Their End, My Beginning

Chapter 8

All the way to Uncle Nat’s house, the thought of how my sweet aunt has turned into such a bitch kept

on nagging me a lot. After parking the car in the garage, I got into the house sighing thinking of moving

out soon so I no longer will be a bother to him, even though he keeps on saying that I should consider

his house as my own. Well, you can’t blame me. After seeing the turn of events today, I just can’t seem

to believe my family members.

When I got inside, I saw Uncle Nat in front of TV watching football. He and his craze for football have

never changed. At least that remained unchanged. I went to him and sat on the sofa.

After a few minutes he asked me, “Cupcake, what’s wrong you have been awfully quiet. Usually you

should have already bickered on how boring this match is. Not to mention you are home early, which I

don’t mind. What happened? Did something happen at office?” and seeing him worry for me, my eyes

started to tear up and I said everything that happened today starting from all the sympathetic smiles

hiding something to how my sweet aunt have turned to a bitch or to be more exact how she showed

her true colours.

“I shouldn’t have signed the document and gave her my shares if so, you would have a place in the

company though its just 5% it should have been enough for you to have a place.” He says while putting

his head in his hands.

“Uncle, I don’t blame in fact I am thankful that you were there for me when I needed someone to

support and protect me and I will always be grateful for that. Even if you had given that share to me, I Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

am sure Carol will find a way to get me out of the company.” I said hugging him and he hugged me

back.

“Uncle, please don’t be angry for what I am going to say next.”

“Well, it depends on what you say.” He chuckles while patting my back, encouraging me to continue

what I was saying.

“Uncle, I have been thinking of moving to a new place.”

“What!! No, what’s wrong cupcake did I do something wrong or did something weird happened for you

to say that though I think you have mentioned about this a few days ago. I think I have said my answer

then. What’s wrong now.” He said with a worried face.

“Uncle please don’t worry, I think you need your own space, I know you don’t mind me staying here but

I feel like I need to go through this alone, stand on my own feet and get my company back.” I said and

added “I just need a small apartment for me to stay I don’t think I can go back to my home it is filled

with lots of memories and when I am ready, I will think of something to do with it.”

“Darling, I don’t think it is safe for you to go through this alone let me help you.”

“Uncle your support alone is a great help for me and like I said don’t worry, I am Damien Black’s

daughter I am strong enough to stand on my own.”

“Speaking of finding a new apartment and mentioning your dad. I forgot to tell you something.” He

hesitated, and his next words brought me to tears.

“I got a letter from your Dad.”
