Chapter 8

After weeks when I came home. My father and my step mother are not yet home. They are still in the hospital and stayed there some weeks.

"You're back" my father said to me as soon as I entered his office.

He is now sitting in his office chair, he ordered a maid to send me here to his office because he wanted to talk to me.

I was happy because somehow my father was still worried about me, he waited for my return and now I realize that he is not serious about sending me out of this family.

I smiled and walked closer towards him, I am planning to give him a hug but he stopped me. He waved his hand, signaling me to stay away from him. That's what he always do when he doesn't want anyone to come near him.

My smile faded and just backed away. I bowed my head and just waited for what he would say, I will no longer assume that the outcome of our conversation would be good.

"Our company is slowly losing money" he said

"Someone stole 500 million Pesos from our company" my eyes widened at what he said, 500 million pesos? That amount is not a joke! our company will really lose if that huge amount is lost!

"Do you know who took it?" I asked worriedly

"Not yet"

"How come someone stole such a large amount?! What is the Finance department doing dad?! They should be the ones who know what the company's financial situation is?!" I could not stop myself from raising my voice.

Damn it! We’re talking about the company here! Company founded by my mom and dad and then someone else will benefit from the money?!

"DON'T RAISE YOUR VOICE ON ME TERRAVINE GAIL!" dad yelled at me.

"I AM YOUR FATHER SO RESPECT ME! AND DO NOT INTERFERE WITH MY COMPANY!"

"YOUR COMPANY? MAY I REMIND YOU, YOU'RE WITH MOMMY WHEN YOU BUILD THE TRD GROUP OF COMPANY! MOMMY IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY THERE IS A TRD IN THIS WORLD!"

The TRD group of company is our family companies, each company has different products, each company is also managed differently but it also comes from our family. TRD is the main company of all companies.

Under TRD, we have a company called T company, the products in this company are all cosmetics only.

Mommy's brother manages it. Every week, the head of their financial team reports to the main company

TRD,the company run by my father.

The second company under TRD is the R Company headed by my father's brother, the products under this company are Fashion things, such as Bags and clothes. like T company, the head of the financial team at R company reports to the Main company TRD every week.

The last company is D company, D company is the company for perfumes, it is headed by Mommy's sister, just like the previous companies, D company is also reporting to the head of the financial team.

In short, T company, R company and D company have only one founder, and these are my parents. All the income of the three companies mentioned has only one destination and that is at the main company, TRD Groups of Company.

"YOUR MOM IS NOW GONE! I AM NOW THE ONE WHO MANAGE THIS WHOLE COMPANY! SO I AM THE ONE WHO WILL MAKE THE DESCISION!"

"What decision?" I asked without any clue.

"You’re going to marry the heir of MSC Group of companies." he said without any hesitations.

"NO!" I answered immediately

"YES! Your engagement is on your birthday next month." He finalized.

"I don't want to marry that guy!" I demanded

"Even if you don't want to, you will still marry him because I say so!"

"You are not the one who will decide for me!" I shouted.

"I am the one who will decide because I am your Father!" He pointed me

"But it's not your life!"

"You will still do what I say!" he said while looking at me.

"You're not my father anymore" I said emotionally,

He seemed to be shocked of what I said but he still looked at me sharply.

"Get out."

I do not know if I should be happy with what my father said because we will not going to talk about the wedding or I should be scared because he is mad with me again?

I kept looking at him, I wondered if I should follow what he said that i should get out.

"I SAID GET OUT!"

I panicked when he suddenly shouted. At the same time I was shocked because my father was holding his chest, he almost fell down but that did not continue when he held on to his desk to balance his body.

I was just looking at him because I did not know what to do. He shouted loudly again so our maids quickly entered the office followed by my step mother who had just given birth.

"What did you do?!" Mama Anaida shouted at me.

I could not answer right away because I did not know what to answer. I don't do anything to Daddy other than he is mad at me, or that's exactly the reason why Daddy is like that?

Does his chest hurt because he's me? but how? as far as I know daddy is not sick and he is in good health? why does his chest seem to hurt so fast now and he has difficulty breathing? Is the company's problem too big so

Daddy's health is also affected?

"ARE YOU JUST GOING TO STARE AT US FOREVER?!" I stopped thinking when Mama shouted at me again.

"GO OUT AND CALL OUR DRIVERS!" mom orders the maids

"AND YOU! CALL THE AMBULANCE!" she ordered to me.

I was already out the door when I heard a child crying. I thought that the child might not be with someone because everyone here was busy taking care of daddy so I think of going back inside the office. My eyes narrowed when I saw Mama Aniada giving daddy something to drink.

Even though I am a bit far away I can still see the color of the bottle, it is a black bottle, and you cannot see the content inside because of its color. After that she suddenly threw the bottle somewhere. The bottle is not too big so it can easily roll over under somewhere,

All my life, I have never seen daddy get sick and attacked like this. He is not immune to any disease!

Mama turned to where I was so I quickly bent down and crawled out. I don't know why, but I feel when Mama sees me here she will be angry with me.

As mama ordered, I called the ambulance.

In less than 10 minutes they were here. They quickly put papa in the ambulance and rushed him to the hospital.

Mama was in the ambulance while we are going next. Until now I am still afraid that something worse could happen to Daddy.

I'm am the reason why daddy is in this situation. If I just listen to him and followed what he said to marry the heir of the MSC company he would not be angry with me and his chest would not hurt.

I sighed heavily and just looked at the floor.

Everything that happens in this family is my fault. At first, it was mama giving birth prematurely, now I'm the reason for the sudden attack of pain in the chest of my father .

Am I the bad luck to this family?
