Adams' mansion

wen's pov:

Coming out of that building was the best thing that has ever happened to me.

It was like walking out of the valley of the shadow of death

I mean my breath was gone the moment I was face to face with the Almighty Mac lord, one of the most powerful and richest men in the world

He was so breathtaking, I mean who would have told me I'd be in the same office as Mr CEO.

I've only got to see him on News papers and TV

Nobody actually knows much about him apart from the the fact that he's the owner of one of the the biggest Electronic company in the country and also owns the Maclord's Hotel, the biggest in the country.

He's not so much exposed to media because according to him he hates the world and everyone in it so the only thing that gives him joy is when he's busy making millions

But damn that was a close..

"Miss we're here" I'm brought back to reality by the cap driver

"oh okay"

"We arrived two minutes ago but u were in deep thoughts so u didn't notice" he says

"uhmm I'm very sorry sir" I apologize.

"oh God help me" I murmur to myself

I did my payment and thanked the driver before heading to my my parent's house to pay them a visit and see my dad's condition.

I've haven't seen him for a week now due to so much work in the industry.

Actually I no longer live with them. I mean I'm 22 and I see the need to start my own life

I left college two years back with my bachelor's degree in theater and dramatic arts

so I am a known actress though not really popular

I work with the National theater industry owned by Frank Lee one of the richest in the country and popular world wide

I ring the doorbell and few minutes later I am welcomed by Briella my younger sister...

Mr Michael Adams and Mrs Ruth Adams have just two daughters... Wendy Adams and Briella Adams making the Adams' family..

My 10 years old *Bri* as I usually call her jumps on me almost causing me to fall

"Sisy" she yells with her hazel eyes sparkling with happiness

"Oh my Bri sweety I've missed you, how have you been" I ask her still gripping her tightly in my arms

"I'll be fine if you let go of me Sisy" she struggles to speak due to my hands wrapped tightly around her body

I let out a light laugh and drops her down.

She giggles.

"Sisy has missed you so much, you know right" I tell her as I stroke her neatly combed hair pulled into a ponytail

"I've missed you too Sisy where have you been" she whines and blinks her round hazel eyes rapidly giving me a puppy look face

"Awnn baby, Sisy has been very busy with work but I promise I'll make it up to you okay" I promise her and I meaned it

"Other people live here you know" I hear a soft female voice

I raise my head looking straight at Mrs Ruth Adams

"Oh I didn't know" I reply sarcastically causing Briella to giggle again and run upstairs

"Take care baby" I say before she disappears.

I walk towards my mom's direction to give her a heartwarming hug.

Cause I can tell from the way she looks at me with those tired hazel eyes that she needs it.

"Oh sweet mom" I whisper almost tearing up as I walk towards her with wide arms and wrap them around her caressing her back gently

"It's gonna be fine mom" I assure her when I hear her light sobs on my shoulder and the way she grabs me tighter

"You are a brave woman" I tell her as my own vision become blurry

But I won't cry... I need to be strong for her, for them, for us...

She finally lets go of me and I clean the tears on her cheek and caress her soft jaws with my thumb

"please be strong for Dad okay" I plead with her while searching for her eyes

She nods with her head lowered and her lips between her teeth

I pull her into another embrace and we just stand there for God knows how long...

* I slowly open the door to my parent's room and find my Dad lying peacefully on their bed

I feel my heart ache as I take a look at his condition.

He has to undergo surgery in four months time and the sum of 3.5 million pounds is needed

He has lung and bronchus cancer and has been with it for almost three years now taking just normal treatments

But it has gotten to a point where a surgery must be done and the chances of him surviving it is...

Low..

I gently walk towards the bed and leans in to give him a kiss

I sit by the bedside and take his hand into mine, caressing it and placing soft kisses

" You'll be fine Dad" I whisper while kissing his hand

"You have to be fine for me, for mom, for Bri..."

I tell him with watery eyes

"We miss you Dad pls be strong for us" My subs are cut off when are pair of hands are placed on my shoulder

"You told me to be strong few minutes ago" I hear my mom whispers in my ears

I give her a faint smile as she rubs my shoulder

"Be strong darling.

Everything will be fine we hope ...."
