Chapter Seven

Erica's Pov

Finally he is dead, now I guess I could have peace of mind. My family is safe and free since he got involved alone. He just had to go sooner or later as it was just too risky for him to be alive. My whole family was at the verge of being killed all because of one person and I could never let that happen ever if it meant sacrificing my life. I started into space as I remembered Debby called and asked me to come home for the funeral. I thought of going but at the same time, it felt so weird thinking of being among people whom I had not been in contact with for years. I felt so confused and if felt like the walls were closing in on me. I remembered where I and Fred went yesterday night and what we did, thinking about all this; I heard a faint song coming from a store at a distance, it was going to be a long holiday indeed.

It was the day of dads burial. it felt like the ground should open up and swallow me as I just wanted to go home and be in my room alone with lots of people coming up to introduce themselves and express their grievances but due to the fact that I had not been at home for a long time it seemed so wierd unlike Terry who knew everyone as he stayed at home for his studies...

I went home and also decided to live life as life continues with or without dad.

The next day

I was upstairs in my room as I had just woken up when I heard the sound of the doorbell coming from downstairs but expecting one of the maids to answer it, I decided to just sit and relax a little in my room before deciding what the activities for the day would be, but then when it persisted without seeming to stop or looking like anyone would answer it, I decided to go get it. 

Upon coming out of my room, I wondered if nobody else was hearing it or had life balanced and continued so smoothly for everyone that they could still sleep so deep. I walked lazily downstairs with a scattered hair and my pajamas shifted to one side without me caring. I opened the door and to my surprise...

Have you delivered the package? yes 

ma'am, good boy. Next mission successful. Let's see how the game goes. He was just too gullible (laughs to himself) Though everyone thought of him to be such a sweet saint but like they say, " no one knows a man than the man himself". He thought he could eat his cake and have it, unfortunately for him, I am better and more experienced than him. Now let's see how well his family can play the game...
