting out of the school, i called a cab and immediately go to the hospital.

i rushed in the hospital only to find everyone there waiting and crying, even my brothers were crying and they never did. tears were streaming down my face as i went and hugged my mom, after 15 minutes the doctor came out and we all stood up and waited for the news.

" he is okay now but right now he needs to be in a place where he won't have any stress that could damaged hime further" my mom sigh and ask the doctor if we could go inside, as soon as the doctor allows us we all filled in the hospital. 

two days later....

we are on our way to the airport, to drop mom dad, and my eldest brother at the airport to go to Singapore to the hospital there, "bye honey, take good care of the company" my mom hugged me, and my dad gave me a kiss and said "call us if you need any help, my assistance should be there to guide you" i nodded and hugged them tight before saying goodbye, i've informed Lina about the situation, she told me not to worry about her, she can handle being on her own, beside Lina has a lot of friends and she can make herself friends anytime with her easy going attitude.

i watched as i saw them head inside, and so i left the airport along with my little brother my second eldest brother have to went to his company, after i dropped my little brother at his school i went to work straight away, i've never imagine myself as a girl who would run a billion worth of company, but now everything is on me and i have to try my best. 

As soon as i arrived, people were surrounding me asking me what i should do cameras were all in my face files on files are piled on my hands, i've had enough so i shouted.

"STOP!" everyone froze and looks at me, "where is my assistance and secretary?" two little tiny footsteps and a bunch of groaning later, two model like woman appeared in front of me, " get all dads files and meet me in his office" 

i am scared, i am scared of this people but what can i do when my dad have worked so hard for this company to happen to where it is today and i am not going to be the one who let dad down i can't let that happen, it is time to push my past away and start a new, start a new stronger beginning no one can change my mind now. but i wonder where Dante is? is he with his fiancé?, he wouldn't know, he wouldn't care i was just an experiment for him, how can i think that he actually likes me?, he have broken my trust, he promised that we would always be together and he went ahead and had a fiancé the thought angers me never, i will never love or let anyone in my life again.

i've arrived at the top floor where my father office, one thing that i don't need teaching is running the company i have visit dad, and helped him several times. i've even landed a big deal for him while pretending to be my dad, and so this is a challenge that i am familiar with as of right now i just need courage and confident to make this work. 

i sat down and start doing the work, and start my life anew at least i wouldn't have to go to school again. 

Dante's pov....

it has been two days and i couldn't get a hold of Tulip, i heard what happen but now she just disappears  she wouldn't pick up her phone i don't even have the time to get out of the company, everything has been so hectic, Tulip must have left me. 

who wouldn't after i have destroyed her love and trust, i guess we were never met to be with each other. 

after working in the company i have my suspicion that there is a runt in the company and lately that has been a big problem, it seems that someone have sold the companies information and i am going to find out who he or she was before it was too late.  

as of tulip and i ? i would only wish for her to be happy,  i have let her down, and she have left me twice, we were not destined to be together.
