Chapter 2 Mr. Albert's Death

The people closest to us are the ones with the most potential to hurt and destroy ourselves. "Hugging then stabbing." That's how Ella is feeling right now. The woman was seen sitting in the corner of the room and staring out the window. It was raining that night as well. There is only sadness and disappointment that is currently eating away at the woman's entire body.

"Sir!" shouted one of the servants from the ground floor of the house. Ella who heard that suddenly wiped her tears and hurriedly checked what had happened. She saw Mr. Albert lying on the floor.

"What happened to Dad?" asked Ella who started to panic seeing her father's condition that was so pathetic with a pale blue face.

"I don't even know Miss. I was very surprised to see Master's condition, which was like this," said the servant.

"Then quickly call the driver and we'll take my dad to the hospital," said Ella shaking her father's body and trying to call him to his senses. Even though she felt so very angry and disappointed with her father's attitude that had been so excessive. But as a daughter, she didn't want anything to happen to her father either. Especially when she saw the condition of her father who looked so very bad and sad.

"No need Ella. Everything will only be in vain if you take me to the hospital. Soon death will come and pick me up," said Mr. Albert softly who seemed difficult to catch his breath.

"I feel so very sorry for you and your mother too. Father betrayed you for that woman," he continued.

"Dad hold on, Dad will be fine," said Ella holding her father's hand firmly.

"No Ella, Father has drunk cyanide poison and soon father's life will be lost," said Mr. Albert with foam starting to come out of his mouth, but he still tried to say sorry to his daughter. Ella did not understand at all what had caused her father to look so very sorry. Even though this morning his father seemed very indifferent and did not feel the slightest guilt from within him.

"Dad! Why are you doing this? I will take you to the hospital." Ella kept tears in her eyes.

"Sorry Miss, the driver just came out to take a maid to look after Mrs. Sailo at the hospital," said one of the maids.

Currently there is only the driver who came to work, while the other driver happened to be taking time off.

"Then help me lift dad to the car, I will drive this time," said Ella who didn't want to buy time. Actually, it's not that Ella can't drive, it's just that Mr. Albert forbids his daughter because for him, Ella is an only his daughter. He didn't want his only daughter to get into an accident. It was a pretty ridiculous excuse for Ella, but because she didn't want to argue with her father, she chose not to drive all this time.

"That woman apparently only wants to destroy you, my daughter. She used me to destroy you. And I was so stupid to believe in a woman like her. After being satisfied, now she has gone and dumped me," said Mr. Albert with tears in his eyes. Even now his breath seemed to be at the end of his throat. His white eyes now seem to dominate. In just a matter of seconds, he returned to God's lap full of guilt and regret. But there is no use anymore when death has come to pick up. He could no longer bear the shame so he chose to end his lifestyle.

Alena continues to laugh out loud while enjoying a bottle of wine that is currently in her hand. She was sure that right now her best friend must be feeling so very sad and devastated after her father's death. She did not expect that the old fart man would die so soon.

"It's really very unfortunate Ella. Right now your tears must continue to flow down your annoying face. What a pathetic friend of mine," said Ella who then took a sip of wine straight from the bottle.

In her apartment, she seemed to be having fun. Even though this apartment had been secretly given to her by Mr. Albert without Ella's knowledge. Ella thought that this apartment was bought directly by Alena after receiving her first salary and bonus working at the company. But in fact, this is all a gift from her illicit relationship with Mr. Albert.

"I thought your father was a very very intelligent and educated man. But in fact, he is so very easy to use. Thanks to him, I can have my own dream apartment and car. You are really very smart Alena." The woman continued to praise herself for everything she considered an achievement. Breaking other people's relationships is a matter of pride for her. She will be happy when she sees the person she hates suffering.

Alena is suffering from mental illness. The tremendous trauma from when she was a child made her like this. She often experienced violence by her father and mother. That was why she felt that her life was completely unlucky. And she also wants to make other people's lives experience the same as what she experienced when she was a child. Plus, Ella is someone she hates the most. Ella always gets praise from others for her intelligence and beauty. In fact, she was often compared to her best friend. That is also one of the reasons that she hates her best friend so much.

"We'll see, I'll make you suffer again after this." This time Alena had evil intentions again in her mind. She will never stop destroying Ella's life.

She grabbed her cell phone and spoke to a man from behind the phone.

"How? Have you prepared the things I asked for?" She asked.

"Yes Boss. Don't worry about it. I've done everything you want," said the man over the phone. Instantly, a curve of a beautiful smile now emanated from Alena's lips. She couldn't wait to carry out her evil plan.
