Heiress 40

Lavalee's POV

"How about you?" he asked after a long silence

"There's five of us, I have two younger sisters, an older brother and a younger brother. Ares is our second cousin, his mom, Tita Arizza is my Appa's cousin. I have two cousins from the mother's side, imo, my eomma's twin has two sons, JC and Kent, you've met them na." I answered

"Grandparents?" he asked

"Halmeoni died last year. We never met our other grandparents." I answered

"You have a big Family." He said

"Yeah, but we're still close well in bonds since we're technically scattered." I said

"What are your parents like?" I asked him

"Kind, caring, loving, the common characteristics of a mother and nosy. My father, I haven't seen him since I went back here." He said

I played the stereo when we ran out of topics and the song that played was 'Just Like Fire.'

"Fire." He mumbled so I looked at him

"Huh?" I asked him confused

"Why do you have that reaction to fire?" he asked

I leaned on the passenger seat and smiled bitterly.

"Ever since I was young, I was so astonished with fire. My room was decorated with fire designs, anything that resembles fire. Five years ago, it was the last thing I saw before I went home only to find out that we were ambushed." I said and he didn't seem to be surprised anymore since I already mentioned it in the pageant.

"Mafia." He said with a dark face and his hand gripping hardly on the steering wheel.

I forgot, he's a police officer, he hates the underground society, he hates it's existence and it's members. He hates the likes of me.

"I tried to kill myself using fire." I said and a tear fell from my eye

"But Nii-sama stopped me. He told me that we already lost Eomma and Appa, if they will also lose me, what would happen to our younger siblings? Nii-sama couldn't do it alone so I stopped." I said

"Stopped?" he asked and I nodded

"I stopped studying for a while. Nii-sama tutors me every night so that I won't forget the lessons. After a year, everything was stable so I was able to study again, I was able to get accelerated instead of being left behind." I said

"You're strong." He said and I smiled

I had to. I had to be strong.

The whole ride became silent until we stopped by a two story house. He parked the car in front and then we went down. It was already 6:45PM so the skies are a bit dark already.

"You should get ready." He said and my forehead knotted

"Ready? Ready for what?" I asked

"You'll see." He said and held my hand.

We went inside the gate, they have a garden in front of their house and the garden looks so beautiful even though it's slowly getting dark. He opened the door and we entered their house. Their interior is simple but it's calming and relaxing. It gives off a homey vibe.
