• "Rora, are you sure you wanna do this?" Brittany, my best friend since forever asked me.
• "Yes, Britt!"
• "But it's gonna be a dangerous adventure, no, I'm not gonna let you go!"
• I sigh and take her hands in mine.
• "Britt, this is a lifetime opportunity for me"
• Brittany puts her arms across her chest and narrow her eyes.
• "Why do you want to go to the Morgan's mansion so badly?"
• I bite my lower lip and look away from her.
• "Because,,,, I can make hellata money there?"
• "Money?"
• I nod quickly, a small smile tug on the corner of my lip.
• "But you can make money anywhere, and besides what do you even need so much money for?"
• "Huh?! I need money for so many things, like,
• I need to change my wardrobe, I need to buy new sets of accessories, no, THE trending sets of accessories. And maybe if I save enough I can buy my dream car!"
• Brittany gap at me before rolling her eyes and shaking her head.
• "Nope, I won't let you risk your life for trivia things such as these!" Her tone held finality.
• I gasped dramatically loud.
• "Trivia things?!"
• "Hmm-mm"
• "Britt, you don't understand. These things are life, I mean life is nothing without them, I mean life is meaningless without them, I mean,,,,,,, "
• "Fine, fine" she cuts off my blabbing.
• I smirk.
• "Even if I let you go, how will you cope? You are not a doctor and you know nothing about medicine!"
• I waggling my eyebrows, I move closer to her.
• "You can help me from afar"
• "How?"
• "I'll reach out to you on critical situations"
• "Reach out to me?"
• "Yeah, via phone!"
• "Oh!"
• "Yeah, oh!" I mocked her but quickly sober up when she glares at me.
• She stays silent for a moment, her brows furrowed as she ponders on letting me go or not.
• After few minutes of silence, she speaks.
• "I can let you go in my stead but you must promise me something"
• "What?"
• "You must give me a call everyday"
• "Everyday?!" I exclaim with wide eyes.
• "Hmm-mm" she nods.
• "Isn't that too much?"
• "I need to be sure you're still alive and breathing. Do you agree or not?"
• I huffed but nod all the same.
• She sighs and eyed me.
• "You can go tomorrow!" She reluctantly agreed.
• I jumped from my spot and wrap my arms around her in a very tight hug.
• "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, tha,,,,,,"
• "Can't,,,,,,,bre,,,,ath!" She muffles out.
• I quickly let go but didn't stop smiling.
• "Thank you, Britt. I should go start packing"
• "You can pack tomorrow morning, tonight yo,,,,,,"
• "Goodnight!" I cut her off and dashed into my room.
• Tomorrow I'll step into the Morgan's mansion.
• Finally, I will find the real reason behind my parents deaths, mom, dad, please help me out.

• I stand in a corner watching as the little girl knelt next to her parents body, she is crying her eyes out.
• She keeps shaking her parents' stilled body.
• Soon, a man in mask appears in front of her, pointing a gun at her. The little girl look up and gasp.
• She stands up slowly.
• "W-who are you?" She asked quietly.
• The masked man laughs sadistically.
• "Someone who wants you dead!" His voice boomed.
• The little girl drops something and take slow steps backwards, the masked man pulled the trigger but somehow it failed.
• It seems to be out of bullets.
• The little girl sees that as an advantage to make a run for it.
• "No, don't run! He's out of bullets!" I try to advice the little girl, but she didn't listen.
• She runs out and head towards the woods and keeps running, the masked man hot on her tails.
• "Hey, stop running! Stop there!" The masked man yells.
• The little girl keeps running, faster and faster, I catch up with her and tries to hold her but I couldn't.
• She suddenly stops, and turned back to look at the masked man. Her big brown eyes widened and filled with fear.
• The man masked man tilts his head and sees that she has no where to run to. There's a cliff behind her.
• He laughs.
• "Run! Run!" He mocks.
• The little girl shakes her head, tears running down her cheeks as she knows nothing can save her now.
• "Aren't you a fast runner? Now run!" He taunts.
• In a flash, the masked man push her off the cliff.
• My eyes widened as I watch her fall helplessly. Then I did the only thing I can do, I screamed.
• "Noooooooooo!"

• My eyes snaps open and I sit up on my bed. I reach out and take a glass of water from the nightstand and take small gulps.
• My door roughly burst open and my right hand man, Brandon walks in. He takes the glass from me and hands me a small handkerchief.
• I wipe off the small beads of sweat that has formed on my forehead, and I pant lightly.
• "Another nightmare?" He asked me.
• I nod.
• I hear him sigh.
• "You've been having these nightmares for 10years now, how about we seek help?"
• "Seek help?"
• "Yes!"
• I take off my duvet and got off my bed and walked towards my glass window, I stand there and look outside.
• Perfect view of New York City welcomes me.
• "Seek help from where?" I asked him.
• "I don't know, maybe, therapy?" He suggests.
• I frown and shake my head in denial.
• "No!"
• "It might help"
• "No!" I said firmly.
• "Ok!" Then he keeps quiet.
• He knows better than to push it.
• "So,,,are you still going back to sleep?"
• "No. I will just be in my study"
• I turn towards the door and we head out. We take the stairs leading to my study.
• "General, the doctor is coming in tomorrow morning" Brandon said.
• I halt in my steps and faced him, my brows furrows in confusion.
• "Doctor?"
• "The doctor we paid to treat your fiancée!" He explained.
• I nod and continue my journey to my study.
• Soon, we arrived. I stopped at the door and face Brandon.
• "Don't disturb me, unless it's something important" I ordered.
• "Yes sir!"
• I enter my study and slams the door shut.
