Chapter 2

Katherine's POV “I have endured you for a long time now, I couldn’t do that anymore,” I didn’t understand what she meant, but I waited for her to continue since I was curious on what my offense had been. “I watched my father love you very much since I was a child, but what did I do?” She gritted her teeth. “What did he give to me?” She beats her chest. “Everyone knows that Grey enterprise Inc. is the largest enterprise in Seattle and even in the whole United State, yet he tried to marry you into Grey family, but what about me?” Kelly said in pain. “What is his daughter in his eyes?” Kelly glanced at me, I could see her trace the tears that rolled down my cheek, but she smiled, her smile was like that of a flower and said in a heavy voice. “You are a flower now,” her lips parted. “but you will never marry Grey again, and I will be Henry’s only wife.” I clutched the pain from her abdomen, staring at her with a pair of killing eyes, and my fingers holding the quilt. “Do you like him too?” I asked as I never knew all these things she had told me hurt her, she had always smiled at me and was happy for me, but now I realized it was all fake. Kelly hooked her lips and looked at me like I was a fool. “Of course, he is the dude of the first rich family, which woman wouldn’t like him?” She raised the corner of her brows. “To tell you the truth, Henry has always liked me and not you.” I curled my hand into fist, a throbbing vein appearing on my neck. “You planned all this together, didn’t you?” I figured. “I won’t let you go,” I gritted my teeth. “And dad won’t let you go either!” My featured was covered with hatred that I have never had before for Kelly, and in anger, I rushed to bite her. This time, Kelly was ready, before I could bite her, she smashed me desperately on my head with her bag and her eyes flashed a touch of cruelty at me. “Unfortunately, you don’t have this opportunity,” I couldn’t understand what she meant until she said the next words. “I am afraid you will never see dad again and everything that you ever had would be mine in the future, including the whole Joey enterprise Inc.” Kelly laughed and pushed me back on the bed again, but then her foot seem to have stepped on something and she lowered her eyes to see a string of valuable pink bead lying at her feet, I traced her gaze and saw how it swept the beads greedily, then she picked them up and put it on her hand. “It’s not bad, even if you honor me!” She looked at me after admiring the bead that was now on her wrist, I didn’t know where the bead came from as it wasn’t mine, but know of that concerned me. I was more concerned of what Kelly had said just now. “What do you mean when you said I would never see Dad again?” Kelly shrugged and I could see how reluctant she was to give me an answer, she rather gave me a self-conscious look, and then turned and stepped on her high heels as she left the room. I was puzzled, I wanted to get to my feet when I heard my cell phone ring, I turned around and spot my ringing cell phone, reaching for it, I answered and placed it on my ear. On the other side of the line, Neil, my Dad’s assistant, said eagerly. “Hey, Miss, the president… he…” Thinking about Kelly’s words, my heart thumped under my chest and a sense of panic I have never felt before hit me and I trembled. “Dad… Dad, what happened to him?” I quickly stood up not minding that I was naked. “The president just had a heart attack now and he is--- he is dead.” Neil informed me and the words ‘death’ was like a flash of lightning, and my head felt blank instantly. In this world, my father was my only relative and I couldn’t believe the fact that he has just past away, picking up my clothes, I jumped into them and rushed out of the room, the other pain in my body wasn’t my concern anymore, but the ache in my heart grew deep. I arrived at the hospital and saw my father’s pale face, tears clustered in my eyes, he would never open his eyes or call me baby ever again, no matter how much I called out his name. The most outrageous thing is that Kelly and her mother Rose were still crying sadly in front of his bed, I looked at them in anger. How can my father’s death be so coincidental? Kelly had made a statement about me not having to see him again, and now I am afraid the both snakes and scorpions have been thinking about this day for a long time. I was approaching the bed, but Rose got to her feet and slapped me across the face and I held my sore face and looked at her in shock wondering what I have done to deserve such. “You are an unfilial daughter, and you dare show your face here!” She cursed and my eyes dilated as I have no idea what she meant. “Your father is angry with you.” She pointed at my messy clothes and the hickey marks on my body and I raised my clothes to hide it to no avail. “Just look at you, it’s shameless to learn to fool around with people at an early age!” She spat. I felt so sad that no one would believe or hear from me before jumping into conclusion and cursing at me, but my eyes darted to Kelly who had filled them with the lies. “You killed Dad!” Kelly also pushed me forward with obviously fake tears in her eyes. “I don’t want you as a sister anymore!” She barked and glanced around. “Bodyguard!” She called out and some bodyguard arrived immediately. “Drag her out and never let her get close to us ever again!” Kelly ordered them. My body that was already falling apart was pushed by Kelly and the pain hit me again, then the bodyguard seized me mercilessly and I had no strength to fight back, my legs were already too weak, so they threw me out of the hospital. I stared at the hospital building in pain, aching all around, I have grown up in the palm of my father, but this sudden scene had made me almost desperate, and tears seems to be the only way to express my heartache at this moment. I was about to turn around when suddenly a speeding car came by the side of the road, and before I could scream, the breeze blew across my face and long hair as the breath of death instantly approached me.
