Chapter 25: NIECE
Niece
Dom glanced at me before walking to the hall. I decided to stalk him. He opened the door and the man Papa hired was in front of us, holding a white towel with blood on it. My eyebrows furrowed.
Who's blood is that?
"Ms. Sapphire! Y-your father..." He painfully spoke.
"What is it? What's with my father?" I sudden wave of worry washed through me. The man looked at me with sorrow in his eyes as he uttered his next words.

CousinThe next morning came and I heard a faint voice from my door. "Sapphire..." Auntie knocked. The door opened and her head peeked inside. I burried my face on the pillow so she wouldn't see my bloodshot eyes. I don't know how much I cried last night, but everything is just hard to accept.I rubbed my eyes and looked at the ceiling. I think I prefer the hardwood I had in Georgebury than the marble one in front of me. Auntie fully went inside my room. She's already dressed up– grey tube top with a pairing skirt and ankle strapped heels. The jewelry on her wrist and neck screamed wealth.

As I always say, there's always good in people. The only exception is the reason for committing murder. Up until now, I don't understand why Papa died.Who killed him? Why did they do that?These questions keep me up late at night. Just like in an orbit, they revolve around my brain in a never-ending cycle. And I badly want it to stop. All I know is that Papa is a good man, even though I didn't full

Aspyn's not hot-headed today, I should just go with it I guess?"Hop in," Hayden said as we walked towards an SUV in the parking lot. I nervously went to the backseat where Aspyn and Cheryl sat too.

New York is big, dear. There are many places you haven't went to yet," She said. She was wearing a black dress and white pumps, looking fashionable as ever."Okay. I think I'd like to go around." I suddenly thought about Dom. Is he in New York? Of course he is. Goodness! This city is big, so I don't think I'll be able to see him.

RumorsAfter a month, I got used to the city life. Aspyn's friends would come to the penthouse often and we'd hang out. Aspyn would sometimes bring me when they go out. I help her in her literature homework too. Though, I am still considering Auntie's offer in sending me to NYU.As an alternative, I started home-schooling. My tutor would go here in the penthouse and I'd busy myself with learning. I realized that the amount of knowledge there is in the world has no limit.

Arranged Marriage"D-dom will be there? I mean, Travis?" I asked. My heart hammered erratically at the mention of his name."Yes! The party is hosted by the Florences and they're very close. I heard he's been active lately." Brent giggled. "I mean, active in business parties like this, you know, since he was gone for months. I can tell that he didn't like what happened after the divorce." He finished my hair, now he's onto my makeup."What happened after the divorce?" I curiously asked.
