When Ran stormed inside her house, she didn't expect her father to be there and got suprised.
"I guess, we need to talk" He said plainly and walk into the living room
"I don't want to" she said coldly
Hearing her voice, he stopped and looked at her.
"Huh?"
"I am not in mood" After that without even looking at him, she stormed towards the stairs
He called her name "Ran?? Atleast eat with me" a hint of gloomyness could be sensed from him.
When he heard from Leon that young miss have ran away, he thought its because recently he's avoiding her and not spending time with her. In past she always been a rebeling child when he didn't give her time. And knowing it's not her fault and she's always be his beloved daughter no matter what.
So he came back home quickly and even brought her favorite cake but seeing her talking like that aches his heart.
He looked at his assistant and said faking a smile "Mood swings... yea mood swings" and both nodded at each other simultaneously.
Ran was standing in the balcony, looking at the moon. She didn't want to hurt her dad or be rude but it's just so much going inside her head that she just can't act normal like him.
"Hmm... Night is beautiful"
After hearing someone voice she got startle, and quickly wipe her tears.
"Uncle Brick?" Her dad assistant is more like a family, he's been around her when she was still small and she still clearly remembers whenever dad used to pamper her alot, he always used to nag him for spoiling her, though he looks muscular and all manly like some greek god but his heart is of a mother. Knowing he is going to nag her, she walked towards her room.
"Stop there!"
Just listening his voice, Ran flinched and stopped.
"What's wrong?" Unexpectedly his voice wasn't cold like usually when he used to nag her, it was different.
she just shook her head, pretending everything is alright.
Looking at this little stubborn lady infront of him, he sighed "Come here, there's something I wanted to show you"
He walked towards the study room, Ran just quietly followed him.
He took out a box and sat down "Come here and open it"
When she open it, her eyes went wide open. Their were tons of her photo and at every pic their was something written at back.
'My princess is beautiful', 'Look at that smile', 'When she come first in class', 'When she come first from down in the race'.
"Whenever he was far away from you, he used to tell leon to send your some pics and used to store all of them" He thought Ran might have run away because she is annoyed because of that bodyguard always following her.
Ran smiled while unknowingly tears start falling down her cheeks.
Only when Brick heard her sniffling, he realised she is crying. "No, Ran it's alright stop crying. If your dad will know that I make you cry he would cut me into pieces and feed to dogs"
Hearing him blabbing like this, she chuckled and smiled with tears in her eyes "Thank you uncle"
She then got up and walked inside her room without saying anything, she took that photo frame in her hand while staring.
"Yes, I am sorry Sera. But I can't let you destroy my life"
Then she took out a small vial in which it was written in small letter 'Arsenic poison', being a doctor she knows very well that this drug is known as the king of poison which can kill a person in two hours.
She looked at her dad smiling face in the frame, it wasn't her fault. She just don't want to get abandon, if all that was a lie then she still want to live in that lie forever.

In Morning, Jack was sitting in his cabin preparing some papers with full concentration.
Suddenly, Aaron stormed inside his office "Dad"
"I am busy Aaron let's talk later" He said without even betting his eye from his laptop.
"Fuck ... Dad look at this" Aaron turned on the screen,
"Wilson corps, suddenly in just one night got bankrupt and it is stating that the young hiers of the Wilson family Mr. Drake and Mr. Andrew wilson were indulged in human trafficking and Drugs like activities"
"It's also showing that they were in huge debit also, the company who were in partnership with them have broken their ties already but Mackson family ties are still strong with them. Knowing Mackson Family who are always been truthful and prideful in the market still being in the partnership with them are making huge negative comments in -"
Jack turned off the screen and rubbed his temples. He invested huge funds while stabilizing their partnership with them.
He stood up from his chair "Call press and broke the contract with them", he said in a authoritative tone.
"But dad if we did that we need too pay 5 million dollar as compensation, it would be a huge loss for the company" Aaron was stating a true fact after already investing a huge amount in Wilson Corps and feeding those bloody reporters for those 'Seraphina bitch news'. And after all that they still invest their funds in Rebel corps, they are financially fucked up right now.
"It doesn't matter now, we already give are all in cracking Rebel corps deal, and after tomorrow meeting it will all be clear" Jack knew very well their company situation and knowing Rebel corps who always handled their back and theirs that A level deal their is no chance that they will lose anything.
"Are you sure ?"
"Of course, they are investing and helping us for this long and even when are firm used to get in any type of trouble they used to help us. Believe me or not, this corps is standing just because of them and he is really a key to our success. Moreover now when he finally agreed to meet, I will try my best to persuade him to help us in destroying Robertson family which will be easy for them just like snapping their fingers"
Jack was right, Aaron agrees to that Rebel corps brings a huge growth in their company but only if we stay on their good side. Everyone knows the owner of corps is the son of a great mafia family and a another dangerous gangster who rules the underworld on his fingers, if we get on their bad side they will just erase from this world like if it was nothing.
Aaron nodded and called his secretary to arrange a press meeting.
