"Wake up princess if you don't want to get late. It's already sharp 8." I heard Anna's voice and hard knocking on the door. Last night when I came back, it was so late like 2:00 am. I hopped on the bed and immediately drifted to deep slumber.

"Coming," I mumbled not enough hearable for her, and shifted on my position. I didn't want to leave my bed. I needed some more sleep.

"Princess, open the door. NOW!" She again knocked on the door and yelled in a threatening tone.

Unwantedly, I hopped out of the bed, and with slow steps, I reached the door and opened it. So that she could come inside. I leaned my head on the door and again closed my eyes.

"Look at you, seems like you were attending a very important meeting last night." She sarcastically said while going inside my closet.

I opened my eyes and looked at her, "How do you know that?" She laughed thinking it was a joke.

She came out with a dress after she handed me it. She literally dragged me towards the washroom. I groaned but went inside anyway.

After doing my morning routine, when I got out, properly dressed and ready. I picked my phone and when I looked at the time. My brows creased as I yelled angrily,

"ANNA!!!" It was just 7:00 am.

Today, I had worn white pants with a green floral sleeveless top pairing with white heels. With my regular light makeup and my hair falling freely in their natural waves on my shoulders. I looked in the mirror for the last time as moved downstairs.

It was only 7:00 am and I was feeling so sleepy already when the day wasn't even started yet.

Yawning, I trekked towards the dining hall. I knew I would meet Daddy at breakfast, reading his newspaper as usual. And here he was exactly doing what I had predicted. Mom was nowhere to be seen. I greeted him with a small 'Morning' and sat on the chair beside him.

Last night I argued with him and now I was feeling very guilty. I shouldn't have said all those harsh words to him neither should I had used that rude tone. How stupid and ungrateful of me!

I looked at his face. His empty brown eyes, his face were suddenly showing signs of aging. He was the person who never let me felt like I was not his daughter. He always treated me like his own child. He loved me, fulfilled my all demands, and did what a real Dad did for his children.

I was wrong, he was my real Dad. No matter if we were not bound with the blood but we were bound with love.

How ungrateful of me! I shouldn't have misbehaved with him.

"Is there something on my face?" He asked and I shook my head with a smile. Anna came with maids and started to direct them to settled breakfast on the table. I glared at her for her morning stunt. In return, she shrugged and winked.

"How is Brett?" Daddy asked.

Before Anna could even reply Bre appeared like a ghost out of nowhere and said, "I'm good. Did something happen to me?"

Mischievously smilingly, he settled himself on the chair. His face still had scars. His eye looked a bit better but the scar on his jaw and the swelling of his nose and lips were still worse.

"I hope you kids won't repeat this mistake." Daddy said authoritatively. We both nodded in unison, knowing the fact that it was just a beginning. Because we were not going to stop the investigation, not at any cost.

"Sir, you have to attend a book publishing ceremony for Mr. John at 2:00 pm." Bre said to Daddy while drinking his coffee.

"Alright." Daddy replied.
