United States of America…
"Dad! You sent someone to spy on me?!" She asked angrily.
"…." He spoke nothing. He was calm and observing the little girl standing infront of him.
"Why?" She yelled. "Just why, dad?" She asked downhearted.
"Sia.." he spoke in a gentle yet cold voice. "You clearly know my reason behind this. It's for your safety " he sighed.
"But dad, I'm quite capable of protecting myself! I don't need people around me to protect me all the time!" She yelled frustrated.
"Still…" he firmly said emitting his dominant cold aura. "I can't take a chance if that's something about you."
"You promised! To let me have my freedom once I turned 18! But still.. you keep doing this." Her jewel blue eyes became teary as she spoke.
"Baby…" he spoke sadly as he noticed tears in her eyes. "Please.. try to understand me." He sighed stepping closer to her. "Believe me. It is because I love you so much and I can't lose you-"
"If you love me so much then why can't you just give me my freedom?" Tears dripped down her cheeks.
He clenched his fists as she asked him that question. "I can't" he answered gritting his teeth and left the room. 'I'm sorry baby girl' he thought and sighed internally.
Hic…. " This is so unfair" she sniffed wiping her tears.
"Woah! Sia, you're a great actor, indeed" he smirked as he entered into her room.
"Zelan.." she sighed annoyed. "How many times I've told you not to eavesdrop someone,huh?" She pinched his ears.
"Oww! Sis.. I'm so sorry" he cried in pain.
"Brat" she left his ears and took out a large suitcase and placed it on her bed and started stuffing her clothes in it.
"You're really going to leave?" He asked gloomily.
"Yes" she replied nodding. "Dad still can't understand me. I don't know when I could clearly tell him that he is not being protective of me but is obsessed about this?" She sighed sadly. "He says he could give me everything but freedom but the thing is that I only want freedom, Zelan nothing else.." she spoke looking into his eyes. "I just want dad to understand this. But I guess.. that's never gonna happen" she chuckled sadly.
"Sis.." Zelan suddenly hugged her to comfort her feelings.
"It's all right Zelan…" she spoke hugging him back "I'm okay right now… and even more happier that I'm gonna escape this hell soon. Take Care" she said caressing his hair.
"I will. Be careful, all right?" He said sniffing on her shoulders like a kid.
"All right, little kiddo, I will" she said breaking the hug and pinched his nose.
"Sis! I'm not a kid anymore.. I'm 17!" He cried making his pale cherry lips into a pout.
"Still, a year younger than me" she giggled looking at his cute puppy face.
"All right" he pouted in defeat. "I'll miss you" he said sulking.
"Oww my puppy," she ruffled his hair smiling. "Don't be too sad, all right. And take care. Keep updating me about dad, okay?"
"All right.. bye" he said in a sad voice.
"Bye.." she smiled looking at him. "Dad must have gone out already… let's start our plan" she smirked looking at the guards all around the house out of her window.
"Sure.." he smirked devilishly.

"So.. how did you escape?"
"Fire…" Sia replied. "I put the kitchen on fire…" she said with a poker face.
"What!" She yelled in surprise.
"Eleanor Clinton! My ears.." Sia said covering her ears
"Sorry.." she said "but..what about uncle?"
"Don't worry. He would never know.." Sia spoke confidently. "Not in his dreams he would think I'll be back in London… and no matter what, I'm gonna find that culprit who did this to my family.." she said clenching her fists.
Sigh.. "don't you worry my baby girl, I will definitely help you on this" Eleanor said putting her hands on Sia's shoulder.
"Thank you" Sia smiled warmly.
"You don't need to" Eleanor said hugging her tightly.
'No matter what, I'll definitely find you..' Sia thought
