Chapter 2 - Chapter 2

Sherlyn was very sad today. because an unforgettable incident happens on this day, ten years ago.

Sherlyn's POV

This is the day my mom was killed by an evil lady. Her name is Mora. My papa, The King is really sad today. My stepmother, The Queen was wearing a black dress for the memorial of my mom.

I stand near my dad. I couldn't hold my tears. I loved my mom very much. She is very beautiful and always very kind to everyone.

After her death, my dad married another lady named Arom. She treated me nicely. but I didn't like her. I didn't show it outside. I treated her normally.

I can't understand why my father, married her. He won't trust anyone very easily. She looked very attractive and talked so sweetly to everyone.

Suddenly, I saw a familiar guy keeping a flower near my mother's photo. It's Max.

The next day I went to school. Jack came to me and asked about how I am. I give a fake smile.

"Hey, Ms Princess nice to see you today. Did you finished the English assignment", Max asked with a cute smile.

" No, I forget about it"

" Did you need any help?"

"No thanks. I will give my assignment to her" Jake interrupted. I can see jealous on his face. I laughed inside.

I wonder why Max came to my mother's memorial yesterday. He only came across a week in school and he didn't know me very well.

Maybe he came for the Queen, but he disappeared ten years ago. I think he has some reason for that and the weird thing is he talked to me like a friend this morning.

In the evening, Our teacher separated us into groups for a project. I was grouped with Max. We decided to do it in a quiet place. So we sat under a big tree. He was talking normally like a friend. I like that. He is very talented too. This is my chance to talk to him.

"Hey I saw you in my mom's memorial "

" Yeah. I saw you too"

"How did they allowed.."

" your father knows me very well"

"What...."I shocked.

"Now we are not too close but your father allows me to come there. I know your mom very well too. If she saw you now, she will be very proud "

"Thanks. but did you have any specific reason to come there?"

"Yeah"

"....."

"You should keep it a secret. ok"

"ok"

"Queen's murder and my disappearance occurred on the same day. So, I thought there will be a connection between the two incidents".
