Confusions, questions, and no answers. I forgot about 48 hours of my life and my life converted into a roller roster ride. Only God knows, what will happen next?

In few hours, I felt like my life was never my life.

We were heading towards the study room where Daddy called me to meet him. I could only hope for no more trouble regarding my luck nowadays.

I stopped in front of the huge wooden door and stared at it, afraid to step inside. I had not done anything wrong still, there was a fear in my heart because I knew no one believes me.

Veward looked at me and nodded to me to go inside. I nodded back before taking a deep breath.

Bracing myself, I stepped inside after a knock. The beautiful scent of books entered my nostrils and warmly welcomed me. Our study was a really large one, as everyone in this house had a different taste. From novels to poems and prose, biography and autobiography, you could found everything here.

You would find all kinds of books here which gave this study a glimpse of the central library. It also consisted of the most luxurious furniture ever, from table and sofas to wooden cabinets, all bookshelves, and paintings, to all kinds of light and heavy yet soft decoration. Everything was very luxurious here.

Daddy was sitting behind his mahogany desk with his glasses on. He was so engrossed in reading some papers that when he felt my presence, he lifted his head only for a moment to acknowledge me with a nod, and again started to do whatever he was doing.

I gulped in nervousness, biting my lower lip.

After a few minutes, when anxiety was doing its best on me, Caro entered the room and stood beside me. We both looked at each other confused.

What on earth did Daddy want to do?

She gave me a look, 'What-are-you-doing-here?'

I passed her, 'Daddy-wanted-to-see-me.'

She passed, 'You-too!' and rolled her eyes.

After five minutes, Liam entered the room and after him, Veward too. Noticing both of them, Daddy said without raising his head, "Can't you both stand outside silently and let me talk with my daughters privately?"

They both looked at each other, Liam glared at Veward and he, on the other hand, stuck his tongue out at him. I bit my laugh. In a confused and anxious atmosphere, only he could manage to make me laugh.

After that pin-drop silence fell in the room. Only the noise of the paper could be heard. We were standing in a row in front of Daddy's desk like waiting for our commander to gave us an order. In the middle, me and Caro while enclosing us in a bracket, Veward, and Liam.

"I want to tell both of you something." Daddy said, pointing at me and Caro. We both exchanged looks while he grabbed all the papers and put them in a file.

"We have a lot of work pressure these days. We have to stable the position of our company as it used to have. Caro knows that we cannot afford any more crises in business for now." He put his glasses off and rubbed his eyes.

"Because our company doesn't only belong to us, many people are working together day and night to fulfill the various demands of clients. And the position we had been, it's the result of their hard work and efforts. So, I don't want to disappoint them." Daddy said in a business calm and polite tone.

"I can understand," Caro nodded.

'And I don't want to understand!' I murmured in my mind.
