Chapter 2

Elvian waiting in front of the car with his furious looks on his face. He's glaring at Soleia and didn't even invite her to get in the car. Even so, Soleia still remains her calm expression. Waiting for him to start the conversation.

"Sol! Where were you? I've been waiting for ages!" He crosses his arms over his chest.

"Didn't I text you?" Sol replied acting innocent. Only God knows how her internal feelings dying because of Elvian expression.

"Yeah, I know. What about 'I eat. Later'? How can I not worry with only three words you sent?" She knows that she fucked up.

"But I'm here now, right? Okay now, let's go home. My bed waiting. I'm tired." Soleia said as she push Elvian to get into the car.

Mission complete.

IN THE CAR

"Father...how's father doing?"

"He's.....fine. He must be glad that you're asking for him." Elvian trying to convince her so that they can have a conversation like father-daughter used to have.

"Really?" Soleia shows no interest and throw her view to the windows again.

They never in good terms ever since their dear mother died. It's been a tough day for them. Elvian never really know what actually happened between both of his father and sister. He just had a thought that maybe they never been close before.

Because at that time, he just 10 years old innocent boy.

He knows nothing.

8 YEARS AGO

"It's only been a month since mother passed away! But a lover? Are you insane?!" 12 years old Soleia shouts at his father. She is indeed way too matured despite her age.

"Who teaches you to talk to your father like that? This must be your maid, right? Let me fired her. To give such a bad influence on you." Her father correcting his spectacles and take a sit down on his study's chair.

Soleia came closer to his father study table and slammed both of her hands on it. Her father looks upon her and showed a disappointed face. She doesn't care what comes after this. She just simply said what she wants to.

"Don't change the topic, father. We're talking about mom right now."

"Do not fret if it's inheritance you're worried about." He said calmly.

"Father. I'm just 12 years old girl. How, you know what, I have no interest in your money at all." Soleia looked back and walk away in disappointment.

She stopped on the halfway.

"We don't have any close relatives visit mom's funeral, I get it! Since you and mom are the only child. But to acknowledge that you're going around playing with woman? You think  I'm just going to sit and watch you do all this crap?" She clenched her fists.

"What are you gonna do about it, then?"

Soleia startled.

"You think... I want this? Until you marry and become head of the family, you need to obligate and agree with me. " Soleia could hear someone's sobbing but she never looks back.

Don't look back.

Don't regret it.

Never look back.

PRESENT TIME (SOLEIA POV)

Until now.

No one knows what if she looks back. What happens if she change her act. Does it will change the future? Will the father and daughter relationship change? No one knows.

"Is she...still with him?"

Elvian glance at her sister first before answer the question.

"She is."

"Hmph." She replied fast.

ARRIVED AT THE MANSION

"Did everyone already asleep?" Soleia sneak into the house. She even turns on the lamp by herself. Afraid that she might wake someone.

Elvian asked Soleia to get into the house first while he helps Mr. Hogan to carry all of her luggage. The first place she reaches is the kitchen. What a beautiful place. Especially when there's a lot of leftover food here. She opens the refrigerator and she saw a slice of bread. A chocolate one! What a lucky!

While enjoying her bread, she didn't notice someone stares at the back. She never care about her surrounding whenever she eats.

"Is that you, Sol?"

She looks back.

Ah.

It's her father.

"Hey." She continues eating.

"Why didn't you tell me that you're gonna come home today. I should pick you up by my-"

"I was planning to tell you tomorrow. Please excuse me. I want to help El." She said as she walks away from his father but then someone blocked her way. When she looks up. It's someone that she is very uncomfortable with.

"Long time no see, Sol."

"It's you, Allison. I didn't notice you there." The woman that stood in front of her is Allison. Her father's lover.

Others look at a squirrel and see something cute, but Soleia sees something she can kill. She doesn't want to just shoot it though, she just wants to see how long it can last while she disemboweling it nice and slow.

That's how Allison's image to her.

"Awh, you can just call me Ally. It's not like we knew each other yesterday." Allison then reaches to give Soleia a hug.

Soleia reply her hug while whispering.

"We're not even close, to begin with. Ally? Don't make me laugh." She then release the hug. They actually seem really used with this kind of insult with each other but her father never acknowledged this. It just something between them.

"Oh, everybody is here? Am I late?" Elvian comes with his innocent smile. Soleia looks away.

She sometimes just hate the way her brother act. Of course, he did not know about this but, he's really bad at reading the atmosphere.

"Hey, Elvian. I can't talk longer. Your father got a lot of meeting tomorrow. Let's talk later." Allison gestures her body and Mr. Rustichel quickly approaching her as fast as lightning. That makes Soleia way more hatred for her.

"Sleep tight, Allison and father." Elvian wishes them.

Allison look back and pointing on Soleia.

"Let's have lunch together tomorrow, Sol." She smiled and proceed to go upstairs with her father.

SOLEIA POV

Lunch my ass.

Why would I eat lunch with a witch-like her? That's absurd. Ugh, now I can't even eat my bread anymore. I got no appetite because of that gold-digger. I put my bread back in the refrigerator and proceed to go to my room.

"Sol, let's talk all night. I want to go to your room. I miss you." Elvian stop me by grabbing my hand.

I look back. He making a cute puppy-like face. My expression may be cold but my internal feeling screaming like crazy because of his cuteness. He's 18! How can he become so cute like this?

"Ugh, no. I'm tired. Bye, El." I said as go straight to my room.

You think I will forgive you after you talk so politely to that witch? Hell no.

"But Sol~" I could hear he whining.

No means no. Dumb. But you cute.
