I take in the scenery outside the window in my 19-year-old self.
My gaze vacant. My mind blank.
I did not want to think because I'm sure my old memories will arise, killing my intent to live now.
A roar of engine breaks my stupor of stare into the horizon.
My gaze fells on the Aston Martin that parks right in front of the porch. My hands turned cold as I watch the young man exits the car.
His gaze roam around until it fell on me.
His face stayed neutral as if he was staring at a stranger before he tears his eyes away and walks in the mansion.
I ignored these signs in last life, thinking if I tried more, just a little more, they will see me as theirs too but not this time.
I turn and walk in ignoring the hollow feel in my chest.
It is useless to cling onto something that has never existed and my feeling for this family had always been one-sided.
I lay back on the bed. Closing my eyes to find peace within myself by pushing down my inner chaos that makes my emotions go haywire.
A knock on the door disturbs me.
Clarissa Parker [FL]
*eyes closed* Come in
Maid
*head down as enter* Good evening, young miss. Master had summoned you to the family room. *bow*
Clarissa Parker [FL]
*eyes closed* You can leave
Maid
*hesitate* Miss, Master-
Clarissa Parker [FL]
*open eyes* *look at her coldly* Are you disobeying me?
Maid
*tremble* I would not dare, young miss. *scramble out*
I stared at the maid who left as if her life was on the line. It was because everyone knew not to mess with me. That is probably why even the people who I thought my family isolated me.
