I hate it up to that point. Since it was from my father, the very reason why 'she' left. When I said 'she' I was pertaining to my mom. The one who promised me that she will stay. The only person whom I always trust. She promised that she won't leave me. But then she failed that promise. She break that very promise the moment when a piece of news rushed into our manor.

I can't freaking understand him!My frown suddenly disappeared the moment my eyes met his gaze."Know your place"I will start up for a little. He sounds as if he knows everything
