***FLASHBACK TO THIS MORNING***
Avia's phone was ringing and by the time she checked who it was, it was the private investigator she hired, she picked up immediately.
"Good morning ma'am"The PI greeted
"Morning,why so early?"She asked coldly
"Because it is important ma'am"The PI replied
"Okay, go on"Avia said coldly
"I still haven't find out who Rose is or where she lives but I found out the woman whose middle name is Rose is your mother ma'am. Your grandmother took you away from the woman immediately she gave birth to you. The woman who you considered your mother is infertile and can't give birth."The PI said and cough before he continues

"I guess that's all"Avia said and hanged up.
She stands up and walk to window to register everything said to her in her brain.

Avia was still in the garden crying which is making her head bang seriously, she searched her bag for her drugs and used it with the water she bought earlier from the convenience store. Her body calm a little before she realize she wasn't the only one sitting there and someone else was beside her, being the hard girl she is, she did not flinch at all.
"Why are you here?"Avia asked before looking at the person beside her
"To be your friend"Mimi who was beside Avia right before her headache
"I don't need a friend, stay on your lane"Avia said and stand up to leave before sitting back
"This is a private property, you should leave before I call the police"Avia added after realizing it is her house
"I will leave after giving you a piece of my mind. Miss Simpson, crying won't solve whatever problems you have, the only thing that can solve your problems is sharing it with someone. Acting like a hard girl will only break you more trust me. If you need anyone to talk to, Mimi will always be here for you"Mimi said before leaving the property.
Avia cry more after listening to what Mimi had to say to her, she believes she really needs a friend but does not want to trust anybody after everything that happened to her.
AVIA'S POV
What exactly should I feel after knowing the truth? I am the illegitimate child. After cursing the woman who gave birth to me, what should I feel? I am really disappointed in my father once again, this is all his fault, if he only he refused to marry my mother oh I mean the woman he married no she's my mother and no one can take that right away from her not even Rose, all this wouldn't have happened if he did something about it but no he decided to cheat on my mother and have this illegitimate child. How did my mother feel? How did she feel taking care of me an illegitimate child? Avia think about how Rose felt too, her child was taken away from her, no she was paid and she collected the money, she sold me out. Doesn't she love me or was I a mistake in her life? God this things are making me crazy, I need help but don't know who to ask for help, I can't even ask Mary, she's not who she seems to be. Who else can I ask for help? Miss Cruz? No I don't want to! I mistook betrayal for love twice and took an enemy as my friend so I don't want to do it anymore. But I have no one to turn to! Only God can help me right now.
MIMI'S POV
Wow!!! This girl is really using the hard girl cover, who could have thought she knows how to cry, she is always cold and dangerous. But how can I help her if she doesn't want my help? Secretly helping her, hmmm that's nice.
