Chapter 1: The Argument

Chapter 1: ~~The Argument

"Dad!! I won't marry that dirty old bastard" Taylor yelled at Mr Matthews.

"Shutup, you will do as I say because I am your Father!!" "I decide things that goes on in this family!" "So why not now?!" retorted Mr Matthews.

"This is my life and I'll live it the way I want it to be and marry who I want to be with" "You can't force me to marry some random old hog just for the sake of *Business Partnership*" she said while air quoting.

Mr Matthews took the vase on the table near him and threw it at Taylor, which missed her head merely by 3 inches. Taylor looked at her Father in shock, her Mother who was also present was shocked as well.

"Dad, so you were going to hit me with the vase?" She asked still looking shocked. "Why wouldn't I? When I have an ungrateful, selfish, irritating brat as a daughter like you" angrily said by Mr Mathews.

"Me selfish and ungrateful? How can you say I'm selfish? When I've sacrificed so much just to make you proud of me and now you're saying I'm selfish?!" She said as she was breaking down in tears.

"All my life, I've always listened to you, not breaking any of your rules" "And when you asked me to take over the Family Business, I had to push away my dream of becoming a Writer and went into Business just like you asked of me, so I did, I took the place of Eldest Brother ever since he fell into coma!!" "Now you're calling me selfish, upon all the sacrifices and responsibilities I have to carry as the Third Child of the Family!"

She continues to yell and cry at the same time, "Ever since Brother Trevor died, things in this family have been going down!" "I missed him, If he was here, He wouldn't had allowed this to happen".

Then a sound was made, Mr Matthews slapped Taylor across as her, as she turned to her Father in disbelief. He then said, "Don't you dare bring up the matter of your Late Brother in the presence of your Mother!!". But it was too late, as she already heard everything she said, Mrs Mathews felt a pain stung to her heart as she heard Trevor's name again. Immediately, tears started to flow from her eyes and she said, "Tr..evvorr, My ba..by...is..go.nne" "Tr..evvorr" she began to stutter as she was weeping.

Mr Matthews immediately went by her side and comforted her but she kept crying and calling out her Late Son's name, "Tre..vorr why did.. you...leave us?". She fell on her Husband's chest and continued sobbing.

Taylor just kept standing as she witnessed her Mother crying. It's been 5 years since Trevor died, even though it's been long its strikes an emotional trigger in all of us at the mention of his name. Even little Julian can't even remember Trevor since he died when he was too little.

I felt bad for reminding the past, but what can I do? If he didn't died none of this would have happened. Our family wouldn't been tearing apart, Elder Brother, Josiah wouldn't had been in a coma and I wouldn't have to so many responsibilities if he was here.

💭: I miss you Trevor, I wish you were here to protect me, She wished. She couldn't stay here again, staying here would only make things worst for her Family. 💭: I have to leave here, matters will only just get worst if I stay here to long.

She decided that once it's dawn she'll leave the Mansion. Exactly by dawn, Taylor began to pack her bags and escape through the secret tunnel behind their old Mansion, as she was packing the things she'll need, Julian was awake and went to her room feeling a disturbed feeling he went to see his sister on the arrival of her packing her luggages and was leaving.

"Are you really going to leave?" The little 11 years old boy asked. She was surprised as she turned to see Julian in his cute froggy pajamas. Seeing his sad expression she said to him reassuringly, "No, of course not" "Why would Big Sis want to leave you?". He said "Because I heard Big Sister and Papa arguing and Papa slapped Big Sister" "Why did Papa slapped Big Sister??" He said looking confused, sad and scared. She was shocked. 💭: Julian heard everything?! He was about to cry as she held him and hugged him.

"No, don't be upset" "Dad and I just had a little quarrel, nothing else, okay?" She said while looking at him. "Then why is Big Sister packing her bags? Are you running away? Julian asked while looking at her already packed luggages and began to cry, "Waaahhh, don't..leave, Sister!". On seeing this she quickly hushed him and said "No, no, no, Big Sister is not leaving you, She's just going on a trip and will come back very soon" "Really?" He asked. "Definitely, I'll come back very soon and when I will, we'll play many games, okay?" She said, "Okay" he replied obediently amd waved her good bye and returned back to his room.

Taylor quickly collected her things and made her way to the secret entrance at the back of the Mansion, where her car was parked carefully. She put her luggages in the trunk of her car and got in the driver's seat and started driving far away from the Mansion. With the money she made during the years she saved it in her personal account. She arrived at XXX Airport and quickly bought her plane ticket and boarded the next plane to Tokyo, Japan.

She was finally free from the clutches of her Father and ready to pave way for her new freedom. So she thought, who knows what will wait ahead for her in this journey. New challenges? Problems? Enemies?
