Begin Again

Chapter 1

Tori's POV

I keep on thinking about the future now. What would happen after many years? I am looking at the view here in Manhattan. I am beside my window, my head's leaning against it. It's a glass and I could see the view outside. It was filled with tall buildings, which looks like they were fighting for the title of "The Tallest Building Award". They have this fifty-storey building, one hundred-storey and such. I could also see the Empire State Building in daytime. Everything in Manhattan feels like peaceful throughout the day but when the sun is down, the city is filled with lights and it's so beautiful. Even the Empire State, so full of light. I can't believe I reached my dreams up to where I am now.

I am known as "Victoria Oliver, CEO of the Oliver Entrepreneur. She is the TOP 1 Most Successful Businesswoman in the whole world."

"Miss Oliver, I am here to inform you that you have a meeting with Mr. McCartney by 10 AM and by four in the afternoon, there will be a meet-up with Mr. Kennedy. That's the schedule for today, Miss." Anne said from the speaker connected to the phone in my desk. I placed a finger on the SPEAK button and pressed it gently.

"Okay. Thanks." I said in reply. I stood up freely from where I was sitting and went back to my desk. I placed some folders in front of me and examined every single page.

Today is going to be a productive day.

***************

"Thank you very much, Sir." I said as I shook my hand with his. "If you'll excuse me, I have to go somewhere else now." I stood up from my seat and fixed myself. He smiled at me and he also stood up, symbolizing of being a gentleman.

"Sure. It was a lovely dinner with you."

"Pleasure." I waved a hand and exited the door. I moved with my feet to my car and start the engine. I made my way to the Estate. The gate is automatic that opens when the gate detects when somebody or a car wants to come in. When I reach the door, I went out of my car and it was time to Fred to place my car properly.

"Good evening, Tori." He greeted. He usually call me 'Tori' because he's been my chauffeur since I was a kid. We're pretty close, though.

"Good evening, Fred." I greeted back and I made my way up to the kitchen. I opened the refrigerator and there was no food in there.

"Rita!" I called out. Instantly, she went out from her room.

"Everything alright, Tori?" she asked. I could tell that she's nervous. From her voice, through her actions. But why would she? I am not going to kill her. She's sweating like a pig. I tried to calm myself, trying not to laugh at her but I failed. She's a bit confused.

"Relax. I'm just asking when was the last time we went to the supermarket."

"Last month." She's a bit relief now. I smiled instantly and closed the refrigerator.

"Dress up. We're going out." I commanded. She nodded in reply and went back to her room. Rita and Fred are the only ones with me in the estate. They were married when I was seven. But I don't want to push the L-word now. It's sinful for me. I headed to my room and changed my working clothes into something comfortable. I got my pink pastel pullover and a dark jeans from my closet since the weather is cold. I got my cotton candy Keds shoes and match with my outfit. I took a last glance in front of the mirror and I pictured myself two years ago. This is what I used to like before. After that, I took my own responsibility: to run our company. My mother died and my dad couldn't think properly because of it before, that's what happened. I am also known as the "Youngest Successful Entrepreneur in the World." 

So much for the past. I don't want to reminisce again.

I went out in my room and headed downstairs. Rita is waiting for me at the door and Fred is on her side. "Guys, let's go." I said as I make myself inside the passenger's seat. Rita seated at the back and I let Fred drive since it's dark outside and I wasn't wearing my contact lenses. I am really quiet inside the car when Rita spoke up, "How are you, Tori?" she asked very calm and gentle. She and Fred had been my proxy parents since my legitimate ones are always not around. I'm used to it.

Rita placed her hand on my shoulder and tap it gently. I held hers back and gave a squeeze. I sighed and my eyes are so focused on the road. "I'm fine. I'm just so busy and tired, I guess."

"I missed you, sweetie."

"I missed you more."

Fred parked the car and we all jump off the car. The cold air lingers around my face and neck. The air gave me shiver a little bit. We went inside and I told them to buy the things needed in the house and I will just call them afterwards. I made my way to the opposite side and roam around the store. Then I spotted something that made me go near: cupcake mix. I was looking cautiously through the content when I heard someone called my name. I looked around and searched for that person. Great! He's standing in front of me.

Then, I froze.

Nightmare. He's here.
