Their End, My Beginning

Chapter 15

I was woken up by the sound of the alarm. I cursed myself for not doing my work on time. I just saw a

beautiful dream where I saw my parents and me in a beautiful house surrounded by lots of flowers. He

was about to tell me something after lifting his laptop, but suddenly the laptop started beeping and

that’s how I woke up. Panting, if I may add. Well, you can’t blame me I thought the laptop was going to

explode with that noise. Though it was me itself who put that tone for alarm or else I won’t wake up.

I went to the bathroom and washed my face. As I looked into the mirror, I saw bad under my eyes.

That’s what you get for not sleeping properly. When I am in office, I do office work but when I am at my

apartment; I search for clues leading to reason behind my parents’ accident and till now I have found

none. Only if I get my dad’s laptop from the police, will I get any, at least a small clue. I know it won’t be

a big clue cause my dad is smart enough to make sure his laptop won’t be in the police station because

when I went to station in search of his laptop I found it but the problem was it was the one he used to

teach me the codes and store company stuffs in and not the one I see my dad working on most of the

time. So if that laptop is not with the police then it means something is there in that and that’s the

reason why police don’t have it because dad didn’t want them to, meaning he hid it somewhere .

What is there in it that he had to hide it? It just proves that my parents’ accident was not any accident it

was a planned murder because he hid it and made sure his other laptop was with police. Even if I don’t

have that hidden laptop using the laptop which is with the police I can find the hidden one but to get it

from the police I need something. To be more exact someone. I need Ryder because he has the power

to take the computer without being found out. Well, he is a powerful CEO after all, and that’s the reason

why dad said I will need him to find the answers to my questions. But how will get to him if he doesn’t

want me to find him?

Shaking those questions from mind, I went to my table and started to work on my designs. After 2

hours, I was done with my designs and was packing it when Mandy came in yawning.

“Good morning Kat, did the sun rise from west cause you never wake up this early. What happened?”

she asked. I walked out of my room, “I had to complete my design today is the day we have to submit

it. But hey, I do wake up early in the morning.”

“Ya, but only after I had to shout in your ears to wake up or else you wouldn’t be going to office

because you would have been fired because of being late.”

“Whatever. Do you want coffee?” I asked her as I walked into the kitchen and she went to the door and

opened it to take the newspaper from our doormat.

“Yha.” She says as she walks into the living room holding newspaper.

“Well, make for me too.” I say as I make pancake.

“Typical Kat-” she stops talking all of a sudden and when I look up, she stands there shocked and when

she notices me looking at her, she hurries to hide the newspaper. Too late.

I walk to her and snatches the paper from her. While I am faster than her, she is stronger than me but

too weak at reflex when the action is from me. “Kat don’t” she says.

I look at the paper and regret taking it from her. It’s the news of Ryder with some model claiming to be

his girlfriend. With tears in my eyes I walk off to kitchen to continue making pancake not wanting to

show it to her though she has already seen the weak me. There goes my thoughts of wanting to see

him. She says nothing, instead makes coffee for both of us, which I am very grateful for; I mean for

coffee and silence.

The rest of the morning went as none of us spoke and ate silently, and soon it was time for me to get

ready. Today I added a little more makeup than usual to hide the bags underneath my eyes and to add

colour to my pale skin. The skin that became pale after the news to be more exact. I had the perfect

skin tone that I didn’t have to tan nor add any makeup, and that’s the reason why I wear less makeup.

But since today I have to be presentable, I wore more makeup than usual and wore my dark blue suit

with updo hairstyle

Mandy insisted that she will drive me to work and then she will go to her office. Mandy is the CEO of

her dad’s company. And so I went to office with her with no complaints and tried to cheer up since I

didn’t want a gloomy face while presenting my designs and trying to get the deal.

I went in and put on an invisible mask in which I smile like nothing had happened and wished everyone This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

like usual and went to sit in my office. It took everything in me to not cry. And I powered up my

computer to see at what time our client was coming and waited for the representative of Waynst Ltd. to

come while rechecking everything to distract myself from the morning events and to prepare myself to

get the deal no matter what.

How I wish I knew no matter how much I prepared myself, nothing would be enough for what happened

next.
