18 CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

"They love you so much and would never hurt you intentionally. They have their reasons for keeping it away from you. You've purnished them enough." James said. I didn't know when I let out a few tears. "It's okay." James said wiping my tears. "Get some sleep. Everything will be fine" James said. I closed my eyes and let sleep over take me.

I opened my eyes later in the day. Mum was staring at me with love. This woman loves me so much, yet I hurt her. "I'm sorry mum" I said. She smiled and hugged me. "I'm sorry too my princess, for keeping it away from you" mum said. "Its okay" I said. Just then, dad and Dave came in. "I'm sorry' I said sitting up. Dave came to hug me. "I missed you so much" he said releasing me. "Me too" I said. "Where is James?" i asked. "He left already but promised to be back by morning" dad said. I looked at the time and discovered it was already past 8pm.

These people i call my family love me so much. The love they have for me is an UNENDING LOVE. What more could I ask for? I'm grateful to God for bringing these people into my life.

Mira was a frequent visitor of our house. She came more often and sometimes spent the night. It took me a long time to know that something was up between my brother and Mira.

Smith's Empire was officially mine. It was handed over to me on my birthday. I let the identity of the CEO remain anonymous and continued to work as an employee. Only the manager knew my identity and I told him to keep it a secret.

"I'm travelling" James told me one day. "What? Where are you going?" I asked. "I cant tell you but I'll be back soon. I'm leaving tonight" he said. Why cant he tell where he is going? "Okay" I said. I didnt want him to go. I've been closer to him than anyone else. It feels like a part of me is leaving with him. I didnt notice the tears drop until he wiped it off. "Please dont cry. I'd be back before you know it" he said. He pulled me into a hug before leaving.

"You're the only one that can bring him back" Dave said. "Me? How?" i asked. "Think about it" he said.
