Chapter 1 - PROLOGUE

As I enter dad's office, I walked inside and called my dad. "Dad? Are you here?" I called out. But, he's not answering. "Is he here?" I whispered as I continue walking. I noticed that the lights of his whole office is turned off. So, I proceeded to where the switches are. Then, I turned it on. Why are the lights turned off anyway? Is he sleeping? As I turned on the lights, I again called out. "Dad? Are you here?" I said then continued walking. Then, I finally stood in front of his table and saw that he's not there. I shook my head then finally realized that he's not here. Where did he go? He told me a while ago that he'll be here. I took a deep breath and turned around. I was about to went out of the room when I heard a sudden noise coming from the my dad's chair. So, I slowly walked to approach it and see what's going on. "Dad?" I whispered. Then, I heard someone coughed.

As soon as I heard the cough, I immediately went on the other side of the table. Then, what I saw was a very shocking scene. Dad is lying on the floor, full of blood. He's coughing of blood at the moment, and I can feel that he's not taking long. "Dad? W.. What ha.. happened?" I said while looking at him. "L.. Liam.." He's struggling then he reached his hand towards me. So, I knelt down to hold his hand. As I held him, I can feel the coldness of his whole body. Right now, my polo shirt is full of blood coming from him. "L.. Liam, he.. help.. me.." He said. Then, he finally closed his eyes and put down his hand. "Dad?" I touched his face after that. "Dad? No!" I tapped his face to wake him up but it's too late. I touched his neck to check the pulse but I felt nothing. "He.. He's dead.." I whispered to myself.

Then, I heard someone knocked the door. "Do not move!" The guy said while holding his gun. Then, the other one brought out his wallet and showed me that they are policemen. "We're here to arrest you for the case of murdering Mr. William Smith." He said. My eyes widened after hearing those words. "What? No! I didn't murder him!" I said while raising both of my hands as they are aiming the gun towards me. Then, one of the policemen came towards me and forcefully put my hands on my back. He put a handcuffs on both of my hands. "Sir, please.. Believe me! I didn't do this!" I shouted but he didn't listen. "You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be used against you." He said while making me stand up.

"Liam?" I heard a very familiar voice from the crowd who's witnessing the crime scene. "J.. Jarold? Believe me! I didn't do this! Please tell them that I'm innocent!" I said while looking at him. He just looked at me with disbelief. "H.. How could you do this to Dad? You killed your own father!" He said and started to cry.
