Chapter 3 THIRD

MY NIGHTMARE just started. That moment of my life that I despise the most. Many times that I wanted to cry or complain and tell mom everything. It is close to impossible. Mom will never take my side because she did it one time and she takes the side of Brent. People will easily be fooled by a saint rather than a kid's whim.

I'm almost taking a deep sleep when suddenly I opened my eyes when the lights overflowing the room. I am sure that I closed it and even my door is lightly open when I did closing them at night before I sleep. Maybe I just forgot it today.

When I lifted my face I saw Brent standing at the edge of my bed.

"Dad, do you need something?" I even pulled up the blanket closer to me.

"Yes. Can you make me some tea? I can't sleep," he said starting to sit at the edge of the bed.

Hesitantly, I pulled up and leave the bed. He could have it on his own. Don't he have feet? I'm almost having my dreams and suddenly he will go to my room without even knocking. Geez, this is hilarious!

Brent told me mom will be late for home today. She had to take overtime from the cosmetics company where my father makes her a full-time staff. Maybe that's why he wanted to see me and do the 'tea' for him.

When everything is done, I hurriedly went to the toilet, next to my room. I need to take a quick shower. I need to sleep again. This is the only thing my mind at ease... again.

I just felt the lukewarm water running down onto my body as I put my head under it while I didn't remove my clothes. I just wish everything will end, that it will alleviate my suffering and Brent will vanish like thin air from our life or even from my life.

I wish I could live or even work with Roa at her house now, so I could instantly disappear him from my sight. Just this few days. I just wanted few days of his non-existence. I would rather invest money to have a house for my own even I will waste and used my bank account.

The next day, I went early in the morning with Brent. He demanded that he'll be going to train me in his company so I can work there and I might inherit all his wealth.

"Three-fourth of all my property and my wealth will be given to you as your inheritance," he said smiling while we are loading from his car. He said it like a commitment. "Can I get a kiss as a reward?"

I slightly lifted my body for a quick kiss. "Thanks, Dad." and turned my head staring at the car's window.

"You're highly welcome, hija. It might take months for you to memorize and understand how to handle my company. You're brainy, for sure it would be easy-pissy for you. It would be better to give you a position. How about a small position?" he asks again while her eyes stick on the way we are going.

"That is nice, Dad. I love to have it," and force a quick smile while the back of my head wearing a no-interest look.

He scratches his chin. "How about giving you a secretary position? In due time, you can easily understand everything. I wanted you to make our business grow stronger, wider, and make us richer. That's the only company I had." He presses my hand to convince me. "I know you can do it, Celes. Will be better to focus on a career and not love life. Men are not good for your system. Your stepdad will be enough for your life, right?"

I drastically turn to gaze at him. "Yes, Dad," I said as he doesn't want anyone not to follow him and even not taking any answer from whatever he wanted to do.

The next day, Brent process my papers so I could work at BE Cosmetics Company. He transferred his secretary to another division so I could take his position. What a drat! He put him as my mom's secretary so she will never take any overtime. Good for my mom, bad for me. Now I can make that over time in exchange for mom.

After three months of working under Brent's supervision. I already memorized everything and with the brain, I have been a Summa C*m Laude during school years, things are easy to do even without Brent around.

Until this morning, Brent didn't come with me to the office. I'd been alone inside his office. Everybody in the office wondering why my stepdad is not around when he didn't apply for a vacation. Asking too many questions from time to time until I heard a word from my Mom.

I took the phone call when suddenly it didn't stop ringing. My mom is crying deeply and almost choking her words as she speaks over the phone. She's also asking if I could come to the hospital right now because something happens to Brent.

I almost knocked off my chair after mom called me. My hands are throbbing and frigid as ice. My heartbeat is pumping hard almost make me deaf and unstable. The news about my father still reverberating in my head. I can't even push my feet for a walk outside the door.

Many things I wish and many things kept banging on my mind lately that Brent will come out of our life because of the misery I had to endure from him. Today is the new day of my existence. This cage that my stepdad built soon will wreck and fall hard. Because something happened to my stepdad, Brent.

Brent Echavez is dead.
