-This story is unedited so readers are expected to see some grammatical errors and spelling mistakes.

"Dad?" I said as I broke down.

"Gabriela," he replied as he walked closer.

My whole world crumbled down and I found it hard to breathe. Tears filled my eyes and it made my eyes blurry.

"You are alive," I stated the obvious with disdain.

"Let me explain honey," he said calmly as he held my shoulder but I instantly shoved his hand.

What did he expect me to be my reaction?! To be happy?! I should be happy that he is alive but I'm not! Instead, I felt betrayed and hurt. Sorrow shredded my inside and I trembled with fury. After all these years, I drown myself in despair and a plan of revenge for him! Every single day, I was thinking of him and how to give justice to his death!

I risk my life for him! I almost die! Timothy almost die because of him! I don't know what is my purpose anymore! I was consumed with the idea of vengeance, and now that I know Dad is alive, I feel useless! Numbness enveloped me as I mourned for my life.

"I'm sorry," Dad said as he tried to embrace me.

"No!" I exclaimed while getting away from him. My breath quicken and tears started to stream down my face

"I don't need your sorry!" I laughed bitterly as tears continued to fell. Albreach was already gone and I was left alone with the man I longed to see for all these years. But dejection overshadowed my happiness.

"Please Gabriela. I didn't mean to hurt. Listen to me first," he pleaded.

"You fool me, Dad! For all the people, I didn't expect you to do that to me! You don't know what I have been all these years! You left me alone in this cruel world! I was a child back then dad! A child who needed guidance! You deceived me! You put me in agony! You filled my heart with hatred and despair! I hate you!" I was hysterical. I was panting while I cried hard. I want to pull my hair and woke up in this nightmare.

Dad tried to reach me out but I shoved him again. My teary eyes landed on the vase. I laughed humourless as I reached it out. He was probably the one who gave mom flowers.

I feel that I was going insane! I grabbed the vase and threw it on the floor. It shredded into pieces, same as my heart broke. I kneeled as I picked a shard of the vase. I was sobbing and it made my head so freaking hurt!

"Stop it, Gabriela!" Dad grabbed my wrist, trying to stop what I was planning to do but I resisted and fought him. I pointed the glass at my wrist, planning to cut myself and bleed to death.

I want to die! I want to escape this misery!

Suddenly, the door burst opened. I cried hard the moment I saw who it was. It was Ellie with Timothy at his side. Timothy's face contorted with worry as he looked at me but turned suddenly into surprise when he saw my Dad. At their back was Draco Albreach who was wiping his bleeding lips.

Timothy ran at me, and he got the shard of glass in my hand. Then, he embraced me as I stood up. My body felt limp and I was crying hard as before. His warmth took the pain away temporarily. I buried my face on his chest while he began to stroke gently my back.

"Take me away from here Timothy," I pleaded.

I felt numb as we walked to Timothy's penthouse. Ellie was holding my arms while Timothy was walking behind us. I was staring blankly ahead while Ellie was saying something to cheer me up.

"I'm okay Ellie," I said as I gave her a small smile. But the truth was I was not okay and I think I will never be after this. I just want to lay down on the bed and cried out all the pain I felt.

We went inside and Ellie once again asked me if I was okay. I nodded and put both hands in my hoodie's pocket. I felt a piece of paper in it and I remember it was a clue that I found in my mother's grave. I gave it to Ellie without saying anything. I don't care about it anymore.

Ellie left and went to our room. Probably to give some space to me and Timothy.

Timothy embraced me and I let myself melted in his arms. I fought back tears that were threatening to escape in my eyes. I was tired of crying but it was hard to stop when I was in pain.

"I'm okay," I said in a low voice. It was a lie.

He let go of me and looked me into the eyes.
"You're not okay," he said as a matter of fact. Then, he kissed me on my forehead.

"I will always be here little tiger," his voice was so soothing that made me wants to cry once more. I bit my lower lip and nodded as I tried hard not to sob.

"Thank you, Timothy," I replied.

After that, I excused myself and said that I would like to freshen up. He was so worried but I insisted that I will be going to be okay.

I was inside the bathroom. I took my clothes off and let warm water filled the tub. I just want to wash this pain away. Maybe Dad has a reason but still, he abandoned me all these years.

I let myself sank in the water and closed my eyes. I cried again remembering all the things that happened to me. From the day I thought my Dad died up to this day that I discovered that his death was a hoax.

All this deception makes my heart constrict with pain. I don't want to live in lies any more.

I bit my lower lip until it bleeds as I tried hard not to make any sounds. I don't want them to know I was crying again. I stay like this for a while until I was out of tears. I heard a knock and it was Ellie asking if I was okay.

Ellie was so persistent. I didn't answer her instead I slowly submerged my head and body in the water. I held my breath and wished to end this agony. Maybe death is the answer for all of these. I heard the door blew up but my consciousness was slowly fading. I was ready to give up but strong hands pulled me up. I opened my eyes and found Timothy's eyes bored into mine. I breathed hard as I felt exposed to him.

Ellie ran and covered me with a white towel. Her eyes were wet and at that moment I realized how selfish I was. I was only thinking about myself and didn't think of the people who cared for me.

"I'm sorry Ellie," I said weakly while she covered me with a towel. Tears shimmered in my eyes again.

Timothy scooped me into his arms. I felt weak and tired to resist.

"Don't do that again," a muscle in his jaw twitched.

"Don't be mad at me please," I pleaded as I touched his jaw gently.

"I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at your action. I don't want you to hurt yourself Gabby. I can't bear to lose you again," his face soften as he said those words. I gave him a sad smile and closed my eyes as tears fell on my cheeks.

I wished all the pain I felt will vanish when I wake up. Slowly by slowly, I was drifted to sleep in Timothy's arms.
