The Hotel staff pushed the trolley with him until he reached the door and gently closed it behind him. The room was once more engulfed in silence while Carter sat on the chair opposite me, arms crossed beneath his chest, and lost in his thoughts. I wonder what he was thinking but whatever it is, he appeared to be content. I vacated my seat and moved towards the flat tv screen and fumbled for the remote control.

It was already dark, and Brittania wasn't looking its best. Sharp lightning danced on the pitch-black sky to temporarily tear the darkness, loud resounding thunder shook the earth. Strong wind billowed the trees nearby. The storm raging outside wasn't the warm welcome I was half expecting to receive. It…

I yearned to take her in my arms, keep her there for the rest of my life, and never let her go away. Instead, what's happening is the complete opposite.

The black car peacefully rolled under the hot morning sky in the middle of the highway. Soon enough we would reach our destination—the airport— which is only one hour drive away from the Crawford Mansion. I sunk deeper into the front seat, clinging to the available warmth I could take to console myself from my unknown fate. The thought of leaving was enough to rattle my nerves and I fidgeted on my seat, anxiety and fear eating me inside. Until now, I couldn't believe I'm leaving Cordova. God knows how…

The grave expression on his face made me suddenly worried. It was the first time I saw the unusual expression on his handsome countenance. "Please come in Papa. I just finished packing." I closed my large suitcase after stuffing the last of my necessities inside and closed it. The door behind me opened and closed. When I turned towards father, he was…
