"I know, I'm not just sure anymore. All my past boyfriends were with me because of my father who I didn't know my entire life .Well I knew him because he's rich and famous but I didn't know him as my father and my mom never made me watch news too much so I rarely saw him on TV and at that time I didn't feel the bond a father and daughter is meant to have. He just popped out of nowhere because of the tragic news of his death as my father only for his lawyers to tell me I shall inherit his billions of dollars when I get married. He couldn't even wait so he can die when I'm in my twenties so that I can realize I am of age to marry and start courting . But no, he had to die when I was 18." Teresa says walking towards the kitchen while continuing her phone call.
"Teresa!!!. You do not say those kind of things about dead people. " her best friend, Lisa Cooper said.
"I know, I'm sorry. It's just... I never met him. And after he died, he just happened to bring this attention to me after his lawyers read his will to the press mentioning my name to the whole country thereby destroying my love life. Now I can never be sure whether someone loves me for me or my money and I am beginning to feel Frederick is no different and loves my money." she says feeling disappointed.
"Ter, if you feel no one can can love you for who you are because of your money then you have to come out of the closet. "Lisa said.
"You're sounding like I'm keeping a homosexual secret " Teresa said jokingly.
"No, weirdo. I meant to come out of the closet about that emergency person "
"Emergency person?. Do you mean that my high school friend that I said I will give my inheritance to if something happens to me or I give it up willingly? " Teresa asked.
"Yeah, him. You still haven't told his name though... " Lisa reminded her.
"Not necessary. We are planning a high school party soon. So when he comes back into the country I promise I will introduce you to him. "Teresa said.
"OK, if you say so..., but are you sure you don't feel anything for him to entrust him with such a huge thing like this? " Lisa asked.
"Ewww, no. Well I did but trust me were just friends. And besides, he's married and has a kid "Teresa said.
"Oh, sorry " Lisa apologized. "I'm sorry again if this comes out harsh but why do you still bother to date when you are either being wanted for your money from inheritance or wanted for your money in MAZRA's bounty list "
"Ugh, please don't remind me about that list. I don't even know the guy and he wants my corpse. And the worst part is that we're trapped in this country like animals in the zoo. "
"Well, he must know you to want you dead and in a way..., he's doing a good job in acting like the president if we exempt the bounty list part ."
"What does that mean? "she asked as she finally settles down on her dinning table to eat her omelet and toast.
"It means you haven't noticed that for the past four months of his reign the only crime that goes unpunished if it is made known to the government is those ones concerning the death of those citizens on the bounty list. The country is as normal as it was and that's why people are not really complaining. I'm perfectly fine with the way the country is being ran if I forget the bounty list so I'm enjoying my stay here. It's just that you and your high school mates keep things on the low now with wearing hoodies and shades, it's... it's pretty sad. I wonder how long you are going to stay alive. I'll miss you. "
"Way to rub it in my face, Lisa " Teresa said with some food in her mouth
"I'm sorry I got carried away" she admitted.
