Deborah Liner
February 15,1989—April 20, 2015.

The continuous flow of air around her made her wavy brown hair fly away from where they were before. On her hands are violet flowers wrapped on a rough paper, her sister would usually request everytime she would go out and run her some errands. After carefully placing it on top of a white marble, she closed her eyes.

She miss her so much, she really do.

Though from all the wealth that their family had, she always hear her bicker of things that she can not do, how she could not take herself out just like her or even have usual parties that she usually attends. Still, she understands and help her on getting through.

They were a happy family, living with their parents and grandmother was a gift that they consider a blessing, but everything became a nightmare in just a snap when time decided to take everyone from her—her grandmother, her parents and now, her sister.

What is the use of owning one of the top performing company, when you, yourself cannot fill the hole that has been eating you since you lost everything? Everyone says that she was lucky for taking over that company, but somehow, she considers it as a burden.

"Miss, we have been here for an hour. Are you sure you don't want to return yet?" one of her most loyal guard, Keith, asked her.

"Really? It felt like just a couple of minutes." she finally opened her eyes, after reporting everything to her sister silently, "Do you think Diego found anything?"

"Nobody have called yet. I think, he's still checking."

"How about the arrangements for tommorrow? Did Lisa told you that they are ready?"

"Yes, everything is set."

She nodded and pulled herself up. She grabbed her heels but decided not to wear it yet.

Becca took her final glimpse on her sister's tomb and left, the guard opened his black umbrella and followed her to the car beside the grassy field full of fallen humans.

Becca is the youngest between the two, three years to be specific. The company that she is handling, was the same company that her parents made from scratch, so up until now, she is thriving to put the company on a more secure state.

Lisa, on the other hand, have been trusting her for years now and Becca was pretty sure she have analyzed her, more than she knew herself. She is a good friend for her, and she thanked her for trusting her a couple of times.

Other than Lisa, Keith and her former driver are the only family that she have. It really sent her to hell when she realized that she have to let her driver go, he have been serving their family since they were kids, and she was pretty sure that his life would be in danger if she would keep him. Besides, it is time for him to retire.

It took an hour for them to reach their home, Becca did not bother putting her heels on, so she ran as fast as she can inside her house, ignoring the soaring pain of the hot ground. She removed her coat and gave it to one of her bodyguards before walking to the kitchen and grab a cold bottle of water.

"Where have you been?" she could not admit to the man that he shocked her so she had to endure the pain on her chest when she tried to grasp air while drinking.
